The Diabolic | 
so-soI really liked Nemesis and her bond with Sidonia. But I still would have prefered to be more emotionally attached to the characters.
I really loved the beginning: it was really intriguing & thrilling.
The middle part of the book wasn't really captivating to read, even though there was action. I just couldn't feel as much as I would have loved to and after the amazing beginning was a bit disappointed. The last part was better.

pickI reread this in anticipation for The Nemesis releasing Tuesday. After years, I can't wait!
pick🎧 The narrator was good. The story was very reminiscent of Cinder. If you liked the Lunar Chronicles you may also like this series. This is the 1st book in the series. Nemesis is an interesting character. The ending feels very YA so we shall see in book 2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3

Thank you for my tags @Moony and @DaveGreen7777
To play along just post a picture of a book cover that you love, no explanation required! And if you fancy it, tag someone else that you think would have fun with this 😊
@Palimpsest do you want to give this a go? 😁
Past and well loved (some a little destroyed from all the lovin‘) SFF books I‘ve read. Never liked the Twilight series but I did LOVE The Host and ended up like the movie as well. Titan A.E. is honestly better as a novelization although the animated movie is great too. The Diabolic was SO GOOD and SO TWISTY! And Lying Cat making an appearance~

so-soOverall an enjoyable read! It was entertaining and once I got into it (took me 11 chapters), I read most of it in one night. Some of the characters and ideas I really enjoyed but did find some of them inconsistent or unpolished. I also found myself being able to predict most of the book, aside from two instances. If you want a good casual read, this is it. Not the next Harry Potter, but I just might read the sequel.
pickOH MY GOD I LOVE THIS BOOK I NEED THE SEQUEL!!!
Intrigue!!! Conspiracy!!! Betrayal!!! Love!!! SPACE!!! So excited to read the next one and will probably go out tomorrow to buy it. Highly recommend!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Taking a little break from the #redrisingseries and thought I would give this one a go! Have any of you read it? What did you think?

It‘s that time!!! #24in48 #readathon here‘s my line up! Don‘t mind me this weekend I‘ll be spending it reading!!
"...They look like us, but they aren't really human beings like you and me. They're predators. They can't feel empathy or kindness. They simply don't have the capacity for it. That's why when they're old enough, we (humans) have to civilise them..." ~
pickObssessed by Mariah Carey!!!!!
"Diablolic's weren't people. We looked like people. We had the DNA of people, but we were something else: creatures fashioned to be utterly ruthless and totally loyal to a single individual. We would gladly kill for that person, and only for them. That's why the elite imperial families eagerly snatched us up to serve as lifelong body guards for themselves and their children, and to be the bane of their enemies."
New book to read! Bargain price of $3.97. Yes, it's a hardback. I 😍 discounts.
@MommyOfTwo Thank you, thank you! I love everything (especially how we were on the same page with coffee mugs ☕️)! It‘s perfect - and I‘m loving the homemade goodies!
Have a wonderful day celebrating your sons birthday! ❤️

Whaaaaaa?!
Thank you soooooooo much @MaleficentBookDragon for this complete surprise mail happiness!! I'm so excited to read all of these books! And just thank you for the thoughtfulness 💖🤗💖😍💖😘💖💙💖
(Also sorry I didn't post last night when I first received this joy ... chaos often takes over until I pass out in bed 😜)
#bookmail Waiting on 2 more and than that's all I've ordered. I'd say 13 books is a good amount of books ordered for July. Now, I need to tackle my HUGE TBR pile before I order any more! The Secret Horses sounds like such a cute little book, horses/unicorns are my weakness, so I couldn't resist for that one. But now, my wallet needs a break 😂
so-soInteresting book, kept me mostly gripped but boring at parts.
pickLoved this book! The last bit of the book I just couldn‘t put it down. The author played on suspense so well! So many twists and turns that kept you on your toes!
pickMe in the last 1/3 of this book. Now that is a bloody ending!
Finally picking this up!
pickI didn‘t realize that this was dystopian when I picked it out of the list of books on my TBR and I probably would have skipped it because I‘ve been getting tired of the genre, but I‘m glad I didn‘t. It reminded me a little bit of Cinder, but a lot darker. It‘s an interesting concept of having a “person” made with the sole purpose to protect a single other person. Very intriguing.
Post a cover that you love. No explanations. #4. #7days7bookcovers
What do you do if you go to the doctor and have to have an unexpected, somewhat painful, biopsy and ultrasound?
Well, if you are me you go to all your happy places afterward. Bookstore, shoe store, craft store, and go see Star Wars.
This is up next. I had my son scroll through my TBR list and randomly pick a book for me to get at the library.
pickY'all know how much I love a good political drama, and this story definitely delivered. It had everything I could ever want — an imaginative world, political machinations that kept me guessing, warring philosophies, convenient-alliance-turned-forbidden-romance, female friendship. My only wish is that I could see more of the poetic language I only got hints of. Maybe in the sequel? Let's find out! ★★★★☆.
#currentlyreading | Apparently this is addictive & explosive. Perfect.
So a friend and I Re arguing over if this is a cover change or not. I say yes. The two barely resemble each other. The first as the butterfly with knives for wings and the second a bird coming out of a ball or an egg. I say cover change. What do you say.

#itsbeginning to look like I won't be finishing my book club read. We meet tomorrow and I'm only on page 6. Time once again has got the best of me. First book for December #tbr
pickStarted this book at around 930 at night and finished it at 2 AM. Can't wait for the next installment!!!
pickLoved it! A well written, fast paced story with great characters and the right amount of details. I wanna thank FelixFelicis for the suggestion!😃
I think I'm down to a choice between these three as my next read. Decisions, decisions.
"All this desire to learn...Learning is an absurd use of time, if you ask me, especially when one can simply consult a computer..."
One of the reasons I love YA and science fiction is because it so profoundly gives a glimpse into our all too possible and terrifying future. Hopefully if we know better we will do better.
Has anyone else read this? It is really friggin good!!
Awesome! I love everything @Leslie2 ! Thank you so much- you have great taste😁#bibliophilebookexchange
