These Rebel Waves | 
I‘m keeping these by my bed as remainders to read them. It doesn‘t always work out. But I‘ve made this year the year to read pirate and nautical books, so I should succeed, at least with These Rebel Waves! 🏴☠️
so-soThis book ends strong, very strong, enough that I did reserve the sequel, but the lead up was too variable for me to endorse full-on. The worldbuilding is both inventive and incomplete, the characters both engaging and unpredictable (not necessarily in a good way), and the plot is by turns satisfying and exciting, and shark-jumping. The aesthetic is 💯💯 very #pirates , much #queerbooks , but it was a mixed bag. Audio performance was good.
Bit torn on this one-- the world/background/motivation is... Inconsistent. Parts of the world building I find really interesting, and parts of it I find really patchy and under constructed. The places where the world does not feel believable take away from the character motivations, which is a shame because I think I could really love these characters. I'm sticking with it though, especially now that the plot has really gotten going. 👌👌

@LeahBergen I knew you‘d find a copy of P&P I didn‘t have for the collection (189)! 😍
Thanks for sending your personal Jane Austen mystery book; it has found an appropriate new home 🥰
Thank you for the book sleeve, chocolate, cookies, hot chocolate, tea and bookmarks, notebooks, lip balm, tabbies, socks, keychain, and the CAT Austen card-cute; I love it all!
And I can‘t wait to read These Rebel Waves 🏴☠️
Just the most lovely beach day 💙🌊
My June #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks!
These Rebel Waves is also one of my picks for my #ReadYourSign Cancer challenge so this worked out pretty perfectly 😊
Excited to read both of these books and so glad to be over my reading funk!

Instead of being a productive reader dealing with my unread ARCs...Imma reread a book that came out like two years ago ✌️
Silent book club reads! Excited to meet Sara Raasch in September
Mountain sunset reads! Pulled over on the Blue Ridge Parkway to watch the sun dip behind the mountains
Marathon read!!! This book is due tomorrow at the library. Why do I keep doing this to myself? 🤦🏽♀️
so-soBook 5 in O.W.L.s readathon-prompt was Transfiguration=read a book with sprayed pages or red cover-this one has green sprayed pages.YA fantasy where some colonies want to live independent others want the power.War will be with the use of magic plants that can cause permanent illness making armies week.It was from ok to so-so.Sometimes confused, other boring, other slow other full of adventure.2.85⭐️Lets see the sequel b/c I liked some characters
so-soI finished this sometime last week, but grad school has been eating my life! Which is why it's probably been a month since I have been on Litsy. Anyway, this book was decent, though I can't believe the cliffhanger that it was left at! Interesting enough plot about a rebellious new government and a cool magic system! Listened to this one on #audio via #scribd
pickI wasn‘t sure about this at the start, but about a third of the way through it hooked me! 😁
For my birthday my husband got me my very first Fairy Loot!! 🖤💜🖤💜
I love when I have time to actually crack open a book ❤️📚
What‘s your favorite way to read??? 📖

There are worse ways to start your day 🤗
Kind of hard to hold a book when there is pile of purring fluffballs in your lap 😻🤓
pickWow, it took me a long time to read this book. But I finally finished it and I've liked it so much! I was going to rate it with 3 stars but those final chapters were amazing so it's a solid 4!!! Anyway, it's true that the worldbuilding could be better, but I loved the characters and the plot and this time that's enough for me ✌🏼
Starting my next new adventure. Anyone reading or read it already? What are your thoughts?

pickI been shook to my core! HOLY BALLS! This was better than Snow Like Ashes and I LOVE Snow Like Ashes!
I swear I can't read anything even the tiniest bit pirate related without using my Captian Jack bookmark 😁
I love the worldbuilding! The characters are also great, this could be one of my best readings of the year 😍

Such a gorgeous edition of These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch.Not only is there these stunning green sprayed edges, it‘s also not just signed, but also has a little message from her (Make Waves!)as well! Very very happy with this box & my #owlcrate this month too(except for the double book which unfortunately looks like is happening again next month😔)Still, even with a book double,both editions are so different it doesn‘t matter so much.🧚🏼♂️💚💚

My weekend is so packed and #24in48 is sadly pretty impossible but I‘m still trying to get these two bad boys read 😬
A thrilling new fantasy series—full of deadly magic, double crosses, and a dangerous quest in a new world—from Sara Raasch, the New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series.
This cover could go one if two ways. Flat like in this picture is okay, but if the add some embossing in the right places, and either metallic one play with matte and slick, it could be amazing.
