Somewhere Beyond the Sea | 
pickA lovely follow up to The House on the Cerulean Sea, this book centering in on Arthur, the loving wonderful caregiver to the orphanage in book 1. This one is definitely message heavy, but messages worth sharing. The characters are as lovable as the first book and we get a new character that is a delight. It felt just a little long, and the ending was a bit convenient. However, it was still a comfy, cozy read. 4⭐️
pickThe House in the Cerulean Sea did not need a sequel, but I‘m not mad about it! This one has almost the same plot as the first, and it‘s a tad heavy-handed in parts—but honestly, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids are (even more) hilarious, Arthur and Linus are wonderful, and it was a delight to spend time with them all. If TJ Klune decides to write more in this world, I‘ll totally read it—but I‘m hoping for origin stories if he does. ⤵️

So excited to receive this one! The first one was damaged, but they quickly replaced it! It is gorgeous! Can‘t wait to read it! 💫💛🌟 🌊

Did I get overly excited and preorder this book from two different retailers? Yes, yes I did! 🤪
Earlier this year I made a collage of “S” books on my TBR for a photo challenge, and I decided to turn it into a reading challenge. With this charming sequel from TJ Klune for #authoramonth I have completed that challenge.
pickMy favorite book of the year. Giving it all the stars ❤️🌈🌻🌸🍄🐚🎼🌳
I pre-ordered this February and it‘s finally here!! I am so excited!
pickThemes: Fantasy, LGBT, Amazing storytelling that has laughs along the way
I hope, hope, HOPE there is at least another book in this series coming someday🤞I love the characters, I love Klune‘s storytelling and I love the queer representation here. It‘s a great read that while at times isn‘t easy, it‘s extremely important nonetheless. If you enjoyed the first book (“The House in the Cerulean Sea”), you will love this one too!
It‘s complicated!
Goodreads says I‘m “currently reading” six books…
I‘m MOST currently reading the tagged book.

Treated myself to lunch out at my favorite sandwich place 😋 I enjoyed a delicious sandwich and a few chapters from this deliciously entertaining novel too! #happysaturday
🎉🎉🎉 I was hoping for the print or ebook to show up first, but I‘ll take it! Looks like some audiopuzzling is in my future…
pickI loved being back on the island with Arthur, Linus, Zoe and the children.

“Thanks for coming here with your face and your words.”
Lucy‘s snark in this book is just 🤌🏻 chef kiss! I seriously LOVE this kid!
#TJKlune #SomewhereBeyondTheSea #CeruleanChronicles #Lucy #snark #chefkiss
But, given their track record, even given a chance, WILL they learn anything? Of all the chances they have has thus far, HAVE they learned anything? Part of me wants to tell Lucy to have at it! If the “anti-Christ” can want to change people‘s minds so they will be more accepting of others, that‘s probably pointing at a problem with people never learning from their own pasts than a need to be given a chance to learn something new. Just saying.
I started on this today as soon as work was over. So excited & love it so far! If anyone wonders what I‘m doing this weekend, I‘m on the couch reading.
pickI think this was even better than The House of the Cerulean Sea. It had a lot more laugh outloud moments, but could also be tense at times. I loved it. 5 stars.

Having arrived on my doorstep this afternoon, I really have no choice but to start reading it…
So pumped to visit with Arthur, Linus, Zoe and this amazing island again!! I have to hurry up and finish my current read so I can dive into this one 🥰 #LibraryLunchFun
pickThis is my biggest pick of the year. Hands down. This book is SO poignant and even more beautiful. I laughed, a lot. I cried happy tears, a lot. I‘m not a crier, so that‘s really saying something. I inhaled this book. I couldn‘t stop reading. I couldn‘t stop listening. Read this book with some tissues and an understanding that anyone who can see or hear you are going to think you‘re crazy (and that‘s okay)! It‘s absolutely worth it.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
This book is perfect from the dedication to the acknowledgments!

Have been looking forward to this book for months as a back-to-school treat! Beyond The Cerulean Sea was the book that broke my pandemic reading slump, and the beginning of this one is offering the same charm. I love kids books and YA but it‘s nice to read some fantasy where caring adults are trying to take care of magical kids, even if they are making it up as they go.

Also, death to price stickers 😭
IT‘S HERE IT‘S HERE!!! I‘m trying so hard to go back to sleep and not start it right now in the middle of the night. I need to get stuff done tomorrow, so sleep would be good. My #hardcover will be here today or tomorrow.

pickAbsolutely loved being back in this world. The chapters with the children were golden. They've all become a wonderful family. I'm keen to see how the story goes on; the sample ended with a cliffhanger.
#NetGalley #ARC #MountARC
Opened #NetGalley to admire my Camp NetGalley badge and saw that I had four new ARCs on my shelf. 😀 Didn't expect it to be these four books.
🥳🥳🥳
Made my day, possibly my week. I'll start with the tagged #ARC.
#Two4Tuesday
1. Podcast
2. Very excited about Sarah Rees Brennan‘s Long Live Evil which comes out in a couple of weeks. And if we stretch summer into September, I really want to read the tagged book just as soon as I hold it in my hands.
@TheSpineView
1. I just got an e-arc for the tagged book (sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea)
And I am very excited. It comes out in September, but I can‘t wait!
2. I don‘t. I‘ve got so many books. But, give me a week or so.
