Great second book in this series! This one follows Jax and Tycho (my favorite couple) as war is looming and everyone keeps trying to hide their magic. Lots of different POVs and storylines and I‘m hoping book 3 comes out soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ oh update: I finished just in time. The 3rd book comes out Jan 27th!

5feet.of.fury Yessss! I love this series! So excited for book 3! 3h

A brilliant new audiobook from a childhood classic! if you've never heard of T.A. Barron now is the time to get into his works! i LOVE this series so much. it was one of the very first books i read as a pre-teen and i have continued to enjoy his works well into my 30+ old age. this brand new audiobook blends the world with a beautiful narration, with the forward read by T.A Barron himself! A perfect new beginning to an old classic!

A Sorceress Comes to Call | T. Kingfisher

My first T. Kingfisher was exactly what I wanted! A new fairytale with clever sisters, daughters claiming their own power, selfless girl friends, and one evil witch - I mean, sorceress, excuse me.

Love that #AuthorAMonth encouraged me to read a new to me author who‘s been on my TBR for too long!

The timing is prescient because soon a body is found in the bakery and Mona is accused of the murder. Setting out to prove her innocence, she befriends a street urchin Spindle and together they find corruption and magic genocide. Only knowing baking magic, Mona feels incapable of ⬇️

Texreader confronting the disaster facing her kingdom. So in “coming-of-age” fashion, Mona begins to grow in confidence and talent. This is a charming book! A perfect book to start the new year. #authoramonth @Soubhiville 20h

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets | J.K. Rowling

pick

One of the book clubs I run at the library wanted to read the first Harry Potter book last year. Most people in the group are older retired teachers who had never read the book before. They enjoyed the first one so much that our first book club read for 2026 is the second book.

Jim Dale does a great job with the audio. And I enjoyed my reread of this one. I will once again discuss all the issues with Rowling as a person at our meeting, though.

MyNamesParadise Harry Potter was such an integral part of my childhood. I was beyond obsessed!! It was really disappointing to learn of her views. I don‘t understand why she would jeopardize the relationship with fans from all over the world by being so hateful about it. I feel like I can‘t say I like Harry Potter, but the truth is I still love it and could see myself continuing to re-read the series as I get older. I‘m almost 34 now. 2h

I really tried but at 22% I call it quits. It‘s so much longer and I am not that invested in the story so far. Too many books, too little time 🤷🏻‍♀️

BkClubCare Yeah, I am starting to think I won't make it to Completist status for ToB this year. And that's okay. 1d

BarbaraBB @BkClubCare I won‘t even try this year! 1d

Bookwormjillk I am still miles back on the library waiting list for this one. My friend at work said I wouldn't like it so I don't know if I should believe her or read it and like it out of spite. 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no! I have a beautiful copy that has just been sitting here. It is on my short list. I think her books in this vein (Including Babel) are do a very specific reader so I am hoping I get on with this one. 1d

BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk 🤣 Choices choices! 1d

BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures I did like Babel but I read that in print and audio is much harder for me (no native English) so I got a bit lost and didn‘t feel invested enough to find out! 1d

dabbe #hailthebail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 1d

Hooked_on_books I have zero interest in reading this book. Babel wasn‘t for me so I‘m not much interested in her fantasy. (I did like Yellowface, though.) From what I‘ve read, her readers are not as happy with this one as they were with Babel. 1d

BarbaraBB @dabbe 🙌🏽 1d

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I agree on that, Babel was better, but then again, who am I to judge, bailing after 22%… (edited) 1d

LeeRHarry I thought Babel was ok and I didn‘t like Yellowface so I won‘t be reading anything else from this author anytime soon. As you said, too many books too little time! 😊 1d

Flaneurette You aren‘t really missing much, I should have bailed but I persevered because some of the afterlife/hell stuff was interesting. It took me Forever to read and put me in a bit of a slump. The emotional core of this book is very YA with some show-offy, look how smart I am bits thrown in. There was some important stuff about being female in academia and monstrous men in power but I know this already 1d

BarbaraBB @Flaneurette Thank you for this post. It confirms what I expected 😘 1d

squirrelbrain I tried this in print and bailed fairly quickly. I have the audio on reserve but I don‘t think I‘m going to bother. I‘m not going to be a completist either @bkclubcare as I‘m not going to read the Bunny one. I‘m reading as many as I like the look of from the longlist. 1d

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @BkClubCare I don‘t think I will read Bunny nor

REPollock I have similar meh feelings about this. My library loan expired and I had a lot left so I got back on the list for it but when I come back up for it, my plan is to read one chapter and if I‘m still meh, bail. 20h
