Book 2 of this series complete. I am Audio crafting while listening. The MC Is really good. The town is plague with people who are running away or hiding from something. Great story. Working my way through #ISpyJanuary and #NoShameReadingChallenge and a couple #Readathons #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove24

I decided to include in my monthly #BookSpinBingo list, books with fall vibes. I thought this book complied with that criteria🙄maybe only the cover☺️
I was surprised with this short YA fantasy novel. I liked the world, set in medieval time?, liked the characters and plot.
This world is “manipulated” I could say by the presence of gods. Any request, advice to the gods, has a prize, a sacrifice. But gods have limits, they can be destroyed, killed⬇️

Gissy Then, worship of gods was prohibited, punishable by law. The veiga, godkillers operate in the name of kings and Kissen is a godkiller. She lost her leg in a promise, by whom, why? Later she will know Inara who needs her help as a godkiller to find some answers for a god she has attached to her, Skedi. They will go to “Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside” (blurb) The another traveler will join them, Elo who apparently is a “baker”.⬇️ 12mo
Gissy (Cont.) Kissen, Inara with Skedi and Elo will travel together, each one with secrets, each one will beg for a personal favor to this god...and the adventure starts. The story is full of action, betrayals but also has hope. There is a twist not necessarily a surprised one but a good one to leave you with the sensation to continue with the story. 3.8⭐️The book has mixed reviews. I‘m in the side of “ liked the story”☺️ 12mo
Gissy That‘s the Illumicrate edition where the main characters appear. As YA fantasy, I enjoyed it.

Mehso-so

😬Unpopular opinion. I didn‘t like this one as much as I wanted to🤷🏽‍♀️It is so hyped that I was expecting more. Book was discussed in my book club and we had the same impression. No much plot with cute characters but not well described. But I love my two editions. I have the sequel which I will read and I will buy the UK edition of the second boo just match that one, book collector😂 2.5/3⭐️

5feet.of.fury I also did not like this one, it was too slow & corny. How many pages were spent just changing the coffee menu? But I‘m not a big cozy fan in general. 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 12mo
Gissy @5feet.of.fury Yes it was corny. I like cozy books but I this one I didn‘t see a great plot. I‘m with you...why they have to spend so much time changing the menu😂 12mo
monalyisha @5feet.of.fury I *do* appreciate a “nothing much happens” cozy story, so I don‘t share your opinion…but your comment made me LOL. 12mo

This is the last book in this series but the story is a pre-sequel, what happened before the Hunger Games, how and why these games were created. It is about who is Coriolanus Snow. The story is slow and repetitive, maybe this should be rated in Litsy as a so-so. But I still liked to know who was this character and how and why this world existed. For me was interesting. Snow....you born like that or you were raised like that?🤔 3⭐️

Gissy #SeriesRead2023 This is my 8th series completed this year. Well some series I only needed to read 1 or 2 books to complete the series. But is almost an accomplished goal. My goal was to finish 10 series (trilogy/duology/series), I still have time to accomplish it. @Andrew65 @TheSpineView 13mo
Nessavamusic Great job! 13mo

Mix feelings with this one because of the ending but it started so well. This couple went to this isolated cabin, owned by Faye‘s parents. They would celebrate their engagement. But then there are “ghastly” noises...someone/something is out there in the woods🥺The audiobook is amazing. I enjoyed this horror novel. Fast reading. 3/3.5⭐️

Book was received last year during #CreepyChristmas 2022 from @CindyLufeIsLit @teebe (coordinator)


Gissy I like the original cover as well as this one. 13mo

What can I say? It was fantastic as a YA Post Apocalyptic novel. The audiobook was fantastic with narrator Tatiana Maslany. I need to watch the movies again. Couldn‘t put it down. 4⭐️

Late reading for #LittensLoveRomance book arrived super late (December 2022 book) @Staycurious
I didn‘t like much the story, neither the ending. But I liked Nolan, his family story and how he supported them. Also, how he respected Bee‘s work. Few funny scenes. 1.5/2⭐️it didn‘t work for me but I loved this cover.
