Told you I was whizzing through this! Kaufman & Kristoff are geniuses at making me turn pages and suck me into the story! The last line, “You wanna know how it ends?” Hell yeah! Fortunately the next book is on a bookshelf upstairs. This is an amazing series - just fantastic! #FabulousFebruary #WinterRespite #SERIES2021 #SHUTDOWNRound2 #BFC21 #BookSpinBingo #21 #100YEARS100BOOKS

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y
TheSpineView Great series! 🤩📖 4y
RedxoHearts Glad to hear you love them so far. I actually just started giving Illuminae a second chance reading. It had been on my didnt finish list. I must just have not been in the mood because I like it now so far. I'm always a sucker for books written in that epistolary format I think it's called. 4y
Allylu @RedxoHearts I put it off for a long time, but once I started I couldn‘t put it down. I have to restrain myself from starting the 3rd one because I have other books I need to read. 😊📚 4y
Andrew65 Love these, well done 👏👏👏 4y

The Inheritance Games | Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Inheritance Games reminds me of The Seven Sisters but on a YA level. There are 4 brothers and their grandfather left his huge fortune to a girl they‘ve never heard of along with a puzzle. There are clues all around, danger, and love triangles. Just as one puzzle is solved, another is discovered eventually leading to the next book. It‘s pretty good. #BookSpinBingo #10 #100Years100Books #BFC21 #SHUTDOWNRound2 #WinterRespite

What can I say about this book? So appropriate that I finished it during Black History Month. The story it tells is so compelling and it makes me feel that the mind of the author must have been so full of urgency to write this tragic tale. It‘s heartbreaking. #BookSpinBingo #BS from January and #3 February #BFC21 #SHUTDOWNRound2 #WinterRespite #100YEARS100BOOKS

Listened to this book today. It was refreshing. It‘s about a couple of rebel seniors (senior citizens) down on their luck who find others in the same situation and do something about it. The narrator was excellent and the book was quirky and fun. Looking up book 2. (Not that I need another series to read, but it was so much fun!!) #BookSpinBingo #11 #BFC21 #SHUTDOWNRound2 #SERIES2021 #WINTERRESPITE

If you like historical fiction and tales of Great Britain‘s part in WWII, this book is for you. I got so involved with the characters that I had to look them up to see which ones were based on real people. Turns out many of them are! Going to look for more books by Kate Quinn! The audiobook was very well done, too. It was my first NetGalley pick of 2021. #BookSpinBingo #22 #BFC21 #SHUTDOWNRound2

This is my choice for the #BOOKED2021 prompt: #COVIDHEROES. As a fan of Grey‘s Anatomy and with much respect for doctors and nurses, especially right now, I liked it a lot. It was irreverent in places but definitely portrayed the long hours, weird injuries, and the relationship things a doctor misses because he/she cares about his/her patients. So, show them you care how they‘re doing. #BookSpinBingo #20in4 #BFC21 #JUMPSTART2021 #SHUTDOWNRound2

I read Alice‘s Adventures in Wonderland back in 2018, so I decided to listen to it this time. I discovered a great little audiobook on Hoopla. The narrator was very entertaining and I loved the book as much as I did the first time! A classic! #FairytaleChallenge #ShutdownRound2 #BFC21 #BooklyWinterReadathon #BookSpinBingo #JUMPSTART2021
