So I will always love the original books that this is based on, and I was excited to hear that his perspective had come out as an independent story. It added a nuance to the tale that I otherwise would not have gotten. For that alone, this is a solid pick. I do however implore the potential reader to read her perspective first. Starting with Kushiel‘s Dart. #recentlyread #companionbook #romance #fantasy #alternateuniverse

Reckless Girls: A Novel | Rachel Hawkins

Since I didn‘t get any recommendations from my last post, my sister came through and chose this book. It is definitely a thriller and reads like one (I was speed reading and done in a day and a half), but tbh maybe it is not cup of tea, maybe it was the ⚠️☠️🩸 but I was put off by some of it, despite the meaningful message in the end. What do others think? #recentlyread #troubleinparadise #thriller

Here. Be happy, be excited, get mad, be heartbroken and completely wrung out by the end. But also dragons. And now you have to wait.

So, some things don‘t change. 🫠 I still can‘t write reviews timely. But at least I got through it. I am in new territory. It was still emotional, a roller coaster and a story of growth with some heartbreaks and triggers (🔥😭😞) but some positive stuff, too. I am excited about the next book, but then I think I will actually be done?? 🥹🤔🙏🏻 #recentlyread

I‘m borrowing a copy from a coworker (I will own it one day!!) and so the picture isn‘t mine. I am so glad that the hype was not over exaggerated! Violet is awesome (bookish badass) and the school she gets to go to is brutal, but fun and has some powerful lessons. There is the sexual tension, too. And 🐉!! Also, totally did not see the twist! #recentlyread

@TheSpineView here is my (short) wrap-up for the readathon. I managed to only make a dent in one book (I finished it a day later), but we did get to enjoy the sunshine ☀️ and the beach 🏖️ as a family of 3 one last time, and that was special. #recentlyread 💙

TheSpineView Great pics! Thanks for joining in! 2mo
aa_guer2021 @TheSpineView thank you for hosting. Juggling mom life and reading time has been interesting, but it is important for my wellbeing and I am thankful when I have the time for it! 🥹😀📚🐛 (edited) 2mo

Hands down ended up the favorite of this series, so far. But I was so angry (confused?) at first. I didn‘t expect the dark twist (perhaps I should have?) and was so angry at Tamlin! But the city was a shock, and her growth was inspiring. And I must say Rhysand is a surprise. Of course blissful peace and growth eternal would be so boring 🤣 so there‘s the impending doom, war & conspiracy, too. #recentlyread #nospoilers #fantasy

Anger. Surrender. Bliss. Devastation. Triumph. All those emotions and more are encountered in this initial book of the series. I cried. I cheered. I groaned and winced. By the end I was rooting for Feyre with all my heart, and couldn‘t wait to dive into book 2. #recentlyread #nospoilers #fantasy

P.S. Thank you to a friend of mine for prompting me to move these up the TBR and crack open the box!

There haven‘t been too many books this year that have sucked me in and taken me for a ride, and I miss that feeling of not being able to turn the pages fast enough. 🥹🙃 Borrowed this from the library Friday, and before our trip to visit the family in NJ on Saturday (and during) finished it, cover to cover. Paranormal & Fae is just my ☕️. Onto number 2, ASAP! #recentlyread #paranormal #nospoilers #fastpaced

annahenke I‘ve always wondered about these books! 2y
aa_guer2021 @annahenke think someone exactly not the typical crime fighter suddenly seeks revenge and finds out there is more to her life than she has ever known, and also more to the world (in the paranormal sense) than she ever thought possible. If you like that kind of thing, it really sucks you in. 2y
annahenke @aa_guer2021 color me intrigued! 2y
