Joining! After work today (Friday), I have a long weekend off from work; so that looks promising. No work tomorrow and next Monday 🥳
After a particularly unpleasant week at work I hope to make some time for pleasant distraction (i.e. reading😁)

#JubilantJuly Check-In: Not as much as I hoped timewise, but got two #EarlyReviewer ARCs finished and my outstanding #reviews done, so: success!!!😉

#20in4 #JubilantJuly #readathons #summer @Andrew65

Andrew65 Best of luck 😁 Sorry to hear about the work week, hope things improve. (edited) 2y

I've shared a review of The Sittaford Mystery on my blog. Please note that this is a review of a TV adaptation.

I love this adaptation, which is incredibly atmospheric.

Royal Exile | Fiona Mcintosh

pick

The first in the Valisar trilogy of epic fantasy novels. I liked this and enjoyed finding out everyone's back stories for the other two books.

I'm spending some time, or trying to spend some time catching up in my reading journal when #Banksy and #Mittens decide to play/fight. It isn't enough that they get in my face during reading time. Silly boys!!

Curse of the Wolf King: A Beauty and the Beast Retelling | Tessonja Odette

Has anyone read either of these books please? Wondering if they're worth getting. Please and thank you 😊 #recommendation #bookthoughts #reviews #opinions happy reading 📚 ❤📖

hannah-leeloo @TheWolfbehindTheEyes 3y

KristiAhlers I‘ve read Beast and the Beauty and it‘s DARK! But totally different from what you‘d find in normal retelling. 3y

KristiAhlers I liked it for how different it was but this isn‘t going to be for everyone. 3y

hannah-leeloo Thanks for the warning @Katbooklover 3y

KristiAhlers @hannah-leeloo no worries. 3y

Twilight | Stepheni Meyer

Hey littens your opinion please. Are the Twilight books worth reading❓❔❓I've watched the first film but haven't tried the books although have been tempted occasionally. What do you all think? Are they any good? Please and thank you #opinions #reviews #twilight

LibrarianRyan Honestly, not really. There are better vampire books. I get why Twilight is so popular and I have read the first 4 original books, but I didn't love them. If it wasn't for book club I would never have read them. Plus the first 200 pages of New Moon is almost as bad as the first 200 pages of gone with the wind. The difference, GWTW is a great book, the others, not so much. 3y

hannah-leeloo Thank you @LibrarianRyan I've never been keen on the films but was just checking that the books weren't better 3y

LibrarianRyan @hannah-leeloo For me personally, I think the movies are better. They gloss over some of the more cringy or eye rolling stuff. That being said, I have not seen the last 2 movies'. 3y

hannah-leeloo That's still more than me lol @LibrarianRyan 😅 thank you 3y

Catsandbooks I actually enjoy the books! I was I fan when they first came out so my recent reread of the series was a bit of nostalgia. Also I hate the first movie but think the rest of them were good. They're not typical vampire lore, but if you enjoy fantasy and supernatural stuff I think you'll like em. 3y

hannah-leeloo See my normal go to genres are YA, fantasy and fairy tale so I can't decide @Catsandbooks 😅 3y

Catsandbooks @hannah-leeloo I'd say try them. If you don't like it you can always bail. It's not gonna be great literature but they're fun. 3y

hannah-leeloo Fair advice thank you @Catsandbooks 😊 3y

zezeki @Catsandbooks I actually love the first movie and don't like the others. 😅 I feel like the first one had the right amount of darkness, while the others were just too bright, the colours just didn't sit right with me. 3y

zezeki When it comes to books, I love do love them, but they have a lot of flaws. I reread them two years ago as a comfort read, and I was able to enjoy them. If you don't mind love at first sight and teenage angst, and all that cheesy/borderline creepy stuff that come with it, I say go for it. 3y

hannah-leeloo Oh no I'm no good with lovey stuff 🤣🤣 @zezeki 3y

Catsandbooks @zezeki haha I can see that. For me the first movie just felt awkward 3y

wanderinglynn I agree with @LibrarianRyan – there are better vampire and shifter books out there. I picked up the first book when they started to get a lot of attention because I love paranormal/urban fantasy books. But I couldn‘t get through it. It‘s so poorly written, I wanted to take a red pen to it. 3y

Kimberlone I still appreciate the first one and would recommend trying it out if you are interested (my 15 yo self loved it when it first came out), but the rest of the series is unreadable for me as an adult (didn‘t even really like the sequels as a teenager). I did feel obligated to read Midnight Sun (twilight from edward‘s perspective) but found it to be non-essential since it repeats all the events of the first book without adding much new material. 3y

DarkMina The books are good for what they are. I agree with the others who said there are far better vampire/shifter books. I personally thought the movies were garbage. I did only see the first two. 3y

TheLudicReader Twilight is the book I always mock in my Young Adult Lit class because vampires don‘t sparkle, people! There are other reasons, of course, but it‘s hard to not be offended by that. Still, you could read the first book in a couple hours. I couldn‘t get through the rest. 3y

Star Daughter | Shveta Thakrar

This book right here…is the definition of this meme.
But I honestly don‘t listen to reviews at all. I always focus on what my bookish heart tells me I will love 😊😊😊
What are your thoughts on this?

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Ha! I always assume everyone else is wrong on Goodreads. 🤣😂🤣 3y

KathyWheeler Sometimes I‘m very confused by their ratings. I book I love will get average to bad ratings, while a book I‘m not fond of will get 5s. 3y

Karisa 😂 That was me seeing the percentage on Specimen Days. It‘s one of my favorites… but apparently not for others. I‘ll stand by my choice! 😂 3y

Prairiegirl_reading I definitely don‘t go by goodreads. 3y

wanderinglynn I started reading this book a couple of months ago but couldn‘t get into it,so I set it aside. I may give it another go this month. That being said, I take ratings with a grain of salt. Everyone has books they love and don‘t love. There are books I love with low ratings. So what? I still love it regardless of what others think. And there are highly rated books that I panned. That‘s the beauty of books—there are books for every type of reader. 💜 3y

persephone1408 I'm this was also with movies. I LOVE lots of movies that most people think are bad...I have great taste! Its everyone else who's wrong lmao 3y

Ruthiella I enjoy using goodreads for cataloging what I‘ve read, but I pay VERY little attention to the ratings. If you loved it, you loved it and your taste in books cannot be denied! 3y

bthegood It's a win-win for authors - if there are good ratings people pick up the book, if there are not good ratings people pick up the book and assume others are wrong about it 😊 3y

Meet Me in London | Georgia Toffolo

pick

I cannot recommended this book enough! I loved the fashion designing element to it as I‘ve always loved books about fashion, but the will they won‘t they throughout was just perfect, I was engaged the entire way through. The perfect romance novel. I can‘t wait to read the next 3 books in the series
I gave this book 5 stars ✨
