This book published September 30 and I haven‘t read it yet. I‘ve had an ARC for over a month and just didn‘t get to it. I feel bad when I don‘t read ARCs before they publish but I also want to be present in real life and not miss out on what is happening right in front of me. 🤍 do you read ARCs?

So good!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
High fantasy. Mystery. Robots. Mercenary. Kings. Conspiracy. So good.

Getting back to this one. I set it down because I didn‘t finish it in time to continue with my reading group. I was so sad I didn‘t even want to look at it.
Anyway, it‘s good and I just can‘t quit. Great author. great story build. 💗 here we go.

Please read it. Let me know what you think.

I liked this one.

I also really dislike the character limitation on this app. I hardly post here for that reason. I hate cutting down what I‘ve written.

It's been slow going so far but I won't say I'm not enjoying it. Kind of in the middle of the road for me, so far. Hoping it'll pick up soon.

Photo prompt for June on IG, figured it'd be fun to do here too. 🙂 By @literally.shelved on IG

Does anyone have any photo challenges they would be willing to share? I'm kind of in a rut for book photography.

Interesting read so far. It's weird, yet fun and quirky. The MC kind of bugs me but I have to remember that she's only 12 and her actions make sense in that regard. 💐

This book has been EPIC! 35% in (800 total pages) and I wish I had more time to devote to this story! It's a great story, wonderful world building, though character focused, and it does a wonderful job of giving all the sides of the bubbling situation. There is no clear villain, per se, more along the lines of morally grey. I appreciate that. I hate when books basically say "hate this character, love this one." ??????

Currently Reading this book -- and it's not standing up to book 1. That was a great book! I'm 30% into this one and still waiting for something to happen. It seems like there's more mystery involved in this story compared to the first. I am not a fan.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I started this a few days ago and I'm enjoying it so far! What are you reading?

I've gone through a terrible reading slump since moving and I don't think I'm entirely out of it. But here goes nothing...

Starting this one today - got the library book late last night or I would have started sooner. Book group discussion today/tomorrow! 😬
#latetotheparty

Just finished this one -- got it as an ARC and am blatantly late in reading it -- but it was good!

I haven't been reading because I'm in the middle of a big move, but this is my "current read." It's really good and I wish I had the time to devote to it! It's been over a week since I've opened a book.

We are in the middle of moving over state lines and I'm too nervous to read a hardcover (I'm afraid I'll forget the dust jacket since I remove it when I read). Since this book (and book 2 by Nicholas Eames) is the only paperback I have, I'm going to start it. ⚔️
Have you read it? What did you think?

Bookoutlet.com purchase showed up!

Starting this today as a buddy read! Have you read it yet?

Better late than never, I hope! I completely forgot about this book in my #netgalley #arc section and it publishes September 3! Oops! Gotta get on it!

This book is SO GOOD!

Well, folks, I started BOTM this month and this was my pick! I also made a goal for myself that when I get books through #botm I have to read at least one of those books that month (you can add-on books and buy multiple a month, though I'm sure most of you know that). This month I got 2 and this is one of them! Starting it today. 👒

Even if it's only a couple of pages, I try to read a bit of this every day. It has been so good for my heart and soul and mind. I'm really loving this!

Took a break from this behemoth of a book (after 28 pages) to finish a NetGalley read. Now I'm hoping to get back to this! It's so big, though, I'm afraid it will take me ages to read it.

This book was fantastic! It was such an interesting perspective on WWII! I love HF and it seems like all historical fiction is revolving around WWII (there have been other wars, authors, come on!). This one centers around pigeon farmers who are infiltrated into the war effort! Did you know homing pigeons were used during the war? I didn't! And I loved that the author used real facts to go with his fictional story!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Today's bookmail! I won the book on the right through Goodreads, and bought Reflecting God through Abebooks.com for $3.99 shipped! I need to get back into reading nonfiction. I have an entire shelf of lovely books that are gathering dust. 💔
Have you read anything by either of these authors?

The end to a busy week/weekend brought on amazing bookmail today! Have you read either of these? I won The Perfect Wife by JP Delaney through a Goodreads giveaway and Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings was a purchase for an Instagram book club!
Also, my dented water bottle. 😰

I got this book as an ARC long ago and the publication date came and went... Finally starting it now. #fail at all things #NetGalley right now...

My cousin and I have been buddy reading the HP series (my first time reading them) and he's already 37 chapters into this one! Yikes! Anyway, I'm starting this today!

Has anyone read this one? I just got it from the library and it doesn't have the best reviews on Goodreads... Not sure I should bother..

Here goes nothin'. Sometimes being part of a book club is a blessing and a curse. Have you read this one yet? What did you think?

I got this book (along with the box set) for my birthday in March and I'm finally reading it. So far the writing is nice but the storyline isn't very exciting... I hope it'll pick up.

I figured the best way to follow up a GREAT read #WARBREAKER by Brandon Sanderson - was to pick a completely different genre. Haha! The book after the 5⭐ read is always a fail because nothing can follow that up! I'm enjoying this so far. It's shorter and a dual POV story. It's rather sweet!

Just over 100 pages left in this book! I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
P. S. Did anyone else know where is a book 2?! About Nightblood??? I'm dead.
Also, Mulan II in the background. #thefirstwasbetter

This was my post this morning for my Bookstagram! Just thought I'd share! Follow me there @bg_reads
💗

I gave this one 3⭐
I just wasn't a fan. I went more in depth on Goodreads so you can check out my review there or on Instagram at www.instagram.com/bg_reads
I'd put it here but there's a character limit. And that stinks.

So far this book hasn't pulled me in.. granted I'm only 5% in but it's really not making me want to continue. Pretty boring. I hope it perks up.
I got a #netgalley ARC a few weeks ago and I'm finally starting it! 🤞🏻 I hope I don't regret requesting it.

Books & book sales make me so happy.
Finding a new-to-me author: game, set, match.
Brandon Sanderson might be an author I just HAVE to buy. You know, they come out with a new book, and it doesn't even matter what it's about, you just know it's going to be good and you just need to buy it.
STEELHEART was only $8 on Amazon (hardcover) and I just couldn't withstand it anymore. I don't regret buying it.
💟

BORING! SLOW. DEPRESSING. DNF.

Plot twist in the first chapter, folks! I'm really enjoying this so far!

I'm finally starting this today! I got a copy for my mom for Mother's Day (and a copy for myself) and I'm finally starting it!
I've never read an entire Sanderson book, so this will be my first! Has anyone read anything by Sanderson? Tell me how you liked it!
💫🌴🌻

Whet a book! I think I enjoyed it! One character battles depression quite extensively and at the risk of sounding unsympathetic, it was overdone. I got so tired of his whiney mentality and his "woe is me's". Rather than fixing the problem, he wallowed! Other than that, I really liked this one!

Oh mylanta! Could Dill be more of a whiner? I don't think so! He's wallowing in self pity and just doesn't want (refuses, rather) to get himself out of it. Ugh!
*Chucks book at wall*

I have an entire shelf of nonfiction that I haven't touched in months. I really need to get through them and not just buy them! 🙊
I'm trying to read a chapter a day, and so far this is a lovely and fast read. ♡

This book is phenomenal so far! I'm really enjoying it!

I just don't know about this one. It's moving so slowly and it's so sad. The writing is so good, but I just don't like books like this.
Has anyone else read it? What did you think?
