Honestly, her mom's new scheme was really funny. I did not expect shucked oyster personalized pearl jewelry! And book recommendations sort of did make a smart plan

Titanic Survivors Book Club | Timothy Schaffert

I thought this was really clever. Cover was gorgeous. Had a lot of tidbits of life at that time. Meditation on "surviving" the Titanic is very interesting to me considering all the stories of "I could have been there" on 9/11

Omg can someone please read all of these so we can talk about it! Next book comes out in June!

Meshell1313 I‘m down! 🙋🏼‍♀️Armentrout is one of my favs! I‘ve read alllllll her books! 1mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 Yes! I just took out one of her other series books to start because I really don't know where to go after all of these. What would you suggest? 1mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 and what are you thinking about for POBAb? What is up with Callum? 1mo

Meshell1313 @emz711 I loved the Lux series. Maybe go that route next? 4w
Meshell1313 @emz711 ok my hopes is that Callum isn‘t really evil and will maybe help his sister defeat Kolis? I‘m still conflicted about him. I cannot wait for the next book to be with Poppy and Casteel again! What do you think? 4w
emz711 @Meshell1313 that's what I hope too but idk! Is he working for someone else? 2w

It's my second time through the series and I still love Alucard the best!

TieDyeDude I just started this for the first time. I was surprised to realize it's been almost 3 years since I read A Darker Shade. I had to find a synopsis online to refresh my memory. 11mo
emz711 @TieDyeDude it's so fun. And then the next round of what I guess will be a trilogy is really good too 11mo

A big ol' yes to these 2 chunks. Both were waiting for me at the library. Decided to go with Sera #2 instead of poppy #3. I'm going to end up reading them in a weird order but whatever. Loving these series

Loved it! Double twist at the end? Great. I don't normally like urban fantasy but I'm enjoying and can't wait for the acotar crossover.

I've been thinking about my favorite romantasy books now that I've gotten into it.
Here we go
1. Gothikana by runyx
2. Any of Jennifer Armentrout's book series
3. Sarah j Maas's ACOTAR and crescent City
4. Emily mcintre's never after series
5. Steffanie Holmes' nevermore bookshop series

blurb

Here we go! 800 pages and yet here I am already half way through on one day.

I wouldn't have done this series had I not heard about the cross over with acotar.

Do you ever have an author that you wanted to read their books and yet never have? Now I feel like I should just never read their books because otherwise I'll be disappointed if I start to read them and don't like them.

A happy little flop 😀

Decided I'm here for the blood and ash series and the flesh and fire series. Of course then I thought this book was in the flesh and fire series since.... It's literally what it's called but how silly of me to think that.

Jennifer Armentrout > Rebecca Yarros

ladym30 You are not alone. I thought the same!😊 12mo
emz711 @ladym30 I'm liking f&f series more so far 12mo
ladym30 @emz711 That is great! Enjoy! 12mo
emz711 @ladym30 did you see she announced the next one in f&f? And it's "born in blood and ash" 12mo
ladym30 @emz711 I did not, but I will definitely check into it. Thanks!🌻 12mo

1. My kids getting over pink eye
2. Finding a good audiobook with a narrator I like
3. Going to another town library to pay for their hoopla access to hopefully get to use their service without getting a daily limit hit.
4. Got to walk 2 days to pick up my son from school
5. Transitioning to a new job

AmandaBlaze @emz711 I read pretty quickly, but there are some that have been renewed several times. A lot of them are a backlog of when I had bronchitis and couldn't do anything, including reading. I'm all better now and ready to dive in. 13mo

RamsFan1963 I found The Atlas Complex pretty disappointing, so I'd read Where the Dark Stands Still first. 13mo
emz711 @vonnie862 @Captivatedbybooks judging books by their covers?! ... I do the same though 13mo
emz711 @RamsFan1963 I didn't listen. Doing Atlas complex so I can finish the trilogy. Yeah I've heard people don't like the end. I feel like it's such a different "magical" book. So cerebral kind of? 13mo

A Shadow in the Ember | Jennifer L. Armentrout

Starting a new book between the mess and nap time.
But I didn't realize that the Flesh and Fire series connects to the Blood and Ash series?
I didn't like blood and ash so much so should I try this one or not bother?

Omg when is the Fall of Ruin and Wrath next one coming out? I'm so ready

Meshell1313 Oh yeah! Prob in the fall! But I‘m the next Flesh and Fire book is coming in May! Love it! ❤️ 13mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 what's your favorite book of hers? 13mo

emz711 @Meshell1313 I get this weird feeling that fall of ruin and wrath are in the same universe? Even though nothing says that 13mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 I'm enjoying this one so far but they have a similar story to blood and ash and I don't know if that was intentional 13mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 oooo I really liked it! 13mo
Meshell1313 @emz711 ooh yay! And you are right about how many of her books cross over! It‘s great! Def check out Lux series when you get through these series‘! 13mo
