⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Totally worth staying up until midnight to finish this. I love the format of these books, and I love the story. I also love the snark of all the characters. It was fun to see Ezra and Kady again, even if it is just briefly. I imagine they'll play a larger role in the third one, along with Nik and Hanna, and whatever new couple we are introduced to. Same formula as Starbound😄

A little bedtime reading. I like how the story is slowly unfolding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had to shut off the history nerd side of myself, but I really enjoyed this one? Funny and quirky, an interesting "what if" look at history.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Still not sure how I feel about this. Obviously, the medium doesn't lend itself to lots of character development, which is unfortunately what I enjoy the most about the rest of the Harry Potter series. I did like Part Two better than the first half.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow, quite an ending. Though, being from Washington state, the whole "American student involved in a murder scandal in Italy" thing felt a little like déjà vu.

Started this last night, and so far I'm enjoying it. Not surprising, since I've enjoyed all my other #owlcrate books I've read so far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Late night finish, and I have to be up early tomorrow, but this was worth it. 😍 Fabulous ending to one of my favorite series.

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Such a great series!!!😍 8y

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Decent book, though really predictable. I guessed every "twist" they threw at us. The MC was annoying, which I feel has been a theme in my YA books lately. I did like it enough to check out the next one though. BL, LB was a reread and a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 star read. Again?

I've started to eat like Blue😄 I'm really enjoying my reread of this series, and can't wait to finally read The Raven King.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 The concept was intriguing, but the execution wasn't quite there, so the set-up to Celestine becoming Flawed felt a little contrived. The second half was much better though, and a pretty good look at how we treat people based on rather superficial reasons.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ❤️ Ronan Lynch. I think I liked this one even more than the first time I read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed this one, although the end was a little 😒 Intrigued to see where the story goes.

Clearly, these producers are morons. I have an aunt who's only 6 years older than I am, so this sounds totally normal to me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wasn't sure if I would like this one, as I was less than impressed with Shadow and Bone. But I was pleasantly surprised, and really enjoyed this book. And that ending! Can't wait for the second.

JusttoReview Currently reading this, about 50% in. I kept seeing it on here and Instagram and picked it up without reading what it was about. So far so good! It's infiltrating my dreams though, last nights I was picking locks. 😳 8y
laurel_langworthy @Sally_lovesbooks These was an IG rec for me, too. I suppose worse books could pop up in your dreams😆 I always have to make sure I read something else before bed if I'm reading something kinda scary. 8y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stayed up past my bedtime to finish this tonight. I enjoyed it, aside from 1 part that made me want to stop reading.

So, I've gone from not understanding why Lydia is an outsider, to thinking "Well, maybe people don't like you because you're a snob and kinda mean." Dill has some legit concerns, and she just totally ignores them. The boys are making this book for me though.

Only 40 pages in, so maybe it becomes clearer, but Lydia confuses me. She reads more like Bianca Stratford than Kat (10 Things I hate about you, for those that don't speak movie), so I don't really understand why she's an outsider. And the boys make me sad😔

JusttoReview Just keep reading! You'll understand Lydia soon. And why those three work so well together. Such a great story. 🐍👑 9y
laurel_langworthy Thanks @Sally_lovesbooks I've heard such good reviews for it, so I'm definitely gonna keep going😄 9y

My summer reading bag from an IG photo challenge. Currently rereading The Raven Boys. I really want to read The Raven King, so I need to get through my reread of the rest of them!

AliceInWonderLibrary That bag! 💜💜💜 9y
Gulfskye I loved The Raven Boys so much. I still have to read the rest of the series. 9y
JusttoReview I just got this bag in my mail today!! So bummed I missed the OwlCrate box it came in, happy I was able to purchase separately. 🤓 9y
laurel_langworthy @Sally_lovesbooks It's such a fantastic bag, isn't it?! This was my first Owlcrate, and I've been obsessed ever since! They really do a great job of putting together an awesome box each month. 9y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕 I don't even know what to say about this one. I'm sad it's over, and I don't know how I'll make it until the next one comes out!

Waiting room reading earlier this morning while one of my kiddos had tubes put in her ears. I've got really high hopes for this one, after all the positive reviews I've seen!

Heyporkchop I hope you love it and the tubes go well!!! 9y
laurel_langworthy @Heyporkchop Thanks! She seems to be doing great, and can hear again, which is awesome😄 I'm loving it so far, though there's a certain character I loved in the first that I kinda want to punch in the face this time around😳 9y
KellyHerself I need to move this series up in my reading queue. I hope your baby feels better! 9y
laurel_langworthy Thanks @KellyInLA she's doing much better:) You really should read these, they're fantastic. I really like her Throne of Glass series as well. 9y

Camping weekends mean I get a lot of reading done on the drive😄 Really enjoyed this dystopian trilogy, though there were a few things I would have liked to know more about.

Really enjoyed this one. Mark Watney is hilarious, and since I watched the movie first, Matt Damon narrated in my head the entire time😄⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book has been slow-going (kinda like the movie), but so far I am really enjoying it.
