pickAs a person with PTSD from sexual abuse, Tears of Frost portrays the shame and guilt felt by victims for years after. At first I didn't know if I was going to enjoy it as a sequel to Heart of Thorns, but it worked really well and you can tell Bree Barton wrote this as part of her own healing journey. I appreciated her note to the reader at the beginning disclosing the themes of the book as well as how she included numbers to helplines.
Made my #BookSpinBingo list for November! Had to drop it down to 20 books instead of 25 because of school. @TheAromaofBooks
pickLoved this book and how it didn't feel like one of those typical vampire romances.
pickI loved this book and how it introduced me to Desi culture and folklore!
This is my #DoubleSpin for October! Hopefully I can squeeze in enough time to have bingo. @TheAromaofBooks
pickFinished my first #BookSpin for October! Horrid is the first horror novel I‘ve read and can I just say I absolutely loved it and couldn‘t put it down, except for when I needed to sleep before school the next morning. Also this is book 20/25 for 2020. @TheAromaofBooks
Hello Litsy Community! I'm participating in the Autism Speaks Walk and would love it if some of you would donate to my fundraiser! My little Spiderman was diagnosed with Autism last year and I would love to spread more awareness!

pickFinished book 19 for 2020! My goal is to read a total of 25 this year. I honestly had a hard time getting in to Incendiary, but pushing through was definitely worth it! I can't wait for the sequel to come out in 2021!
Met my boyfriend's dad for the first time on Saturday and his stepmom gave me a bunch of books
Finally made my #BookSpinBingo list for October. Excited since this is my first time participating! @TheAromaofBooks
It's been awhile since I've posted. Life has been crazy between school and health complications! But I wanted to share what I received in my OwlCrate box for September. Also I've read 18 books so far this year amongst all this craziness 😊
pickI love Holly Black! She is definitely one of my favorite authors. The Queen of Nothing was a nice conclusion to the Folk of the Air series. I appreciate how she incorporated characters from The Darkest Part of the Forest and Modern Faerie Tales.
Proud of myself for exceeding my goal of reading 20 books in 2019! I had my 5th concussion in July and have some minor cognitive impairment so adjusting back to school was rough and I was afraid I wouldn't reach my reading goal, but I did it!
Since I love Beauty and the Beast retellings, here's book 11.
pickFinished my 10th book for 2019! I'm halfway through my goal of reading 20 books. Love love love the ending to the Caraval series. I just wish a good series never ended.
Completed my first full year of college since Spring 2014. Now time to catch up on my tbr pile!
pickI finished The Wicked King at 2 am last night. I am so mad at Cardan! And now I have to wait until January 7th 2020 for the next book. The anticipation is killing me.
pickSorry for being MIA! The semester has been crazy so far and it's only the 3rd week. Anyway, I finished Throne of Glass last night. I loved it and can't wait till I can read the rest of the series!
1. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
2. Going camping with my family.
3. Cleaning my room.
4. My stuffed animal that looked like my old dog Roxy.
5. My favorite children's book is Go Away, Big Green Monster!

Thank you @RealLifeReading for tagging me!

It was really hard to edit everything in so sorry for the small print.
It's been so cold today! All I've done is sit on my couch and read.
pickFinished book 5 for 2019. I've been reading this book off and on for a year and realized I needed to finish it for wisdom during the season of life I am in.
pickThis book was slow for me at first, but it quickly picked up. Heart of Thorns deals with love, anger, grief and shares the struggle of all women through a fantasy medieval world. Definitely a good read.
P.S. These are my Bookly stats.
1. Fantasy YA
2. Heights
3. Marine Biologist
4. 40
5. Hello!
#friyayintro @howjessreads
UPDATE:
I saw the neurologist today. He wants me to try Physical therapy and is switching up my meds again. He also confirmed that my tremors in my hands are benign and nothing to worry about. Thank you everyone for the advice you guys have given me as well!
1. Pancakes because they are my favorite!
2. Girls of Paper and Fire
3. I'm going to say a rough estimate of 15 states.
4. I don't really collect any books in particular.
5. I am not. I would love to travel internationally one day!

Any other Littens get chronic migraines? If so, what do you do to help get relief from the pain? My usual go-to's of rest, sleep, and heat are no longer effective.
pickI love Holly Black! I have only read her books about the Fae because I love old folklore and how she modernizes it. When I bought The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, I was a little hesitant because it was about Vampires and not the Fae. However, I did not need to worry because Holly Black created a beautiful story and did not disappoint!
P.S. This is the first e-book I have ever finished because I hate e-books usually lol.
I usually go to bed around 10/10:30. I was reading and got to page 200 when I looked at the clock. It is now 1 A.M. I definitely read past my bedtime .
1. Teleport! There are so many places I would love to see and explore.
2. Evermore, Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge, Heart of Thorns, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
3. To find an internship for this summer working with turtles.
4. I don't really binge watch.
#friyayintro @howjessreads
1. Finding out my dad does not have cancer.
2. Going to Outer Banks for summer vacation.
3. Double Doink
4. I love all Littens! Being back on Litsy makes my day brighter.
#hellothursday @wanderinglynn
Just finished Evermore. Time to journey into another world in Heart of Thorns!
Found this old Valentine and it's the best bookmark ever! Also loving Evermore so far!
Just bought these 2 ebooks! Hopefully I'll get to reading them soon!
pickI've really been getting into books where the female protagonist saves herself and this is definitely a good read. I can't wait for the sequel Lady Smoke.
pickKerri Maniscalco is one of my favorite authors. I love her story lines that are influenced by history. The Stalking Jack the Ripper series has become one of my favorites to read.
pickI loved this book! Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairytales and I love to read retellings. This book follows the original French tale so if you aren't familiar with it I would suggest reading the tale first. Other wise this was a fantastic, magical read.
Sorry for being absent for so long Littens! I started college again and got caught up with my first semester back in 2 years. I survived and now I'm happy to be back on Litsy!
I don't think I should ever be left alone in a Barnes and Noble. Oh well more books to fill up the apartment!
Well this should be fun to move! There's more that didn't fit in the picture
pickHave I mentioned that I love Holly Black? I loved this book and can't wait for the sequel to come out in January. One of my favorite parts of this book is how she incorporates characters from her previous books into the plot.
My most anticipated book of the year is Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco. It's the third book to the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and I love it! @GripLitGrl #GLGGIVEAWAY
Everyone keeps recommending this series to me! I would love to start reading it soon!!!! #IronDruidGiveaway @wanderinglynn
