I‘m halfway through King‘s Cage and I‘m loving it so far! I wish I had more time to relax and read but this week has been crazy! Only one more week of a hectic schedule though and then things will start to calm down a bit!

What‘s your reading goal for 2018?
I want to read 107 books this year! That‘s 3 more than I read last year so I think it‘s pretty reasonable! I‘ve already finished one book and I‘m making my way through two more at the moment. Fingers crossed I can get there!

I think I liked this book more than the first one!
Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell were just as wonderful in this book as they were in the first! I loved all the additional characters in this book as well. They really made this book better than the first, I think.
I loved the Vlad Dracula/Vlad the Impaler storyline for this book too. It was something so different and I loved it! The whole book was so dark and creepy and suspenseful!

I absolutely loved this book! Leigh Bardugo has created another masterpiece with a character that many people were already in love with before this book came out.
I thought she did an amazing job crafting Diana along with Alia. She was a great second main character.
I could not stop imagining Gal Gadot doing all the things in this book. She was the perfect Wonder Woman and the Diana in this book was so similar to the one she portrayed.

4.5/5 stars
When the book started I expected to be slightly disappointed. It was slightly weird and highly personal for Helen and had her all across the map. But as the book went on it got better and I totally did not see the ending coming at all. That's what earned it the rating it got.
#bookreview #littleboyblue #mjarlidge #mystery #detective

That was such a great ending to the series.
And I totally thought the ending to the book would be different but it was so satisfying.
I loved all the action in this book and I loved that all the grisha came together in this one. It was so much more fun reading about Alina and Mal when they were with Zoya and Genya and David...

Ada and Corinne have an affliction in their blood that causes an aversion to iron and gives them special abilities. Corinne can makes people see things that aren't there and Ada can make people feel things they weren't previously feeling.
I really liked the characters in this book. Ada and Corinne offset each other so well that neither personality was overwhelming at any time. I loved it.

This was a cute little story about things that happened while Belle was still a "prisoner" in the Beast's castle.
Overall, I liked the book. It was cute and fun and it was nice to see all these characters out of their normal story. I wasn't a huge fan of the way Belle was portrayed throughout the book. I thought she seemed kinda clueless at times and I always considered her such an intelligent character. Other than that I have no complaints.

5/5 stars
Madeleine Roux is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. The perfect combination of creepy, mysterious, and adventure.
Louisa was a fantastic main character, skeptical but curious. The rest of the characters worked so well together to make the book creepy and to keep you guessing.
The story itself was incredibly unique and I can't wait to read the next book!

Series rating: 4.5/5
Solid ending to the series. After the way The Maze Runner series ended I was worried to see how this one would end but other than it being a bit technical it was a much better ending than I expected.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Dashner writes next!

A cute read about the discovery and creation of Narnia. Quirky characters and a fast paced story. We also get a quick look at the creation of the wardrobe for book 2!

It was good but it wasn't great. My only complaint was the main character, Dinah. For the future queen of Wonderland she had a tendency to be too naive and trusting and she failed to see the big picture a few times.
Other than that I loved it. I loved the world and the obvious Wonderland theme to it!

Definitely not the best book in the series but I still enjoyed it. The crime was so different from the other books in the series so far which really helped.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I've been in a reading slump lately so I figured I should start reading something I know I can finish in one sitting!
I'm past the Negan days in the comics but the last one ended with such a weird twist I just need to know what happens next! Who else reads the comics?

Which book should I read next?
Ruin and Rising, In the Afterlight, or The Last Magician?
I've been having a hard time deciding what to read lately so I was wondering what you guys thought...

What are you currently reading?
I started Liar Liar by MJ Arlidge the other day and I'm really enjoying it so far! It's been a lot more tame than the other books in the series up to this point, the crime isn't as unusual as some of the others Arlidge has come up with.

Loved this book so much more than the first one! The characters have definitely grown on my since the first book and I loved some of the additions to this book! I wish some of the characters in this book were coming back in the next one but it doesn't sound like they are. We did get another great addition at the end though that I'm excited about!

I'm sitting in a lawn chair, half in the sun and half out, reading Order of the Phoenix! I also plan on posting up on the patio in a little bit to read outside with the yankee game playing through the window ☺️

I'm really glad I agreed to receive a copy of this book to review!
I absolutely loved the world created in this book. The magic and the way magic is used is totally unique. I loved the idea of a school of magic (it really did have some HP vibes) and I loved the characters! Ivy kinda reminded me of a mix between Hermione and Luna which made her totally awesome in my opinion.
It was an action packed and fun filled read!

I posted a review of Gathering Deep by Lisa Maxwell on my blog!
I don't recommend reading it if you haven't read the first book, Sweet Unrest ...
Feel free to check it out though!

You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death.

I received this ARC in the mail last week and just started it last night!
I'm excited to see what it's all about! The box they put together was just so cute and so thoughtful!

2.5/5 🌟
I was incredibly disappointed with this book .... there were some super specific reasons why I didn't like it, one of them was the insta love. I found it slightly creepy in this case. The other reason I won't give due to spoilers but I mentioned it on goodreads if you want to read that review. Feel free to add me on goodreads too (Nicole Alycia)

Loved loved loved this book!
I loved the way it was written, like you're actually reading a compiled file of everything that happened. It was just so cool. The characters kept the story going but honestly, it was the way the book was written that made it so good.
I thought the overall story was very cool, original in its own way.
Definitely a good and quick read!

It was kinda weird at the beginning. All the non circus parts were totally out there.
But the circus parts were amazing! I loved reading about the circus so much! It makes me want to go to a circus like this! It was all so... magical.
Continued in comments... I want to rant about the person who wrote the blurb on the back.

I absolutely loved this book!!!!!
America was an amazing character. I felt connected to her the entire book. And her and Maxon are adorable together! They're so perfect for each other!
That being said, I was so mad when Aspen came back! I just wanted America and Maxon to have their happily ever after and for him to be forgotten. I knew that wasn't going to happen but a girl can dream.

I needed a break from reading RoseBlood so I picked up Order of the Phoenix instead. I've been having a hard time focusing on reading so I decided I needed a book that I've already read before. I've had a lot of stuff going on and I need a break.

My reading progress has slowed so much over the last week that I've barley read half of this book in that time frame. I've had so much going on and I cant focus on reading which sucks because this is how I calm myself down ... hopefully I'll be able to get some reading done on my break at work today.

Yet another fun and lighthearted book from Rick Riordan.
The characters in this book were absolutely fantastic. I loved the storyline and the gods were so interesting to read about! They were so different from his other books, they were far more comical in my opinion and I enjoyed them!

For the most part I really enjoyed this book. I thought the storyline was really interesting and I liked reading something so unique.
I wasn't a huge fan of our main character. She started off as a badass. But then you start to see her slipping. She's losing focus on her mission and I thought it took away from the ending of the book. Because the badass who was going to kill Hitler was now the girl who might not actually pull the trigger.

When I started this and found out it was going to be about Thomas and Teresa I was super nervous because I was so disappointed by The Death Cure ....
This was such a turn around from the last book.
I enjoyed watching Thomas and Teresa grow up. I still hate Teresa, she's so awful!
It was cool getting inside information on how WICKED came. Everything that went on behind the scenes, who knew who before the Maze... all of it was cool to read about.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was so convinced I figured out who the murderer was and I even had a second suspect just in case and I was completely wrong again. I am going to keep reading her books until I can actually figure out whodunnit! It will happen one of these times!
This ended up being quite a good book. It talked you in circles sometimes but I think that was to throw you off the scent of the real killer. Another excellently executed plot
#agathachristie

Does anyone else love this book series?
I like the book series way more than the show, although I do still enjoy the show.
I just wish we could have finished the books before the show ended. I'm starting to wonder if Martin is ever going to publish the last 2 books so we know how he wrapped everything up.... maybe one day ...

So I'm around 100 pages into this book and it is so weird so far.
There hasn't been much explain about the "phantom" that makes sense and he along with our female MC, Rune, have these special musical powers .... I'm not sure how I feel about it so far.

5/5
This is the story of how a queen lost her heart.
This story follows Catherine Pinkerton, the favorite of the King of Hearts. But she doesn't want to be queen, she wants to open a bakery. She was such an amazing main character!
Some parts were incredibly predictable but she took those parts and expanded on them so you didn't feel like the story was being ruined by them.
Such an amazing book!

I really enjoyed this series although I still don't get everyone's obsession with Kaz. He's a good characters but I don't think he's amazing by any stretch of the imagination. I thought there were better characters in the series for sure.

Holy wow this book was awesome! I was hooked right from the get go as Scarlett and Tella are trying to escape from their abusive father, both thinking they know they best way. And then there's Caraval ...
Caraval was just as magical and spectacular as you would expect it to be! And the characters were perfect! I didn't expect Scarlett to grow on me the way she did but she ended up being a much better character than I expected!
