I love the quote that Freya says "I am always surprised to discover that when the world seems darkest, there exists the greatest opportunity for light." This was on page 248. There was another qoute I liked but I forgot to mark it about playing cards. This book is one of my favorites for this year. Wish it was January already so I can see what happens next

This is my tentative tbr pile for this month with Carry On and City of Brass being my first reads this month. I also uploaded a booktube video on this pile

Got a chance to meet Melanie Benjamin tonight and it was a treat. Cant wait to read more from her since she writes interesting historical fiction. This year will be my year to not only expand my reading horizons but to hopefully meet authors.

This will be my first book for February and hopefully will help me with my reading challenges this year. Next month I'll be doing #Bookolopy in a FB group (We Be Bookn) that hopefully will expand my reading horizons

Finished this book for #bookchallengebyerin10 for my Newberry Award prompt. I love how the story had different stories tied into it plus the illustrations were beautiful. I've already checked out another book by the author. I love fairy tales and I want to branch out of my comfort zone this year. I want to learn more Chinese stories since I have family who live there.

This is my New Years plan. Starting this book for the first book of 2019! Drinking a spiced chai tea

Thank you @TheDaysGoBy for my #Fallingforfallswap box. Cant wait to read Cursed and The Wonder of all things. The notebook and journal will help my writing since sometimes I don't know how to organize my writing. Hopefully bringing them along with me on my long cruise in 43 days. Love the owl mug and might make the cinnamon roll tomorrow for breakfast. The chocolate leaf was yummy too. Thanks again

Finished #12inTwo and halfway in #24in48. Favorite book so far has been Roseblood since I love The Phantom of the Opera. Probably going to take a break for an hour then go to some physical books

Doing the #12intwo plus a #24in48 for a fb group. Have listened to this book for a total of 5 hours, 30 minutes. So far it's really good. Taking a break then I'll come back to it

Getting my books ready for next months Fall into your TBR pile on fb #Webebookn. We pick a fall word and picks books with the letters of the word. My initial goal is the word pumpkin but if I'm adventurous I'm going to try to hit the words pumpkin spice latte

Some of my stack for both #Deweys24hourreadathon and #Hookedonbooks24hourreadathon (group on #goodreads)
Also have some audio books and ebooks. Happy reading everyone

Reading this for #popsugarbookchallenge as next in series. I loved this book and Howls Moving Castle which is the first book in the series. Loved her writing. 5 out of 5 🌟

First book in the Harry Hole series. It was easy to read with the short chapters and lots of description of Australia. Using this for the Norwegian Noir prompt for #Popsugarbookchallenge. Going to read more from this author this year

This was one of my last books for 2017 and I really enjoyed it

Finished this 161 page book just now. The language was hard to get into but I really liked the middle and ending of the book. Using this for my c selection in the #Alphabetsoupchallenge, #AtoZ, as well as my book set at sea prompt for #Popsugarbookchallenge.

Can't sleep so reorganizing some library books for my reading challenges. This is the graphic novels for the 11th Annual Graphic novel and magna challenge on Facebook. There are a total of 26 but I have another book coming soon #Graphicnovel #Manga #readingchallenges

Really enjoyed this book in the Elemental Magic series. 4 out of 5🌟

Read this for some reading challenges and enjoyed it. Will see if she does anymore books 4 out of 5 🌟

First true crime book and I enjoyed it. One book down for #Frightfall
4 out 5 🌟

Just finished this one and I enjoyed it. I love this series by Lackey and hope she writes more of it. Would recommend to read this after reading Elementary Magic since some of the stories seemed like a continuation of the stories in that book.

Did the audio version of this book and it was interesting. At first didn't like the main character but she grew on me. Trying to get the second book from the library so I can find out about the characters. Give it a 4 star rating because of the many details.

Nice cozy mystery set in Seattle which is on my bucket list to visit. Love to try the recipes at the end of the book. Working on the second one for the series #HSREADATHON

Finished volume 17, 18, and 19 of the series. 4 out 5 🌟 #HSREADATHON

Really enjoyed this book and hope there is more books coming in the series. This one is a modern twist of my favorite book (Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen) and I think it does it justice (Felt let down with Eligible last year)

Easy read and I was going through all the emotions while reading it. #MrDarcylove #currentread #slaythatseries #readingchallenges #Shadowloungereadathon

Since I really enjoyed The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher I decided to find more from her. So using these three books for #slaythatseriesreadathon and #Shadowloungemonthlyreadathon. Still getting through Snow Child for #Litsybookclub.

Here is one of my stacks for #slaythatseriesreadathon. Found the rest of the Vampire Knights series just missing the novels but one hasn't been translated to English yet. Using this for this month challenge for #ayearathon on books translated. Also doing the #Shadowloungemonthlyreadathon

Really enjoyed this book and this page really hit me. Forgiveness is key to life. The author's family and neighbors went through so much during this book but they are willing to forgive which shows they have heart. Would recommend this book. #Traveltheworld #Worldread

Been looking forward to read these. Got the first 5 books in the series now just missing 'The October Horse' and 'Anthony and Cleopatra'. Love library sales got 16 books for $12

The last book in the Heroes of Olympus series which deals with Roman and Greek mythology. This one also leads into his new series 'The Trials of Apollo' using it for my #popsugar2017 challenge. 4.5 rating

It was an interesting book that at first was hard for me to read but in the end was great. Not sure yet which one of my challenges to put this book in. It was on #TOB2016 list and other award lists. It was based mostly in Russia during the Nazi era with different view points. Would like to read more stories from this author
