What are you currently reading?

It has a dragon on the cover, and its about dragons. Of course I am reading this. From what I was told it’s Red Rising meets Game of Thrones, which is also a good combination and I am enjoying it so far.

In my quest to read the Percy Jackson series for the upcoming Disneyplus series, and I am loving it so far. Definitely better than the movies.

What did you recently finish reading?

This was a very nice retelling of Cinderella. While unpacking the mythos of Cinderella and learning more about the real story of Cinderella and how it affected the young girls of Lille. It had a nice Handmaid’s Tale vibe from it.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I have put this on my TBR for far to long and no more excuses. I recently bought both Jade City and Jade War, and I will hopefully read them both.

Okay, so the moment I found out about the Disneyplus series, I bought the box set. My only experience with Percy Jackson was the movies unfortunately, but so far I am enjoying this, and hopefully I will read the spin off series as well.

This had me at dragons. I picked this book up back in February and this is a an epic high fantasy, with some great world building so far.

What did you recently finish reading?

This is a graphic novel which deals with aliens and immigration, which also feels very timely right now. This was also sitting on my shelf for a long time, and it really is a great one. I have read Nnedi Okorafor books before, and it still has that great world building and characters.

Going into the mind of N.K. Jemisin again, with a nice sci fi story set in New York, in which a group of seemingly ordinary people who have to work together. Because it’s an N.K Jemisin it has great characters, snappy dialogue and good world building.

What do you think you’ll read next?

This just came in a few days ago, and I am dying to read this, and the premise looks amazing.

I picked this up back in January, and it has been on my backlist for a while now. I met the author back in January at a book event, and was very intrigued by the premise.

What are you currently reading?

Yes, I am diving right back in shadow hunter world and I am enjoying The Infernal Devices a lot more than The Mortal Instruments, and I could see why Tessa, Will and Jem are amazing characters, and it really has a chance to see the shadow hunter world more in depth.

I am currently listening to the audiobook, and it is amazing. I already read this series, but hearing the voices it reminds me of those old radio serials with an amazing voice cast.

What did you recently finish reading?

As a fan of both Clone Wars and Rebels, I became a fan of Ahsoka Tano. This book takes place after Clone Wars and before Rebels, and it really does a good job at fleshing out her character, and dealing with the events after Revenge of the Sith.

This was a very unique take on Arthurian Legend, and I like that it focused on Guinevere, and her trying to protect Arthur, and I really enjoyed it, and seeing a lot of references to the original King Arthur tale.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I read Sky Without Stars, and I loved it. A great retelling of Les Mis, set in space, which now deals with the characters, and a rebellion. I am very excited to read the sequel.

What are you currently reader?

So far, I am really enjoying this book. It has a great mix of fantasy with Latinx culture. It deals with a thief and a prince who accidentally unleash a darkness and now have to work together.  It also has some great world building as well.

What did you recently finish reading?

Oh scud, this book was amazing. Brandon Sanderson did it again. I loved how expansive the world became, and learning more about the conflict and more alien species, and still loving Spensa.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Ah yes, a King Arthur retelling, and this time it from Guinevere’s POV. I am a fan of Kiersten White, mainly the And I Darken series, and I also really enjoyed Slayer. So I am excited to read her take on Arthurian legend.

I heard a lot good things about this book, and I am also on an assassin kick, and if any book has an assassin in it, I am in. It also has a great premise sort of lick a dystopian fantasy.

What did you recently finish reading?

Wow, this book. This was a beast of a book and I ejoyed every minute of it. I kinda call it the Arya spin off I always wanted. And Sal is one of my favorite characters,  and the fact that it is in first person., really gives it a kick and reading a lot of her snark.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Skyward was one of my favorite reads of last year, so of course I was very excited to read this one, and see what happens next because Skyward had a killer ending.

What are you currently reading?

A recently went to an author talk by this author, and the book kinda caught my attention. There is a lot of Handmaid’s Tale vibes to this story, in which girls are told that they have power “to lure grown men from their beds”, and when they are 16, the girls are banished to the woods to release their magic and return “purified”. I am really enjoying it so far.

What did you recently finish?

This is a unique take on the Buffyverse, sort of from the perspective of the Watchers Academy. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great first book, and I really enjoyed Nina as a new character in the Buffyverse.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I am a fan of the Witcher video games, and also very excited about the series on Netflix, so I finally decided to start reading books, that the game is based on. I have played so many hours of the Witcher 3 and I haven’t finished yet, mainly because I get lost in side quests.

In my quest to read the Grisha books, other than the Six of Crows duology, I have decided to finally read the Shadow and Bone trilogy. I recently re-read Shadow and Bone, and have decided to finish the Netflix series, thanks to the upcoming Netflix series.

What are you currently reading?

A Les-Mis retelling set in space, of course I will want to read it, and I am enjoying it so far. It was some great world building and the characters are amazing.

Saga Vol. 6 

Earlier this year I started reading graphic novels, and I started reading Saga again and I am loving it. The story just keeps taking a lot of twists and turns, and I am just along for the ride.

What did you recently finish?

Ashley Poston has done it again. She made a fairy tale retelling set in a Sci Fi convention and made it awesome. I love who she expanded the world of Geekerella.

Another great Asian inspired fantasy. While the beginning of the book, starts off slow, it really picks up and I couldn’t put it down. So much suspense I just had to keep reading.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I loved Want, and Cindy Pon, is starting to become one of my favorite authors. I felt the wait was very long in-between books and I want to know how this ends.

What are you currently reading?

Late last year I finally decided to enter the Shadowhunter world and started reading The Mortal Instruments, the first three books anyway, and I really enjoyed them so far and finally seeing what the hype is about.

I am currently loving it so far, and I see why people love Jem so much, and it also gives us another glimpse in the Shadowhunter world.

What did you recently finish reading?

I really loved this book. The world is amazing, and I love the romance between the characters.  A very well written Asian inspired fantasy dealing with concubines to the Demon King.

After reading the first volume of Papergirls, I can honestly say that I am a fan of Brian K. Vaughn. I would sort of describe it as a sort of girl version of Stranger Things, while also maybe dealing with time travel. I really want to keep reading this series.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I bought this book during my Amazon gift card haul because I was very intrigued by the premise, especially since I am a fan of twisted fairy tales.

I heard so many good things about this book, and it has been on my TBR for a while. I am really enjoying it so far. This book is very hard science fiction, in a good way. It is about the first contact with aliens and everything else that follows.

What did you recently finish?

I finally broke down (again) and starting to read Cassandra Clare. I read the first book before many years ago, and I decided to give her another shot. I really enjoyed reading, and it had some good world building so far. I will now plan on the reading the rest of the Shadowhunter books to prepare for Queen of Air and Darkness coming out in December

This was a book, that I saw at the library and picked it up right away, and I really enjoyed. I read Beth Revis other work Across the Universe a couple years back. This deals with necromancy and a plague that is happening in Nedra’s town. Very enjoyable, will have the review up by Friday.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I heard so many great things about this book, and the author herself. The premise already intrigued me, a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.

This is a Japanese inspired fantasy novel, that Melanie@Meltotheany won’t stop shutting up about. (If you are reading this Melanie, than I am sorry, lol). I was also glad I saw this also at the library, and grabbed it immediately. I never read anything by Julie Kagawa, even though The Iron King, was on my TBR for a long time now.

What are you currently reading?

Last year I read, All Rights Reserved and I really enjoyed reading it. It was about a world in which every word is copyrighted, so speaking will cost you. A young girl named Speth, decided not to speak and sparked a revolution. So far the sequel expands heavily on its world and its premise and I am enjoying it.

This is a graphic novel that I always wanted to read. I am a fan of Brian K. Vaughan’s writing mainly Saga, and this is a post apocalyptic world in which all men are dead and there is only one.

What did you recently finish?

After years of putting it off, I finally tasted the Mark Lawrence Kool-Aid, and loved it. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had everything I need in a dark high fantasy, with murder and stabby, stab. Sort of like if nuns were also killer assassins. I can’t to see where this story ends up. Thank you Meltotheany

This is the second book I read by Holly Black. While I did enjoy the book, I did feel that the characters didn’t stick with me like they did in The Cruel Prince.

What do you think you’ll read next?

The YA crossover event of the century. Ever since this book was announced, it was on my TBR. I recently saw them at Boston Book Festival, and they are awesome people. Now I just want to know if it’s a Silvera ending or an Albertali ending.

This is another YA contemporary dealing with police brutality, but also issues involving mental health. I also meet the author at Boston Book Festival, and hearing him talk about the book, made me want to go and pick it up.
