You haven't read Fire and Bitterblue yet? O_O
ReplyDeleteThey're really good. I thought Bitterblue read a bit younger than the previous two, but that might be because Bitterblue is still so young herself. The first half reads a bit like the beginning of Aladdin, when Jasmine disguises herself to mingle with the people. Oh, and two perfect kissing scenes that I have memorised. Just in case you weren't excited about starting it yet.
I LOVE the UK cover of If You Find Me. So different than the US version. I absolutely adored that book as I told you on Twitter earlier today. Oh and Ginger is helping me deal with my seriously insane dog phobia. Starglass looks beautiful. So excited to read that one when I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading <3
Ah, Bitterblue. <3 perfect book. Ohh. The Year of Shadows is AMAZING! :) Enjoy it all. <3
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Starglass since I love sci-fi!
ReplyDeleteAnd hi Ginger! She's so adorable!!
I don't know if you'll like How I Lost You or not (I did, but not quite enough to keep it forever and ever - I have to be very particular now), but I needed another book to put in the box. Haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy all the pretties. They were all in the 3.5-4 star range for me, but you might enjoy them EVEN MORE.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just read If You Find Me and it is good. I still need to read Bitterblue, but I'm waiting until I can reread the whole series, because FEELS. Also, I love that you have a book mountain being you.
GOODBYE, REBEL BLUE. I want this. Thankfully, I think my library buys Amulet.
You got the UK version of If You Find Me and they talk about crisps. You have no idea how jealous I am. I loved that book so much and I love the UK. I'm fangirling over your book. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to read The Year of Shadows, I really have no idea how I've avoided reading a Claire Legrand book for this long. If You Find Me sounds heartbreaking but I must read it. Happy reading!
