Hi Harold, of course I remember you silly :)

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas has a very scary, evil, and creepy villain.

I finished Carve the Mark (Carve the Mark, #1) by Veronica Roth . I liked it. Wasn't overwhelmed but thought it was a decent read.

I just binged on all 8 Harry Potter movies so as soon as the credits rolled in #8, I jumped up and grabbed Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 by John Tiffany to reread. I'm not ready to leave this world quite yet. ;)

Hi, Heidi! The book seems interesting. It sounds a bit like Blake's 7.

Started Avalon (Avalon, #1) by Mindee Arnett last night! It's been on my TBR shelf for years!! And I'm really enjoying it!

Also still listening to The Earth Dwellers (The Dwellers #4; Country Saga #4 ) by David Estes . David just broke my heart! *sob* :'( But the performances are incredible. Siena by Khrisine Hvam is brilliant. She's exactly as I heard Siena in my head while reading this series in print!

I just found a great video I loved on BookTube, her favorite reads of 2016. I loved all of these, too (except for Name of the Wind, which I haven't read yet), and she describes each one so articulately. After every one, I was like--"What she said!"

I started reading Nocturnal by Scott Sigler last night, but may put it aside to read the beta I got tonight and/or Waking Gods (Themis Files, #2) by Sylvain Neuvel which I also got tonight. I'm trying to figure out how I can read 2 books at the same time!! Side by side! Lol!!

Now reading Beauty Queens by Libba Bray which is so funny!

You should! It's one of my new favorite series :) I also recommended it to a friend (who does not read that much) and he liked it a lot. He may or may not have flooded me with text messages in the middle of the night about the series. Hahaha
