David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

Finished Shadow of the Fox, which was pretty good. Just started reading Between Shades of Gray.

Between Shades of Gray is so good! Have you read any of her other works?

I just finished Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk. What a delight it was to read. The author seamlessly wrote present and past scenes in such a way that you have no idea you’re in a backstory until you’re knew-deep.
The main character has such a strong voice.

@Elora No this is the first one I’ve read by her but Salt to the Sea is on my TBR.

@Catherine I hope you enjoy! Sepetys is one of my favorite authors. ☺️

Retreading the 2/2986 series by Annelie Wendeberg. Excellent series! Also reading THE DEFECTORS series by Tarah Benner. Love all her works.

Donna how’s your book going?

I’m on the third book ICE BY a Wendeberg and the first Defectors and like them both. I am retreading the Wendeberg series. It was on Kindle Unlimited when I first read them. Now I have to buy them. Worth it.

I hadn't done much reading for a little while, but I've been reading like crazy the last 4 days or so!

I've finished:

Which of course was good, it actually gave me some great ideas. Has great tips and design plans in it.

which I really liked! I was hoping I would. Its pretty slow moving, but I was so hooked into this woman's life story. At the end, you still feel bad for her, and recognize she's not evil, but she still is a villain in my book, just based on some of the things she did. Of course, this is all hypothetical in this context :)

which was also very good. Had a "Game of Thrones" feel about it with the characters and drama. I especially liked the 5 sisters and their dynamics with each other. This was an advent book from Karen. Karen, this was a good one! I will definitely be reading the sequel.

which was cute! I really enjoyed the message and the characters. Can't wait to watch the movie now!

Next I'm reading

Wow that’s a lot of books Jenny lol

I am listening to and it is really good about a woman who is taken from her royal palace and made a slave to Achilles. It is from a woman's perspective.

Yay, happy you enjoyed Daughters of the Storm. I'm pretty sure I have a copy as well.

I've read another book that was similar. This one sounds good too.

It also has a POV for Achilles. I am listening to audio book digital version from library.

Ooooh Karen, I've heard so many good things about The Calculating Stars! I'm hoping to get ahold of it sometime this year!

Currently wrapping up the audiobook of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, which I've really enjoyed.

Also reading City of Miracles and I'm SO not ready for my time in this world to be over!!

Reading for a challenge. Hopefully it doesn't hurt my heart too much!

I am reading which is the sequel of which I got for free on Instafreebie. I've wanted to pick up this sequel for a long time and finally sprung for it! I LOVE this series with it's characters and am so glad that I got to read the first book for free to introduce me to this awesome world! So glad there are 5 books in the series!

Sarah I loved that book called The Fault in Our Stars

I’m currently rereading the Raven Cycle. It’s so good to be back in this world of magic.

I finished this morning. 💗 Up next: :)

I finished which I really enjoyed, and also which was amazing!

Right now I'm reading on my Kindle. I loved the first book, but feeling kind of meh on this one, although I'm not far in. I'm going to give it a bit longer.

And next I'm going to be starting

Poor Nina. 🥺

Have you finished KoS, Karen?

Put down Labyrinth Lost for now, it was too slow for me. Currently reading Pride by Ibi Zoboi that I got in one of my Owlcrates.

I finished which was really good, and my reread of

I'm about halfway through and also started which is really cute!

I finished my 19th book

I left Pride in my car last night and didn't feel like going to get it, so I started reading Five Feet Apart and now I'm reading that instead and I know it is totally going to wreck me.

Elora Mitchell wrote: "Have you finished KoS, Karen?"

No, not yet. I'm about halfway through. Not enough reading time lately. 😕

I'm at the Tucson Festival of Books and didn't want to drag another book on top of the books I brought to have signed, so started on my Kindle. Tomorrow I get to see a few favorite authors!

I finished my 20th book
