Rebecca | 4 comments Just finished "Shadow Scale" by Hartman--it is a sequel and the first is a bit more action-packed, while this one is a bit hard to get into at first, but by the end, you hate to finish the book and lose such wonderful characters... About to start "Bone Gap"...

Aentee | 2 comments Finished Magonia yesterday, great book if you are looking for originality and creativity with regards to world building.

Currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses and hoping to love it, as I really want to get into Sarah J Maas's books - even though Thrones of Glass didn't do it for me.

Nancy (nankay) | 4 comments I'm reading The Anatomy of Curiosity by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff. Three authors have written three short stories and discuss how they developed the idea and how each story is written. The stories are interesting and the writing commentary is invaluable.

Diana It has been such a slow reading month for me but I've started Black Widow Forever Red by Margaret Stohl and Lair of Dreams (The Diviners, #2) by Libba Bray . I've kind of hit a lull with Black Widow, I started before it came out but I'm still at the halfway point.

Bianca {Until The Last Page} (untilthelastpage) I can't believe I have not visited goodreads for a few years! I've gone back to reading, thanks to the Nevermore series by Kelly Creagh. I finished the first and second books in 6 days (I might be doing poor as compared to you guys) and I found it really unique and interesting. I will start with the third and last installment tomorrow and I cant wait!
