Books I read so far that was not mentioned in previous post.
- Frozen 2: Dangerous Secrets: The Story of Iduna and Agnarr by Mari Mancusi - finished reading this with my niece. We both really enjoyed it and it flowed well with the movies.
- The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldo. The fifth book of the Outlander series. Noticing more a big difference between the shows but still love the book a bit more than the show which is typical.
Looking forward to the sixth book which I will probably pick up after this season ends. - Shadow of Night and The Book of Life by Debroah Harkness. This is book 2 and 3 of the Souls series. Again the book has way more detail and explanation than the few episodes the show provides. I have not yet seen season 3 but glad to finish the books first.
- The Duke and I and The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn. Book one and two of the Bridgerton series that the Netflix show is based on. I really enjoyed watching the first season and thought that watching that time period would be more enjoyable than reading it. I was wrong. Julia does an amazing job with the characters of the book the second season (which i read the book first) really disappointed me. SPOILER: I was really looking forward to the bee sting in the show. That part made me laugh in the book and i thought since they ended season one showing a bee it would happen as such but unfortunately not. The queen in the show took the wedding to far the book was classier and funnier. And maybe this is because they gave the Duke a love interest in the first season but i did not get so much of his struggle of wanting to outlive his past generations as i did in the book. Again this was an audiobook but I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second book right away. I look forward to book 3 "An Offer from a Gentleman" as well as the second epilogues at the end of each book. So far I read The Duke and I: The 2nd Epilogue and The Viscount who Loved me: the 2nd Epilogue.
- Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Very interesting, crazy and a bit weird. My kind of book.I believe this was an audiobook which kept my interest and quick listen.
- The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I've so far enjoyed Matt Haig's christmas books and the How to Stop Time book. However, this book I rated 2 stars on Goodreads.It had some interesting parts and parts to ponder over. As a person who suffers from depression I thought I would enjoy it more but i didn't. I'm not saying you shouldn't give it a try I just wouldn't read it again. This was also an audiobook so maybe that makes a difference.
- The Invisible Life of Audie Larue by V.E. Schwab. Another audiobook I listened to during my plane ride. I found it very interesting but I like timeless and timetravel related books.
- Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. the audiobook I listened on my plan ride home. It was ok but not enough to reread or continue the series.
- The Mind Thieves by Lori Brighton. The second book of the Mind Readers series. I know it took me long enough but I finally did finish it. It's not that i found it boring because it's not. The character does stupid things which makes it harder for me to read because of my age. I imagine teen me would love the book more. It ended as book one did in a way that you would want to continue the series so I do plan on doing so just not right away.
- Cress by Marissa Meyer. The Lunar Chronicles has got to be one of my favorite series since the Waterfire Saga. A series that will remain in my library till death for I don't mind rereading any of these books. Book 3 Cress is just as great as the first two. You can't help but love each character that Marissa adds. It's sad to think that when this series came out Hunger Games overshadowed them. This should be a show. What a show it would be, if done correctly. The love interest is strong and maybe because at this time in my life young love does not hit me like it used to but I still very much enjoy this series. I've already started book 4 Winter.
- Storm Siren by Mary Weber. I think I saw the advertisement for this series at the back of one of my Lunar Chronicles books. So I recommended it to the library for purchase as a ebook with the entire trilogy in one. It has adventure and elemental powers like Blood and Bone but not nearly as good as Meyer books or Tomi's. It was just... hmm how can I... I didn't enjoy it, let's leave it like that. I feel bad and I read up to the fifth chapter of Book 2 Siren's Fury but I don't plan on continuing. Maybe one day if my mind unconsciously wants to know what happens but for now there are better books that can take up my time.
