After years I have finally finished this duology which actually has another book coming out. I did enjoy this duology but I found it to be way over hyped which made me have high expectations for it that weren’t met completely. My review will go up soon.
Erin and I are still making our way through The Darkest Legacy. We are reading 4 chapters a day and we are currently 312 pages into this 569 page book. I started Gemina last night and managed to listen to over half of it so I fully intend to finish it today.
This months book for the Stephen King readalong that I participate in every month is Carrie. Our group discussion is on the 28th and I haven’t even started it yet so I really need to get on it. I was planning on starting Daughter of Smoke & Bone yesterday but I realized that it was due back at the library today and I am out of renewals. I took it back to the library and luckily no one else has a hold on it so I was able to check it out again. After I finish the audiobook of Gemina I plan to continue with my reread of the trilogy with Obsidio.
Credit as always to The Book Date. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them if you have? What have you been reading lately? What are your reading plans for the week?
I am yet to read the illuminae series ❤

I still need to read the Illuminae series, but it’s great to hear that you’re flying through your reread of the books! I’m glad you enjoyed Crooked Kingdom too! I absolutely adored that duology! I’m sorry it wasn’t quite as good as you had hoped though!
I’m just finished up Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, and am hoping on starting This Cruel Design by Emily Suvada tomorrow! 🙂

Yeah listening to the audiobooks is helping me fly through them. Yeah I just let the hype get to me in that Duology I’m glad I still enjoyed it though.
I hope you end up enjoying both of them.

I have yet to read Obsidio! I think I’m going to do the audiobook version of it as well. I’m looking forward to your Crooked Kingdom review!

I’m enjoying the audiobooks but for me personally actually reading it was better. It will hopefully go up in the next week or two. I have several reviews to get up before that one.

I am sorry to hear Crooked Kingdom didn’t work for you. I have Carrie on my shelf and I actually read a bit last year but stopped at around 10% in the book. I need to pick it up again.

I loved the Illuminae Files trilogy. I am rereading them but this time I am listening to the audiobooks. I watched the movie for Carrie a long time ago but I don’t remember a whole lot from it.
