Today's task for #jcfapril is to share something relating to #TheWrathandTheDawn. While this is a duology-series that I have read, I do not own the books. 🙄🤔 . . . . So instead, I present to you my edition of the Aladdin DVD with Princess Jasmine! Disney's Aladdin is a retelling of one of the stories in One Thousand and One Nights, and since TW&tD is also a retelling of Scheherazade and the One Thousand and One Nights. . . . It's a match, yes? 🙄🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #DisneyMovie #Aladdin #PrincessJasmine #FunkoPop #bookstagram #books #OneThousandandOneNights #series #TheWrathandTheDawnDuology

Today's task for #jcfapril is to share something relating to Fangirl/Carry On. Are these the books wherein #Fangirl is the story of a girl who writes comics and #CarryOn is a book that features that girl's comics "come to life"? 🤔 . . . . Perhaps it's obvious, but I haven't yet read these books. Instead, I present to you a photo of Hexed by Kevin Hearne, book two in the Iron Druid Chronicles. All throughout this series, gods are given life, but in Hexed, Atticus asks that Mrs. MacDonagh pray to the Virgin Mary, asking that she appear on Apache Boulevard wearing such-and-such. And then a little bit later, when Atticus and Coyote drive down Apache Boulevard, who do they see but the Virgin Mary, wearing the outfit envisioned by Mrs. MacDonagh! 😄🎉❤ . . . . So we have comics coming to life and prayers given life. Seems like a match to me. 😉🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram @kevinhearne #KevinHearne #books #Hexed #series #IronDruidChronicles

Today's task for #jcfapril is to share something relating to the #KingmakerChronicles. 🤔 . . . . This is another series that I hadn't heard of or read. (This month's challenge is really adding to my TBR! 😄) But I looked it up and Urban Fantasy Wiki came to my rescue. 😊 . . . . Apparently, the main protagonist in this series is "[a] smart-mouthed soothsayer [who] has no interest in her powers and would much rather fly under the radar, far from the clutches of her homicidal mother." 🙄 . . . . After reading that, my brain went "Ding! Ding! Ding! I have a match!" 🤣 So pictured I have the first nine books in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews (shown with Andrea's book, # 5.5)! In this series, Kate tries to hide her magic because she's trying to stay away from the notice of her homicidal father. 😊 Also, I think she can be described as smart-mouthed, too! (She certainly has a sassy streak!) 😊 . . . . So yes, even though I shared this series in yesterday's challenge post, I am sharing it again today. The photo is new, at least! 🤣😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #IlonaAndrews #books #KateDaniels #series #KateDanielsSeries

Today's task for #jcfapril is to share something relating to House of Night. 🤔 I hadn't heard of this series, although after I looked it up, I'm pretty sure I've heard of the books! 😄 . . . . As best I can tell, the series involves new-vampire-teens who attend the House of Night boarding school. 🤔 . . . . So I present to you the first two books in the Black Dagger Legacy series by J.R. Ward. In book one, young vampires are attending a special academy to learn to be warriors. (At least, that's how I remember their schooling from my reading of book one, Blood Kiss.) ❤ . . . . Seems similar to me! 😄❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #JRWard @jrwardauthor #books #BloodKiss #BloodVow #series #BlackDaggerLegacy

Today's task for #jcfapril is to share something relating to #TrueBlood. I have never seen this show, and don't have much interest in watching it, but I do own the book series it is based on! 😄❤ . . . . That series is the Sookie Stackhouse or Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris! It's shown here via two new pictures of book one, Dead Until Dark, with my Max! 😍❤ . . . . I believe this series is COMPLETE, and has been for a few years, but I've only read maybe the first seven or eight books, I think. I know I never finished it. I do think I own all of them, though! And this series has been on my Six Series I Own But Have Been Neglecting and Want to Read in 2019 "list" since December of *2017*! 😄❤ . . . . And yes, if you noticed, I DID read Dead Until Dark on March 31, 2018, but I'm still not planning to reread the first books and continue on in this series until 2019. Instead, I'm now embroiled in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne! (I read 100 pages in book four yesterday!) 😄❤ . . . . Lastly, you get two pictures of book one with book one and my Max because I couldn't decide which was the better one to share. (And you only get book one because it's too much work getting the rest out of my main bookshelf system. [If you can find a picture of it - I've shared it several times - this series is on the very bottom, behind at least two rows of other books.]) 😉😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #CharlaineHarris @realcharlaine #books #DeadUntilDark #series #SookieStackhouse #SouthernVampireSeries

Today's first task for #jcfapril is The Iron Fey. I'm thinking. . . Iron Fey might be similar to the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. 🤔 . . . . Or possibly the series name starting with "Iron" is all they have in common, but I'm going with it! 😄 . . . . And then I remembered that I actually do have The Iron King, book one in the Iron Fey series, as an audiobook! See Photo Two! (For that one, Max was asleep on the floor beside me when I took the screenshots. 😍) ❤ . . . . Photo Three is just a screenshot of the cover of The Iron King from my Audible app. 😊 . . . . I last listened to the audiobook of The Iron King in September of 2015 and I last read book one in the Iron Druid Chronicles in July of 2013. And I never continued the series for either of these series. 😲 (I'm interested, though! As you can see in Photo One above, I own the first eight books in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. Planning to read them this year! 😄🎉) ❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #KevinHearne @kevinhearne #JulieKagawa @juliekagawaauthor #KhristineHvam #books #audiobook #TheIronKing #series #IronDruidChronicles #TheIronFey
