Just unboxed my @owlcrate and it was absolutely lovely! I’m really looking forward to both of these books. And I’m already so in love with the necklace from this box!🥰 . . . #owlcrate #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #fallintoabook #fallreads #autumnreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B38F3OlA0JZ/?igshid=38g2omlckz3p

These characters and this story were such an integral part of my childhood. It’s lovely to see that they’re just as I remembered and also so much better then I remembered. There was so much that I missed or had forgotten. Rereading this as an adult has let me see so much more of the little clues and foreshadowing for things to come. I’m glad to finally be getting back into this intricate world. I’m giving this a solid five stars.

Just unboxed my @thebookishbox! While I might not be the biggest fan of the House Of Night series, I loved this exclusive cover. And all the other little goodies are sooo cute! 🧛‍♀️📚 . . . . #bookishbox #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookclub #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #fallintoabook #fallreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Nmye1gGn7/?igshid=16suajwco4o2o

*deep breath*……*incoherent fangirl screaming*…..*deep breath*….. Okay…I’m good now. So, this book is freaking awesome! The second I started reading this I fell head over heels in love with Oxnard, our main character. He’s such a sweetheart and needs to be protected at all costs! All of the characters are amazing, but Ox is just so pure. He just wants to protect his family and live in peace. I kind of feel like all of these characters are my children now, from the shop boys and Jessie and grumpy-ass Gordo, to the lovable dorks Carter and Kelly, Joe and Ox, the rest of the Bennett’s, and sweet adorkable Robbie. They all deserve so many cuddles 😊! I don’t know what it is about this book that really drew me in. Maybe it was the incredibly sweet way that Ox sees the world, or the way that all of the characters are written, or the fact that this book is dripping with representation for LGBTQ+ and people of color. All that really matters is that this book hooked me and never let go. I love that Wolfsong is so representative, especially for being an urban fantasy book. This is seriously one of the most well written and inclusive books that I’ve ever read. I would highly recommend that you give this book a try!! Especially if you want something that embraces the LGBTQ+ community wholeheartedly (with a little urban fantasy thrown in, of course). Some other things that are awesome about this book: the loving and accepting parents, a found family, hilarious (and we’re talking laughing your ass off funny) scenes, lots of angsty goodness, and an amazing amount of badass werewolves and humans. I for one, would love to join this blended pack of wolves and humans. Just give me a silver infused crowbar and I’d be good to go 😉. Anyway, this book is getting a solid five stars. AND you should totally check it out!!! #wolfsong #greencreekseries #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookclub #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #instabook #instaread #instabookclub #fallintoabook #springreads #springreading #bookreview

Just unboxed this months @owlcrate and I’m I love with it! 😊 I can’t wait to read this book. It looks sooooo pretty! 😍 #owlcrate #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookclub #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #instabook #instaread #instabookclub #fallintoabook #summerreads #summerreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZcROIAsmw/?igshid=16bwn888h5txp

I’m really in love with this book. I love that this is a solo series for Magnus and Alec! We get to see how much they love each other and just how dorky they can be. I truly loved getting to be inside their heads. They are so different from Clary or the Blackthorns. Magnus is a jumbled mess of contradictions and I love him for it. He’s snarky and sweet and kind. Alec is still a little confused about love, but he’s making the awkward flirting thing work for him. He’s working on breaking down his and Magnus’s walls so they can work as a couple. It’s just so freakin’ cute. Seriously, they are couples goals. 🙂 Another thing that I really loved about this book was that it was set between the two main arcs of the Mortal Instruments series. It’s set at the beginning of their relationship and we get to see them develop into the true power couple they are. They are adorkable and shy and so sweet with each other. It’s nice to see all of these things that were missed in the OG series. I’m so happy that they are finally getting an in-depth series, they truly deserve it. I’m giving this book a solid five stars. I can’t wait to see how this series develops! (Also thanks to @thebookishbox for the awesome artwork on the exclusive cover they included in their April box!) #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookclub #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #instabook #instaread #instabookclub #fallintoabook #summerreads #summerreading https://www.instagram.com/p/BytOL7xgzNy/?igshid=1oks5b73vlz73

While I normally love Galenorn’s books, this one fell completely flat for me. It almost felt like it was a rough draft rather then a fully fledged book. I DNF’ed this at page 94 because it felt bland and dispassionate and even a little robotic in some scenes. I did skim through the rest of the book after deciding to DNF it, but it just didn’t spark any interest. The characters felt two dimensional and flimsy. They were kind of like dolls; they had little personality and felt like they were just put into the scenes and posed there. It was just frustrating! These characters were cool and with a little more thought put into them they could have made this book so much better. The dialogue also felt stilted and unnatural to the characters and the storyline. Sure, there were a couple of scenes that were great but there was so much more of this book that felt loose and unedited. This book left me unsatisfied and like I wasted my time on it. I loved the premise of this but the execution of it was just lacking so much for me. For that reason this gets two out of five stars. #alwaysmaketimetoread #book #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookclub #bookishadventures #read #reading #readabook #readingaddict #readingadventures #goodreads #goodbook #putabookonit #literaryadventures #instabook #instaread #instabookclub #fallintoabook #summerreads #summerreading https://www.instagram.com/p/ByV9UiUA6jj/?igshid=1g51yrpkck6kh
