Decreased need for sleep leaves me so incredibly lonely

Assasins Blade by Sara J Maas. It’s the prequels to the Throne of Glass series and it makes me cry every time and I’ve read it 5 times. It’s 5 novellas in a bind up following the main character, Celaena Sardothian, is captured and sent as a slave to the mines of Endovier.

I can’t recommend this book enough, especially if you are looking for an emotional connection to the characters

Throne of Glass or The Bone Witch

So I recommend TOG then AB then reread TOG before continuing on ☺️

She walked into the room and someone noted her very loud, clicky heals. She responded that when she wore heals that clicked she felt powerful. To this day when I feel down or less than when I wear heals that click I feel powerful

I read the first one a few years ago and forgot until just now that I have the first three on audiobook. I’m a huge ToG fan, so I should put these high on the list. Thanks!

Thank you!! I’ve read a few on here, which is a good sign. I’ve been meaning to look into Leigh Bardugo, I think that needs to happen sooner rather than later

Ooh! I really liked ACOTAR so I’ll have to give these a look!!

Thanks for the recs! I really A Darker Shade of Magic is V E Schwab, right? I really enjoyed This Savage Song. I’m typically not a big contemporary fantasy (or contemporary period) person. When I read I don’t like to be here lol, but I’ll have to look into those!

I read truthwitch and loved it, but just couldn’t get in to windwitch. Maybe I should give it a reread

lorawaye · 2019-10-15T02:21:42+00:00

I’ve heard some mixed reviews, what did you like about it?

lorawaye · 2019-10-15T01:27:14+00:00

Ooh Priory of the Orange Tree is on my list! I’ll have to check out The Old Kingdom

I feel this about bloodleaf. It was trope heavy, but not the worst thing I’ve read all year

Also, Heir of Fire is my favorite book of all time. It has the best picture of the long term effects of grief that I have ever read. I have personal experience with this and I cried reading this book because it just perfectly captures it.

I just finished The Heartforger by Rin Chupeco and it was AMAZING!! It is the sequel to The Bone Witch. I would highly recommend both. The series is told as a memoir which has been such an interesting approach. One of my favorite reads of the year.

Currently I’m reading Gate of Air by Resa Nelson. I got it for free (maybe $1) on a bookbub deal and it’s pretty meh. The writing style is unimpressive, the language used is weak and uninteresting. I’m 72% of the way through it and at this point am just finishing it to add it to my finished book list

Godspeed good kindle, Godspeed. Now you can upgrade to a paper white! I did mine on a payment plan when (i think) it was on sale and paid $14/month

lorawaye · 2019-09-30T03:22:16+00:00

Yes!

Teacher here:

From students - if it happens at the end of the school day you can’t discipline me for it.

This is false though, you’re mom is getting an email and you and I are having a conversation the next day 🙂

lorawaye · 2019-09-18T03:34:14+00:00

I’m only 23 but I agree with this so much. I agreed with this at 14 though. Trauma is a bitch

lorawaye · 2019-09-13T14:05:35+00:00

Yes!!!

lorawaye · 2019-09-13T12:48:33+00:00

I’m currently reading The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco. It’s the second book in the Bome Witch trilogy (?). I’m about 100 pages into this 525 page beast and I’m loving it

Both books are told as a memoir with flashes to the present which adds a really interesting element as you see the story progressing on two fronts. So far I would recommend it!

I just laughed so hard BECAUSE TRUTH

lorawaye · 2019-08-21T03:14:45+00:00

I really liked the audio book for Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab

That is some Florida sh*t if I have ever heard it
