  3. CAN WE JUST AGREE THAT LEGENDARY WAS EVERYTHING AND I LOVED IT!!?!?! I’m so glad you enjoyed Furyborn ahhh, I’ve heard so many mixed things and idk whether to read it or not… Grace and fury + Sky In the deep look really interesting. I’m glad you enjoyed SKY it sounds amazing!!

    1. LEGENDARY WAS SO GOOD AND… SWOON-WORTHY? And I really enjoyed Furyborn, but it is so polarizing. Did you read and enjoy Queen of the Tearling? I feel like that’s the fairest comparison. And I am so excited for Grace and Fury! And Sky in the Deep was so surprisingly atmospheric! I hope you love them all! And I hope you’re having an amazing end of the month, love! Happy reading! 💗xx

  16. Aahh, Mel, are you planning on reading Radio Silence in June? Because it’s on my Pride TBR (as well as The Abyss Surrounds Us) and we could totally plan a BR for it/them. 😉💞 (And congrats on all the ARCs from publishers, you deserve it. 💛)

    1. Awh, thank you, Norrie! I am very excited for you to give it a try! I am 50% into Spinning Silver now (so I don’t know if picking that is cheating… haha!) But I bet I end up picking up The Queen of Crows next out of all of the rest, just because I think a friend is going to buddy read it with me VERY soon! Hehe!

  19. Wooo, that’s an awesome haul you have there! 🙂 Ugh I’ve been so eager to read Spinning Silver but it’s not available for international bloggers. :/ Can’t wait till it comes out so I can buy it! 🙂 The Mermaid too, I’ve been wanting to start Christina Henry for a while now, and can’t wait to buy that one! 🙂
