After posting my review on Netgalley for Bookish and the Beast, I requested like six more, and I regret this decision… But also, I really don’t regret it because I LOVE SNYDER!!

Enjoy your reading! I hope to read Burn sometime soon as well!
Currently I’m reading The boundless and listening to The deck of omens 🙂

I love Sandhya Menon’s books so I’ll have to give Of Curses and Kisses a look! 😀

I haven’t read anything else by her yet, but this was … scraping in at ‘good’. 3 stars. I didn’t love it – but I did go in expecting a good B&tB retelling, which was silly because I had just finished a fantastic B&tB retelling…

I just finished Bone Crier’s Moon & I thought I was going to read The Fixer Upper, but now I’m not sure.

I vote that you read The Fixer Upper!! (And then tell me if I should buy it!!) ??

YOU READ THE BOOKISH AND THE BEAST???!?!??!?! Omg, I am so excited for it, what did you think of it? Tell me everything.
I’ve been wanting to read Aurora Rising for a while and well, I thought I’d get to it with Aurora Burning coming out but I couldn’t.
I’m currently reading A Match Made in Mehendi and it’s going great so far!

Bookish was ADORABLE. The story is cute and I LOVED it. However, I am hoping the copy that Netgalley sent me is not a final copy because (and I HATE saying this – it breaks my heart), it really needed one last edit. There were timeline inconsistencies (like a couple of things had been moved around in the story), and some paragraphs were repeated in a slightly different way in the same chapter (like they were figuring out where it fit best but forgot to take one out). I gave Netgalley ALL of my feedback and asked them to forward to the publisher, but who knows how that actually works?! Anyway, I seriously hope they fix it, because it might be my favourite of the three if they do.
