I started The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

The Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon

I started it on Sunday and omg I'm in love! I saw the book at BAM and since I'm totally guilty of judging a book by its cover, the jacket art was so beautiful I had to check it out and just after reading the summary I fell in love.

It's an amazing read so far, and if you like stuff like A Song of Ice and Fire or Lord of the Rings + very diverse characters + well written female leads and Chinese themed dragons, check it out!

Sadie, by Courtney Summers Audiobook
Daisy Jones and the Six Just meh so far at almost half way mark.
Plan to start The Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon once Daisy is done. I'm really excited for this one.

Goodness, it's been over a week since I posted!

​

I recently finished Lovely War by Julie Berry, Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith, a fantastic fairy tale inspired by The Goose Girl, The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, a mystery thriller advanced reader's copy I've had for a minute, I tried reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, but couldn't get through it. I was bored to tears over a hundred pages in, so I switched to The Silent Patient. My latest finished book was Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts, a historical fiction novel about L. Frank Baum and his widow, Maud. It was amazing! Definitely put a different perspective on The Wizard of Oz for me. Now I'm currently reading Circe by Madeleine Miller. Hope you guys are all enjoying the books you're reading!

Finished Slade House, by David Mitchell and After Atlas, by Emma Newman.

Started The Gray House, by Mariam Petrosyan. Still working on The Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon.

Slade House was an interesting horror story concept involving people visiting an odd house and then never being seen again. Broken up into 4 or 5 sections where the narrator is the person visiting the house.

After Atlas was a mystery story continuing in the universe of Planetfall, not directly related but several things and people to connect the two. Nothing hit me/stuck with me quite as much as Planetfall but it was still a good story.

Finished Semiosis, by Sue Burke.

Currently reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon and Slade House, by David Mitchell.

Finished The Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon and read Monstress Vol 3: Haven, by Marjorie Liu.

Made some progress on The Gray House, by Mariam Petrosyan but only about 20% into it so far.

Priory was really good. Multi-POV fantasy involving dragons and mages/witches with a quick pace to it. It fits a lot into it's ~850 pages.

Monstress continues to be just ok in my mind. Will continue with the series but feeling a bit let down for how much hype it gets.

Finished The Priory of the Orange Tree, by Samantha Shannon. Loved every second of it.

Started Spinning Silver, by Naomi Novik. I'm not feeling it right now, but I have high hopes.
