I added two books to my shelves today from the library. I checked out The Crown by Kiera Cass and Flawed by Cecelia Ahren. They're both YA, and I have already finished The Crown. I didn't love it, but I'm happy I read it.
In the virtual world, I got two books! Both of these were from Netgalley, so shout out to them! The first one I got was Withering Rose by Kaitlyn Davis. The book is a Beauty and the Beast retelling and I had so much fun with it! The other book I got was The Replacement Crush by Lisa Brown Roberts, which I really enjoyed.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!
Genni @ Ready, Set, Read!
I stopped after The One because I've heard lackluster things about the last two books. I'm sorry that you didn't love it!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you did! It's not that I didn't enjoy the story, I just predicted the ending a mile away. It was fun to read though!
DeleteI'm not the biggest fan of Cass or her books! I didn't like The Selection much and never continued with the series. Meh. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fantastic week, Gennifer. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I can see where you are coming from! The books aren't the best by a long shot, but they do entertain me!
DeleteYou're welcome! You too, Alyssa! :D
I'm waiting for the Crown at my library (currently 95th in line...sigh...but after hearing all the mixed reviews about it, the wait might actually be a good thing). I've seen Flawed around on the internet, and I'll have to check it out soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It's always great to see what other people have :)
I know how you feel! I was around 100th in line for A Court of Mist and Fury a week or two ago. I think it is a fine book, it just didn't wow me, you know?
DeleteThanks Erika!
I hope the new Cecelia Ahern book is good- nice gets this week. Have a good weekend and happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping too! I just started it so I don't have that good of a feel for it yet. Thank you! You too! :)
DeleteI've read The Crown. I liked it but did not love it. I still think it's better if they had just stopped at Book 3. Anyway, I loved Flawed and hope you'll love it too :)

I completely agree with you. I don't think Eadlyn's story spent enough time with certain suitors. Eadlyn's HEA wasn't as impacting because I didn't feel invested. That is such good news! Have a good week Sya!
DeleteI've been hearing a lot of good things about The Replacement Crush. It sounds like a really good book. :) I can't wait to read your review on it.
ReplyDeleteThe book was so much fun! I actually already did a review on it! You can find it under the review tab. :D
DeleteWell I don't blame you for DNFg a book. It happens to all of us. I hope you love the rest of your new books.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Thanks Grace! You too. :D
DeleteFlawed sounds so awesome! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Thanks Krystianna! I hope it is. :)
DeleteThe Withering Rose sounds like a good read! I'll be adding it to my TBR list! Thanks. Here's my StS if you'd like to stop by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it when you get around to reading it. :D I'll for sure check it out!
DeleteI didn't love the Crown either. I found it very forces and predictable, but I loved the other books in the series!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know I'm not the only one! That is exactly how I felt.
DeleteI'm curious to find out what you think of Flawed. Your Netgalley books look great. I can't wait to read The Replacement Crush.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of plunging into Flawed today! Hopefully I'll have a review up at the end of the week. The Replacement Crush is such a fun book! One of my favorite contemporaries of the year!
DeleteI hadn't read Dystopian for so long, but I'm curious with Flawed :D And I stopped at the One, because I'm afraid the other books would ruin my love for the series... I hope your next read would be better!

I just started getting back into dystopians, so hopefully Flawed won't disappoint. It takes a bit to get back into the genre. Thanks Tasya! :D
DeleteOH that's too bad you didn't enjoy The Crown that well. That series is a guilty pleasure for me, they are certainly not the best books in the world, but I do have a good time reading them. I can't wait to read the Crown :) I hope you'll enjoy Flawed a bit better! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same way. They aren't the best written or original books, but they do keep my attention! Thanks Marie!
DeleteI just don't get the hype around the Selection books...although, admittedly I've never read one, but I can't see myself really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing Flawed around quite a bit - I hope you end up enjoying it!
I would say they aren't for you. I think the hype is just because the books are fun and entertaining.
DeleteThanks Lauren!
I've seen Flawed a few times on various peoples blogs and it sounds interesting. I really want to read it.
ReplyDeleteI also really love the concept of this meme, I think it's great :-).
Look out on my blog next week, I might start participating in it haha!
I hope you like it!! I had so much fun with it. I definitely will be on the look out!
DeleteI dunno why the cover (face) of The Crown creeps me out!
ReplyDeleteIt does for a lot of people! I understand why Eadlyn is looking at the camera 9it's the only one out of the whole series), but I'm admitting it as well. It's creepy.
