A Court of Mist and Fury was a great start for 2024! The second book af ACOTAR was sooo much better than the first book, and I liked the first book.Fantasy, magic, good, evil, traveling through different places, love, hate and some nice tension (enemies to lovers).
I can do without the smutty scenes though.
The Lost Sisters. A short novel about one of the sisters in The Folk of the Air series. I liked it. I love when you get stories from different perspectives.
The Chain-gang All Stars... puh! It felt like I went to hell. A well written book with a political message we can't turn a blind eye to. I both hate and like the book.
A Court of Wings and Ruin. I love fantasy. There are moments in the book which feels rushed. I want more, I want to know more and I'd rather read more about the Obourors than yet another smutty scene with Feyre and Rhys.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow... Idon'tsee the hype..Swedishtitel: Imorgon och Imorgon och Imorgon
Artificial Condition - LOVED it!The Murderbot series are growing on me.
Short and sweet. Lots of laughs.
A challenge to read since it's sci-fi and it is still a very new and an unexplored genre for me.
The Seven sisters: Maia."Never let your fear decide your destiny"
A love story with some mystery - I loved it!
A Court of Frost and Starlight. Again, I love the interaction between this group of friends - they make me laugh. I enjoyed the different POVs as well. I don't know if I have enough of ACOTAR or if this book was a "silence before the storm" kind if thing, but I was a bit bored.
The Walking Dead vol 3. I'm a fan! I'm glad the comic story is a bit different that the tv show. Curious of what comes next.
Red Rising. Wow! I loved it! Let's break the bloodydamn chains! Rawr.
A Court of Silverflames. Yikes! That must be the smuttiest book I've ever read. I love Nesta and Cassian, I do, but I'm left with so many question marks..
Sju kvadrat med lås by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Loved the ending. Just perfect. I will miss Carl and Assad.
"The Blade Itself" took about 300 pages before it became interesting. So quite the slow burn. Great dialogues! And very interesting characters, too. I'm very curious about where this story will go next!
The Hunt by ZW Taylor. Werewolves as wolves. Friendly vampires. Tension. Friendships. Horror. Blood. Action. Loved and ate it all!
Rogue protocol, the third book in the The Murderbot diaries. Not as good as the book before (I loved the ART) but I can't help but not loving these books.
How the King of Elfhame learned how to hate stories will be the very last book in The Folk of the Air series I will read. I'm done. No more.
The second book of the Mistborn is - The Well of Ascension wad a 5 star for me. There's alot though about the story involving the history of the Well of Ascension I find a bit difficult to understand but I hope I'll get some answers in the next book!
The third book of the Mistborn Trilogy - The Hero of Ages - was another 5 star for me.It got deep and intense with history and religion and different magic systems and creations and such.
I will have to reread it in the future!
Ooh.. and it did NOT end as I expected *bawling my eyes out*
Legends & Lattes! This is my nr 1 book of 2024 so far!Love, love LOVED it!
Bookshelves & Bonedust! This is my second nr 1 book of 2024. my expectations were zero since the previous book was so darn good. But this was just as wonderful, cozy, heartwarming and loveable!
Exit strategy, the fourth and final book of the Murderbot Diaries (or not). I still miss ART, but glad Murderbot found it's friends.
Gruppen - a psychological fiction. Something about it kept me reading until I reached the end!
Sweet dreams Öxnehaga - leaves feelings of both happiness and melancholy. The story is about growing up in the 80s in Sweden abd it was great to travel back in time.
One Dark Window --> Oh... my... God!! Loved it!This book had about everything I could ask for in YA romantasy. Is it even a romantasy?
People we met on vacation - I can't see why it's so popular.
Two Twisted Crowns, the second book in the duology about the Shepherd king.I wish the author had made the story in to three books instead of two. There are just way too many things happening in the second book.
I'll miss the Monster.
Just finished The Fisherman by John Langan. I'll say what the author himself wrote: "What in the hell was all that?"
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I simply loved it.✨️ The star of the show ---> M-bot ✨️
Älskade Betty by Katarina Widholm. Goodbye Betty! These books will stay with me forever ❤️
Utanpåverket by Kristin Nord was an emotional story which I'll carry with me..
Lessons in Chemistry. I totally LOVED this book. I laughed, cried, hoped, screamed. And everything about the women's rights and how it was not too long ago.
Med Bergens Andetag. Beautiful. 5 stars!
Borde vara tacksam by Sonia Hussain. A story that builds up feelings but which also is describes the difficulties of not belongen anywhere because of culture indifferences.
Tresspasses by Louise Kennedy is a beautiful and heartbreaking story which takes place in the 1970's in Northen Ireland during The Troubles conflict.
