Eeeeeek! I am beyond excited to receive this #ARC of #Slayer by @authorkierstenwhite from @simonandschuster!! It's the perfect Christmas present and I cannot wait to dive in! 📖 Are you as excited to read this as I am?? It comes out January 8th so make sure you pre-order your copy (it's available at all the major booksellers)! 📖 Into every generation a Slayer is born… Nina and her twin sister, Artemis, are far from normal. It’s hard to be when you grow up at the Watcher’s Academy, which is a bit different from your average boarding school. Here teens are trained as guides for Slayers—girls gifted with supernatural strength to fight the forces of darkness. But while Nina’s mother is a prominent member of the Watcher’s Council, Nina has never embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Instead she follows her instincts to heal, carving out a place for herself as the school medic. Until the day Nina’s life changes forever. Thanks to Buffy, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting, Nina is not only the newest Chosen One—she’s the last Slayer, ever. Period. As Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training, Leo, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting ring, a demon who eats happiness, a shadowy figure that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams… But it’s not until bodies start turning up that Nina’s new powers will truly be tested—because someone she loves might be next. One thing is clear: Being Chosen is easy. Making choices is hard. 📖 What are your expectations for the book? 📖 #kierstenwhite #slayerbook #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #yabooks #bookstagrammers #bookstagramfriends #bookishtags #bookworm #bibliophile #ireadya #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #alwaysreading #bookaholic #books #fiction #fantasy #paranormal #buffythevampireslayer #simonandschuster #simonpulse

Happy #BookRelease day!! 📖 #SnowWhite by @km.shea is out in the world today! 📖 If you haven't read any of #KMShea's #TimelessFairyTales yet, you are missing out! 📖 They don't have to be read in order or back to back but they are so much better if they are. 📖 And, it's my favorite series, so you should check it out! 📖 #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #yabooks #bookstagrammers #bookstagramfriends #bookishtags #bookworm #bibliophile #ireadya #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #alwaysreading #bookaholic #books #fiction #fantasy #fairytales #Retellings

And we started off with a bang! Rum running, car chases, and gunfire, oh my! With such an exciting beginning I only wish the the book had kept the momentum. Speak Easy Speak Love was full of humor and intrigue, though. I loved the historical setting of the Roaring 20’s and I adored the retelling of Much Ado About Nothing. It was an easy, predictable read. The cast of characters were cheeky, diverse, and highly entertaining. Beatrice’s wit and sarcasm had me rolling in laughter at times. Benedick’s stubbornness intrigued me to no end. I admired Maggie and her sense of self and hard work, and I loved how wild and quirky Hero was. Prince and John equally stole my heart and I just couldn’t get enough of everyone! I loved the action and comedy, and found the romances to be mildly satisfying. I do wish that I had loved the book more. I had so looked forward to it, and I had put it off for far too long, being afraid that I would be disappointed. It was good, and definitely worth a read, but the pacing slowed down drastically after the beginning, and the story was super predictable. I’d rate it 3.5 stars. ❤️ Have you read this?
