I haven’t had one of these posts in a couple weeks, so some of these links are a bit older than just a week! Enjoy!
Books I’m Now Curious to Read–
My So-Called Chaos wrote a review of the book Tell The Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt. I’ve seen this book around before and I loved the title, but I never knew what it was about. It sounds quite good!

Questions Answered from ShootingStarsMag–
Q. On my review for Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I got a comment asking about the appropriate age range for this book/series.
A: I’ve read the first two books now and there are mentions of grown up topics, as well as violence, so I would definitely say it’s an upper young adult book. Ultimately, it’s up to the reader though and what they can handle!
Thanks for sharing these! Have a lovely weekend!
Oh man, it is so hard to determine age appropriateness
I'll have to check out that Inked post!
DoSaB upset me and I'm almost 50! lol but I agree – upper YA. I think most teens that age could handle it.

My sister in law made our kids some personalized books and they are really cute. As far as DOSAB I think it is upper YA and adult. I met Laini Taylor and she said her series is marketed everywhere else as Adult. I think it is far beyond YA.
I've also been curious about Tell The Wolves I'm Home. I would agree about The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy.
Oh I love The Freckled Fox! She's absolutely stunning and I am obsessed with her blog 😛
But more than that, someone has a similar name to my blog! I'm going to have to check them out 😀
I've only read the first book in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, but I have to agree with you!

This is such a neat little recap, no matter how many social media places I'm at I'm always missing out on things, so thanks for the post!
I absolutely love looking at bookish tattoos! I've often thought about getting one myself, something small that won't look horrible when I get older and my skin starts to sag. I love the little Harry Potter scar, now I just need to work up the courage to have one done. It's hard when I'm such a chicken 😀
Thanks for sharing Lauren <3
I didn't grow up in this country, so all my early literature was in Spanish. I had to read as an adult some of the kids classics.
I'd would say the same thing about Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
So excited to check out Tell the Wolves I'm Home – that title!
xx
I need to check out the personalized ABC book..how cool is that!
Ooh Tell the Wolves I'm Home looks super cute and I love the cover! I hope it's good, Lauren 🙂
I'd love to know what Tell The Wolves I'm Home is about.
I like the idea of the Inked post. And I agree, Daughter of Smoke and Bone is definitely older YA. Great post, Lauren! 🙂
I'll have to check out the post about the tattoos. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
I love Christy and Erica's tattoo feature, I have three myself, and love looking at ones people have, so pretty to see how ideas have worked out. 🙂
