Review of "Six of Crows" (The Dregs, #1)
Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

Well, technically the ebook edition I read came to the end of the book at 77% (sneak peeks of other books, acknowledgements, etc.).

 

Helluva ride and a great book.  Lots of dire straits and insurmountable odds.  But with characters that get to you.

 

Although, I'm not sure if I really should have read the Grisha trilogy first.

 

Ratings scale used in absence of a booklikes suggested rating scale:


★★★★★ = All Time Favorite 
★★★★½ = Extraordinary Book. Really Loved It.
★★★★☆ = Loved It.
★★★½☆ = Really Liked.
★★★☆☆ = Liked.
★★½☆☆ = Liked parts; parts only okay. Would read more by author.
★★☆☆☆ = Average.   Okay. 
★½☆☆☆ = Disliked or meh? but kept me reading in hopes would get better.
★☆☆☆☆ = Loathed It. Possibly DNF and a torturous read.
½☆☆☆☆ = So vile was a DNF or should have been. Cannot imagine anyone liking.  (Might also be just an "uploaded" word spew or collection that should not be dignified by calling itself a "published book." If author is going batshit crazy in the blogosphere over reviews -- I now know why they are getting bad reviews.  Or maybe author should take remedial classes for language written in until basic concepts like using sentences sink in. Is author even old enough to sign a publishing contract or do they need a legal guardian to sign for them?)

Bout of Books 19 Day 3: Share your Shelfie Challenge

Hmm...I think I'll be different and share my more "shameful" corner where I'm always in the progress of sorting out books to shelve:

 

 

It gets worse because this corner is in my craft room where I am also perennially sorting craft magazines and craft patterns:

 

 

Of course, if challenge had been to share boxes and tubs of books ... 

 

Details of Challenge:  "Share Your Shelfie

 

Share a picture of your books/shelves/nightstand/e-library/wherever you keep your books on Twitter, Instagram, or on this post. Use the hashtags #boutofbooks and #shelfie4boutofbooks ."

Reading progress update: 31%.
Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

A very good book (real life has delayed the read if it seems like my progress is slow).

My "signup" post for this year's Bout of Books read-a-thon

I'm remembering to actually signup this year.  The signup post text:
