pick*Not the tagged book* I haven‘t had the best luck with books by Owen King. He wrote a short story, Letter Slot, as part of The Shivers collection. Since it was a short story, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised and relieved to find that I enjoyed it. It was captivating and had a heartfelt theme that allowed me to empathize with the main characters.

Ok! Went to DC last week for OA at the Sup Ct (so cool), & had a nighttime stroll past the white house w sis ☺️ (yes, I was exhausted🥱)
Also spotted Ikigai on living long & happy life… 🤔 curious how it contrasts w hygge…
And picked up a few books at Page 1. I was thinking of reading birthday murder for #seasonalcozies, but I think I‘m done w Meier after this month‘s (Patty‘s day), which I‘m struggling to finish. 🍀👎🏽
Anyone read the tagged?
pickThis was an unusual book for me. A cozy political fantasy? I enjoyed it! D was a great character. I‘d read more from this world.
I have joined the #31by31 Readathon hosted by @Catsandbooks … 9/31.

Making a dent in my TBR pile and look what I found…super excited to start this book!
pickAfter a revolution overturns the ruling elite, D seeks out a mysterious building where her late brother claimed he was helping to save the world, only to find its smoldering ruins. She takes over a museum of wax figures celebrating workers, where terrible sounds wake her in the night. A gruesomely Dickensian story of murder and revenge, with a resourceful and cool-headed heroine, charming young thieves, and a remarkable cast of worship-worthy cats
"The city--nicknamed 'The Fairest' by poets and municipal advocates for its river, the mighty Fair--jutted from the body of the country like a hangnail from its thumb."

Okay, so far so good! 😀👍🏻 Also, I'm really digging these illustrations!
I really loved Sleeping Beauties so I have been super excited for this release! Unfortunately, I read some Goodreads reviews that have rated it pretty poorly. In general it has a fairly low overall rating on Goodreads. 😢 I felt tainted by that for a minute, but you know what? Screw it! I'm going to read it anyway! I'm still excited about this book and I'm going in with an open mind! 💕📚💕
pickOwen King‘s new book The Curator comes out Tuesday and you should add it to your TBR right now. I loved it so much. If you love cats, you will too. The world he created in this story is so much fun, you won‘t want to leave it.

panA fantasy book where cats are worshipped seemed like something I would love. The world was interesting and I liked the use of magic/illusion in the storytelling. The biggest problem for me though involved the never-ending cast list of characters with names and nicknames and titles and just overall confusion. I couldn't keep any of them straight which made reading this frustrating.
