I get a couple of uninterrupted reading hours this morning at my favorite coffee shop while my son is at jazz camp. It‘s a beautiful day outside, the coffee is delicious and this book is starting off wonderfully.

So you‘ve heard of Hy-Brasil? That mystical isle off the west coast of Ireland? 16 (or maybe 17) year old Bridget has grown up there with only 2 mages for company.
This was a delightful original YA fantasy with no romance. About a teenage orphan who was taken in by a magician as a baby. The magician is trying to bring magic back into the world. This has a very unique world and magic system. It is also a standalone, which is a rarity. Though not highly complex, it was a fun read. 4⭐️
Is historical magic a thing? If so this book set in 1912 is it - the period details were great, the magic was well described and mostly made sense and the story was really about families and growing up, about power and control. Lots packed in and I really enjoyed it (reading in the sunshine helped)
I loved this. It has fairy tale vibes but it's totally unique. This was my #Aardvark selection for March. Plus look at this gorgeous cover.

Before I put together my April #BookSpinBingo card, I should probably post my #BookSpin list.😁
I am currently obsessed with this book! 😱💕📚 Something about her writing just really draws me in!
100% LOVED the speculative fiction book! The world building was amazing and I loved Biddy! Managed to inhale this one and it's definitely going to make it onto my keeper bookcase.
Taking advantage of the warm weather today before it snows again on Friday! 🌿📚💕 This book is AWESOME so far! I love H.G. Parry!
#Aardvark pick for March. I was between this and Big Swiss, but I already have that on my library wish list.

I would just like to (humbly) say that ALL of my #Aardvark clue-based predictions were on the money!
As for me - I filled my box (again) with Big Swiss, For Her Consideration, and Sink! ❤️
