August Fiction #ReadingBracket2024 Update
This month created the battle of the Rowlands, with Running Close to the Wind ultimately moving on in the ranks. Both were delicious but the way Running had me cackling from all the hijinks 🤣
Also, The Pairing obviously had to make a wild card appearance, I loved it sm 💖

I read it & then bought this very pretty special edition from The Broken Binding. It looks like great fun!
♥️🏴☠️
I loved both When Among Crows by Veronica Roth and Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland, so my bracket ended up coming down to those two.

pick5/5
Avra stole the most heavily guarded secret in the world when he's unexpectedly reunited with his ex. Now they have to figure out how to make sense of this secret and not get killed for the knowledge they now possess.
I loved Avra. He's the worst, in the best possible way. It was my first introduction to this fantasy world, and I can't wait to read more. I honestly wish this book had been longer, I happily would have continued to read more of
Another Alexandra Rowland books takes the top spot this month March. How hilarious would it be if they went head to head? 😂 @CSeydel #BookBracket2024
pickAlexandra Rowland has become a new favorite author between A Taste of Gold and Iron and this one. Set in the same world, Running Close to the Wind follows a ridiculous and supernaturally lucky former intelligence agent / poet on a pirate ship , the captain he has an on again-off again relationship with, and the monk they're both crushing on. It's a lot less serious than her first book, but I loved that about it. Big Our Flag Means Death vibes.
