2/5 Not a fan of this one... I preferred the second one of the series.
While I still like that type of storytelling mixing art and prose, the plot didn't work for me here. Too many things suggested, not enough world building.

I‘m trying to read this very slowly because I‘m sad it‘s all about to end and I absolutely love Alexia. I want more of her and her companions, not her daughter (though she is hysterical as a toddler). 😢🐺🧛🏻♂️☂️
I caught myself laughing out loud twice during lunch at my desk.
pickReally enjoying this series on audio. In this one, the MCs end up in Scotland, & we have more machinery (steampunk vibes), werewolf politics, & background about the male MC. Loved this one. Big twist at the end which is spoiled immediately if you read the summary for the 3rd book before reading this one.
Following the 1st-hand account of Cora's journey on the legendary Underground Railroad is a very emotional story; I, the reader share her intensity of close calls, heartbreaking blindsides and setbacks, meaningful reflections, and reviving next steps along the way.

The neighborhood pool is quiet so far this morning.
It‘s not too hot yet, I‘m in the shade, I have my knitting, a dunkalatte,and a book.
Perfect morning.
Went by the used bookstore today and traded in quite a few to get these beauties (+2 for my kid not pictured) more or less half off. Whee! I love these old sff covers so much. And what a gorgeous edition of The Ladies of Grace Adieu. Illustrations by Charles Vess in that one.

pick62/100 The final book in The Hoy War trilogy. It seemed a bit longer than necessary, the armistice between the US and the USSR come about in the middle of the book, then the rest is the aftermath of the war, which seemed to be an excuse to kill off a couple of characters who had barely survived the war. The frustrating thing was events pretty much went back to status quo afterwards, Russia still dominated eastern Europe and Korea was still
pickBook #9 of 2025: “The Scourge of God” by SM Stirling. I was reallly into this series when I was younger but got behind during/post college. I picked this up at a used bookstore in Florence over the winter and loved it. Time to get the rest of the series!
