so-soFourth Wing has an excellent twist presented on the final page. So, even with my qualms about it, I finished it with a smile and a respectful tip of the hat in Yarros‘s direction. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/fourth-wing-rebecca-yarros/
pickI really enjoyed this series. It was a cozy fantasy set between Ireland and a fantasy world, both of which jump off the page. The characters and their banter are so fun to follow. There‘s a little spice and some adventure thrown in to keep the plot moving, though overall I enjoyed it most for the joy of the characters ❤️
Our camping trip last week took us to an area where internet access only existed next to the camp store, thus I had to do something besides doom scrolling before sleep. I had an ebook downloaded from the library and read that instead. So, now I think I‘ll do that at home as well. :)
I‘m really enjoying the art in the new Wizard of Earthsea graphic novel . Atmospheric and beautiful .
pickThis one‘s been on my physical TBR for a while, and I finally read it! The movie was okay (but that ART STYLE OMG!!), but of course the book is better. You get more nuance behind the characters that just couldn‘t be fit into an hour and a half. Feels like a timely read, where maybe the “bad guys” aren‘t really the enemy, and the people who make the rules are never the ones to stick to them. Hmm.

pickDragon/shape-shifter smut. There's an okay plot to move the story along. A pick solely because I was entertained.
pickI feel like I read an 800 page analogy of how today's major religions are historically intertwined. Shannon's world is divided into 4 sections with different belief systems. With research and plenty of intense adventures, royalty begin to see fallacies of their own culture and begin to forge alliances in order to destroy an evil.
Plenty of suspense, intrigue, strong women, and dragons.
