I had to use a valuable Audible credit to get this book this month. The library hold is months out. So anyway, I hope to finish it before year end. I didn‘t realize this is such a recent trilogy! Boy did I luck out. I would have hated to wait for book 3!

Oooh @Gissy you went above and beyond and I‘m so so thrilled! PERFECT books for me! And all the craft goodies, notepad and pens, hot chocolate, chocolate bark, and black tea. It‘s like you‘ve known me forever!! It‘s all simply delightful and I‘m so happy I waited until I felt well enough! Thank you so much! Now to read all the cards you tucked in… 🥰😍

pickWhat a thrilling fantasy adventure!
From the very first chapter, I was hooked into the story. The story centers on two young women, Menilmonea and Aureal, who go on an adventure to find out why their village‘s Titan won‘t wake up. Right away, you can tell something is amiss in their world and the story slowly reveals itself.

pickI know the story from the manhwa (which is up to this point preeetty faithful to this version), but it was still fun to read it in this format and get just a little more of the detail. Jinwoo is so clueless about people's feelings, ahahaha.
Enjoyed it a lot.

This is the 6th in the series and the 10th I‘ve read so far. I love the Discworld.
This one focuses on Granny Weatherwax, introduced in “Equal Rites” and it‘s really about the magic of the theater and the dangerous capacity of words and rumors to sway public opinion.
There‘s a lot of playful references to (and muddling of) Shakespeare‘s plays, particularly Macbeth, and to fairy tales.
First #bookspin list for 2026, and I‘m going to be focusing on my #AuldLangSpine list from @rachelsbrittain . I have physical copies of 4 of her books and two audiobooks on hold from the library, can‘t wait to see how many I can get to. The only actual title here is for bookclub, and then I also gave a couple spots to holiday gifts. I‘ll get back to a more normal title list in February. 😁📚❤️
Thank you @Captivatedbybooks for an absolutely **PURRfect** 12/10 no notes #NLHS #naughtylistholidayswap package. The cookies look soooo good, I just caught a cold 😭 so fuzzy socks and hot drinks are a must, I‘m obsessed with the smell of the candle and her adorable kitty ornament and bookends, and can‘t wait to dig into this book and build myself a weird chocolate Santa 😂 Love it all so much!!

First up is DLTFI
I really enjoyed reading this book and it was also one of the first ones I read this year. Just the right amount of creepy and horror. Also felt very dark academia to me. It also features asexual representation and an Achillean romance.
Trigger warnings for this book will be spoiler marked in the comments. If you do not want to know or be spoiled, simply don‘t click.
Penny dog is at the groomers again and I‘m enjoying a Panera salad for lunch/dinner reading the tagged on my kindle.
@Reggie They did not have any Everything cookies 🍪 so I got chocolate chip again. I‘ll be back in two months and try again. 😅
