Lonely Werewolf Girl | Martin Millar

Pickpick

Bk3 of August & #Rushathon #readathon is done. Finally!! When I dragged myself out of this mini slump, I ended up very much enjoying this book.It‘s Werewolf Satire,if that‘s even a subgenre & was wholly entertaining. With a depressed berserker werewolf teen, a werewolf Enchantress, an interfering Fire Elemental Princess, two drugged out musician werewolves, a cross dressing werewolf king to be,a huge feud & a whole lot of snark,it‘s a wild ride.👇

TheSpineView Fantastic! 2mo

Expat Americans Gerald and Sara Murphy seemed to socialize with the who‘s who of the 1920‘s- Picasso, Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and Dorothy Parker just to name a few. However their generous spirits and zeal for life and art make them equally captivating figures. This biography was very detailed which made it plod along at times but it is a period time I always love reading about. Last book for #fourfoursin23 #glossyposse

Lauredhel Well done! This sounds like a perfect fill for that prompt. Congrats! 2mo

It's the 222nd day of the year! So I've decided it's time for a reading challenge catchup. (1/5)

#fourfoursin23 : COMPLETED!

Dragonfly in Amber | Diana Gabaldon

And since Dragonfly in Amber well and truly fills the #BustleMuscle prompt, I think (ok technically it's pre-bustle, but Jamie's the muscle) - that's also a wrap on the #fourfoursin23 #readingchallenge for me for the year!

How are you all progressing?

AbigailJaneBlog I have one more square left! I'm finding the last few prompts quite difficult 😅 2mo
Lauredhel @AbigailJaneBlog we could brain storm possibilities if you say the prompts and the genres you like? 2mo
Jas16 Just one more to go 2mo

Lauredhel @Jas16 ooh which one? 2mo
Jas16 Glossy posse 2mo
mcipher Oh I failed this SO HARD because I legit forgot about it until now 😂😂 I guess I love to join challenges, not actually complete them 2mo
Lauredhel @mcipher you so haven't failed! We're barely half way through the year. Sort back through your Read list - it's a super flexible challenge so you're probably half way there and didn't know it :) 2mo
Lauredhel @Jas16 oh Glossy Posse is doable - any sort of tight girl gang or friend group 2mo
Lauredhel @Jas16 if you want a specific rec, Yardley's "Love, Comment, Subscribe" has a heroine who is a beauty Youtuber 2mo
Jas16 @Lauredhel I do have that one languishing in my kindle. Great suggestion 2mo
AbigailJaneBlog @Lauredhel I have a few ideas for the others (bustle muscle & armour charmer), but Peewee Teevee is the one I'm struggling with most!
2mo
Lauredhel @AbigailJaneBlog I read Here for the Right Reasons for that one - it's set on a reality TV set. But you could read anything that's been adapted for TV - that leaves it wide open! Or just read a novella. You don't have to make the book fill both prompts - one is enough. Both is kinda a bonus Hard setting. 2mo
AbigailJaneBlog @Lauredhel I didn't even think of an adaptation! That has opened my eyes - thank you! 😅😂 2mo

Coronation Year: A Novel | Jennifer Robson
post image
Pickpick

Three people hoping that the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II will help change their fortunes- Edie needs the coronation to drum up enough business to save her inn, capturing the coronation could determine the success of Stella‘s new photography career, and James‘s commissioned painting could help him secure his place in the world. Three easy to root for characters and a mystery that was more silly than suspenseful. A light pick. #fourfoursin23

A Treason of Thorns | Laura Weymouth

Panpan

A sentient house and a girl who loves it deeply and wants to free it from its shackles- sounds like a really interesting story doesn‘t it? And yet I was so bored I found myself skimming to get to the end.

Lauredhel That does sound like a good premise! Shame it didn't pan out 4mo

Three people work together to bring a Nazi to justice- Nina who once flew with the Russian Night Witches, Ian who left his career in journalism to hunt Nazis, and Jordan an American teenager with a new stepmother and dreams of a future bigger than only being a wife. They come from different places but for each of them this quest is very personal. Another great read by Quinn with such strong characters and a story that kept me glued to the pages.

Just realised this not-great book did at least fill a #fourfoursin23 #readingchallenge prompt for me! Betrayal forms a pretty key part of the story, so #TreasonSeason it is.

How are y'all doing? @thebacklistbook @clwojick @thearomaofbooks @lizpixie @AbigailJaneBlog @CoffeeNBooks @ReadingRachael @mcipher @AbigailJaneBlog @PageShifter @Jas16

TheAromaofBooks I was very excited to cross off Kitty Ditty with the tagged book - I couldn't believe it was not just a book about cats, but cats who sang! 😂 I have three prompts left!! 4mo
Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks nearly there! And singing cats? Score. 4mo
Lizpixie I‘ve only got a few prompts left!🙌 4mo

thebacklistbook I'm about 56% done! 4mo
Lauredhel @thebacklistbook that's surprisingly precise for an estimate! 4mo
thebacklistbook My storygraph tracker says 56% done, however I am listening to two audios and reading two physical books that will tick some boxes for it so not sure where it will land when those are done :) 4mo
Lauredhel @thebacklistbook 😃📚🎉 4mo
Jas16 Three prompts left as of today I think. 4mo
Lauredhel @Jas16 too easy! 4mo

Bk7 of #20in4 #readathon & Bk12 of May is done! Wow, have I caught up on my reading or what. Helps that I haven‘t been sleeping much this weekend, pain sux. I loved this book so much. Every character was brilliant(except for DiCOMY & some villagers), the setting was perfect & the romance so sweet. It was the happy ending I needed after the Wayward Children books. Highly recommend.🩵🩵 #FourFoursIn23 #NoBuy2023Bingo #TBRTarot #Roll100 #ReadySetRead

Andrew65 Hasn‘t felt like a Readathon without seeing the big hours you can stack up. Life feels in a better balance seeing this total. 4mo
CBee One of my favorite books!! 4mo
Cinfhen Nice 😊 hope to see you for #GuiltyPleasure 4mo
