bailedI prefer Scalzi's more humourous sci-fi. This was my #BookSpin for July. I got a couple of chapters in before I gave up.

pickAt work so I can‘t take a very pretty picture, but I loved this second book—Strange the Dreamer blew me away earlier this year, and I‘m still so, so in love with these characters and Taylor‘s world. I‘d read anything about this cast, honestly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI really like Laini Taylor's worlds. She is very imaginative with gods, and monsters and people.
In this book, Lazlo is an orphan turned librarian fasinated by fairy tales and especially the mythical city Weep that disappeared. He gets the chance to travel to the city in a bid to save it from why it disappeared.
pickSTOP these two were the cutest omg. I had such a good time in this world. Kingfisher really knows how to build the setting without you even really realizing it. I like that I can recognize her writer‘s voice from horror across to this cozy fantasy, and I know I can trust her lol. Anyway, if you like Baldur‘s Gate, read this book.

pickThe story picks up right where the first ended. There's no preamble as the author immerses you in the gritty kingdom of Middren. I liked this book, but it took me a while to finish since it's dark and intense 100% of the time. The main characters aren't exactly likable. I was still invested in them defeating the king.

pickI really enjoyed Warbreaker! The two sisters from Idris were super fun characters. I read on the Wikipedia page that Nightblood, not strictly a sequel, but set in the same universe isn‘t due until 2031 🙃
Both my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books are ebooks, which is a great thing as I'm in the process of packing up all my books. My Boyfriend of nearly 12 years and I have decided to split up. It's heartbreaking, but we are still friends, and this is an amicable decision. I'm converting my office into my bedroom, which isn't big enough for a bed and all of my bookshelves, unfortunately, but it's only temporary. In less than a year, I'll be moving out.
so-soI liked the premise, but I wanted a bit more from this book. The writing could have been a little more polished. There are places where the narrative jumps around between the present and the recent past awkwardly. The family dynamic is fascinating, but the plot line with Jess' girlfriend feels like an afterthought. It just needed to be pulled together a little more.
