I read the Summer War last night. It's short and lovely and I read it in one sitting. It's very much a fairy tale told by the youngest of three siblings. All three children are very much involved in this story. I enjoyed it very much.

Also this book finished my goodreads reading challenge.😁

TheBookHippie I loved this book! And congratulations! (edited) 16h

Comfort Me With Apples | Catherynne M. Valente

This has been on my TBR forever and it‘s just so right up my alley I‘ve gotta get to it either by the end of the year of beginning of 2026! I mean I just know “Arcadia Gardens” must be creepy and diabolical from the description on page 2 of the HOA only allowing colors like Purity, Innocence, and Mother‘s Milk to be painted lmao.

Non-book related, HEB had the BEST (Envy) apples this year!! Yum😋

A boy has an innocent crush on a grocery clerk. He buys sandwiches daily just to see her, until classmates call her a “freak,” mentioning botched facial surgery. Shaken, he stops visiting, though he keeps drawing her. Lonely and unsure, he‘s nudged by his friend Tutti to face his feelings and seek the quiet connection he misses. A cute novella.

This was my #DoubleSpin for November, and I'm glad I finally read it. I'm now caught up on the #Outlander books and am only awaiting the final season of the show and the final book in the series. Perhaps I'll try something from the “Methadone List.“ But first, I need to read my #BookSpin book for the month.

I cannot recommend The Murderbot Diaries enough. So. Much. Fun. And the narration by Kevin R. Free is perfection.

Twins Jack (Jacqueline) & Jill (Jillian) find themselves in a strange land in book 2 of McGuire's Wayward Children Series, read by the author. One decides to stay in a mansion with the master, while the other leaves to learn science. There is a reveal approximately halfway through the novella which I won't spoil, but I feel added an additional sinister layer to what to that point had felt like a fairy tale. I will say that this is a novella (Cont)

vivastory that could have easily been turned into a full length novel. I'm not sure that I think it seriously suffered due to not being a novel, but there was a lot of world building present set alongside some dark ideas and throw in messy sibling dynamics. A pail of water pick!

2✨ This book hurt. We have a demon that loves her city that is destroyed. An angel helps her rebuild, but more happens that caused my personal heartache. It is short in jumps through time a lot because of that. Then it hurt. 😭 #FableBR @Littlewolf1
