pickLow pick because Tevari and Avra's relationship was very toxic and it was fairly off putting but the rest was fun. I think the strength of this was Julian and his mission of knowledge for the masses. This was at times funny, seriously weird, and a little bit uncomfortable. It absolutely does not take itself seriously which I think I needed.

I've been struggling for ages to find a cover match for Where the Drowned Girls Go, and I reckon this works! Colour, ocean theming, portal in the middle, etc. @TheAromaOfBooks #Bookchain2025
This entire Teacup Magic series is so enjoyable! It is set in a Regency-ish but more LBGTQIA+ friendly set of islands. >>
pickI didn‘t expect to enjoy this nonfiction YA book. It turned out to be quite interesting! (I listened to the audiobook) Not only does the author go into detail about the history of the ship, but he delves into the history of those who captained it, the pirates who stole it, and many other side stories that related to the Whydah. I love fiction about pirates, so I figured I would give this particular nonfiction title a try, and I am glad I did.
pickThis book is badass and I can‘t wait for more of the nakhudha‘s adventures. “What madness to gaze upon the violent chaos and cruelty of this world and have faith!”
“You must stop being afraid, Nancy. That is the trouble, isn‘t it? You are afraid of leaving me. You are afraid of what will happen if you go back.”

pick3.5/5 ⭐️ This adventure traveled over land and sea and I enjoyed it all. I even shed some tears here and there.
pickThis was an absolute delight of a book with unbridled feral energy. My new comfort read.
I cannot recommend the audiobook enough. The voices are amazing and the narrator gives Avra the right amount of manic, racoon energy that brings him to life.
so-so2 ⭐This book was adorable. Small Saul wants nothing more than to be a pirate. But even after finishing pirate school, he doesn‘t have an easy life at sea. He‘s eventually kicked off his boat when the rest of the pirates realized how good they had it they go back and rescue Saul. While I like this book, I also do not like this book. I love that Saul chases his dream and makes the way he does things work into getting his dream.
Stuffed full of cold and unable to breath so decided to try an audiobook. I'm hoping the unbridled feral goblin energy this book is giving isn't my fever because it's delightful
