I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

AmyG Oh yum to the spicy gummies. 12h
InkedBookworm13 @AmyG yes! They were Tajin covered gushers. My kiddo got the taking covered needs clusters. Both were really good. 👌 9h

Finished this (as well as One Dark Window) in the last 24 hrs. Both are excellent! I listened to this one, and the narrator was great. Out of the two, I liked One Dark Window more. Both are great!

Bailed at 25% when it became apparent that there are no swashbuckling lady pirate adventures here, just a below average bodice ripper that happens to be set on a pirate ship.

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi | Shannon Chakraborty

Shannon Chakraborty has announced the next adventure for Amina al-Sirafi! The first book was a blast, and book 2 sounds great, with the author saying she is “attempting to write a book about a medieval mother‘s attempt at work-life balance.“ 😋 Due May 2026

lil1inblue 🤩🤩🤩 I love her books. 3d

I last saw the movie as a teenager and only more recently realized it was based on a book. I liked the movie from what I vaguely recall. So I was surprised to find I absolutely loved this. It is utterly ridiculous and packed with adventure. This was honestly the most fun I‘ve had reading in quite some time!

vonnie862 I love this edition! 5d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! This is one of the few instances where I like the movie more than the book, but I still found the book delightful. 4d

This is another one I'm calling a soft pick.

I did enjoy it overall, but the pacing could have used some work, and the characters absolutely could have been fleshed out more. Nonetheless, the story was still compelling, and the magic system was intriguing.

I enjoyed it enough that I did pick up the second book, but I probably won't start it for a while.

ElizaMarie I tried this one a couple time (chapter 1) on audio and I couldn‘t get into it. The reviews make me think it‘s gonna be a great story but not for me. I‘m sitting out this month 2w

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?
