Completely redid my #bookspin list this month in the hopes to get some more numbers read than in the last two. I am excited! @TheAromaofBooks

North Woods is my favorite kind of story; it floats liminally between ghost story & not.
As a MA native who became a devotee of apples while pursuing her Lit degree in VT, I was predisposed to like this.
It‘s a fully immersive reading experience. Mason flaunts his ability to inhabit different voices - not just gender, age, or sexual identity but era & time, even species & kingdom. Come for the gorgeous prose. Stay for the sexy dragonfly erotica.
This was such a brilliant fantasy. The world building was phenomenal & the storytelling was thoughtfully paced. It was so interesting following Kai's quest to find answers in the present, balanced by the story of the past which revealed more & more of his and the world's origins.
This book was on my radar but I was hesitant to dive into such a sprawling fantasy. I'm so glad Sarah put it on her #ALSpine list, which encouraged me to pick it up!
So thankful to Julie @RebelReader for putting this on her #ALSpine list, as it gave me the push I needed to finally read it! Loved this story about Lakshmi and her family, both blood and found. I‘ve always been fascinated by the art of henna and appreciated the glossary (and recipes!) at the end.

I‘m now caught up on my January read posts. 🤓
I like Colgan‘s books and this wrapped up this series nicely. Another series completed.

I was happy to return to the Christmas Bookshop and all of the fun, quirky & caring characters.

I have read this slow. Tried to take some time each day, on the train, during lunch, in a quiet minute after dark, or hidden away in a bathroom-stall in the place where I work. This got to me. But in so many different ways. And I learned more than ever, that you read differently in every different (head-)space.
Thank you again for chosing this @JamieArc

This YA fantasy has pirates, witches, mermaids, and so many diverse characters. The novel follows a few character arcs including Imperial born Evelyn, orphaned non-binary Flora/Florian, and a pirate, Rake. We also get interludes from The Sea. I adored the writing in this book, the diversity, and the interesting lore. 4/5!
Thank you, @shortsarahrose for recommending this for #auldlangspine #alspine I look forward to reading more from your list!!
A much better reading week for me last week. Several books I just loved!
