Blood Over Bright Haven | M. L. Wang

pick

Standalone Dark Fantasy with heavy topics - colonialism, exploitation, racism, misogyny, religion.

The world-building, including the magic system, was excellent.

Two MCs who clash and get along, growing through their time together.

5feet.of.fury I loved this one! It was so well done 11h

Needed a drink… only 6 chapters in and I‘ve already bawled my eyes out three times for the MC. Reading fiction really does teach us empathy… how my heart broke for him 😭

The Will of the Many | James Islington

Chadstone Readings had a James Islington signing today - Chadstone, being the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere, is normally a place you wouldn‘t find me BUT I hadn‘t realised that James was Australian AND I‘m aiming to get to a million steps for the walking challenge I‘m in (& the advantage of walking means avoiding the carpark).

I spelt my name for the cashier & didn‘t realise I‘d gained an E until after I‘d joined the line 😝

LeeRHarry I saw this event and thought Chadstone no thankyou. Shame he‘s not doing more events elsewhere. Good for you braving the crowds. 😊 2d

CarolynM OMG, the Chaddie car park 😱😱😱 The whole place is horrifying😵‍💫 2d

CarolynM Nice book, though. 2d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LeeRHarry, right?! The crowds were horrible! But I‘ve found that‘s true of all the big shopping centres now, people wandering through them instead of parks? I don‘t see the appeal myself but then I worked in a shopping centre for 7 years. He‘s from Mornington - he totally should be doing more events! Maybe when book 2 comes out? 1d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, I feel like I venture to Chadstone once every 5 or years. It took me 2 hours to walk there and not having to find my car in the car park when I was ready to leave was such a relief! (I forgot what entrance I came in tho - which is an amateur error). I‘ve heard good things about the book… it‘s so chunky tho! (edited) 1d

My #CosmereBuddyRead peeps- I am literally screaming!!!! I had 7 hours on a round trip train ride for a quick DC trip so I accidentally finished this. Screaming. Just Wow. Pro tip- don‘t start part 5 until you are ready to read it in one sitting. I couldn‘t stop. I have sooo many thoughts and cannot wait for the ending discussion. I ❤️ Kaladin. That‘s it. It gets all the stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heir of Fire | Sarah J. Maas

This book is so much better than the second in the series, and reminded me why I enjoy SJM. Such a rich depth of character building, from the ones we know the least right up to Celaena. Celaena really processes a lot of grief in this story, and comes to terms with who she really is — in a lot of ways, it‘s her coming of age. Meanwhile, plots and secrets churn all around, with an explosive ending that held lots of surprises. Keen to start the next!

I‘ve been wanting to start this series, but when I went to the bookstore last week they only had book 2 and 3 of the first trilogy in stock. So, I ordered book 1 😁

Royal Assassin: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

Here‘s my progress on #realmofelderlings. I started the tagged book this month. I‘ve only read the prologue but it was good. Will I make more progress? Eventually.
