Almost done, last book of the yr, no. 82 and it is worth every page! Every character in this book is perfect! I want William to suffer and Aliena to be everything!!!! Who knew building a cathedral could be so full of love and treachery and battle?!

What the River Knows | Isabel Iba�ez

so-so

I‘m a sucker for an Egyptian mystery/adventure but when I heard it was to be a duology, I waited to have the second in hand before cracking this open! Considering that cliffhanger of an ending, I‘m glad! Main character Inez leaves Argentina after receiving a letter about her parents‘ disappearance in the desert. Always longing to join them, she hopes to uncover the truth of what happened to them. Some predictable turns & Inez‘s naïveté soured it.

The Last Magician | Lisa Maxwell

#AllergictoChunksters inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I was determined to get through it because, as you can see, I had slowly collected the rest of the series.

Ugh, I just can‘t do it y‘all. I reached page 100 this morning and called it quits. Turned it into a #ReadORDonate situation. My local library will be getting these to sell or loan out to other readers. #hailthebail

dabbe, julieclair

ChaoticMissAdventures Always so frustrating when we collect all the books and they end up not for us!! 11h

dabbe Time to #hailthatbail! #betterbooksahead 🙌🏻 7h

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures On the bright side, we're supporting the industry we love.

Also, remembering George Carlin on leftovers. “When you put them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving food! And when you find them with hair growing all over and throw them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving my life!“

(Or in this case, your precious reading time!) 5h

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures @willaful So true, but I feel good giving them to our local library. I‘ve donated to them before and they‘re always appreciative. 4h

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @dabbe true facts! 4h

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage just don't rebuy them from the library after you donate. Not saying I would ever do such a thing... 😂 4h

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures I have definitely done such a thing! 3h

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures LOL exactly why I never go to their book sales 🤣 @willaful (edited) 3h

julieclair I think you made two intelligent decisions (like George Carlin!) First, you made a sincere effort (for the second time) to read the first book, second, you made the sensible decision to bail when you realized you just couldn‘t. Plus, you‘re helping your local library and clearing some space on your bookshelves. Win win win!! 🏆👍🙂 60m

Lady of the Rivers | Philippa Gregory

pick

On a lark I've decided to read all 19 of the Plantagenet and Tudor novel series. This first one is a pretty soft pick for me, the characters don't resonate well and the plot confusing (they're in France, they're in England, they're back in France who can even keep up or care) but it did feature tarot cards and common witchery so that redeems it somewhat.
