I‘m bewitched. Boston 1662. Mary Deerfield is a strong woman holding her ground and fighting for what‘s right.
This is another brilliant book by the master storyteller @ChrisBohjalian

tpixie @Librarybelle Bandette it‘s a great reading buddy! She‘s getting older now so now likes to get up closer to my chest and to sit on the Ottoman. 💗 3d

*I have to read every night before sleep in bed
*Smart, helpful, magical Hermoine Granger. Maybe she‘d take pity on me and magically organize my house and garage 😂
*House on the Cerulean Sea and American Gods
*Foster (tagged), Kindred, Handmaid‘s Tale…
*I need reading glasses but am always losing them🤓

KateReadsYA I added Kindred to my TBR!! 🤗 2w
CatLass007 I have Kindred and Parable of the Sower in my Audible library. I need to bump them up further on my list. 2w
Karisa @CatLass007 oooh, Parable of the Sower is amazing! 2w

CatLass007 I‘ve gotten out of the habit of reading science fiction, which is especially terrible because science fiction is my first love. Maybe I‘ve just branched out to other genres. But I‘m working on having balance in the types of books I read and Octavia Butler is one of the authors I want to include. 2w
Karisa @CatLass007 Me too! I used to only read sci-fi and fantasy but lately I‘ve been more into historical fiction and even nonfiction. It‘s like my reading taste buds have changed, but in my heart, I‘m still a sci-fi person 😂 2w
CatLass007 Absolutely! I‘ve been listening to a lot of urban fantasy and crime books. I thought I‘d expand my interests by participating in #AuthorAMonth, #SundayBuddyRead, and #LiteraryCrew. I loved The Spectacular because I used to live in New York and all of her books take place in NYC Landmarks. I also loved The Bandit Queens and hope to see more books by the author. So many books, so little time!!! 2w
Karisa @CatLass007 Agreed! I‘ll have to check those out! Thanks for the recs! 2w
CatLass007 You‘re welcome. If you read anything interesting, please let me know. 2w
CatLass007 Look on Amazon and order some lanyards for your reading glasses. There are some really nice ones. You‘ll probably end up looking a bit like a little old lady when you move your glasses to your nose, but it will keep your readers handy. 2w

IndoorDame @vivastory this is my first by her, but I‘m definitely enjoying it so far! 3w
CatLass007 I‘m listening to this right now for the #AuthorAMonth challenge. I‘ve already listened to The Lost Man for the same challenge. I really enjoy her work. 3w

IndoorDame @CatLass007 I‘ve been meaning to read her work for years and now I am for #aam, I love how this challenge pushes me to read new authors! 3w
CatLass007 I completely agree about reading new authors. I feel the same way about #LiteraryCrew and #SundayBuddyRead. I think my enjoyment of new authors is part of the reason I‘m now overcommitted to buddy reads. But the only one pressuring me is me. 3w
IndoorDame @CatLass007 😆 I get that! I‘m trying to cut back this year but it‘s tough cause I love them 3w
CatLass007 I‘m doing my best to check more books out of the library via Libby or to read what I already have in my Audible library or physical library. If I must buy a book, I try to at least get it from the local used book store. 3w
IndoorDame @CatLass007 that‘s awesome! 3w
CatLass007 It doesn‘t always work but new things take their own sweet time to become habits. 3w
CatLass007 I have a bad habit to add every book I see to my Audible wish list. I need to start adding books to my library holds, even if I‘m only allowed 20 holds at a time. I have created a tag to remind me to check out books that interest me. 3w
IndoorDame @CatLass007 just started using those tags too. Super helpful! 3w
CatLass007 😁 3w

The Essex Serpent | Sarah Perry

Pickpick

I was initially drawn to this book because of the beautiful cover but luckily it‘s also fantastic historical fiction.
Taking place in the late 1890s, we meet newly widowed, Cora, who is ready to embrace her new freedom and, inspired by Mary Anning, explore the world around her. Tales of a killer sea serpent are at the center of the story. There were so many characters I grew to love.
Read if you like strong female mc bucking the norm.

Librarybelle Thanks for joining! I am very drawn to the cover too! 4w
batsy It's a good one! So glad I read it too. 3w

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin ! I wish I could travel to Essex, but my traveling tends to be vicariously through books and websites. Maybe someday! 4w
