I just voted in the Goodreads Choice Awards. I‘ve only read 3 of the books.

A Well-Trained Wife - I enjoyed this one. I read it as an ARC for St. Martin‘s Press.

The Spellshop - I read this one with the #whimsicalreadsbookclub and I enjoyed this one.

Of Jade And Dragons - I read this one with the #whimsicalreadsbookclub. This one was just okay. I don‘t feel like I want to read other books in the series.

The Sugar Queen | Sarah Addison Allen

Josey waits on her mother hand and foot, until one day a woman in town starts hiding out in her closet, and discovering Josey‘s secret stash of junk food. Della Lee, the closet lady hiding from her abusive boyfriend, encourages Josey to discover herself and love. Meanwhile Josey befriends Chloe—whose unusual magic means books appear from nowhere, giving her their own advice on her decisions (who doesn‘t want to be Chloe!). So much magic, ⬇️

Texreader obvious and not so obvious, threads through this book and especially at the end. I‘ve always enjoyed Allen‘s magic realism books but this may be my favorite so far. #authoramonth @Soubhiville 4h

Freya, born with the blood of a protection goddess in her veins, is pulled into a fight for a kingship beyond her understanding. & her only ally is her new husband‘s very attractive & charming son.

This had a lot I liked. Fantastic scene setting, absolutely fascinating magic systems & interpretation of children of gods. However, I could not care less about this romance, which made everything else w/ these characters feel flat. So, YMMV.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I intended to take just a teensy poke at SHADOW BARON before bed last night, then ended up devouring 17%. The onemorechapterness is real.

Now I‘m gonna dive into another big chunk while wee Geo and I wait for his mom to get home from her vacation. We‘re trying to enjoy this precious snuggle time instead of focusing on how basically everything in this picture is in greyscale. My kingdom for a colour ereader to showcase this vibrant cover.

This was fun…and I learned that my nephew and his mom are reading the series, too. Should I continue?

This was an adorable read about a librarian who ran from their burning city back to the country island she was born on. Caz has my entire heart and attention. Keila‘s growth back into an island girl didn‘t feel as smooth as I thought it would, that and the varying pacing are probably my only “problem”. This was just so cute. I laughed out loud more as the book went along. Larran is an incredible person; choosing kindness over everything else. 🪴

Audio. Wow. This book went hard. I enjoyed this more than the second one. Felt a bit repetitive; hoping Amari would learn to work as a team. It‘s slow going growth, but still growth. This book really showed the war between magicians and magical world took on a new level. Many times I felt my jaw drop from being surprised at what I just heard. Mainly for how insanely dark it got during the second half.
