pickI've been a big fan of smaller books lately and this read was perfect. Despite its smaller size, it contains an intense amount of world building that left me shocked at how much the universe of the story had developed in my mind. The way this story dealt with the complexities of trauma, unhealthy relationships, and existential crises was incredibly nuanced and made for an interesting read.
pickInhaled this book in one day as i found it so interesting. However im not sure its going to stay with me. The form is that of a notebook being passed from one person to the next so you dont stay with any one character for long. In a future world a nanite technology recreates all your human cells so that you can survive a terminal illness. But are you still human? Do you still have a soul and does it wish to remain forever in this ⬇️
pickThis one is a low Pick due to it taking forever to get going & nearly not capturing my attention at all before it finally moved the plot on. Sister witches wanting different things from life, curses, witchcraft paranoia, heartbreak, betrayal & forgiveness - this was actually a cracking, if slightly lowkey, read. Evocative writing, some interesting symbolism, and strong, capable, independent women at one with nature & their own worth. Nice.

pickFirst novella in a fun Sci-fi trilogy with a dash of romance.
There is a heist. And, without spoiling too much, neither Ada nor Rian are what they pretend to be.

pickNight Watch is a brilliant novel that offers far more than just a fun fantasy read. It's a deep and thought-provoking exploration of duty, justice, and the power of individual choices. Pratchett uses the Discworld setting to shine a light on the human condition, with all its flaws and triumphs, making this book one that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page...
pick4⭐This is Beth Rivas at her best. This is a fun space romp adventure that manages to pack a ton of action and intrigue into a very small space. The book is not a romance, but has romance in it that makes all readers want to continue flipping the pages. We start with a salvager who is in distress and puts out a help call to another ship. She‘s picked up by the rescue ship and becomes a temporary member of their crew to help with the current mission
so-soWhelp, that was a weird little trip.
Although nicely written, this book is a bit of a clusterfuck of sci-fi and questioning humanity and human existence. I listened to the audio book, and though it was engaging, I definitely found myself wondering “What‘s the point of this book”. Maybe I‘m not in a place to appreciate it right now, but it was a 🤷♀️ for me.
