so-so2.5⭐This is unfortunately a book that I wanted to like more than I actually liked it. The premise was cool but poorly executed. I wanted to know more about the Death Oracle powers and the rich fey world that is hinted at, but instead I got bland, barely there descriptions. It was entertaining enough to complete on audio while doing chores, but just a couple weeks later, I don't remember how it ended because it didn't resonate with me.

#audiosewing project done. A cross-body-bag, made from the recipients favourite pair of jeans (she outgrew them last year), that does not have the usual bum bag look.
Spoiler free: Harry has to help the Queen of Winter. As always things get out of hand soon and definitely not according to plan.

pan1.5⭐The only reason I finished this book is because it was for book club. The world is fascinating but Dresden is a chauvinistic ass. I've been told he gets better after book 3, but I have no interest in trudging through more books to find out.
pickThis was way out of the norm for me, but I ended up liking and and couldn't put it down for the last few chapters.
Devon is a young woman who comes from a line of people who literally eat books and retain the knowledge therein. Girls tend to be fed fairy tales and boys eat adventure stories.
Females are scarce so they are married off in hopes that they will give birth the girls.
When Devon has a son who is a Mind Eater things turn dangerous.
There's a b-day coming up. I'm making a bag. Definitely a labour of #Love, because I got bias tape and absolutely hate sewing bias tape to anything.

pickThis is a quiet, melancholy vampire story and so descriptive! You can close your eyes and just visualize ALL the details. I‘m glad I finally got around to this one and it was delightful on audio. I didn‘t realize it was written in the 70‘s and that it is the first in a series. I‘ll probably pick up the next at some point.

pickI LOVED this dip back into Kate‘s world. This novella takes place several years after Magic Triumphs and Iron and Magic, but a few years before Blood Heir. Kate, Curran, and Conlan are settling into Wilmington and trying to lead a quiet life, but we all know that‘s not going to work. The only thing I disliked (ok, I wanted much much more) was that the pages of my copy were stuck together in several places and had to be torn apart. Frustrating.
panI was excited to read from Dracula‘s wife‘s perspective.But it definitely didn‘t give me what I‘d hoped for. The plot was almost nonexistent and the main character that was supposed to be Dracula could have been anyone. It didn‘t have any of the same feelings that Dracula had. Don‘t get me wrong. The prose is beautiful and atmospheric. There just wasn‘t any substance behind it.
