My most anticipated release of 2024.

Veta Mae read it for the Impling Summoning with the Demonology Professor at Orilium.

Veta Mae also decided to embark on the Lore quest in April since she finished her classes and had some extra time.

Here‘s her stack of books for that. She‘s really excited to continue the exploration in September.

During April I participated in the magical read-a-thon.

My character, Veta Mae changed her Calling to a Scribe and had much more success and more fun.

This stack of books was for my Classes.

Ummm……this is a thing that happened…….

Eeeeekkkk 😆🥰❤️💍

Book haul for the first 6 months of the year….

We‘re headed back to Orilium and Veta Mae has some big decisions to make.

She‘s thinking of changing her Calling and hoping to make a new friend or 2.

Here‘s my March #bookspin and #doublespin picks

So far Murtagh is pretty good.

Meant to post this at the beginning of the month and forgot but these were my February #bookspin #doublespin picks.

I still haven‘t gotten to them but I‘m hopeful to get caught up in March.

I was a little bored at the beginning but in the end I enjoyed this one a lot.

Read for my family‘s book club

Finished another one

Nothing special but not bad

Read for January‘s #doublespin

Look how finished a book….

Really liked this one.

First picks for this years #bookspin #doublespin

I‘m trying out a new list so reading the books doesn‘t feel so much like a chore and I can‘t wait to dive in.

@TheAromaofBooks

Since I haven‘t posted here in quite a while I thought I‘d reintroduce myself.

I‘m Gabrielle. My favorite genres are Fantasy and Historical Fiction. And when I‘m not reading I can be found playing Disney Dreamlight Valley (I‘m addicted) or stocking the shelves at Kroger.

I‘m also 34 today.

This one‘s my favorite in the series so far.

Class - Restoration: Induce Sleep

Prompt- Start a book before bed.

Finally finished another one…..I really do love having my bf read to me. This is my favorite Anita Blake novel so far.

Can‘t wait to continue the series with The Killing Dance.

#bloodybones #laurellkhamilton #bookreview

Best book I read so far this year.

Mid-year check-in

18 books read so far

#midyearcheckin #halfway

I really enjoyed the urgles tale about the dragon and the tale of Murtagh made me more intrigued to pick up his book when it comes out later this year.

I very much enjoyed my time with this one.

#bookreview #christopherpaolini #theforkthewitchandtheworm

And 4 years later she‘s finally finished the series.

Mostly because I took to much time between books and forgot major things this one scraped a 4. Maybe I‘ll reread one day and not leave so much time between books that I forget stuff.

#asongoficeandfire #gameofthrones #got #adancewithdragons #georgerrmartin #finalbook #finalbooksupportgroup

I listened to the entire book at work yesterday. Very enjoyable series I plan to continue the series. Maybe I can finish book 2 during my next overnight shift.

Current Reads. Final books.

#thewinterofthewitch #thewinternighttrilogy #katherinearden #adancewithdragons #asongoficeandfire #gameofthrones #georgerrmartin #currentlyreading

Staying on that trend of continuing or finishing series this year. So far this one‘s my favorite in the series so far.

This will also complete my May #doublespin

#morningstar #piercebrown #redrisingsaga

Highly recommend this one. The first half is difficult but if you can push through it‘s so worth the read.

#homegoing #yaagyasi #fiction #history

Book 13 complete!

This book was great. Super atmospheric. Will definitely be reading more from Ruta Sepetys.

Fun fact: the author and I grew up in the same state of the U.S.

#outoftheeasy #rutasepetys #historicalfiction

Continued the Fables graphic novel. I really like these. Can‘t wait to read the next book.

#fables #graphicnovel

May‘s #bookspin #doublespin list.

I can‘t wait to dive in.

This week is the photo challenge for Orilium and day 1 is to share your TBR.

I have already completed one of the 7 I need and am hoping to complete a second today.

I found the template in the Orilium discord but I‘m not sure who designed it.

Finished my Lore exam yesterday.

This one is also April‘s #bookspin pick

Anne of Windy Poplars is the 4th book in the Anne of Green Gables series. I haven‘t been enjoying the series that much but they have been getting better with each book so I‘ll continue at some point as I do own them all.

Just in the nick of time. Here‘s my #bookspin #doublespin list for April.

Long time no speak….

I‘m still not reading but hoping to be back to it soon. I‘ve big plans for April as my favorite read a thon is back for year 2.

#readathons #oriliumreadathon #readingplans

My life has been taken over by Disney Dreamlight Valley so reading has not been a thing at all for about a week now….That being said I would really like to continue the Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown with Morning Star and complete the A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R. R. Martin with A Dance with Dragons.

#disneydreamlightvalley #redrisingtrilogy #asongoficeandfire #gameofthrones #piercebrown #georgerrmartin #finalbooksupportgroup

That‘s another one finished.

I really wish I enjoyed this one more. In the end I found that I just didn‘t care.

#thehourofthewitch #chrisbohjalian #bookreview

A Nonfiction about the life of Cleopatra.

I love history in general but one of my favorite places to learn about is ancient Egypt. This has a very easy to understand writing style witch is great because personally textbooks turn me off. I did take a break from reading this one and I think it suffered from that a bit.

I will always be on the look out for more ancient Egyptian nonfiction though.

#nonfiction #cleopatra #ancientegypt #stacyshiff

Look at me finishing all the books lol

Nothing to write home about with this one.

#thegirlwhosavedchristmas #matthaig #christmasbooks #bookreview

Apparently this years theme is continuing series….

The Girl in the Tower is book 2 in the Winternight trilogy and it was just as good as the first.

Now to get a copy of the next book so I can finish the trilogy…..

This one also completes January‘s double spin pick

Trying to get back into walking this year and the Levar Burton Reads podcast is one of my favorites to pair with a walk.

Gives me all the feels of the show Reading Rainbow but with stories for adults instead of kids.

#levarburtonreads #podcast #walking

I love the Fable graphic novels. They remind me so much of the Once Upon a Time tv show.

#fablegraphicnovel #billwillingham

First book of 2023 finished.

I had a hard time motivating myself to read this one but then could very easily pick off 50-100 pages when I did actually pick it up. I did enjoy it while reading and the last 100 pages were amazing.

4/5⭐️

A great start to my 2023 reading.
