My Christmas present to myself finally arrived. I can‘t wait to dive in

#bookhaul #night #ElieWiesel

Continuing in the world of Mercy Thompson for the start of 2022. This one is a reread but I love this series and I can‘t wait for the newest installment, Soul Taken, out June 21st

#currentlyreading #patriciabriggs #mercythompsonseries

I didn‘t post my list this month but here‘s what I‘ll be reading for January‘s #bookspindoublespin

Bookspin: Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery

Doublespin: His Majesty‘s Dragon by Naomi Novik

@TheAromaofBooks

12 priority reads for 2022.

Can‘t wait to dive in.

For Advent I attempted to read some Christmas and wintery books but these were the only ones I finished. My goal was a book every 2-3 days but I ended up with lots of work stress that required a nap instead of read time every day after I got home…..

Frostheart was definitely my favorite read and The Christmas Pig was really cute.

My sister picked this one for our family book club and it was amazing. I highly recommend it.

I love having a book club with my Mom and Sister. Best idea ever! I‘m excited to see what we pick up in 2022.

Another one I read during my first hiatus. A friend and I tried to start a book club together but changed it to a game night so we could include our partners in the fun.

While I‘m currently sitting in the camp of the movie was better I‘m excited to continue the series in 2022.

During my first hiatus back in September/October I binged the Order of Darkness series by Philippa Gregory. The first book is Changeling but I was able to get bind up with books 1-3 a few years ago and then just never picked up a copy of the final book, Dark tracks.

While this series is not Gregory‘s best work I still enjoyed my time in this world and she is still one of my favorite authors of all time.

Book and tea selections from yesterday and today

Yesterday I read a cute story about a magic reindeer and tried to have some earl gray tea (S will be enjoying the rest of that).

Today I‘m enjoying a story about a magic kitten and drinking another cocoa tea.

#clearurshitreadathon

Book 2 for #clearurshitreadathon complete

Prompt: Smallest Book

Finished my first book for #clearurshitreadathon

Prompt: Shortest Book

Hey y‘all. I‘ve been gone a while but I‘m working my way back.

For the end of the year I‘ve decided to participate in the #clearurshitreadathon happening now through the end of December. Instead of sharing a TBR though I‘ve decided to mood read and fit the books I finish into the prompts.

I‘m definitely looking forward to the end of the year, are you?

Thanks for the tag @Zuhkeeyah

1. My night stand is a bookcase so there‘s a lot. About half I have read and the rest are my currently reading or on my upcoming tbr

2. I just want to read. Numbers aren‘t important.

3. Philippa Gregory and Patricia Briggs

4. Having a job. As much as I may dislike it there are plenty of people who don‘t have one.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

Going to be participating in #bookoplathon too and managed to get everything but one book from my #magicalreadathon TBR on this one

Currently reading

It‘s supposed to be a buddy read ubut I haven‘t been reading much. Oh well, what‘s a girl to do? 🤷‍♀️

My favorite read-a-thon is back and I‘m so excited!

Here is my TBR for September‘s edition, my TBR specific to some character traits, and version one of what my character might look like (I‘m sure this will change as I take more time with her).

#magicalreadathon #magicalreadathon2021 #orilium #oriliumthenovicepath #oriliumreadathon

This was a great end to the series

I highly recommend the whole series

For a final book and a supposedly big important battle it was a bit disappointing. Still the series as a whole is pretty good.

So far this was my least favorite. That being said I am excited to start A Dance with Dragons.

Going to do a 24 hour read-a-thon by myself this weekend. I‘m planning to work on these. Really want to finish A Feast for Crows 🤞

Really excited for this list of books

#bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Headed to Vroengard home of the Dragon Riders

Everything I‘ve read so far this year

Goodreads says I‘m 10 books behind but I‘m not stressing I‘m enjoying most of what I‘m picking up.

#midyearcheckin #allthebooks #halfway

Just checking in with how the readings going so far

#midwaypoint #halfwaythere

July #tbr

Here‘s to hoping I can get almost caught up on my reading goal….

June #wrapup and #currentlyreading

Here‘s my #bookspin list for July

Still working my way through some collections of plays but glad to be making progress

@TheAromaofBooks

I‘ve not got much to say in this one. I actually wasn‘t able to figure out who it was till right before you‘re told but I felt pretty meh through the whole book. I had no feeling for any of the characters so I just didn‘t really care.

Really enjoyed this one. Picking up the next one soon (I just have to go buy it…)

It‘s lunchtime. Let‘s read!

#currentlyreading #bookclub #buddyread

More buddy reads this month. My usual with my mom and sister and a new one with a long time friend.

#buddyreads #currentlyreading

Some new to me books on my radar that I‘m really excited for

#newbooks #neverendingwishlist

June TBR

I threw in a couple extra so we‘ll see how this goes.

#clearurshit #tbr

Participating in the clear ur shit read-a-thon this month.

Read this one real quick today for the prompt Bells (a comfort read)

My favorite book as a kid.

#clearurshitreadathon

Finished my #doublespin book today. It‘s good but I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I remember enjoying it the first time I read it.
