Thanks @BethM for the nice self-care #CBBC package. The bath bombs smell fantastic ☕️

I loved this book. Beatriz marries Rodolfo Solorzano for security but when she arrives at his house The Hacienda, she quickly realizes that Rodolfo's first wife's ghost never left & she's in a lot of trouble.

Both of these books were rereads, they were fun but The Magician's Nephew seemed like it aged better. It's always nice to revisit Narnia once in a while 🦁

Day 6 of #WyrdAndWonderChallenge #Mythic
I love this retelling of Angrboda and Loki 🧡
@imyril @deargeekplace

Day 5 of the #wyrdandwonderchallenge #5starfantasy Of course I immediately thought of the Lord of the Rings. Here are two of my sets and yes I have more. I started collecting them a while ago 💚
@imyril @deargeekplace

I'm a little late but here is my wrap up for April. I read 10 books. My favorites were: The Priory of The Orange Tree, The Shadow of the Gods & The Color of Dragons 🐉

This is a nice little starter book for witchcraft. I did the audiobook but I probably should have picked a printed version instead. There are lots of little spells try. I especiallyiked the astrology section.

Book mail: @Laughterhp Illusions of Fate arrived and so did my #BOTM box 😺

Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth Be You!

I would like to rejoin #BFC2022 I recently was told that I was getting close to being diabetic so along with trying to eat healthier I recently joined The Lord of the Rings The Conqueror Challenge. Basically it's a LOTR inspired exercise challenge. I've been walking a mile or two on most days but could use some Litsy motivation.
As for books I plan to read at least 6 per month.
@wanderinglynn

Thank you so much @BookBosomed1 I love the jewelry and crystals. I'm looking forward to trying the tea today and the chocolate. I've been really wanting this book. I love sunflowers and your note was very sweet. Have a Blessed Beltane 🌻
#BeltaneBox Thank you for organizing @sprainedbrain & @Chrissyreadit

April's #StarWarsBuddyRead was part 2 in the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy Greater Good. What did everyone think? I enjoyed it but would have liked a little more Thrawn in Thrawn.
Now that it's May we are back to the High Republic era in The Rising Storm.
Also May The Fourth is coming up 💚
And as always May The Force be with you! If anyone would like to join in please do or if you would like stop being tagged just let me know.

I really enjoyed this book. I admit I have a weakness for dragon books. This story takes place before Arthur and Camelot is about how magic came back into the world 🐉
Great pick @Laughterhp for #LMPBC I hope you two @Chrissyreadit and @TheAromaofBooks enjoy it as well.

Here is my #BookSpinBingo list for May 😺
@TheAromaofBooks

I admit I considered skipping this month and getting The Hacienda from the library but The Change seemed to good to pass up. What did everyone else pick from #BOTM for May?

Loved it! There is a prophecy about the Nameless One rising if The House of Berethnet fails so Ead is sent to protect Queen Sabran. In another part of the world Tane is training to become a dragon rider 🐉

I enjoyed about half of this book. I thought it was going to be a deep dive into the different beliefs of paganism but it was really more of an us versus them with the more mainstream religions like Christianity & Judaism. There were also a bunch of discussion questions & meditations throughout the book. Some of those were thought provoking but others seemed rather condescending & most of the meditations were just plain weird.

#ThoughtfulThursday

This is the 3rd book in the Temeraire series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. In this one Laurence and his company leave China & travel through the old Silk Road to Istanbul to pick up 3 dragon eggs for Great Britain 🐉

This was kind of in between a pick & so-so for me. The plot was incredibly predictable & the chosen one's attitude could be a bit much.
Arek, the chosen one has his magic sword, has killed the evil king & taken his throne. Now he needs to soulbond to someone before he turns 18 or he fades away literally.

In book 2 of Thrawn Ascendancy, Jixtus tries to start a civil was among the Chiss while Thrawn is working on tracking down the last of the pirates from the last book.

Darkdawn is the conclusion to The Nevernight Chronicles and its fantastic. In this one Mia and co. go after the Red Church. I love the grit of Kristoff's writing. My favorite character is definitely Mr Kindly Mia's sarcastic shadow cat.
#TheSupernaturalYear #MarkOfCain @AkashaVampie

I mailed my #BeltaneBox today 🌻
@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit

Thank you so much Chrissy @Chrissyreadit I love it. I'm looking forward to reading the books, especially The House In The Cerulean Sea. The coloring book is gorgeous & I love the Star Wars book sleeve & bookmark. The little mushroom box is so cute & I love the crystals. The coffee candle smells amazing. The drip candle looks like a lot of fun & the sign is fantastic. And I'm going to enjoy all the treats 😺

@Avanders

Thanks @BethM I received my #CBBC package today. I love the bad wolf decal. That is really cool. I'm looking forward to trying all the tea and treats 😺
@Mommamanzi #CoffeeBeanBookClub

@Chrissyreadit what I'm guessing is my #SSS package arrived from you today. It wasn't labeled 😺
@Avanders

This one took me awhile to get into but I loved it once I did. A Norse inspired saga following Orka, a shield maiden searching for her son, Varg, once a thrall now a member of the Bloodsworn and Elvar, a Jarl's daughter & member of the Battle Grim 🐉

#DoubleSpin for March @TheAromaofBooks
#NoShameReadathon22 #GrimdarkFantasy @Nessavamusic

This is the second book in the Nevernight Trilogy & it was really good. In this one Mia decides her best way to get to Scaeva & Cardinal Duomo is to sell herself to become one of the gladiatii (think Roman gladiators) & then become the champion of the games 🖤

@Laughterhp

Here are my two books for #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin It's going to be a fantasy month 🐉
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I read 11 books in March. My favorites were A River Enchanted, Nevernight and His Majesty's Dragon 🐉

Today I mailed the first book for this round of #LMPBC to @Chrissyreadit and this month's #CBBC to @Mommamanzi #CoffeeBeanBookClub ☕️
Also my #SpeculativeSpringSwap box went out today. @Avanders #SSS 🛸

In March we finished The Alphabet Squadron Trilogy with Victory's Price. It garnered some mixed reviews but in my opinion it was at least the best of the Trilogy. What did everyone think?
April finds us back with Thrawn in Ascendancy Greater Good. I'm looking forward to this one. I love Thrawn & Zahn's writing.
Tagging those below for #StarWarsBuddyRead If anyone would like to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You!

Here is my list for April's #BookSpinBingo 😺
@TheAromaofBooks

I loved this book. Mia's family is murdered and she sets out to join a group of elite assassins so she can avenge them 🖤

A really good supernatural cozy. Lily moves to San Francisco to open a vintage shop and have a normal life. But of course that doesn't work out and she ends up with a surprise familiar, Oscar, and in the middle of a murder investigation 🐷

#BOTM books for April are live 😺
Here's what I picked. What is everyone else thinking about?

Thank you so much @Nessavamusic for the books and surprises. I've been really enjoying the #noshamereadathon 😺

Thanks for the tag @Slajaunie 😺
1- I'm going to ignore the The and go with The Silmarillion
2- nope
@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

For today's #TarotTakeover I chose The Mist.
It's a terrifying, heartbreaking story about a father and his son trying to survive when monsters start appearing out of a mist that has settled over the world. The movie is actually (especially the ending) more horrifying than the book 🌫
@ErinSueMreads

Thank you so much Jenni @sprainedbrain Let me start by saying the alter cloth is gorgeous & I love the books. The Ostara candle smells fantastic & so does the oil. The necklace is so cute, love the rose quartz & stickers. I plan to spend some time later decorating my alter with the eggs, candles, incense, feathers & dried flowers. The tea & treats will be enjoyed as well. Happy Ostara & Blessed Be 🐇
