Hi, Shelockians~
Sorry for the confusion as to the order of these stories in this last edition. Though originally published separately, we are reading the stories in the order they were first published in the volume titled THE CASE-BOOK OF SH. Above is a pic showing the order of the final last 9 stories. Hopefully, this will keep us all reading the right story at the right time. We're almost there! 😍

Well, my efforts to deny reality aren't working - June is only a week away!!! I have to admit that I'm excited about the longer days and warm evenings. Plus, everything around here is busting out into flowers and it's super happy!! But... JUNE!? 😂

A quick reminder, in June, we will be reading, or as the case may be rereading, Lover Unleashed book 9 in the series. This book is about Payne, Vishous's sister, and Manuel Manello (Manny) the human doctor. I'm sure we will get some of the other characters' stories too. Looking forward to getting back to this world.

It is June soon and that means Pride! To celebrate #QueerBC is encouraging people to recommend LGBTQIA+ books and authors themed around the Pride flag. It‘s interpretive so don‘t worry too much!
For example you could interpret Yellow - Sunlight as a book set in summer, with a yellow cover, grumpy/sunshine romance
You can post however you want, one rec per post, mega rec per post, comment below
Use tag #PrideRec2025

#LittensLoveSJM I wanted to post this early. After we finish the final installment of #ACOTAR, I will be hosting the #TOG series by SJM. Most say it takes a couple books to really get into the world. I will read the prequel novellas only after the first 3 books in the series. I will read Tower of Dawn before Empire of Storms (these books happen concurrently). I‘d love for you to join me starting June 13th!

In the US, summer is bookended by two holiday weekends: Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, and Labor Day, the first Monday in September. 14 weeks.
I challenge you to read 14 books between May 26 and Sep 1, which some of you may remember fondly as #14Books14Weeks.
Show me your stacks!

Summer is here, campers! 🏕️ Thanks to all 71 of you who voted - we have our top 6 books for #camplitsy25!
In June, we‘ll start with Audition, followed by Wild Dark Shore.
I‘ll be back in a week or so with the page breaks for Audition, which we‘ll discuss over the weekends of 7th/8th and 14th/15th June.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for Meg and Barbara who pop up over the weekend with the remaining 4 books!
