Book Club discussion WITH the author tonight (5/2025), via zoom!

This was such a sweet tale of Elizabeth and Darcy with witty banter and a flirtation that leads to so much more! Darcy isn‘t one not to converse with those he doesn‘t know well, instead he‘s more forthcoming. Even Anne and Georgiana are more confident. There were several paraphrased quotes from P&P!

I highly recommend for any #PemberLittens

Lovin‘ this trilogy series!!! Lots of twists and turns and dire consequences for the main characters. Has me on the edge of my seat wanting to find if everyone will get what they desire before time runs out.

Listening to the #audiobook on #hoopla!

BookLove4Ever I‘m reading it too! I can‘t wait to read Finale. ❤️ It‘s so good! 4d
CrowCAH @BookLove4Ever OMG I AGREE!!! I literally just finished Legendary. I think I‘ll listen to a couple other audiobooks to come down from the high before I start Finale! I know it‘s gona be an emotional roller coaster! 4d
BookLove4Ever @CrowCAH I had to take a break too, so many books to read! I can‘t wait to dive back in. 3d

I‘m so glad I was able to re-read this Jane Austen classic! It‘s been years and was a delightful listen! Henry Tilley calls Catherine out so many times for her overactive imagination and jumping to conclusions based off of her reading novels! Austen did a great satire on the Gothic novels of her time!

I finished ahead of the #JaneAdjacent readalong and am prepared for Victorian Book Club‘s discussion early next month.

I‘m reading this from my April #ReadYourKindle challenge.

It‘s a shorter story, but still sweet and well developed. A sea pirate is trying to retire on land. While she a Scottish lass is trying to do her duty by her family all the while wanting so much more from life.

Finished this #audiobook and I‘m intrigued enough to continue the series! The ending had a lot of action and unexpected twists and turns. In a sense this was a slow book, not a lot of action, it was more an “in your head” type of story with lots of questioning and thought process by the main character. I‘m rooting for Scarlet and Julian! ☺️

The last chapter, again, in Xaden‘s POV - no spoilers!

Another engaging tale! Some unexpected things happened that will be interesting to see how they play out in the series books to come. I‘m still shipping Xaden and Violet!

Though I‘m probably going to have to wait awhile before the Graphic Audio comes out for Onyx Storm. I will not listen to the normal audiobook; I need Gabriel Michael as Xaden‘s voice! 😉

I very much appreciated the world building of both land and sea kingdoms. Of course, I like the sea fae and pirates 🏴‍☠️ better! Their voices each hold a song that can either aid or harm someone. The ship was totally giving me Flying Dutchman vibes from POTC, because it could “sail” beneath water! And I admire that Erik, the Ever King, once he earned Livia‘s love and he gave love he didn‘t do a 180, he kept most of his ruthless pirate badassness!

This book was okay, easy read, everything gets resolved, HEA. Some of the dialogue was hokey, it was trying to hard to be funny. The author tried to channel Wesley from The Princess Bride. I could have used a little more world building, especially with the pirate bard being part fae, it was more a fact than part of his character. I appreciated the memory loss being curse bound and fixable. Little dragon action, would have liked to know more.
