This is such a cute, short story. Perfect for cold winter night, too. I absolutely adored getting to know Mama Kingman. All of her kids and her husband talk so lovingly about her, but it was awesome getting to know her a little myself. Bridger was JUST like his boys in this one. In fact, this might be the funniest part of the series (so far at least), just from Bridger‘s metal commentary. I knew I loved that big teddy bear, Coach Kingman! 🤣😂🤣

Definitely in the mood for something more like this right now. If the Kingmans can‘t help me escape football Sundays, I don‘t know who can.

I guess I didn‘t expect this to be a memoir. Still intriguing and helping to block out all of the bleeding football.

I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely worth the read.
#SusanOrlean #TheLibraryBook #ReadingBracket #BookBracket2025 #BookBracket #nonfiction

Yeah, this had to happen. This is my favorite book from this series, which is my favorite series this month… although Brimstone was also really good.
#AmyAward #ThePussyNextDoor #ReadingBracket #BookBracket2025 #BookBracket

This is my favourite book of the series. Adore!

This one is darker than the others, for sure. I liked that they started communicating with each other earlier in this one. The neighbour kid‘s snake sneaking into his house all the time and freaking him out was hilarious! This story runs congruent with the last book, and it‘s cool to see some of the same scenes from different perspectives.

Nothing more ironic than using this series to avoid football. 🤣😂🤣

The Trekkie in me ADORED the nerdiness of this one. Hayes was full of surprises. Willa was awesome. I absolutely adored this one. This one is definitely my favorite so far.

I may have liked this one more than the first one, which I was absolutely not expecting. The amazing narration of Jacob Morgan really cranked it up a notch. Another narrator I love voices the next brother in the next book, so I may just love them even more as we go! Cute story, and I love how Amy Award gets around/abandons the whole “the couple must break up at 80% of the book.”

Two quotes in one, technically.

Also the fault of @julesG … I don‘t think she‘s sorry and neither am I. 🤣😂🤣

Whoops, forgot to post this last night when I finished…
This one has a massive cliffhanger. This one definitely took some unexpected twists and turns, and there are some awesome reveals about Fisher and how amazing his mom was! I can‘t wait for the third book.
FISHER FOREVER!!! (when you get there you‘ll know)

I‘ve had this for 24 hours and 50 minutes… I really want to start it, but I also really need to sleep.
#CallieHart #Brimstone #audiobook #Fae&Alchemy

It‘s though not knowing who stated the fire or if anyone started the fire at all. I like conclusions, but the reality is, like many things in life, we will never know. This book was all over the place and meandering in the best way possible.

I started this Monday while donating plasma. Everything went crazy after that so I totally forgot to post.
#SusanOrlean #TheLibraryBook #audiobook

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I can‘t tell if Parker is a genius for making this all so complicated, or just horrible at telling a story in a coherent way. If your book needs a 22 page glossary that does little to clarify anything, and your reader can go from knowing what‘s going on to completely confused with the turn of a page, you‘ve done something VERY wrong.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Okay, so even on hard I did better than on easy. It‘s the bleeding New England states. Why they bloody hell are they all so tiny?! Jesus people.

#TakeThreeThursday #TTT @dabbe @TheBookHippie

I did better the second time around on medium difficulty. That makes no bleeding sense to me, but sure why not.

#TakeThreeThursday #TTT @dabbe @TheBookHippie

Okay, so I knew I was going to suck at this, so I did the easy version. I identified all the states in 97 clicks! Yay me! I feel like this is good for my track record! lol
#TakeThreeThursday #TTT @dabbe @TheBookHippie

With its mixed reviews, I‘m starting this with a bit of trepidation.
#SarahAParker #WhenTheMoonHatched #audiobook

I loved this book. I loved the world. I loved the characters. I loved friends to lovers with the magical twist. I love how much Halla asks questions when she‘s nervous or uncomfortable. I love her Sarkis loves her from the beginning. This was such a joy to listen to. The narration was perfect. This will definitely be a go to feel good book. I already want to listen to it again.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Started this while donating plasma today. I am so in love with this world and these characters.
#TKingfisher #Swordheart #audiobook

This is so heartbreaking. The intersections of race and orientation do so much to harm Broome and everyone like him. I just wanted to give him the love he wanted so many times in this book. The racism has to go. The homophobia has to go. Children, and all people, should be allowed to be themselves and loved for who they are.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This collection is a pick, even though I averaged only 3/5 among all the stories. It‘s a great introduction to Poe which concludes in his more famous work. The narration is solid and clear. Definitely a Poe fan after reading this collection.

The adventure of it was good. This was written by Steves when he was 23 and it reads just like a privileged 23 year old white man wrote it. It could be written by a well to do white college boy today. It made it really tough to get through, especially since poor Gene was so sick for most of the trip and Rick didn‘t even seem to care. I‘m actually surprised Gene and Rick are still friends after this trip.

This might be the first thing this man has said that is worth sharing.
#RickSteves #OnTheHippieTrail #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor

Maybe it‘s me. Maybe it‘s the current situation. Maybe it‘s just the world of the 70s, but is this guy privileged talking about not worrying about spending money? His parents are at home on their boat in some islands, so he‘s definitely coming off as privileged. Maybe it‘s just me though. Arguing over paying $12 for a mink pelt? Naming it ring worm? He‘s… uh… interesting.

Today‘s first attempt at avoiding the football today.

I had two picks for this month as well. I didn‘t want to pit two spicy books against each other when my January AND February books are also two spicy books against each other, so I made one a wild card.
#AmyAward #TheCockDownTheBlock #EdgarAllanPoe #TheCompleteShortStories #TheRaven #ReadingBracket #BookBracket2025 #BookBracket #fiction

So, I switched one of my wild cards with this month‘s pick “The Ravine” because I didn‘t want to have to decide between it and my other pick from this month (Pageboy) immediately. It may still come to that, but I‘ll have had more time to process.
#WendyLower #TheRavine #ElliotPage #Pageboy #ReadingBracket #BookBracket2025 #BookBracket #nonfiction

I read a lot this month. Anything to avoid the 24/7 sports on TV.
