Anybody else doing the Goodreads' Challenges? So far I have collected them all. I had planned on reading Everything is Tuberculosis for the Lightning Round challenge, but I discovered The Hounding counted towards two categories once I finished it. It's really satisfying seeing the bookmarks change from blank to illustrated with the achievements.
Currently reading. This book will collect the final achievement for the Goodreads' Summer Challenge - Poolside Puzzlers.
Stopped at the library to take care of something and my Aardvark books had been delivered. The naked hardcover for Lucky Day is so cool.
August was a little bit of a slower reading month for me. I finished The Wedding People last night and it was my favorite book I read in August.
Not quite the long weekend for me yet; I work tomorrow. But I am starting this book tonight.
September's Allurial Books are out and I ended up getting all 3. I want to read all of them!!
September #botm books dropped! I went with the new Rachel Harrison. And they are doing a special sprayed edge edition of Alchemy of Secrets, so I added that one too. It's my birthday month, so that add-on was mostly free. I just had to pay the $2.99 special edition charge.
Periwinkle and I have been taking it easy the last few days. She had surgery on Thursday - a tumor removed from her chest area and a tooth removed. She's recovering well.🐕❤️
I'm starting this fantasy this evening.
My brother made this for me! Fun way to keep track of books read.😁
I'm back home after a week away. I brought this book to read on the two flights and got 115 pages read. It's...weird. Weird usually works for me, but I'm not sure how I feel about this one yet.
I'm in New Haven, CT with my mom and we checked out some Yale spots today. Here is a picture of one side of their stacks in their amazing rare books library.
Currently Reading. I have an ARC of her next book, but realized I haven't read her last.
Reading the new Holly Jackson for my first book of August. I think this is her adult debut?
I finished 8 books in July. The Knight and the Moth was the standout, but it was a pretty enjoyable reading month for me.
August #botm are here! I picked three - a true crime, a YA fantasy, and a thriller.😍
New in. I forgot I was able to order a signed copy from Barnes & Noble.
Starting First-Time Caller tonight. I have the Owlcrate Romance edition. The sprayed edge says "You are the magic".
Started this non-fiction today. I watched the Prime documentary about these murders last weekend. And then cataloged this book this week and decided I was interested in learning more.
Since my fantasy itch wasn't scratched with my last read, I'm starting another one.
so-soThis book ended up being a very fast read. The margins were ridiculously wide. It probably would have been cut in half in pages if they had done normal margins. Anyway it was a pretty blah book for me. I'll not be continuing the series.
Received my first Allurial box. The box got damaged in shipping, but thankfully didn't damage anything inside. It came with the book, a bookmark, and stickers. I'm happy with the quality of the first book.
I read 45 books January through June. These are my 5 ⭐️ absolute favorite of the bunch.
I have today off for working Saturday. I'm reading the new Sarah MacLean. I really love her historical romances, so curious what she does with a contemporary family drama.
pick❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - the setting, the writing, the characters, the humor. I loved all of this book.
A friend just finished and loved this book, so I decided it would be my next read.😁
It looks like Book of the Month joined the sprayed edge romantasy world with the name Allurial Books. It works like BOTM, where you pick which book you want to add to the box. I'm trying it out and ordered A Forbidden Alchemy.
Delivery today of Owlcrate's quarterly romance box. It's so pretty!
I picked 5 books between July's Book of the Month and Aardvark book clubs.😍📚
#botm #aardvarkbookclub
June is already over!? Well, I finished 7 books. My two favorites were When the Tides Held the Moon and Sorcery and Small Magics.
I'm in be mood for a thriller, so I'm starting this one tonight.
Up next! Such a pretty cover.
Starting Sorcery and Small Magics tonight. And it's another pretty FairyLoot naked hardcover.
This romance has the cutest edges.😍
My nephew is obsessed with making things on their 3D printer. He gifted me yesterday with a book page holder he made.
Aardvark Book Club June books are here. The naked hardcover for The Starving Saints is so shiny.🤩
