One of the perks of working in a library is getting my name on hold for a book early. But also, not surprising, the holds are growing behind me, so I'm reading it immediately. Halfway through and this books is devastating.

I finished 7 books in January. I usually only read a couple non-fiction a year, so I've already hit my quota! Just kidding, I don't know if I'll keep it up, but I already have another non-fiction checked out from the library that I want to read.

Since I worked yesterday, today is the first day of my three day weekend. The plan is to stay in as much as possible because it is ridiculously cold outside. The current 'feel like' temp here is -27°. And tomorrow is supposed to be even colder?.
I'm also starting another non-fiction. This time it's Brooke Shields' new book.

ChaoticMissAdventures Ohh no! I have been upset that my current feels like temp is +26. I can't imagine. 2mo

I'm a Saturday Librarian today. This morning I'm working on adding these books to the library's collection.

We do not have any copies of Onyx Storm yet, but I see one shipped out to us from Ingram last night. We probably won't get it by Tuesday's pub date, but a day late isn't too bad.

This was a very OK book for me. I like the author's writing style, but the story just wasn't fully grabbing my attention after a 1/4 in. It even featured a really unique magic system. I honestly had high hopes for this first read of 2025, so a little disappointed.

My reading challenges are all set in goodreads and StoryGraph. I took @ChaoticMissAdventures suggestion and added a pages goal since I'm hoping to read fewer, but longer books. Also looks like goodreads has added some fun monthly and community favorites challenges.

Private Rites | Julia Armfield

I decided my reading goal for 2025 is to focus on reading my physical collection. I have so many books in my little apartment. This shelf alone is two deep.

Also, even though I read 100 books this year, I'm going to set my reading goal on goodreads and StoryGraph to 80 books. I'm hoping that will encourage me to read some of my thicker books that take more time.

ChaoticMissAdventures This is why I love the page length challenge. I met my book goal in like September/October but just met my page goal last week! 3mo
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I love your shelves! I feel the same. I need to read down my physical books before I look elsewhere and there are some chunksters in there. 3mo

This was pretty good. Interesting worldbuilding and fun characters. I like banter, but this book was bordering on too much for me. I also felt like the middle part dragged. Maybe because I was waiting for the heist part of the book, which doesn't come until the very end. So soft pick and I do plan on picking up the next book when it comes out.

Brilliant. Loved it. Set in the 1920s after the first World War. Clover discovers there is magic in the world when her older brother returns from the war hurt from a faerie curse. Her need to fix that curse and her own love of scholarship brings her to Camford, a magic academy. There she meets a group of young scholars that give her both friendship and danger. Parry did a great job of mixing historical fiction and fantasy.

I did it! Read my 30th BOTM in 2024. This suspense was alright. The main character was hard to like as he was willfully blindful towards a certain person and mean to others. But I liked the setting and atmosphere. 3 stars.
