I have a doctors appt this afternoon an hour away in the "big city". I'm bringing this book to start in the waiting room. And since I'm there I plan on making a Barnes and Noble stop too.
Here's my December #BookSpinBingo card.
#BookSpin is The Will of Many
#DoubleSpin is When Among Crows
Happy 1st day of the last month of 2023. It's #aardvarkbookclub day! These are my two picks.
#aardvark
Loved Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries. So very excited to read an ARC of the next book in the series. #currentlyreading
Was not expecting December's #botm books to drop today! I added four books to my box.
On to my next weekend read. This one is a science fiction romance and getting some great reviews, so very excited to start it.🚀
It's been snowing a little this morning. Dreary day. Going to liven it up with an ARC of Jenny Holiday's next romance. Book tagline is "He's not fake. He's Canadian."?
pickI liked this one. Though it's another romance that is only from one character's point of view. I would have loved to be in Alex's head. But otherwise it was a very enjoyable workplace romance. The funny parts hit right with serious emotions that had me invested. Glad it was an #aardvark pick.
Now starting a November #aardvark pick, Love Interest.
pickI finished up my ARC of Ruthless Vows late last night. It was lovely, a very satisfying ending to this duology. Rebecca Ross has such a beautiful way with words. The story jumps in 2 weeks after the ending of Divine Rivals. There's sadness in this story, but the characters never despair. They count on each other.
I was able to order the Owlcrate edition of this book as I was reading it. Glad I will have such a beautiful edition.
#audiopuzzling
I found these Christmasy Puzzle Snax at Lewis Drug. They call them "Snax Size" puzzles at 100 pieces. I picked the cupcakes and the ice skating flamingos. Super cute.
I have 3 hours left of this audiobook.
November's FairyLoot is here. It's the new Cassandra Clare. I think I like it without the cover more. The sprayed edges are gorgeous. It's hard to tell but when the book is lying flat on its front cover the sprayed edge is a beautiful cityscape.
I didn't discover this book until after Halloween, but I'm still adding it to my library's collection. I loved the title too much. It'll be there for the patrons next year.🎃
#bookmail
Dark Heir by C.S. Pacat - YA fantasy
Calamity by Constance Day - Science fiction romance
Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan - Paranormal romance
I think I lucked out in getting this ARC. It was up on Edelweiss only very briefly. I guess they didn't mean to put it up there. I was at the right place at the right time. I'm reading it now.😁
Took advantage of Spotify's new audiobook feature on my road trip to visit friends this weekend to start this book. I really like the narrator and I'm enjoying this family drama/mystery story. Five hours to go!
Currently reading the new Ali Hazelwood.♟️
This #botm I've had since 2019 has been staring at me lately, so I finally decided to read it. #currentlyreading
November's #BookSpinBingo board is all set. Hopefully a great reading month.🤞
I read 9 books in October:
Fall of Ruin and Wrath 4⭐️
We'll Never Have Paris 4⭐️
Black Sheep 4⭐️
None of This is True 4⭐️ #BookSpin
After the Forest 4.5⭐️ #DoubleSpin
I'm Your Guy 4⭐️
Mister Magic 5⭐️
The Woman in Me 🎧 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Gentleman's Gambit 5⭐️
Read my October Book Spin and Double Spin, but no bingos.
I ended up with two YA books for my November #botm picks.
pickI read this one pretty quickly. I was very engrossed. I loved the in between chapters of reddit discussions that added to the lore of the TV show, Mister Magic. You can feel the dread and uneasiness as Val slowly starts to learn about the past when she was on a children's TV show. A past she has very much forgotten for good reason. I loved the premise. 5 stars for me.
I haven't listened to an audiobook in a while. Decided I want to listen to Britney Spears new book.
I received the final Brandon Sanderson Kickstarter Secret Project. As usual it came with a pin, bookmark, and sticker. But this time the book also has sprayed black edges. The black against the red is absolutely gorgeous.😍
October's FairyLoot is here and it is absolutely gorgeous from cover to sprayed edges. The only thing I know about this book is there is a lot if hype for it right now.
I'm in the mood for a thriller, so I'm starting this book.
I was correct! Rebecca Yarros just announced the mystery edition is a new Fourth Wing edition with black sprayed edges, a revamped cover, new endpapers, and two bonus chapters from Xaden's point of view. Definitely glad I pre-ordered.
Anybody else pre-order the mystery Red Tower book? I couldn't resist. My guess is it's a new edition of Fourth Wing with sprayed edges and an extra chapter.
October #BookSpinBingo board all set. #BookSpin is None of This is True and #DoubleSpin is After the Forest. Definitely two books I want to read this month.
October #aardvark books are up and picked! I went with three this month.
Let's give this another shot now that I have the full book. 😁
It's #botm time! I went with three this month. I already read a couple of the October picks and add-ons and I'm pretty sure I'm getting another one of them in a different box. I was pleasantly surprised to see Stars in Your Eyes. It was already on my TBR.
