Think I‘ve entered my cozy mystery era right in time for fall. Both books were fun and easy to relax and immerse yourself into. Shady Hollow had a slower pace and less threat to the main character, so a little more cozier vibe. Definitely going to finish both series

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Red Rising has been on my tbr list for years and I finally got round to it. I like the premise, the storyline, the characters. Occasionally I feel it‘s a bit slow and this book could be half the size and still as good. I‘m looking forward to starting the next in the series. #fantasy #apocalypse #4stars #series
pickGood but not great. Interesting questions arise in this magical realism tale. Mysterious strings foretell the length of adults‘ lives. 8 characters react to this strange event, but it took me 150 pages to care deeply about them. Setting was underutilized. Author uses a politician to highlight parallels between the strings & real world evils like ableism. Maura & Nina navigate love & fate. Good book group material. #4stars #theme #magicalrealism
pickwas so obsessed. i did get nervous about the negative reviews but i can‘t see anyone hating this. had me hanging on every word.

pick“Getting Ready for Christmas: A Daily Advent Prayer & Activity Book for the Family” from Concordia Publishing is a cute little prayer book one can use before opening the advent calendar gifts. Wee Boy‘s Godmother gifted it to us 2 years ago. I don‘t usually use it with a LEGO calendar, lol, but it was on sale & mama is tired this year. #advent #prayers #4stars #kidlit
pick#4stars - The settings of the River Gypsies and the Politicians were interestingly written about; just enough details and nuances. The political privilege of the Stanford family was skilfully expressed by Avery and gave me thoughts to ponder. I got attached to Rill & Avery and was intrigued by the plot as much as I was appalled by the historic events behind Rill‘s struggles. #siblinglove #adoption #heartwarmingending #BAnQ #2020Josee
pickNow that entire India is on lockdown for 21 days. I am planning the 21 books 21 days challenge to cope.
Day 1 reading: Loved it, but felt the chemistry b/w feyre & tamlin to be shallow, case of insta love? Preferred Rhys or even Lucien to tamlin. Rating: #Borrowgrade #4stars

pickMy latest buddy read was this beauty! A great blend of sci-fi and fantasy, a slow-burn romance (always the best!), with deceptions, plots and secrets! 💛 And just look at that gorgeous Fairyloot cover! 😍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

so-soThis one was a very fast listen. Kept me interested but I can‘t say it was mind blowing. It changed pace quickly toward the end and had me thinking “did she really just say that?” a few times. Overall I rated it 4 stars. #audible #audiobook #mystery #booknerd #4stars
