pickMy first T. Kingfisher was exactly what I wanted! A new fairytale with clever sisters, daughters claiming their own power, selfless girl friends, and one evil witch - I mean, sorceress, excuse me.
Love that #AuthorAMonth encouraged me to read a new to me author who‘s been on my TBR for too long!
pickMona has a singular magic—baking. She animates gingerbread men and sourdough. Then one day one of the cookies becomes sentient and something like her familiar. The timing is prescient because soon a body is found in the bakery and Mona is accused of the murder. Setting out to prove her innocence, she befriends a street urchin Spindle and together they find corruption and magic genocide. Only knowing baking magic, Mona feels incapable of ⬇️

Very loosely linked to “Snow White,“ but I was reminded more of the show “House.“ Anja is a problem solver more than a healer, awkward and blunt, but deeply committed to saving people with her knowledge of poisons and antidotes. When she's asked to discover what's ailing the King's daughter, she discover a bizarre, often horrifying world far beyond her rational, scientific knowledge.

pickFinished tonight, this was my other ebook on hold for #AuthorAMonth #December #NoraRoberts & when the hold came I started reading a few pages & then got hooked & had finish. I am a fan of thrillers about religious zealots & serial killers & here we have a good combo. It‘s a bit long & as most romances, a bit too buttoned down & predictable, but it kept me turning the pages. Apropos of not much😉this sushi I enjoyed with it last night was ono.😋

Starting Nettle & Bond tomorrow for #AuthorAMonth. It will be my first Kingfisher so I have no idea what to expect.
Picked up The Paris Express after setting it aside early last year. So far I‘m finding it more engaging. Washington I‘m reading a few chapters a day. Liking Mob Queen and Shirley is a bit of a slog so far. Next up should be my library books for TOB26. It feels like it should be a good reading week.
pickRhea, the plucky 15 year old daughter of a miller, finds out that a nobleman she has never even met has asked to marry her. This already makes no sense to Rhea and when she finally meets him she knows something is off. Then she discovers he already has six wives… Fast paced and entertaining but more YA than I was expecting. A light pick for this month‘s
