pickThis boy helped me finish up the start to a new (to me) series, and I really enjoyed it! Don‘t remember exactly where the recommendation came from, but I‘m glad it did. Great world building and awesome Persian mythology. I love forbidden magic, forbidden romance, just forbidden everything. And the ending was so wild! I can‘t wait to see where the rest of the series goes.
I got my new shirt! Who else loves a good ferret heist?
pickGreat second book in this series! This one follows Jax and Tycho (my favorite couple) as war is looming and everyone keeps trying to hide their magic.

I'm only here for a bit longer, I'm not going to finish the 20 books I've checked out, BUT I CANT HELP MYSELF 🤣🤣 #tbr #netgalleybacklog
pickOne of the book clubs I run at the library wanted to read the first Harry Potter book last year. Most people in the group are older retired teachers who had never read the book before. They enjoyed the first one so much that our first book club read for 2026 is the second book.
Jim Dale does a great job with the audio. And I enjoyed my reread of this one. I will once again discuss all the issues with Rowling as a person at our meeting, though.

I really tried but at 22% I call it quits. It‘s so much longer and I am not that invested in the story so far. Too many books, too little time 🤷🏻♀️
