I‘m back! The last three months of my first school year as a student teacher were exhausting, terrifying and overwhelming. I also celebrated my 27th #birthday and I got this lovely pink #paperwhite #kindle. My old kindle was having all sorts of technical issues so it was time for a new one. It‘s a bit bigger than I‘m used to but the speed & light is incredible!

We are at the half way mark with Ship of Magic for #RealmofElderlings buddy read or challenge

Who has started/finished the book?

How are you finding it in comparison to the Farseer trilogy?

Use spoiler tags if necessary!

We'll be reading Ship of Magic through August and then Mad Ship September/October

Everyone is doing great, these are chonky chonky books. I've really enjoyed the buddy read on SG and seeing what people think as the read

Laughterhp Still waiting on my library hold to come in! 6d
willaful I started it but was traveling and found it hard to concentrate. I may just not have it in me for these right now, but I will try again.

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp So unpredictable! Hopefully it'll come soon 6d
PuddleJumper @willaful Understandable, sometimes it's not the right time 6d
kelli7990 I‘m still reading Royal Assassin. I‘ve started Royal Assassin but I‘ve only read the prologue. (edited) 6d
PuddleJumper @kelli7990 I'm going to go back to Farseer trilogy. I much prefer the Liveship Traders and I don't need the misery of Fitz's life right now! 🤣 6d
Luke-XVX Can you un tag me? I‘ve no idea when I‘ll get to these books unfortunately 6d
PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX No worries, I've taken you off the list 6d
Luke-XVX Thanks! Enjoy 5d
Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm a bit behind on starting this one. I had anaesthesia and always struggle to get back into reading afterwards. 4d
PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile That's very understandable! There's no rush 3d

A Pirate's Life for Tea | Rebecca Thorne

Mehso-so

This book got way too bogged down in the main characters trying to match make and it felt really forced and if I was one of the poor people they were targeting it, I‘d be really irritated. When the story finally got going it was good.
Two childhood friends must discover what paths they want to take, if they want to be romantically involved and how they can help their community.
2/5 stars read for too much forced romance too little pirating

Read this over 4th of July weekend, finally posting. Loved it, Ms Beverly always hits the mark. Sexy and captivating (see what I did there?), her characters are authentic and jump off the page.

#mentalhealthmonday

I do the stuff my anxiety normally prevents me from doing. Eg. On Sunday I installed and used the vacuum system that came with my car that I got last year. Every time I looked at it I‘d freak out, afraid I‘d mess it up, etc. But after the incident with my son on Thursday (see previous post about 2 down from this) I must have needed to show myself I could still control something. :)

Tagging @CBee

Y‘all…whew. This built me up, ripped me apart, then stole my heart, then stomped on it, then I loved again and swooned. Just aaaaalllll the feelings and emotions. Would recommend.
