My BN birthday mini-haul! I feel like I have to get a short story collection when I shop in person, and this Nigerian-British one is pretty and sounded good!

DYRBB has that sinister techy SciFi vibe I‘ve been digging lately, so I decided on it, too. There were three others that came close but my library had them, so I‘m going to take advantage of that!

Soubhiville Happy Birthday!!! 2d

BarbaraBB Glad you made it to the store! I liked DYRBB‘s cover more than the book itself but chances are you‘ll enjoy it better 🤞🏽🤎 2d
squirrelbrain That cover is amazing! 2d
Megabooks @Soubhiville @dabbe thank you!! 💜💜💜 2d
Megabooks @sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB I didn‘t know you had read it, B. Hopefully I‘ll like it more. It had around 4⭐️ on the storygraph, and usually I‘ll fall within a half star either way of their aggregate. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d
Megabooks @squirrelbrain yes! Both these are #coverlove for me!! 2d

American Royals IV: Reign | Katharine McGee

So in the end, the first book was my favorite of the four, but this was still a satisfying conclusion. There was one plot gimmick that mildly annoyed me (see spoiler), but these books are so ridiculous that I just kept rolling with it haha 100% absurd, shallow melodrama that I totally was into 😂

TheAromaofBooks Having Beatrice wake up with amnesia meant that we literally just had her redo all the growth she had already experienced in the first three books, except compressed into one book. It just felt like McGee had run out of ways to make Bea's life complicated, so she had her start over. I actually would have been totally happy with this book being Bea and Teddy working together happily! 6d

Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leslie Fucking Jones doesn‘t read straight from the print book, but rather uses it as an outline for the audio production. A 300-page memoir does not need to span a very frenetic 17 hours on audio. And I have a pretty foul mouth but, holy shit. These stories get lost in an absolute tsunami of swear words. I have to think the print version is better edited. The best parts were when she cracked up at her own expense. She has the best laugh!

Readerann Thanks for the warning! I recently bought the book, but also had the audio on a library hold. I think I‘ll just read it. 🙉😏 1w
britt_brooke @Readerann I‘d love to know what you think about the print version! 1w

Read this if you want a fantasy take on the refugee situation, an exploration of political manipulation or if you have always wondered what a world populated by myths and legends would look like.

Book One of the Fair Folk series, this romantic fantasy is set in a kingdom that has lost its magic and the Fair Folk Kingdom, bitter enemies and rivals. Fia is a changeling left by the Fair Folk in place of the queen‘s daughter who they stole during a war between the realms and carried to their kingdom ten years before. She has been raised as the queen‘s surrogate daughter and trained as a warrior and wielder of her unique magic. She is tasked 🔻

robinb with entering the fae world to retrieve the kidnapped Eala who has been cursed to become a swan by day, human by night. She journeys with Eala‘s childhood betrothed, Prince Rogan, who is also Fia‘s most cherished childhood friend, and the two spend their nights in the fae realm devising a plan to rescue Eala from the dark fae Lord Irian who is holding her captive. As Fia begins to realize that some of what she‘s been told of the fae kingdom 🔻 1mo
robinb is untrue, she also recognizes that her manipulative “sister” Eala may be hiding ulterior motives from her. Can she truly trust those that she‘s loved as family, or are their plans more nefarious than a simple rescue?
I enjoyed this story especially the almost lyrical quality of the writing which went along well with the fae premise. But I did feel at almost 500 pages that it was a bit long and could have been tightened up a bit in certain 🔻

robinb places. I will look forward to reading more of the Fair Folk series. 4.25/5⭐️ #coverlove 1mo

robinb @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks, Misty. And that cover is beautiful and goes along with the story so well. 1mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
