Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Beautiful 😍 I‘ve never heard of this book! 22h

Eggs @TheBookgeekFrau @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I can‘t recommend enough Hoffman‘s books that feature witchcraft, magic, magical realism, the extraordinary-there are so many great ones! Faithful, Museum of the Extraordinary, Invisible Hour, & so many more 20h

TheBookgeekFrau @Eggs I have to give this one a re-read; it's been over a decade since I read it 16h

Dangerous Angels with Bonus Material: The Weetzie Bat Books | Francesca Lia Block

pick

July #bookspin pick completed. At nearly 500 pages it took a minute to get through as it covers books 1-5 in the Weetzie Bat series. This was a popular series back in the 90‘s & it was one of the first YA books to have LGBTQ characters & to talk about AIDS. As a middle aged woman I am not the target audience and it‘s a bit too hippy dippy for me now but I would have adored it if I read it years ago. I love the LA setting. Home sweet home.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold (Original) | Toshikazu Kawaguchi

pick

I have not read anything like this before, and often that is all I‘m looking for anymore. But this also gives me something to ponder, and I value that too.

Wild Beauty | Anna-Marie McLemore

so-so

Absolutely beautiful writing and I loved the representation. But I didn't love the characters or the story as much as I was hoping to. I am interested in reading more by the author.

August #SeriesLove2025 wrap up.

Yay! Got three books read towards series love. Makes me current with Evanovich, one book left to go in The Weetzie Bat series and of course I just had to start a new to me series with Rocky Road.

Before We Forget Kindness | Toshikazu Kawaguchi

So I‘ve decided to keep a better track of the series that I‘m currently reading, so I can then attempt to complete the series. However, I didn‘t realize how many I was in the middle of. And I say that knowing that not all of them are on this list. This may take a lot more time than I thought, but at least I‘m starting now.

Roary47 I feel you on how many series I have started. I have way more than I want to think about. 7d
