For February my top book was Empire of the Vampire. But it didn't quite beat out Psyche and Eros 💜
#TopRead2024
#ReadingBracket2024
In February we read From A Certain Point of View The Return of the Jedi. I enjoyed the stories, especially those at Jabba's Palace. What did y'all think?
In March we catch up with Cal Kestis and his Mantis crew. This one should be good.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀

I read 13 books in February. My favorites were Empire of The Vampire, The Fox Wife, Relic and Blue Labyrinth.
For #ReadOrDonate I plan to donate both Beneath the Shine (which I didn't read) and Spare & Found Parts (which I did read). @julieclair
@Moonprismpower How did your February go? Mine was pretty good 😺
I love this book. This is the first of the Pendergast novels. A monster goes crazy and starts killing people in a museum. The monster's reveal at the end is one of the best.
Also I've dnfed about 5 books this month and needed a palette cleanser. This book worked perfectly 💚

This was a fantastic tale about foxes who can transform themselves into humans. Snow wants revenge for her daughter's death and sets out to find the man who killed her 🩵🦊🩵

#NoShameReadathon24 #Revenge @Nessavamusic
This is a post-apocalyptic Frankenstein retelling. It was okay. The twist ending was good.
#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
#ReadOrDonate @julieclair Read and will be donating
I enjoyed this book and would have enjoyed it more if the narration had been better. This book is about Cora, who is recently widowed, heads to Essex to find their legendary serpent.

This was a fun collection of short stories that centered around the time of The Return of the Jedi. My favorites were The Key to Remembering, Dune Sea Songs of Salt & Moonlight, Brotherhood and Return of the Wills 💜

#BOTM books are up for March. These are my picks. Mostly I wanted Murder Road.
I was rather disappointed with the finalists for the BOTM awards this year. Mostly I picked The Wishing Game because I like the cover 🤷🏼♀️
What did everyone else pick?
This was a reread since Empire of the Damned comes out next month.
Set in a fantasy world where vampires are taking over, Gabriel, silver saint and last of his order has been captured is telling his tale to the vampires ❤️
I admit I bought this book because it's gorgeous, especially the splayed edges.
Aside from that, I thought it was going to be more fantasy, but it was really dirty. There were sex scenes that just seemed to go on and on, and the details 🤦🏼♀️
Somewhere in there is a story about two different human hybrids that fall in love.
#NoShameReadathon24 #Romantasy @Nessavamusic #WickedWords #Love @AsYouWish
This is a weird book about a man obsessed with his best friend who was an actress.
#BOTM
#WickedWords #couple @AsYouWish
Another monsters/ghosts in a museum story. This one is okay, a bit convoluted. Dr. Simon Nealy returns to his hometown to take a job in a museum that his sister disappeared in years ago.
#WickedWords #letters/notes @AsYouWish
An entertaining new take on the Boogeyman.

They have a special for new members. $4 for your first book plus free shipping. The code is LOVE4EVER if anyone else decides they need a new book subscription. It open to the US only, and you need to download their app.
It looks like it's about the same price as #BOTM so eventually I'll pick one. Anyone with both? What are your thoughts?
Here are my choices for #ReadYourKindle 📓
@CBee

In January, we finished Phase 2 of the High Republic. That was quite a ride, & we lost a bunch of good Jedis. What did y'all think?
Now, it is time for some new tales set in the Return of the Jedi time period. I've been looking forward to this one.
If anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead
My top read for January is Psyche and Eros 💜
#TopRead2024 #ReadingBracket2024
In January I read 12 books. My favorite was Psyche and Eros ❤️
For #ReadOrDonate I chose Cat Magic (which I read) and The Listening House (which I didn't) both will be donated. @julieclair
@Moonprismpower How's the New Year treating you?
This was a great book. Marion lucks out and gets a job as one of the Rockettes. A job her father doesn't approve of and one that puts her in the path of the Big Apple Bomber 🍎

#NoShameReadathon24 #GoodDisabilityRep @Nessavamusic
I loved this book. Hell Bent is the next book in the Alex Stern series/trilogy. I don't want to spoil anything, so I will just say that it is nuts and fantastic. Hellish fun 🖤
#NoShameReadathon24 #SeriesYouAreContinuing @Nessavamusic
I loved this retelling of Cupid and Psyche. I gave it
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 if you like mythic retelling at all, you should try this one.
#NoShameReadathon24 #GreekRetelling @Nessavamusic
This was a fantastic novel about three women who met during WWII and worked at Bletchley Park decoding German military codes. Now seven years later they have to reunite to find a traitor and save themselves.
This is the first book in Schwab's new series that follows Kell, Lila, Rhys, and Alucard from the Shades of Magic Trilogy. Their is a plot to kill King Rhys which unwittingly draws in Tess. She can manipulate the strands of Magic unlike anyone else. Also White London has a new queen.
#NoShameReadathon24 #BooktokMadeMeReadIt @Nessavamusic

I heard Zoe Howe talk on Llewellyn Con a few years ago and really enjoyed her presentation. So of course I bought her book. Some parts of this book are a bit basic but it's still an interesting read and it covers a lot 🩷
This book is just weird. It's mostly about a woman, Amanda, who is destined to take over the town's coven. Except part of the town are evil Christians & want to destroy all witches, plus her uncle is killing animals & people & then trying to resurrect them. And there is a demon cat, a lot of people running around naked, & misguided ideas on Wicca and fairies.
This book is a mess, & I admit it was a cover buy.
#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks
I love this cover, and this was a nice dramatic ending to this chapter in The High Republic books. My favorite part was the Mother's backstory and their trip to the home planet of the Leveler 🪐
#StarWarsBuddyRead
#NoShameReadathon24 #SpaceOpera @Nessavamusic
This book is about the dangers of eating ultra-processed food. I'm not sure how to feel about this book. I agree that the ulta-processed foods are unhealthy however I think most sensible people know this and what he doesn't cover is what to eat now.
#Naturalitsy @AllDebooks
I admit, I'm not the biggest Jane Austen fan. I think I like the movies more than the books or maybe I've seen the movies so much that I don't really enjoy the books. Either way Persuasion was okay. I found some of the characters rather frustrating but I liked Anne.
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
This is a weird little book about a man losing weight in Castle Rock. Scott makes new friends and brings the town together before leaving in a grand exit 🎆
#LosersClub @BarkingMadRead
This was a weird book about a woman who may or may not be going crazy because her dying mother may or may not be possessed.
There were parts I liked and parts I didn't. The ending was a bit predictable, and none of the characters were very likable.
Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1- The Victorian Era
2- My Darling Girl
3- The Lord of the Rings followed closely by It and The Stand 🧡
