So excited for this challenge! I love color, so this is right up my ally! :)
The Super Sonic blue might be my favorite color in this set.

October #bookreport!

I read 12 books this October, but that number is inflated a little by me binging the manga series Sweat and Soap. HOWEVER, that is now a contender for my favorite manga series. It's so cute and wholesome and might be the most realistic example of a relationship I've ever seen in a comic. I can't wait for the final two volumes!

Every book this month was excellent. Really I could not have asked for a better reading month. :)

New audiobook locked and loaded and cross stitch is shaping up nicely. Once I get the tree on top of the car done, the only other complicated section is adding snowflakes. Smooth sailing after that! 🎄

I‘m so sad I had to give this one up, but I just wasn‘t going anywhere for me. I love romantic comedies as much as the next gal, but this is a farce. BUT IT HAD A CORGI ON THE COVER. 😭

Continuing my vacation book binge. Next up is my February 2021 BOTM pick, Honey Girl! 🍯

#BOTM #vacation #TBRbuster

It‘s still raining, but honestly I couldn‘t ask for a better vacation. ☕️🥰

First spin and it‘s a romance! Great vacation read! 😎🏖💕

Ok y‘all! I‘m on vacation for the next week and I brought entirely too many books with me. I‘m at the beach, but is supposed to rain all week. Oh no! Anyway… 🙈

I‘ll be spinning as I finish each new book to pick the next one and hopefully I can put a dent in my BOTM TBR pile. 📚🐛

#trb #vacation #botm

1. Yes, absolutely! I judge books by their titles and their covers all the time. 🙃
2. I chose Heartless by Marissa Meyer - though I originally pick this one for the audio reader!

#judgy #two4tuesdsy

I have < 100 pages left in all of these books. I really want to finish them all today and clear my currently-reading list. Wish me luck!

(Math Without Numbers has already been marked damaged and paid for at the library. My four legged partner in crime is to thank for that one. 😫)

#reading #cantfinishanything #nonfiction #librarybooks

Reading hammock buddy! This is Thor, destroyer of worlds (and the occasional library book). 🥰

My hold came in!! The blurbs on this book are 🔥🔥🔥so I‘m really excited!

#librarybook #hold #scifi #robots

August was a weird month. 3 graphic novels, 2 short story collections, and two novellas sort help to inflate the numbers. But, all reading is valid!

Apologies in advance for the double post -- It occurred to me that I hadn't posted my books for July when I went to post August. So without further ado, here are my July 2021 reads!

I‘m really enjoying this new audiobook! Jake‘s chapter‘s are narrated by Kevin R. Free who is probably my favorite audio narrator. 😍

Is it October yet? 👻

I‘m trying this spinner app to motivate me to read my BOTM backlist in September. First up is Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian. Here‘s hoping it goes well.

#BOTM #backlist #random #fantasy #myth

⭐️⭐️

I read this one because Riley Sager was throwing some shade when Grady Hendrix‘s new book came out. And I have to say, he should have kept his mouth shut, this one is awful. Is it s spoiler to say this is the dumbest twist ending I have ever read? I‘m glad this wasn‘t my first Riley Sager or I wouldn‘t have read another.

Sorry Sager, Grady did it way better. 👎🏻

#audio #library #thriller #finalgirls #horror #tropes #libby

I actually finished this book a few weeks ago and I have FEELINGS. It turns out I think I‘m a Grady Hendrix fan or something because I‘ve now read nearly everything he‘s ever written. Oops. 😅

Anyway, this story follows Lynnette as she tries to unravel a conspiracy of someone targeting final girls.

Did I mention the audio is read by real film final girl Adrienne King?

#audio #horror #tropes #subversion

FINALLY - almost through with the Bridgertons. While I‘m glad that I stuck with it after the dumpster fire that was the first book, my completionist side of things I ready for these to wrap up.

#romance #series #finalbook #audio #hoopladigital #librarybook #library

This was my second attempt to read this book - on audio this time - and it finally clicked having all the voices. OH BOY DID IT CLICK! I need the third book like YESTERDAY.

This may be one of the most contemporary historical romances I‘ve ever read. Burrowes is playing with and subverting all of the tropes here, along with a healthy dose of inclusivity, and I am here for it.

#romance #audiobook #libby #library

June wrap up! Thanks to Summer Reading at the library, June is typically a slow month for me book wise, and that was very true this year.

All of these were on audio. 😅

Blah blah blah, weird religious and political maneuvering and they still want me to believe this is sci-fi? If this doesn‘t get a lot more interesting soon I‘m gonna have to dip out.

I‘m excited to begin the Murderbot Diaries novel! The narrator on this series is 10/10.

#scifi #audio #murderbot #libby #library

This series just keeps on improving! I‘m glad I didn‘t stop at the disaster that was the first book. I‘m so very thankful the were added onto Hoopla so I don‘t have to wait forever in between novels any more. :D

Popsugar Challenge #28

This was a weird book. I picked it out because I really liked the cover, but then the story didn't match it at all. It was a sprawling story that followed the lives of several people all touched by Bertha Truitt, except her daughter, the person I was really interested in knowing more about.

#novel #fiction #magicalrealism #strange #audio #library #libby

Yay! Hoopla added all of the Bridgerton books on audio! No more having to fight for a spot on the holds list on Libby. Pretty excited to keep going on this series. The first book was by far the worst, this one looks much more promising.

Popsugar Challenge #1

I went into this book really unsure. Nesta was my least favorite character of the series and I didn't really care about her arc. That said, this book was worth it. I have a few quibbles; it's about twice as long as it needs to be, and I feel like the Trove is very underdeveloped, but overall it was the best. Also, the House is the best character of the series so far and and I love it!

#fantasy #challenge

I can‘t really argue with my progress this year, and I don‘t even have the excuse of the quarantine room at work to blame this on!

Round up for March 2021! Lots of graphic novels and several of them I read digitally on the ipad - which was a completely new experience.

Not doing so hot on my goal of reading mostly my own books in 2021, but we're only three months in and I should have time to catch up.

Favorite Book: Death By Dumpling by Vivien Chen
Least Favorite Book: There were all pretty crackerjack! :)

#bookreport #roundrup #libby #hoopla #graphics #digital

Almost through my Russell/Holmes re-listen! Just own more after this and I will have been through the entire series once in print and again on audio. I‘ll probably read through it a third time as I collect my own copies from used bookshops. :)

Popsugar Challenge #22

I always look forward to each new Patricia Briggs book. I don't know any other fantasy author who can seamlessly combine werewolves, witches, bigfoot, and HP Lovecraft and make it work as well as she does. Anna and Charles' relationship is so wholesome, and honestly, #goals.

#fantasy #urbanfantasy #werewolves #magic #librarybook

I picked up this series because a co-worker at the library recommended it and BOY HOWDY IS HE EVER ON MY LIST NOW. I'm enjoying it, my husband is not enjoying me sleeping with the lights on. 😬

This is one of those horror series that's fine in the daylight and downright nightmare inducing at night. That said, I am almost half way through and very interested in seeing where it goes.

#graphics #horror #digital #hoopla #library

Kidnapped by pirates is good!

Honestly, don‘t tell anyone, but I‘m enjoying the Bridgeton spin-off series way more than the originals. Even if she seems to have thrown continuity to the wind. 🤭

Popsugar Challenge #35

I read this one as an ebook on Hoopla! This was the first time in a long time I'd reached for an ebook and the first time ever I'd read a comic digitally. The experience wasn't the same as reading a trade of a beloved comic, but with our budget for graphics what it is, I'll take what I can get!

Popsugar Challenge #29

Set in Japan and England, this is an interesting addition to the series in that it jumps back to events that took place between books 7&8 then forward to events after books 9-12. Not to mention Sherlock Holmes meets ninjas. Maybe one of the weaker books overall, but I have a soft spot for it.

This comic is AMAZING! I love what they are doing with storytelling, colors, mood, and especially writing.

March #BOTM arrival! Super excited about this one! From the blurb:

Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.

Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary‘s register.

Can‘t think of a better end to a long, long Saturday! 📚🍕

February 2021 round up! Actually a little slow when you consider I was home for snow days for over a week, AND took my birthday off to read.

Not doing very well balancing the audiobooks this month - 7 of these are from Libby - but hopefully I'll find a nice balance eventually.
