#20in4 #Readathon Wrap Up

▪️Read for ten hours.
▪️Finished In a Dark, Dark Wood
▪️Read eight short stories/poems in Sanitarium Magazine 3.

My #TitlesAndTunes picks for May.

I started this book once a few years ago. Based on Poe‘s Annabel Lee, this is a gothic tale of love cursed by the otherworldly beings who inhabit the island and the sea around it.
Song choice is The Islander by Nightwish, a haunting song that, I think, matches the tone of the book.

1. A writer.

2. Currently unemployed, writing in the afternoons.

3. I mostly listen to instrumental and different types of rock music.

Last week‘s #WondrousWednesday

1. More. I always spend more.

2. I walked into the bookstore and they have a lot to read.

#Two4Tuesday

I preordered this coming of age story because I liked the cover and it sounded interesting. I‘m glad I did because I really liked the story and the characters. I would‘ve finished sooner but I haven‘t been getting much reading time lately.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#AwesomeApril #Readathon

I didn‘t get to read yesterday. Starting off April and #ThingsInCommon with this.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs and @IndoorDame

1. Favorite moment was spending time with my two best friends yesterday. We watched the movie Shag and ate taco dip.

2. Least favorite is losing sight of the giant camel cricket that is currently hanging out in my living room.

3. Creative. Empathetic. Loyal.

#WondrousWednesday

This is the story of Gabriel Jones, and how his porn addiction ruined his relationship with the one woman he has ever loved. This is Glen Duncan‘s fantastically written debut novel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book One of Lives of Mayfair Witches

This was my first time reading this. I started this in January to read along with the new AMC series so I could be more familiar with the story. The book is very in depth and well written. Took a little while to read but I‘m glad I did. It‘s so much better than the TV adaptation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

February & March Wrap Up

In February, I was only able to finish Wintersong and The Princess Bride while still working on The Witching Hour.

In March, I finally finished The Witching Hour and read Hope. Started reading a story collection that‘s still in progress.

I‘m a little behind on my reading goals right now. Hoping I can catch up some in April.

Thanks for the tag @PageShifter

1. Probably Ophelia, The Annabel Lee, The Sandpiper, or something else book or animal related.

2. I would only leave boat manuals and necessary books on it. I would be too worried about it sinking to leave any good books on it.

⚔️ A Classic Tale of True Love & High Adventure ⚔️

I read this once when I was a teenager. I forgot about the Zoo of Death, but other than that this was a fun, enjoyable reread. This illustrated deluxe edition also features some lovely artwork.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The last night of the year. Now the days of winter begin and the Goblin King rides abroad, searching for his bride....

This was a reread. Book One in a two book series.

Inspired by Amadeus, Labyrinth, and Phantom of the Opera, this is a dark, beautifully written Underworld tale. I love the way the author weaves the musical details into the writing. This is also one of my favorite book covers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#SeriesLove2023

My goals for the month are to finish my current reads and to continue reading the books I didn‘t get to in my January and February TBR piles.
