Today's #bookmail (well, yesterday's but I picked up the package today), courtesy of the lovely Trish at TLC Book Tours. I have been wanting to read the Natchez Burning books for a while. So many of you have raved about these books! So I'm really looking forward to this one.

This just came in, and I'm so excited! I really enjoyed THE ROOK - it was such a fun read. I have high hopes for this one.

Really looking forward to browsing through this book. And maybe it will make me more productive. (Not likely, I know.)

I would have liked this more without all the chapter endings that try too hard to make you turn the page. Like "It was the start of a cascade that would end with horrific results". Or "Unaware of the deadly spiral I'd kicked into motion". Only there really wasn't a cascade. Or a spiral. Just the plot moving along, as all plots do. And Brennan is supposed to be smart, so why does she always rush blindly into danger without backup?

I've been sinking into this book for a few hours now. It's so intriguing: time travel of sorts (reincarnation?), lots of intricate weaving through past and present lives ...

So excited to finally catch up on this series!

I'm really loving this book, for a lot of reasons, not least of which is how it's exploded my TBR pile.

I got this from Audible a while ago. Couldn't remember what it was about but figured it was about some apprentice questing to become a wizard. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it's about a computer hacker! I love magic + technology books. I think I'm going to like this one.

But then, I don‘t get only supporting the freedom of the kind of speech you like. If speech needs defending, it‘s probably because it‘s upsetting someone.

I kept writing, fascinated. I felt, on the good days, more like the first reader than the writer, something I‘d rarely felt since Sandman days. Neither Shadow nor Wednesday was, in any way, an everyman figure. They were uniquely themselves, sometimes infuriatingly so.

All too often I write to find out what I think about a subject, not because I already know.

Time travel. 16th century England. Immortal cyborg operatives. Loved the whole concept. The historical setting felt very authentic and I enjoyed Mendoza's voice, a good balance between immortal cyborg and uncertain adolescent. This was definitely a good read.

The first in the Wells & Wong Detective Society series. I'm dipping in before I tackle the kitchen.

This read was my first Big Library Read. Such fun, although I did feel at times the dialogue in the past felt a little too modern. An enjoyable read, though, especially once I got through the present-day chapters.
