My favorite book this month was The Horned God of the Witches and it also beat out Wild Dark Shore for the next bracket 💙
#BookBracket2025 @Catsandbooks

I read six books in August. My favorites were The Horned God of the Witches and The Library At Hellebore.
My #BookSpin pick was Enigma which I'm still reading and my #DoubleSpin and #ReadOrDonate pick was The Starving Saints which was just to weird so I'm dnfing and donating.
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

I loved this book and completely recommend it. It seems that a lot of witches or just me tend to ignore the Gods in favor of the Goddesses. This book discusses the Gods like Pan and Cernunnos, those that fit the Horned archetype. It's very informative and well written.
I listened to the audiobook which was also good for pronunciations 💙

When I was a kid I was obsessed with dinosaurs, so I really enjoyed this book. It tells what happened when the asteroid hit Hell Creek to end the dinosaurs known as the K-PG event. Then follows as mammals become the more dominant species 🦕

In all of the High Republic books this one is the most hopeful. Reath Silas leads an expedition to Kashyyyk to stall the Blight. Unfortunately, the drengir also show up and the wookies have their own secrets 💚

@LitsyEvents

This was a modern retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone. It was good, a little more kinky than I prefer. In modern day Olympus, Zeus is a 🤬 and Persephone is engaged to him, by her Mother's manipulations. So she runs off and ends up needing to be rescued by Hades 🔥

This book was insane but I loved it. It was kind of a monster version of Hunger Games. So the apocalypse has happened, and all the people (mostly kids) have these monsterous, world ending, anti-christ type powers. That includes Alessa, who, on her graduation day, barely escapes being eaten only to end up with seven other classmates and an edict that only one can live 👹
#Pantone2025 #crownblue @Lauredhel

I enjoyed this book, but it was gritty and intense. Roman goes back home when he hears that his father is in a coma. There, he gets mixed up in crime thanks to his brother while his sister is still trying to solve the mystery of their Mother's disappearance 🔥

I love this song, and I'm broken hearted that Ozzy's dead 🖤 💔 🖤
Would anyone be interested in an Ozzy buddy read? I know he did I am Ozzy and Trust Me, I'm Doctor Ozzy and Last Rites comes out in October.

Here is my tbr for August, which I am also using for #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate 🌞
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

For July, we read The Tempest Breaker. I'm still reading it. How did y'all like it?
In August, our book is Into The Light. It's time to enjoy some teenage Jedi drama.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

My favorite book for July was When The Wolf Comes Home, but the current bracket winner is The Shining 🖤
#BookBracket2025 @Catsandbooks

In July I read 10 books. My favorites were Death of the Author, Love At Second Sight, Weave the Liminal, and When the Wolf Comes Home 🐺

I loved the twists in this book. It's a good mix of Firestarter and Lathe of Heaven.
Jess is having a bad night at her work, but when she gets home, she finds a scared little boy, and there is a werewolf after them 🐺
#WickedWords #rooftop @AsYouWish

In this book Laura Tempest Zakroff discusses her path and how to weave old traditions with modern witchcraft. I loved it 🦉
#Pantone2025 #magicalforest @Lauredhel

I love these novels. In this one, the First Doctor meets the Twelveth Doctor, a lost WWI captain and a mysterious Glass Woman. Both of the Doctors are struggling with regeneration, and the best part is that we finally get to find out what happened to Bill after she was rescued from the cybermen 💙

This was a weird book, and it had a rather oppressive feel to it.
Cassie breaks up with her girlfriend, abandons her job, and heads back to her father's house. There, she runs into her high school best friend, Eli. He is recently widowed and very quickly. They catch up. He ends up married, and she ends up in big trouble
#Pantone2025 #winterberry #wispyclouds @Lauredhel

I loved this book. Lukens is an autobuy author for me.
Cam has a best friend, Al, who is a witch and a crush on a werewolf named Mateo. He thinks that he is a normal human until one day at school, he has a vision of a murder. Now him and his friends are trying to stop it, while the supernatural community tries to get Cam to join with them, and he is busy hiding his new powers from his parents.

This is a rather boring book. It's about Barton Dawes a man whose house is about to be turned into a highway. He doesn't handle it well, infact he goes nuts 🚧
#LosersClub @BarkingMadRead #Pantone2025 #bronzemist @Lauredhel

I enjoyed this one, even though it was really long.
Amy Dorrit is born in a debtors prison. There she spends her time taking care of her delusional father and trying to wrangle her siblings. And then her fortune changes 🩶
#Whatthedickens @Cuilin @Texreader

#Pantone2025 #darkgullgray #brightwhite @Lauredhel

This is a rather boring retelling of Carmilla. The ending was good though.
#WickedWords #candlestick @AsYouWish
#Pantone2025 #cumulouscloud #vaporblue

I loved this book and gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
On the outside, this book is about a paraplegic author writing her first big novel while dealing with her family and herself, and then there are the robots 🤖
#CampLitsy @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB #WickedWords #family @AsYouWish #Pantone2025 #poppyred #Pantone2025 #PoppySeed #FrenchToast

This is one of the legends stories about Obi-Wan coming to live on Tatooine.
I loved it. Obi-Wan is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters 🧡
#StarWarsBuddyRead #WickedWords #Villian @AsYouWish #Pantone2025 #lemongrass #brandiedmelon #chillioil #deserts @Lauredhel

In June, we visited Kenobi on Tatooine as he became Ben. I'm still reading it, but so far, I'm loving it. How did y'all like it.
Now, in July, we are back in the High Republic with Lourna Dee, Avar Kriss, & Keeve Trennis. That combo is going to be entertaining.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀 #StarWarsBuddyRead

My favorite book this month was Wild Dark Shore 🧡
#BookBracket2025 @Catsandbooks

I only got to four books for June. My favorite was Wild Dark Shore.

I loved this book. Rowan washes up on Shearwater Island and is rescued by Dom and his family. There are tons of secrets, missing scientists, whales, a dying seed bank, and a family collapsing. This was written in an almost eco dystopian way as a reminder of how bad global warming is getting and how potentially screwed we are 🧡
#CampLitsy25 @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB #Pantone2025 #thunderstorm @Lauredhel #WickedWords #beach @AsYouWish

This is a weird book. And it is about how cats tamed us. However, I think it's rather hard on cats, and I refuse to believe that Druzy's only interest in me is that I feed her. The historical parts are rather fascinating. The little cat in the corner is the felis silvestris lybica, the most direct ancestor of the housecat. Unlike dog breeds, different cat breeds are the result of breeding mutations, not different ancestors 🐈

This was a good book and I loved the twists at the end. Olivia is a writer having trouble with her next book when she gets an offer to help find the true story behind Rebecca and if Daphne DuMaurier really wrote it.
#Pantone2025 #bluegranite @Lauredhel
#WickedWords #Massachusetts @AsYouWish

This book was just too weird, the characters were really unlikable and I still don't understand what happened 🤷🏼‍♀️
But I did have fun with the discussions.

I spent the morning shopping at a Walmart that doesn't understand Louisiana summers.
Now, however, I'm home, comfortable, watching Doctor Who and working on the #SummerCardSwap
@Gissy @wanderinglynn @AprilMae What were y'all up to today 🌼
#Chatterday @AllDebooks

For May, we read about teenage Obi-Wan. I enjoyed a hormonal Kenobi. How did y'all like it?
For June, we have adult Obi-Wan who has recently been exiled on Tatooine. I'm looking forward to this one.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀 #StarWarsBuddyRead

My favorite book for May was The Resurrectionist 💗
#ReadingBracket @Catsandbooks

For May I read 6 books. My favorites were The Long Walk, The Unworthy, and The Resurrectionist 🧡

I loved this book. James goes to Edinburgh to study to become a doctor. There, he gets into enough financial trouble that he starts body snatching with Aneurin and his gang for the surgeon he's studying for. And then they run into Burke and Hare 🖤
