Starting this book today.

#botm

Fairyloot is very blue in July. I got my adult fantasy and romantasy boxes the same day - The Night Ends with Fire and The Wren in the Holly Library.

Up next!

Decided my next read will be this one.🚲

Now that I've creeped myself with Ghost Station, I'm making my next read a contemporary romance.

I just finished. The creepiness and horror slowly builds. This book doesn't make space exploration sound appealing at all. But I really enjoyed the mystery of what was happening and had happened on that planet. And how or if this team survives. It's a pick for me.🤘

I'm in the mood for a space horror, so I'm starting Ghost Station.

#aardvarkbookclub

Two books delivered today. I got my July #aardvarkbookclub pick. I'm excited to read this one.
And I ordered the other book because 1. the title, Filthy Rich Fae🧚‍♀️, is absolutely ridiculous and 2. the pretty yellow edges.

The weekend is almost over.😩 I'm starting the new Kirsten Miller.

Right?🤷🏻‍♀️

Started this book on our rainy 4th of July. My city's parade and fireworks are postponed to Saturday.

My July #BookSpinBingo card is all set!

This was fabulous. I love stiff, quiet main female characters. The two try the let's have sex once to get it out of system deal, but you know that never works. It's definitely Hazelwood's hottest book so far. But I feel like it's also her most serious. There is definitely still humor, but the situations and pasts of the characters felt heavier.

I read 11 books in June.

I got one bingo for #BookSpinBingo.

Starting Not in Love today. First book of July!

July #botm books are up super early this morning. These are my two picks.

This book is like The Hangover with a murder mystery set in a dystopian world (island). It was weird and it hooked me from the start.

My weekend read is The Last Murder at the End of the World.

Decided to make my July #BookSpin list all physical books that I currently have.

I'm starting Katherine Center's newest. It's so pink!

Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova is out today. It's also Owlcrate's June adult fantasy and I got it today! Very pretty blue.

Up next. I'm probably going to give my brain whiplash going from a sweet 1960s romance to a contemporary serial killer romance.🙃

Honestly, Cat Sebastian can do no wrong in my eyes. I always enjoy her characters and stories. This book was no different. Eddie is a baseball player traded to New York and having an awful season. Mark is the newspaper reporter assigned to do a series of articles about Eddie. They both are lonely and Mark's still grieving his previous relationship. Their friendship and love is sweet. And I love Eddie's eventual dynamic with his teammates.

Picked up two books at Barnes and Noble this morning.

Starting the newest Cat Sebastian.

It's a rainy Saturday, which has put me in a mystery/thriller mood. So I'm starting the #botm.

Owlcrate just sent out an email that they will be starting new quarterly box subscriptions starting spring 2025. The categories are romance, science fiction, romantasy, and horror. More details to come.

Up next is Twelfth Knight. This is author Olivie Blake writing YA romcom as Alexene Farol Follmuth. Are both pen names? I'm not sure.

Ehhhhh. I've read multiple Crichton book and no Patterson books, and this book read to me like a watered down Crichton book. I felt like it needed a little more science to go with the action and more complex characters. I probably would have liked it more as a straight up disaster movie.

I finished the Julie Anne Long historical romance last night and decided I was in the mood for a disaster thriller. So I picked up Eruption.🌋

A good day for #bookmail. Three arrived from Barnes and Noble. And my two from #aardvarkbookclub.📚🥰

Started a new audiobook. This one is about a catfisher and the three women who find him and expose him. #audiobook

I'm in the mood for banter and I can always depend on Julie Anne Long to bring me banter. Just starting this one today.

I don't think the picture does this book justice. It's so pretty. My FairyLoot May adult fantasty showed up again with no shipping email. So a fun surprise!

I just noticed my June #botm books have different designs on the back of each book and a new logo.

It's a great #bookmail day! My#BOTM arrived and two from Barnes and Noble.

Finished a thriller and now in the mood for a romance. I'm not sure what it is about this cover, but I really like it. It draws my eyes.👀

June board all set! #BookSpinBingo

Of course the first book I'm reading in June is not any of the books I added to my #BookSpin list. My first X on the board will be one of the free spots.

Starting this one today. My hold came in and there are people waiting behind me, so I thought I better read this one next.

May was a great reading month for me. I loved many of the books I read.

I had one bingo for #BookSpinBingo!

I opened a couple more boxes today and now have a good amount of books to add the library's collection next week.📚🥰

June #botm books are live! I went with the new Peter Swanson. I can't resist a book with a librarian main character. And then added Joe Nuthin's Guide to Life and Leather & Lark.

June #BookSpin list is all set!📚

Started this fantasy late last night.🧚‍♂️🦢

Starting this one today. Looks cute. #aardvarkbookclub

Two #bookmail today. Both 1st editions with pretty edges.

Now reading the newest Abby Jimenez.🥰

The Arcane Society did sprayed edges, special editions of two Ilona Andrews' books - Iron and Magic and Blood Heir. Mine finally arrived today. They are gorgeous. And signed!

I loved this one. It was more historical fiction than mystery, which I'm very OK with. It takes place in late 1700s Maine and our protagonist, Martha, is a midwife. It starts when Martha is asked to examine a body found in the river. A lot happens from there both in her family and in the community. I adore Martha. And I adore her marriage with Ephraim.

Tuesday the 21st seems to be big pub day. Here's what I'll be adding to my library's collection next week.
