I had such a great reading month in April!! Rogue, the black witch, and the deficit myth were all 5 stars

Yes! I would definitely recommend her books. Her character work is fantastic!

Current Reads:

๐ŸšขShip of Destiny 24%
๐Ÿ“ˆThe Deficit Myth 30%

I made it to 31% but I am going to dnf. I really don't like the dialog in this and I find the characters not believable. I'm glad I gave it a try but ultimately this is not for me.

I already have so many books I need to get to next month but if gael song wins I might need to drop something...

Well I can't say it's going super well at the moment ๐Ÿ˜… getting annoyed by the dialog

oooooo good idea ๐Ÿค” might need to add that to my notion setup

For vampires, I enjoyed A Dowry of Blood, which I'm pretty sure is a standalone. I also have Hungerstone and Blood on Her Tongue on my TBR, but no idea if they are any good

Well it was Elspeth that was mostly a struggle for me in the first one so that's great news. I also felt like the romance was rushed. The magic system was cool though

20.04.2025 05:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

thanks! I'm hoping it's the same for me ๐Ÿคž

That's a fantastic way to go! I am thinking about splitting my TBR into for sure reads and hopefuls, and then giving myself the option to pull in a mood read whenever. I will have to see how it works though. I might still feel obligated to the hopefuls

I'm definitely more of a planner than a mood reader but sometimes it's really hard to find a sweet spot. I like goals but I don't want feel overwhelmed or have fomo #booksky #readersky

I read the first two books awhile ago but yeah I finished the last book this weekend. I was really satisfied with the ending(what a relief, I was nervous I wouldn't be). I felt like the final battle was a good close to it all. Some sadness for sure but good closure to a good series

Speaking of Saara El-Arifi, letโ€™s talk about one of my favorite book series of ALL TIME, The Ending Fire Trilogy. This series set the standard for me with epic fantasy. It also has one of my favorite characters of all time: Hassa. I honestly havenโ€™t shut up about it for the last two years ๐Ÿ˜‚ #booksky
