Pretty rude that there’s not enough hours in the day for me to read all the books I want to

Pretty rude #booksky

I pretty much agree with DJ's thoughts!

I felt the same!

I think it's really well done by her

The moral superiority complex of Maya just didn't fit well at all w/ her actions & she was not a strong FMC. I get the idea behind the story of exploring morality, but it just wasn't executed well & left me feeling kind of ick

2.75/5 ⭐ The beginning really set this up to be a great book but the plot started going off the rails & ended up just being a confusing mess. I really wanted to like this & kept hoping it would get better. I'm still not entirely sure what happened

However, the storytelling truly had me immersed and it is impressive how Rutherford tells 1000 years of history and makes it feel real and alive.

I most enjoyed the beginning of the book. I wish some more time had been spent on the Vikings coming to Ireland in the middle and less time spent on English sympathizers towards the end.

4.5/5⭐ I picked this up before going to Ireland & am so glad I did. It lent a breadth & scope to a portion of my trip that would have lacked otherwise. You can tell the author highly respects the history of the area & people he writes about

Completely unintentionally, I've read two fantasy books tied to the goddess Hekate, & finished on her day. While I understand Nov16 is a date associated w/ her in more modern times, it is intriguing to me. I also unexpectedly adopted a dog, a symbol of hers. Something is telling me to pay attention.

Correction: Hereford Cathedral

Also forgot to add a thanks to #BookSirens and the author for an ARC for my genuine thoughts.

I don't usually seek out horror novels, but I've been expanding my genres lately and if it's Korean or Gothic horror, I'm usually there. While it did seem to slow in points, the pacing was mostly done well.
Thanks to #NetGalley for the #ARC for my genuine opinion.

4.75/5 ⭐ I was drawn into this haunting story of sisterly love and loss and what someone might do to "save" their loved one. This Korean based tale was as devastating as it was beautiful. It was an impressive debut novel.

It was as if a decision hadn't quite been made and then it completely slipped through editing. It might be a small thing to some, but it kept throwing me out of the story.

3.75/5 ⭐ I really liked the storyline, concept, & characters, both main & side. It was a fun #cozy #paranormal #mystery w/a sweet romance. I took off a ⭐ due to the author going back & forth between the autumn #equinox & winter #solstice as if the two are interchangeable

I didn't like how so much of it was focused on that singular viewpoint of being a cis hetero female. Overall, I'm glad I borrowed the book and didn't buy it

3/5⭐ I liked the writing style & it's a decent book for an absolute beginner that is a cis hetero female. I did appreciate the section on pets and found a few random spells I will adapt to my practice.

4.75/5⭐ Super cozy romance w/ a splash of magic & a dash of delicious spice. The introduction of a new character towards the end of the book felt a little forced but just a minor thing that didn't take away from my enjoyment of this comfy novella #BookSky #BookReview #ARC #ARCreader #cozy 💙📚🪐📚🌶️📚⏰📚💬

The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei was one of my more recent #library finds. A sci-fi space heist is set off to help save an alien civilization, but will it doom Earth in the end?
