Yes this IS a lot of books (Don't count the ones I didn't get to from last month). Ether I'm mad or ambitious (or just both). Also I finished a book earlier but didn't feel like removing it here.
Which of these books have you already read/want to read? Hit me up for a buudy read! #booksky

Magic faraway series! Or just any of the older Blyton series. I recently reread Malory Towers and it was as good as back then

2x was great and now this is even better 😄 the long audiobooks don't seem so long now haha

Might do it the next time I'm in-between posts

Recently moved to 2.5x and loving it! Definitely makes me listen more

I know Beartown's quite a popular one and it looks like a lot of people Have the same feeling as you! Slow pacing is easier to deal with when it's fast audiobook speed 😄 thanks for commenting!

Yeah, I've liked a Jewell book, really didn't like another one and I've heard mixed reviews for most of her books. I don't mind unsettling thrillers, don't like domestic ones all that much or ones where cheating is a big factor - but otherwise, whatever looks good

I've now read 6 volumes of Saga and I'm liking them more and more! #booksky #currentlyreading

Oooh I like the look of this one

Yellow, light and dark green gradient background At the top are numbers in a row. 04 has a blue background circle. My Social media handle is at the bottom left and an arrow bottom right. My thoughts is the heading for the page. To the right of the heading are a pair of earphones out of an earphones case. Above is an arrow pointing to it and "read in" by the arrow The text is on a crumbled piece of white lined paper: I had so so much fun with this! I'm noticing as I'm growing older I'm enjoying books with adult protagonists. I loved that Daphne was older, a mom, and ADHD! I instantly connected to Daphne and Silas when he showed up. They were both funny and cared for each other. Their romance was so sweet and I need to see more in the sequel (don't talk to me about the cliffhanger). Taylor Coan narrated really well, easily allowing me to navigate all the different characters. The action and magic system was really good - It flowed easily,

Yellow, light and dark green gradient background At the top are numbers in a row. 01 has a blue background circle. My Social media handle is at the bottom left and an arrow bottom right Synopsis is the heading. There are 2 blobs. One is dark green and the other mustard yellow. Text: Thirty-six-year-old Daphne Silver thought she finally had it all; she was married to the love of her life, had an amazing job, and was the mother to three beautiful children. From leading The Hot Moms Book Club to running to after-school practices, nothing could stop her from living the perfectly normal life she had dreamed of, not even her ADHD. That is, until the accident. Now, she’s left with only two of those. Trying desperately to cling to the life she built, she signs up for a technology-free retreat. But it seems the stars have other plans for her. Instead of leaving for her trip, she is pulled into a world full of fae, dragons, and magic. After a handsome stranger, Silas, rescues her from imminent danger, he agrees to help her get home. They embark on a journey navigating Daphne’s newfound magic, a budding romance that could never work, and the vague predictions of oracles. With no one looking for her, Daphne has two weeks to find a way back to her world—she can’t allow her family to suffer two tragedies in less than a year. But in a world full of magic and mystery, will she be able to make it back?
