Currently Reading

  • The Merciful Crow (Merciful Crow, #1) by Margaret Owen – ebook
  • Daughter of the King (Defying the Crown, #1) by Kerry Chaput – ARC, physical book
  • House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, #1) by Sarah J. Maas – audiobook, reread

I’m in the middle of rereading (or listening to this time) Crescent City, so I’ll be ready for the sequel when it comes out later this month. I’m so glad I decided to reread because I had forgotten sooo much that had happened!

I’m also close to finishing up Daughter of the King.  While it’s a very well-researched book, the writing seems a bit dense and it’s taking me longer to finish than I thought it would. I also am pretty early on in The Merciful Crow but I’m loving it so far. It’s very interesting and after reading Owen’s latest book last fall, I know I’m in for a good time.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw – eARC
  • The Sandman, Part 1 by Neil Gaiman – full production audiobook, comic

I finished these two over the weekend and really enjoyed both of them. Wild Places was very intriguing and had me guessing what was going to happen next, thanks to all of the twists it kept throwing at me. I definitely recommend it! I’ll be posting a full review soon on it.

Gaiman is basically a writing god, so no surprise that his foray into DC comics was amazing. I loved all of the little details tying Morpheus’ story to the rest of the Justice League. If anything, this has only made me even more excited for the show adaptation coming to Netflix this year. It’ll be interesting to see if DC lets them keep all of the tie-ins to the greater JL universe.

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • Court (Crave, #4) by Tracy Wolff – physical book
  • Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire, #1) by Jay Kristoff – physical book
  • Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga, #3) by Fonda Lee – physical book

Currently Reading

  • The Song Rising (The Bone Season, #3) by Samantha Shannon – audiobook, reread
  • Dune (Dune, #1) by Frank Herbert – physical read

I have been steadily working my way through Dune over the past few weeks. And boy, it has been a ride. To say that I’ve become obsessed would be an understatement. This book has quickly become a new favorite for me, even with all of the info dumping and heavy philosophy. I saw the movie on opening night and can’t get enough of it ever since.

I’m still working my way through Song Rising. I haven’t listened to it much recently, focusing on podcasts instead but I’m flying back home for the holidays tomorrow and hope to listen to it a lot during the trip.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • The Boy Next Door (Fear Street, #39)  by R.L. Stine – physical book, buddy read

I am delighted to announce I’ll be a guest on tomorrow’s episode of the Fear Street Book Club podcast hosted by my dear friend, Hannah! For this episode we read and reviewed Boy Next Door with our other book friend, Heather. It was so much fun and I hope you all go check it out!

What do you think you’ll read next?

 

  • Tsarina by Ellen Alpsten – physical ARC
  • A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw – eARC
  • Just River by Sara B. Fraser – physical ARC

Currently Reading

  • The Song Rising (The Bone Season, #3) by Samantha Shannon – audiobook, reread
  • Cazadora (Lobizona, #2) by Romina Garber – ebook

I haven’t been listening to Song Rising. It’s been sat to the side in favor of some podcasts instead, specifically reality tv related podcasts. Haha! But I should get back to it soon… Hopefully.

I’ve picked Cazadora back up after sitting it aside for a few days. It’s going pretty good so far but it’s just now really hit an interesting plot line. This is such an interesting series and the story is super unique. I don’t see it getting mentioned, but I wish it would!

What did you recently finish reading?

  • The Big Reveal by Jen Larsen – ARC
  • Abaddon’s Gate (The Expanse, #3) by James S.A. Corey – physical book
  • All the Feels (Spoiler Alert, #2) by Olivia Dade – ARC

Of course I absolutely loved Abaddon’s Gate. That series just keeps getting better and better with each book. I also really enjoyed The Big Reveal. I loved the empowering feminist and body positivity message. It definitely did it much better than other books, I think. Which may be why All the Feels really fell short for me. I’ll dive more into it soon with a full review. But for now, just know it wasn’t my favorite.
