Yearly vacation coming up, expect a lot of reading (completion and DNFing).

Oh thank goodness, someone who knows how to write a historical fantasy.

If you are familiar with the writer of Cang Lan Jue of Legend of Shen Li, then you will enjoy this. There is humor and romance.

I'm not saying I deserve a copy of Our Strange Duet, but I was once somebody in the Phantom fandom back in the days of the Y2k era, so I think I've earned my stripes.

Prowling around on my kindle, finding books I have but never logged.

My goodness, I love Noe. There, I said it. Lydia has made me flip flop on a character like a coin tossed out of Gods hand. I want them to end up together. 🥹

Buddy reading with Zana. Whee! We are trying it again.

Book was $5 at the cafe. So, I bought it because I thought it sounded cute.

Two books away from hitting my goal of 50. Will be updating to 100 when I do!

I got 6 reviews to leave and have been a busy little bee.

Not hitting as strongly as the previous series and I am sad. :(

The talking plants are cute. Yarrow is boring as f.

Interesting. So this book is about the librarian who created Caz.

Eh. Another 3 star read, I feel.

As an asexual (who is too literal for their own good), I tend to focus on the flow, characteristics, and romance comes third or fourth. You cannot write a romance primarily without focusing on the plot first. Yet, I'm finding a lot of people focusing on the romance first and the plot that I'm saddled with to GET to said romance is absolute dog-shit. Any one else feel me?

This one has a denser plot than the previous book.

Quick read so far... glad the author changed the age of the main character. 17 and getting hit on by someone 23? (Now the published ver. will be 18 going on 19.) Still, I feel like Kit should be older and so should the Capt.

This book has history, secrets, villains, punching, knives, really good characters, and slowburn. So far its a 5 out of 5 for me. Lets hope the last 15% sticks the landing. Did I tell you the male interest is Egyptian?

If you see any Indie books I'm reading and I enjoyed, buy and support. Some of these indie books are still looking for ARC readers. You never know, one of the authors (or hopefully all of them) become the next best-seller.

I love Cas. There. I said it.

This is really good so far. Damn. So far I'm reading a lot of good authors that aren't traditional. Maybe I should stick with the indie books a bit?

Been slacking when it comes to my DNF reviews... should I bring 'em back?

On another ARC team. Let this be the year I embrace self published authors and hope their books are good enough for formal publication.

Look at the comps: Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, the Mummy? Stop. My childhood.

Well fuck.

This and Weavingshaw are out there doing the heavy lifting when it comes to yearning. It's still a 4. The schematics / plot progression (tagged as world building) is a bit muddled, but it's some good stuff if you like character build. Lets see if the last 15% can change my mind.

The world building could be a little stronger but honestly, I'm having fun with this one. I feel like the ML is still hiding something.

I literally inhaled 51% of this book last night. I don't wanna say yearning is happening but more or less uncertainty and respect. There was a heated moment in a bar but I am enjoying this a lot.

All I am saying is that we need more regency / historical based magic stories and I thank that this one is coming. Looking forward to the last 49%. This book is long! (Good for me.)

"If you try to strike this woman again," he began in that velvety voice of his, "I will take your little stick and deliver unto you the most unholy beating of your existence, until not even God recognizes the bloody pulp of your remains. Do you understand me?"

😶‍🌫️🫨🥵

I'm on the ARC team for this. I'm digging it, but I'd like more world building?

It's wavering around 3ish right now. I like the characters, I just wish a little more happened. Stuff seems to be happening right now, tho?
