A little slow going for me because I'm book juggling, but I appreciate the Coyote Story as a framing device for Julian's family history

This is all very stressful but clearly the diaries survived for the author to read and write this narrative so I assume they live, but maaaaaan I am surprised they haven't died thus far

Hiiiiiiii Jeff's voice

A Lucky pick from the library so I gotta finish before it's due Friday...

Three more days of my Libby copy and can't renew so I gotta go fast (and for once not take over a month to finish a Hobb)

Reading for the Her Story category in seasonal challenges (and also because I've had an ARC from a local bookstore forever so another shelf read

I keep thinking about other Greek retellings as we go through this- Pasiphäe naming the minotaur Astarion reminds me of the Hades video game, men being turned to pigs reminds me of the more age appropriate version in Percy Jackson as a guinea pig, etc.

The prose is really nice too.

I do like that we're catching up on we're Fitz has been doing for the past fifteen years

My pick this month for reading my shelf

👀 confirmation of an explicit link between Liveship Traders and the Farseer stuff (had suspicions, but wasn't sure exactly of the linkage)

So he gestured towards his iPad. "*Fast Five*. Have you seen it?"
"Yeah. I think so. Is that the one with the bank safe chase scene?"
"Yes. Is the best one."

I adore how much Ilya cares for his teammates and also this is the correct opinion re the Fast & the Furious movies.

Oops these are really inhalable

A little late in starting, but eager to get back into this duology since the first half really did feel like half a book

aw shit it's Fitz time again and I do not appreciate that he's acting like an old man at *thirty five*

Meant to start this in February, but heyyyy book priorities. Adored episode 3 so I'm really looking forward to this!!

I'm now at the part where Beyonce and Girls Tyme are really picking up, but this is also generally a good memoir re: generational strength and motherhood (probably not surprising given the title, but Miss Tina/Tenie can spin a yarn)

First book club pick for Biere Library Book Club's immigration/diaspora theme for March/April 2026. This one is more on the diaspora part of the theme, as indigenous displacement forced the movement of so many.

Oooops can't renew because someone else has holds on them so I will resume at some point or switch to the digital... Not very far, this is the start of The Parade chapter for whenever I resume.

I haven't read Legends and Lattes but this sounds like it's in the same cozy vibes

Partly to check off some goodreads challenge categories but also because it sounds like a genuinely good autobiography

Love to see Booster, Corran, and Mirax again

Technically started yesterday - I read Cradle as an ebook but I have listened to him do extra material on YouTube so it doesn't feel AS weird without Jeff at the helm for a Matt Dinniman book.

Zahn definitely feels like it's a continuation of the OT- everyone feels in character

Finished the base races, now in Classes

(and again, while I've read parts of the Player Handbook I've never read it cover to cover so this is me attempting to actually do so)

Woooo back in Zahn's Star Wars

Wasn't SO long ago that I read the first, but figured I should finish before I end up in a "I don't remember anything"situation like I am with Daevabad

Interesting that the [redacted] are given a bit of an Irish brogue here when in the Graphic Audio (and my own head reading) they're vaguely Scandinavian ja

"tipping my head back to meet the mandroid's gaze" uhhh I feel like that's redundant, etymologywise, like and- is already a male prefix
