Reread the first book and I am reminded of why I gave it 5/5 stars. But the second book?

Well, it's the second book. I was still hooked to it, there were so many revelations that had me gagged.. but Soren...I needed some more groveling. I needed a little more punishment to him. Even though, how this book ended, I guess it's punishment enough.

I need to know when the next one is coming.

If anyone wants to buddy read these again, please follow me on the Storygraph! I do other book challenges as well.

sometimes a travelling party is just a sad dude who hears voices in his head, a guy with one arm who won't stop making oaths, a cranky old god, a giant mad tortoise and a severed talking head they keep in a jar

💘February Reads 💘

Regardless of the ratings, I pretty much loved reading everything from February. Many new authors and books that have been on my tbr list 🤣

📚 read from the public library: 10 📚 read from my library: 4

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

Mass markets fit into the pockets of men's cargo shorts and women's yoga pant in a way just nothing else does.

Carrying a mass market around is one of the most comforting things I've ever had in my pocket.

🌸 spring/primavera/はる readathon 🌸

Hosting a spring readathon if anyone is interested. On storygraph only since I don't have goodreads anymore. Will begin on March 1st to May 31st.

January Reads

Not a bad start for the year (besides everything else happening around this country). This year I am hoping to read more books I have at home than the ones I get from my local library. Unless I really want to read it, than I'll just do it. Also hoping to read books I had on my tbr for a while.

Anyway, have a couple of book club and reading challenges for February coming up. Cannot wait <3

Need something to look forward to?

Mark your calendars! I will be chatting on IG Live on Friday, January 24th at 7pm (Eastern) with the amazing Adriana Herrera about her Las Leonas series and its last installment: A Tropical Rebel Gets The Duke (out Feb. 4).

We plan to discuss the stories as well as the historical research Adriana did!

I can't wait 🤩

[ID: Text- "Leonas Chat Live. Friday, Jan. 24, 8pm EST." Two elaborate golden frames display Adriana Herrera and Gabby Womack. Adriana, with a closed-lip smile, shoulder-length curls framing her face, black square glasses and  burgundy top. Gabby smiles in long dark braids and a purple t-shirt that says "Unite Against Banned Books." Below them, lies the cover of A Tropical Rebel Gets The Duke. Lavender plants sprout around it.]
