Not my most read in a month, I hit a little slump even with audio books, I had a bookfair going on and just felt like a busy month overall. Really enjoyed finishing off Sorry, Bro as well as A Wish Upon the Stars - cannot wait to dive into the short stories next 🥰. The Eidolon showed up in my mailbox and I had to read it and now I am dying for the next book in that series.

So a decent reading month just slower for me than usual.

I'm unequivocal in my declaration that The Tales of Verania rivals all fantasy escapades that are likely to occupy your shelves. This cosmic adventure concludes in style, with Klune's archetypal witty and riotous humour interwoven with devastatingly faultless satirical prose. Good and evil clash in this epic showdown, endangering Sam's happily ever after when the shadows curl at his feet and his lightning-struck heart explodes a final time 🐲🦄..

Yessss. I can't say enough about this series. I loved everything about it and I am sad it's over for now. I'm looking forward to the next arc of Justin's story. This will definitely be a series that I pick up again and again. #epicfantasy

Took me long enough, ffs. Loved this final installation of Sam‘s POV, and look forward to Justin‘s.

kgriffith @cobwebmoth @rwmg @AmyG @asiriusreader Thanks, all. I‘m on the couch with a cat, watching The Lion King (my go-to sick kid film selection) and hoping I caught it in time with the cold calm! 7y

Taking some quiet time away from the event I‘m attending, and getting in some #Readathon progress. How‘s everyone‘s @DeweysReadathon going so far??

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Hey girl!! I‘m just curious... is there any way to know how many total members we have? I know we are welcoming a lot everyday through the LWW and I just wondered!! 🤔🤔 7y
kgriffith @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Total accounts created, yes, but active members, not sure/don‘t think so at this point — the former would be super inaccurate and the latter wasn‘t tracked to my knowledge. It may or may not be something we follow moving forward, but your curiosity is noted! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you ☺️☺️ 7y

Job perk: whenever I‘m torn between currents reads/TBRs, I can ask @ablachly — she will immediately tell me what to do. It‘s grand. So, I‘m carrying on with Sam of Dragons because I really super want to know what happens in this last installment, and am saving Circe for when I can really envelop myself in Miller‘s writing.

“Obvious ancillary characters who served no real purpose other than to reintroduce a dashing hero and will probably never be mentioned again.” Nice fourth-wall break, Gary. 🦄
And, I finally broke down and gifted myself a Paperwhite. Now both of my e-readers are the same size and fit together in one carrying case and I have allllll of the books at my fingertips forever.

Emilymdxn My paper white is literally the love of my life! Gorgeous cover too 7y
bibliophiliac Lovely cover! 7y
kgriffith @Emilymdxn @bibliophiliac Thank you! I could have spent a looooong time down that rabbit hole, but I am quite happy with my fairly immediate selection 😊 7y

Can‘t use only one of the books I‘m reading for all of my testing! @maggie Tried doing something different this time; typed one letter at a time and X out of the popup after each. Dooooooo we have Maggie?? *points to game board with fingers crossed*

Maggie4483 I‘m here 7y
RaimeyGallant Lol. I'm on it. @maggie 7y

RaimeyGallant Yep, this method worked. It's up to you, @maggie. :) Would you like me to post your giveaway with the current deadline, or would you prefer to extend it, because it's cutting it close and hard to go do good deeds with short notice. Also, I think some people will give up when they can't tag figure out how to tag you in their post. Do you want to alter your handle first? I know you're using the hashtag, but people like to tag. 7y
RaimeyGallant @jess7 This works. 7y
Jess7 I got it to work by typing her a last name after Maggie and then enter in the main post and miraculously it worked! 7y
Maggie4483 @RaimeyGallant I am extending the #35RandomActs #giveaway through the end of the month (because thats about the next time I‘ll have an opportunity to go through everything), so PLEASE keep those stories of kindness coming. I‘ll get back to you on the name change. Thank you! 7y
RaimeyGallant @Maggie I'll wait to hear from you about the name change though, if that's okay, because I'm not sure what will happen to the link to your page on my post if you change your name. 7y

So I‘m extra rewarding myself with this reading because I found what I thought was long-lost official SAT documentation of not only all three sets of scores, but how many years of each subject I had going in — this is the next best thing to a HS transcript, which I don‘t have because I went to a tiny private school that closed 20 years ago. Relevant bc Mount Holyoke app is pending and that was the missing piece...😬 #catsoflitsy

kgriffith And yes, that shiny spot on my case is absolutely Xander drool 🤤 😹🙄 7y

LauraBeth I can‘t imagine what a huge pain in the arse that must be to not have your transcripts 7y
kgriffith @LauraBeth If 16-year-old me had had any idea what hell I would go through as a result of my non-traditional schooling, I‘d have done a lot toward documenting my education 🙃 7y

Compromise with my #catsofLitsy Xander, the mama‘s boy of my two: “okay, I‘ll let you get the whole cover in the shot, but my whiskers need to be the FOCUS.” 🙄😻
In other news, this, the fourth and final (😭) installment in the Lightning-Struck Heart series, came out yesterday and I am not prepared.
