pickA little bit of brain candy after a run of more serious books! This series is always fun - in this one I preferred the fantasy to the romance but I think KJ Charles was mainly expanding the universe and bringing in some new characters. I loved the wind walkers so she‘s totally hooked me of course. PS these books do have explicit sex scenes so fair warning if that is something you avoid.
pickI rushed through this one eager to find out what happened next and how the situations would be resolved.
Overall, the trilogy falls into the category of guilty pleasure in that Ms Charles writes a darn good yarn but her central gay couple mimic straight romantic and sexual roles to the point I'm not sure how much difference it'd make to the relationship if Stephen had been Stephanie.
1️⃣ Chocolate. Those are what I have in my cubbard today.
2️⃣ ⬆️
3️⃣ Morphine and other opiates, iodine, foods high in oxalates.
4️⃣ Orderly.
5️⃣ Wrinkle in Time, and yes I recommend it.

pickPretty good for what it is. The 'pay off' came very late and wasn't as hot or smutty as I'd like, and a bit short. The book on the whole is quite good and the plot was well done. Overall, I'd say that it needed a few more words about everything, the motivations, the characters, the descriptions. Everything was just a bit too tight, a bit too concise. It was fun!
The book is still fun, but the translation is becoming apparent in places. "Practice makes perfect," was turned into "Le pratique est la clé su succès," which is awkward at best. Oh, well.
1️⃣Live, unadulterated, completely disordered, unprettied shelfie!
2️⃣Future, every time. The past is work for me.
3️⃣Nope. Stopped drinking in 1989.
4️⃣Green.
5️⃣Tagged. And also fanfic.

Ok, so I might have been reading K/S fanfic instead of finishing the tagged book and I might also have changed my phone's background pic as a result. Maybe. Kinda.
Been reading this one in French, mostly because that requires even less brain power than in the original English. I like it so far. The writing is tight, if a bit brusque, but I don't know if that's because of the translation or if it was in the original. In any case, I should be done in a couple more sittings.
1️⃣ Tagged.
2️⃣ Probably tagged, still.
3️⃣ No party per se. We'll be watching the Bye Bye 2017 on tv, as is tradition, then sleep. Tomorrow night, we'll be stuffing our faces with Peking duck.

Woke to a cold house at 13ºC inside. Someone (pictured) had changed the heater settings before leaving for Québec City and not set them back. Gonna read some until the temperature gets back to 21ºC.
pickI enjoyed this third instalment of the A Charm of Magpies series as much as the first and more than the second. Lord Crane is in love with Simon but unhappy to have to hide his feelings in public. Simon is very invested in his magical policeman gig and doesn't want to leave England. A fun historical fantasy #romantsy book 🔥
pickFinally finished this last book in the A Charm of Magpies trilogy. It's a satisfying conclusion to the paranormal historical romance series centering on two characters that are interesting foils for each other. Charles is an adept writer. I just wish there weren't so many missing words in the ebook version. #24in48
pickI admit I prefer K.J. Charles' Society of Gentleman series. However, this series is very fun if you like paranormal. The couple has witty banter and class differences, and that's my catnip. 😸#romance #paranormal #historical
My only reading equipment is my old school Kindle - and this case with a built-in book light. Right now, we're experiencing a bit of winter weather, so a fleece blanket is also required reading equipment. #readjanuary
