pickI‘m usually skeptical of holiday specials in a series, but I enjoyed this continuation of the character‘s relationships, & the mystery was very interesting as well. A little bit sappy as the immortals search for the perfect gifts for eachother, including a somewhat misguided decision to gift a mystery in an attempt to keep married life from being a bore.

Life has cut back on my reading time. Finally getting to the second book of this series I promised my oldest I would read.
pickI really adored Sage, P and Oren! Several secondary characters were interesting but could have been more fleshed out.
The beginning was super good and I was intrigued. But this didn't work really well as a mystery book, maybe it was a bit too ambitious trying to combine so many genres in one novel. As a fantasy book this worked better, I really loved the world and this felt refreshing to read.
Sorry for bad quality. Taking pictures at 5am isn't the best idea 😅
But anyways - I finally get to my next round of #BookishMonopoly 👏 I landed on Favorite Author and immediately knew that it's going to be the newest book (in German translation at least) by Natasha Pulley. Just didn't get around to start it until now.

pickThe Call of Cthulhu (and other stories), by H.P. Lovecraft (1928 etc)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: Classic tales of terror and dread about the potential awakening of a long-dormant power.
Review: This is as powerfully atmospheric and dread-inspiring as reputed. It‘s also as unabashedly racist as reputed. It‘s a telling window into the anxieties of an age that has sadly proven to be not as bygone as we‘d thought. Yikes. ⬇️

pickRealized I hadn‘t posted this one but I LOVED it. Buddy read with a friend (who likes historical fic/fantasy) and then found out it‘s Simon Snow fanfic! Río and Benny are just…I love them, your honor. The found family aspect of this book is so heartwarming and I can‘t wait to see what‘s next from Vida Kelley (she‘s going to continue in this same line with different elements! I think air is next?).
