pickThe moomin display at B&N piqued my curiosity and I went ahead and grabbed some the Moomin series from the library. I read Moominland Midwinter to match the storm outside, but now I‘m following the order of the series. It‘s very charming, but the show Moominvalley (2019) really brought the characters to life for me. I enjoyed some of the 90s episodes too. I was really excited to learn Jansson was queer and that Moomin and Snufkin are queer-coded.
so-so3.5✨ I was really confused at first, but then it started to get interesting. I didn‘t like the constant repeating of the MC‘s name in almost every sentence of dialogue, but really enjoyed the ending after so much happening with the other characters. @Littlewolf1
The White Tree / Edward W Robertson
Fevered Star / Rebecca Roan horse
Separation of Church and Hate / John Fielding
Hope to finish the first two, and get a start on the third. Another Perry Rhodan adventure may also be on the block ...

Crossing all my fingers for Samuel Rain to get a book
The sun had not yet risen on the first day after the new year's winter solstice, and it felt not at all as if an age had ended, but Balam knew better.

pickThis was a solid start to a new fantasy series!
It follows a common story, a boy finds out he‘s the chosen one and must embark on a quest to save his world.
I loved the quest aspect. Quests in fantasy books are one of my favorite things to read about. They are always so fun. This book set up the quest nicely.

so-soI‘m still invested in this series and finding out what happens, but this wasn‘t the strongest in the series. It‘s getting to be just one traumatic episode after the next! Like, I joked with my mom (we‘ve been listening to these together when we drive to visit my sister) that I should‘ve mentioned reading these when my new therapist asked if I‘ve had any traumatic experiences 😆 But I thought the last few chapters were a solid set up the next book.
I've read 200 pages of this werewolf novel today and absolutely love it, but it is also a very tricky book to discuss without wading into spoiler territory.
3rd one finished for my sister in law.
