bailed53% into this one, and I keep zoning out. Maybe The Dark Tower series just isn't my thing. Or maybe it's just the wrong time for it for me. 🤷♀️

pickI've had this one on my TBR for a while but I never felt in the mood but once I saw that Curry narrated the audio, I needed to give it a listen!
The whole book just takes me back to the way fantasy books used to be written with heavy world building and so much detailing!
Plus I loved Sabriel's portrayal in the book. She's young and unsure at the beginning. It's been a while since I've read a character like her.

pickWhat a dreamlike quality novella.
I was a bit unsure at the beginning because of the very flowery prose but for the way the magic or "Grammer" is set up it works here. I'm not one for flowery prose in general but I've encountered more and more of it as of late.
This was the perfect length for the story. Absolutely an ethereal read.

Silly but very fun YA alternative history depicting the three children of Henry VIII and Lady Jane Grey. Unlike the recent TV series (of which I have only watched one episode but will now resume), this is perfectly suitable for my history-loving 10 year old. I loved the elements of magic and that [spoiler alert], unlike the true history, many of my favourites get happy endings.
A lovely break from my Booker reading.
Hey @Charityann , here‘s your list for #TrappedInASpookyHouse . Several of these books are on my TBR, so I‘m excited to see what you think! Happy Spooky Reading!!
pickThis is from before his big hit and honestly it's right on par with his later books. Definitely recommend if you're one of his fans.

pickScarlett has always wanted to be invited to join the Caraval game, and for years sent letters to Legend, the master of ceremonies, telling him why she should be invited. When she and her sister finally get invited to the game just days before Scarlett's wedding, she's not sure she should go. Her sister Tella tricks her into it, and when she gets there, nothing is truly as it seems.
pickSomebody points out to the Tin Man that he never reconnected with the girl whose love caused him to be chopped up and turned to tin. Time for an adventure! The usual random bizarre assortment of creatures and places await. I appreciated Baum explaining a bit of the history of Oz becoming a fairyland where no one dies, though as a mom I‘m horrified at the prospect of babies staying babies forever. Then again, if they can‘t die, maybe not so bad?
