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.

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.

The beginning is mildly amusing but after about the half-way mark as we get closer to the author's own day the premise is abandoned and the book more and more blatantly refers to contemporary French politics,

pickI enjoyed this and the grounding in details of the wool industry quite a bit ultimately, but waiting for the payoff had me anxious, especially given the relationship between them also gets so amped up and explosive.
And a #BookSpinBingo blackout, and it's not even the last day of the month! It just kinda. Happened.
