bailedGoing to #HailTheBail on this one @Read4life . I think this is more a me thing! I got half way through and just couldn't get into this book. I guess ghosts and secret societies are not for me. I wasn't a fan of back and forth time periods in such a short span. I also didn't feel like the book really progressed at all for the entire first half. May pick it up again in the future but on to other books for now!

pickSo I think this is the children‘s book… I think it‘s meant to teach children the alphabet. I think this because it goes through the alphabet by using the child‘s name. What makes me question it, is the fact that it proceeds to tell you the ghastly way that child died. Super dark for an alphabet book.
Her task was not even complete when the first ymbryne alighted on the sill of her open window.
When each call was answered, she said only one thing.
“He‘s back.”

“I was trying to suggest a reconciliation, but…”
“What was the reason for the separation?”
A third coffee. He definitely needed a third coffee. Normally Trent would be drowning his sorrows with tea, but there were some things in this world that tea could not fix. It was definitely a coffee morning.
“We were having some personal problems.”
“Who had the affair, you or her?”
The way Birch asked disturbed Trent more than the question itself.
pickI saw this gorgeous graphic novel in the YA room of the library a few months ago. The art intrigued me, along with the Gaelige words (Siúil, a Rúin — sometimes spelled rún; this means, ‘Walk, my love‘).
I had no idea what it was about. I didn‘t check it out that day, and each time I looked again afterwards, it wasn‘t on the shelf…until a couple of weeks ago, with volume 2. I checked them both out. This is not my first graphic novel, but it⬇️
My next listen… just finished book 1 of the Shepherd King duology, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to use my current credit on Audible to get book 2.
pickThis one had a lot of the usual fantasy tropes, but I still enjoyed it. I loved the romance. There were times I found the MC annoying, but she grew on me. I really enjoyed the plot though. I kept listening wanting to know what happens next. Cards imbue the holder with magic, but wander the woods without a charm and you might be infected with powerful but degenerative magic that doesn‘t require the use of a card. “Everything comes with a price.”
