Swordcrossed | Freya Marske

You know, sometimes I wish it was normal to just have full plot summaries for every book out there on the internet for easy lookup. Right now I'm being too neurodivergent to read more of this book without knowing how things work out, but I keep reading a chapter at a time because I do *want* to finish it.

shanaqui Then I literally just ran across a thread on Bluesky dunking on people who like spoilers ahead of time. The feeling of anticipation and uncertainty is apparently the whole point and is fun.

Bro, it gives me anxiety and I do not enjoy that.

BookishMarginalia I love spoilers. I hate surprises. All my life I‘ve read endings first. (And yes, turns out I‘m autistic) 6h

I'm not really sure why this isn't 100% clicking for me? I'd expected to adore it, but I'm much more inclined to pick up Paladin's Faith (which I'm reading at the same time). Hmm.

I was tempted to read vol 4 of MDZS but in the end I used my internetless evening to finish this off. Now just two books left to complete my November #BookSpinBingo.

This was okay. Fairly predictable, all in all, with the main characters both stupidly keeping secrets. A very light pick, maybe a so-so. I wasn't tempted to DNF but I won't read more in the series.

More Happy Than Not | Adam Silvera

Pickpick

This was the only available book of Adam Silvera at our library right now, so I went with this one. I don't know what I expected, but it sure wasn't what I got. It took me a while to get into it, but at some point the story really takes off. It's heart-breaking, moving and sometimes hard to read. And it's a very, very, very important message Silvera shares with us.

Oof, I wish it didn't bounce around in time so much!

But oh boy, that first kiss was SO cute. Ahh, Lan Wangji, you're such an idiot.

A Language of Limbs | Dylin Hardcastle

An absolute heartbreaker! Two limbs: both are Australian girls who are attracted to/in love with their female best friends. Told in alternating chapters: one limb grows up to marry a man, the other is out and lives with found family. Both women/stories are impacted by the AIDS epidemic and both tragic, albeit with very different events. I loved this and was torn apart by both women‘s stories.

Lesliereadsalot My favorite book of the year! 4d

Fish male pregnancy was not on my bingo board for this year ...

This is still delightful but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other volumes. I don't like the perfect children trope and the children featured very heavily in this

shanaqui The babies are pretty prominent in the fourth volume too; I was warned going in, but ahaha, it's such a completely out there series. 4d
PuddleJumper @shanaqui I figured they would be! I'm still really enjoying the series but I do skim the kid bits 😅 4d

I decided to get started on this right away, so I won't fall out of remembering who's who again, and can build on what I remember from book two.

Of course, that means it's instantly gone into flashback mode with some new characters on top...

Wolfsong | Tj Klune

Mehso-so

I love Klune‘s books but knew this would be different. My rating is because of the pacing; I liked the story. How does an author make a story about werewolves slow??!! This is about 500 pages but could have been much shorter.
Really loved the characters & dialogue—strengths of Klune. I may try the 2nd book if it‘s not as slow. Since I‘ve been pointing out steam 🌶 levels in other reviews, I‘ll warn this one has 2 very graphic M/M sex scenes.

This was such a cute and quick read. It shows more of Sakura‘s power growing. It had cute little stories about Sakura and her friends. I can‘t wait to read the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
