Tonight‘s read. #authoramonth #LordPeterWhimsey #LitsyAtoZ #letterU

Hart, a demigod, is a marshal in Tanria who delivers bodies to Mercy the undertaker at Birsdall & Son. The only thing Hart likes about going there is Mercy's dog Leonard. Hart is gruff and jaded, since his job also includes killing drudges (zombies) that take over the bodies of the dead. There's absolutely nothing Mercy likes about Hart whenever he shows up at Birdsall & Son.

I think we‘ve had a record number of players for #christmasatoz. Still a few days to go! Who is on their way to a total blackout (I am!)? How about bingos? Post your updates! Remember first letter of titles (with or without articles), first, or last names count! Count short stories separately!! #wintergames #xmaschacha @StayCurious

A short companion book to Scalzi's Locked In series, worthwhile for fans of the novels.

I wanted to like it. It started off strong, (FMC is taken by the Dragon, no one knows why the girls are taken from the village, but it turns out less nefarious than she guessed, subverts so tropes when the ‘handsome prince‘ arrives) but it got …confusing? Or maybe it just didn‘t hold my attention. But suddenly there were a lot of characters & battles built up to end in mere pages… +forced love story…

This wasn‘t my favorite but I‘m not sure why. I couldn‘t ever decide if I was supposed to like the FMC or if I just thought she was vapid and a bit immature. While I do like the fake dating trope, this one got crazy really quickly, and wasn‘t very believable to me.

I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader

Seven books read in September. I finished the #LitsyAtoZ challenge this month with the #letterU! Two books read for #authoramonth, 3 for #foodandlit #Malaysia, 2 for #readingOceania #Australia and #Samoa. @Soubhiville @Catsandbooks @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

When Louis tried to stop a man from beating his dog, Louis‘s response to the man justifying himself was priceless: “He‘s not your dog. He‘s God‘s dog.“
