so-soMy interest waned throughout the story. I did enjoy the glimpses of McGlue's past and his relationships. But there was this disconnect in vocabulary or word choices that dampened my enjoyment.

pickNayler‘s pro-animal scifi with heavy environmental themes speaks to me!
This 100 page novella is fast paced and is about Wooly Mammoths that have been cloned from ancient DNA. And the ability to implant digitally saved human minds into new bodies.
I didn‘t love this as much as The Mountain in the Sea, but I tend to enjoy full novels more than novellas in general.
Pictured is Sietje at work allowing a puppy to share her bed- uncommon!
pickI forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!
I brushed a hand over his cheek to wipe away the last of his tears, his skin warm and soft, and we turned down the street that would lead us home. Toward our future—and all that waited within it.
To the dreams that are answered, Rhys.

pickBefore I started this one, I realized it was a reread and that I had read it before and posted about it on Litsy. (I can't recall the year offhand but I think it was before I bought my house). Initially, I could not understand why I gave this the review I had, but as I worked my way through this novella, it became more clear. Still a good read and glad I found this on my shelf to revisit. (Pictured here with my next read)
pickIt‘s Ali Hazelwood. So, cute romcom stories about grumpy, handsome and very tall men and cute, tiny women. Everyone is smart and there‘s at least one word I can‘t pronounce. But they are fun, and even if they are similar to each other, they are different enough from other books that I‘ll keep reading them. #doublespin #bookspinbingo
pickI had confused this with the Empress of Salt & Fortune - but a happy mistake as I found this absolutely hilarious. It starts with a brawl in a coffee house ending with the waitress, a nun of the order of the pure 🌕 reflected in water tracking down a group of bandits & angrily asking to join them on their travels. Trouble is never far behind - I did get a little lost in the names (there is a handful of bandits to keep track of) in the audiobook.
pickThis is now in my top three Wayward Children books. This one was delightful and sad, like most of this series. I 🥰🥰🥰 this series do much.
Check out these novellas, you won‘t regret it. McGuire/Grant is a must buy author for me.🥰
My only complaint is that they are so short.
I like the way this #grannysquare came out for my #bookblanket2025

so-soI don‘t know why I read books that I know aren‘t for me. In this case, it was because it‘s a read-alike for the HBO show The Last of Us (loved and can‘t wait for season 2 in April!). The mushroom/mycelium content was cool but I‘m just not into horror and fantasy. A retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher, but nothing really grabbed me. Read this for the atmosphere but not plot/character.
