#ShelfLove

My #BookSpin list for February is full of books from my TBR, with the exception of Night Shift by Stephen King, which is the #LosersClub book of the month. I will be getting it from the library since I don't already own it. All of the other books will qualify for my #ShelfLove reading challenge and many of them will qualify for the #2025OffMyShelf prompts as well. I picked mostly shorter books since February is usually not a good month for me.

Opal (a Raven Cycle Story) | Maggie Stiefvater

Pickpick

This was my #BookSpin for January, and overall, it's a solid Pick. Though it's the last book in the Raven Cycle series, it's only a short story and is told from Opal's perspective. You would definitely need to have read the other books in the series to understand what is going on and why. Though I haven't read Call Down the Hawk yet, I imagine that this is a nice bridge between the 2 series. #ShelfLove #2025OffMyShelf

Rarely can I call a novel informative, but in addition to an interesting plot and well drawn characters, this book provides lessons on ASL and Deaf history. Highly recommend.

Charlie is deaf but was deprived of ASL and told to rely on her (malfunctioning) CI. When her parents divorce, she finally starts at a deaf high school. Meanwhile, the headmistress of the school is dealing with cutbacks and a deaf mother with dementia. Austin, who comes ⬇️

You guys this book was INCREDIBLE. This is the first supernatural YA I have read in quite some time and I completely devoured it in just a few days. I loved Vera and Max working together to save his mom and I almost wish this would turn into a short series. This was the perfect read to start spooky season off right!
