Did you receive any books as gifts during the holidays? I read the Jade City audiobooks a few years ago, and now I have these beautiful paperbacks for my shelves 😍
April belongs to The Book of Love. I‘ve loved Kelly Link‘s short stories, so I was happy to love her full length work too. This is such a weird book, but I really enjoyed it!

pickAn excellent re-read. Forgot how absolutely jam-packed the first book in this series is. I think it's that only book series where I would recommend the audiobook over the physical and insist on 1x playback because Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is THAT GOOD of a narrator/performer. The jazzy chapter intros don't hurt either. Might take a bit with the library hold list, but I think I'm set to reread the whole series at this point. 1/?
pickI know the story from the manhwa (which is up to this point preeetty faithful to this version), but it was still fun to read it in this format and get just a little more of the detail. Jinwoo is so clueless about people's feelings, ahahaha.
Enjoyed it a lot.
I seem to have caught a winter cough so Rolo is helping me recover as I read in bed. This book is interesting and kind of gives me the urban fantasy equivalent of The Last Wish vibes.
Today‘s BN #bookhaul to spend my Christmas gift card. I asked for the tagged, but didn‘t really expect to get it. The Hekate has the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I can‘t wait for the next book (both to read it and to see what it looks like). The Time Machine is for homeschool literature on a few months - I thought I had it, but can‘t find it anywhere. Kiddo didn‘t spend all her gift cards in one go, but very carefully considered her purchases. 👇🏻
The B&N I went to for all my childhood is moving buildings, which means: 50% off everything in the store! Not a bad little haul.
Thank you for the lovely #NaughtyListHolidaySwap, @BarkingMadRead ! I'm so excited to read the books, the bookmarks are awesome, and the decorative sign is perfect for the "Spirits and Spirits" (ghost stories and cocktails) party we're hosting this weekend!
And thank YOU for hosting #nlhs, @WildAlaskaBibliophile and @TieDyeDude !
