I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

repost for @StayCurious

Originally we were going to read Tower of Dawn first b/c a few sources online mentioned it would be a more emotional way to go into the final book of the series. I‘ve changed my mind and decided we will read in publication order -which means Empire of Storms first. We will start in December, reading 9 chapters a week, first check in December 8. Please let me know if you‘d like to continue on this #ToG journey with us.

“When I first got a glimpse of you,” said Morris with a smile, “I thought I had come on ahead of myself and got here first.”

Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas story is “Ted‘s Double: A Christmas Folly”—like yesterday‘s tale, this one is new to me! You can find it here: https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20161232/html.php. This is the last of the stories that aren‘t in the tagged collection. ⤵️

BarbaraJean Tomorrow we‘ll read “Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves” (which IS in “Christmas with Anne,” or you can just read ch. 25 from Anne of Green Gables!). 3h
JenlovesJT47 This one is new to me, too. Just finished it. I enjoyed it! Love anything resembling twin shenanigans. ♥️💚♥️ 2h

A really good read. There *was* something about the MC I didn't really like, which somehow made him more "real". I also like that he realizes that a part of him is a lot like his father. The final battle felt a bit anticlimactic, which honestly doesn't surprise me, it usually is LOL. but I liked the relationship dynamics and how it all ended. It feels complete but there is a sequel. I wonder what's next #queer #trans #nonbinary

Icarus | K. Ancrum
Mehso-so

I soon noticed how lonely Icarus was and felt for him. It was really nice to follow his life and how he finally got friends.

This was a good coming-of-age story with romance, for those who want to read one.

Chapters were super short...

I appreciated this book's message, this book made me ponder some important aspects of life.

I really liked the book, but it was slightly too melodramatic to my liking.

Brownstone, by Samuel Teer (illustr. Mar Julia) (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: A New York teenager meets her father for the first time one summer and learns about her Guatemalan heritage.

Review: This is sweet and effective, if very, very simplistic. It does deal with some hard subject matter — child abandonment, biracial identities, homophobia, and gentrification — but in ways that came off a bit too easy. ⬇️

How did I go from being a “normal” reader who reads one book at a time to a chaos monster reading a physical book, a kindle book, an audio/physical combo, and an audiobook all at the same time? Why? I am not built for this life. 😵‍💫🤪😂

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG #EoS Ch.1-9: And we‘re right back into the story - I love it. By this book, SJM knows who her audience is, she knows we‘ve been on this journey with her so far, we don‘t need boring long expositions- we‘re ready to get back in with our characters. It starts off interesting and stays that way - so far. ⬇️

StayCurious Some of my takeaways- Manon is starting to really come into her own. It was interesting to see Elide described as “demon possessed”. Vernon is a weasel. Funny that Erowan took on a new, handsome, athletic body. Although- wouldn‘t you? I love how loyal the members of Aelin‘s court are. Were we really thinking she‘d be welcomed back onto her throne with open arms? Yes, I kinda was. I hate old power grubbing men ⬇️ 24h
StayCurious Telling her to make herself useful by getting married🙄the nerve! I‘m all about Rowan and Aelin now (something I never thought I‘d say given how much of a jerk he started out as)…them being separated is never a good thing…I‘ve rambled on long enough and barely touched the surface - a lots going on. What were some of your key moments? 24h

BarkingMadRead I don‘t like that Rowan left, it worries me. I was so excited that Manon is becoming so sure of herself. I was so shocked that Aelin wasn‘t welcomed back, with everyone we‘ve met already calling her Queen. I‘m hoping Elide is ok, this demon thing worries me! 23h
LiseWorks Oh my goodness, there was a lot going on. Team Manon and Dorian, here they come. 15h
mcctrish Since I couldn‘t get my copy from the library like I wanted, I bought one off of FB marketplace& then started decorating for Christmas & forgot all about reading 🤦🏻‍♀️ Manon for sure has a plan with her 13 that we will be informed of when it‘s convenient, last time Rowan left shit hit the fan so I‘m hoping him rescuing Dorian isn‘t a repeat performance! I want Elide to be safe. Old power hungry men are becoming a hard pass & same old conflict 1h

I'm not sure if I would have liked this better if I were the target audience (which I am decades from being). The italicized chapters written in first POV by the villain were laughable and ridiculous. But it was a quick read that I may just be way too old for.

“…it‘s the spirit of Christmas that counts. It must be a spirit of goodwill and kindness and joy and love. We must never forget the real meaning of Christmas—never let it be dimmed by any false meanings…”

Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas story is “A Christmas of Long Ago”—this one is new to me! Short and sweet. You can find it here: https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20171105/html.php (we‘re still not yet into the tagged collection). Enjoy!
