And my first T. Kingfisher is in the books! This one was creepy and funny and there‘s a dog and now I just have to decide which one to read next for #authoramonth.

Reading the book with my own bone dog.
Read Thornhedge last year with #CoverToCover Round 5 #LitsyGoesPostal that @Soubhiville set up for us in 2017!

I‘ve been so happy seeing all the T Kingfisher books popping up on Litsy lately, and all the Littens that are newly enjoying her writing thanks to #authoramonth 🎉
I took the opportunity to finally get to the second book in the Sworn Soldier series and while I loved the Poe allusions in book 1 more, I liked continuing Alex‘s story in this book. I also love Kingfisher‘s asides, like in the quote above. Relatable, and funny 😆

Even though you know how the plot is supposed to end, it still takes you by surprise! Princess Marra, now almost a nun, sets out to save her sister married to a brutal prince. She completes magical tasks and hooks up with an insane entourage—all of whom bring something special to the group, and yet in no way could possibly pull off their plan. And they meet up with some creepy characters along the way, too. Other than Marra‘s excessive ⬇️

Fourth book finished for the year. Review to come.

Great author of magical tales! So glad for #authoramonth introducing me to her!

Sleeping Beauty with a twist. My first by T. Kingfisher and I really enjoyed it!

The mail just came! Thanks so much for the books, @Soubhiville - I enjoy reading for #AuthorAMonth with every new story.

As I‘m sure many of you will attest to, this week has been a difficult one and the package on my doorstep definitely brought a moment of joy amidst *all of this* going on out in the world right now.

For January‘s #AuthorAMonth, I chose the first book in this children‘s series by Ursula (aka T. Kingfisher) in honor of my childhood pet hamster Squeaky. ☺️It‘s a sweet retelling (with a hilariously fun “girl power” twist!) of the Sleeping Beauty tale. Loved Ursula‘s spunky heroine Harriet, her cool illustrations and witty sense of humor. Will definitely be reading more! 🙌🏻

This week has been a week & I‘m behind on haikus. I wrote this one last night inspired by Silent Book Club. I missed December‘s meeting due to work events so it was nice to be back, although the early bird small talk was an effort!😉

The tagged book is the book I brought (along with my Kindle for after dark) reading it for #AuldLangSpine #AuthorAMonth
