One of the books that has been on my TBR the longest. Finally getting to the book that everyone else has read and so far I‘m really enjoying it.

Reading for the The Great Library prompt and for bookquest which involves reading through my unread shelves #bookjunkietrials #teambard #currentlyreading #bookquest

This book is HYPED in the book communities I belong to and even at the SciFi and Fantasy bookstore I go to.

It‘s also SciFi and I still feel like an imposter saying I like SciFi since I haven‘t read a lot in the genre.

Due to these reasons, may I introduce you to my intimidating read at the Giant Squid for the #bookjunkietrials for team #bard ?

shanaqui I hope you enjoy it! But hey, if you don't, you don't -- no pressure. 😅 Plenty more SF in the world! 5y

My indulgent read for the Empty Barrel Inn prompt in the #bookjunkietrials

Also the team #bard weakness is to read a book with music or poetry in it so this counts.

I‘ve been reading one poetry collection a month this year as poetry was an area I wasn‘t giving a lot of love to in my reading life and I‘ve been really glad that I‘ve been able to follow this challenge and get amazing poems along the way

I haven‘t been feeling the best this week and therefore haven‘t been reading that much (which is how you can tell something is off with me!).

I have been managing bits and pieces of Spinning Silver, my atmospheric read for the Hallow Isle in the #bookjunkietrials

Definitely a great read for winter, which it is here in Australia ❄️

What a different twist on space travel! The main character is preparing to go to Mars in 2045. Along the way, she finds an unknown connection to family, an old woman named Lily. Lily lives on a farm in Kansas, where we find some letters from 2 characters from the past. The first, Catherine, is a teen during the dust bowl. The second, Lenore, is a teen after WW1 in Britain who wants to reunite with her best friend who moved to the US. Its a ⬇️

rjsthumbelina ...beautiful book about what it means to be human. Deep dives into the ideas of grief, connection with another living being, connection to a place, and the importance of relationships other than romantic ones. 4.5 🌟 1st book compketed for the #bookjunkietrials for #dwarfmount, with just a hint of romance in both Catherine's and Lenore's stories 5y

So I read my first book for the #bookjunkietrials on team #bard
I really enjoyed this SciFi retelling of the Arthur legend. It‘s diverse and has a found family that I adore.

The first challenge at Elven guard is done and I got past those elves by brushing up on my political skills that I learnt from this book 😉

Onwards to the hallow isle and my atmospheric read!

These 4, plus Stardust (the group book), are my TBR for the #bookjunkietrials, which goes all the way through July. I am a #scribe though, so I get to change my TBR if I so choose 🙃

I am participating in the #bookjunkietrials for July in team #bard
If you would like to see my reasoning behind the picks, check out my blog post here: http://bit.ly/2Yr0hPy
Ambitious but doable and fits a few more Hugo reads in to help finalise my nominations before end of July!
