The Witchstone | Henry H. Neff

It‘s stupid cold. I‘ve made myself finish off a cowl and I‘ll start something else. The Witchstone is fun though. Kinda jaunty with the air of a heist yet to happen.

Dreams Lie Beneath | Rebecca Ross

Another great Rebecca Ross book! I love her magic systems- they are always unique. In this one wardens record nightmares and have to fight them every month until a curse is broken. Lots of magical secrets and disguises with a satisfying ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do Your Worst | Rosie Danan

Finished in September - an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers romance. It is set in Scotland so I was excited to read it before our trip there this fall. I loved the combo of the rule-following archaeologist and the more chaotic curse-breaker. The bit of magical realism was fun and made the stakes seem higher. I would read another book with these two on their further adventures solving the unexplained.

Ozzie thinks I need to give him an apology for making him move off my lap to go eat dinner. Now he‘s happily back on my legs as we settle down to read tonight.

Not a lot of great books in February, so this was my favorite read. A romance set in a creepy/haunted castle.

I found this via IG, as the author has hysterical Book Goblin reels, and decided to give this series a try. I like Wheatley‘s writing style. The world building is good, even if the set up drags a bit. The ending is open, prepped for the sequel. I‘m looking forward to seeing how things play out.

ReadingOver50 I love the book Goblin videos too! 4w
Eyelit Gotta love book goblin! 4w

DGRachel @Soubhiville She has several complete series and has a new series that starts early next year. 4w
Soubhiville That‘s so cool. I‘m not sure why I didn‘t know that. Definitely planning to give her a try this year. 🙂📚 4w
julesG I think you're the first person I know who has read one of her books. Yes, there are lots of positive reviews, but I tend to look for reviews from people I know before getting a book that might be "epic". I'm allergic to "epic" novels. ("epic" to me means something along "drawn out plot/world-building/character development and endless/unnecessary descriptions of mundane things") 4w
DGRachel @julesG I think she did a good job with the initial world building but yes, there are definitely some things she‘s intentionally drawing out and I‘m not best pleased about it. But, the first book was good enough that I want to read at least the next and since they were on sale for a reasonable price, I went ahead and bought the remaining 5 ebooks. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4w
julesG Okay! Thanks. I'm off to have a look at whether they are on sale here too. 4w

This Cursed House | Del Sandeen

Eesh. Not my favorite from #aardvark. This felt a little thin and drawn out to me. I eventually ended up skimming. Better editing (and cutting about 75 pages of redundant stuff) could‘ve helped.

Jemma finds employment at a house in New Orleans. She initially thinks she‘s being hired as a tutor, but the family has different ideas and is hiding a lot of secrets. Some may unlock parts of Jemma‘s past.

Dreams Lie Beneath | Rebecca Ross

Another potential four star turned to three. I loved the plot and setting, but realized I didn't love the characters or romance. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to other books by Rebecca Ross, but there was something stopping me from loving it.
