I enjoyed my #TBRtarot pick this month. It was a slow burn and of course ended on a cliffhanger so now we must wait for the next book. This had lots of mythology, a strong FMC and an impending war between heaven and hell. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kakuriyo, volume 2:
Another read from my TBR pile. It had been quite a while since I watched the anime and read the manga…so that it was refreshing to catch up with these characters again ☺️ Gotta get volume 3 next!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

“It‘s true. Because you are my reason.” “You called me that last night.” “I did. You‘re my mate, but you‘re also my reason. My reason to exist. My reason to survive. My reason to hunt, to fight, to endure. I do it all for you, and for the chance that, someday, you might return just a fraction of the love I have for you, my mate.”

I bought a special omnibus edition of this series which I‘ll show once I‘m done the series. For now, book 1 was a great intro to this world with a pet 🦝 ! I‘m in and ready to start book 2.
Book 71 of 2024

I LOVED the first half of this, which was a welcome surprise because mysteries typically aren‘t my thing. Then, the election happened and I was suddenly less invested. That‘s also around when the mystery picked up. Your guess is as good as mine about whether my flagging enthusiasm was due to a change in the book or in the world.

What I can say, with certainty, is that C.M. Waggoner is incredibly funny. I‘ll definitely be reading more of her work!

Very fun!

This was a hoot. This gives you a feel for the story.

“” Of course,” Sheriff Brown said, and then slowly, deliberately started turning his head 280 degrees around on his neck … A second later he groaned and put both hands to his neck. “What the—did I just—“My neck—“”

And her cat is possessed by Thomas Cromwell!! Not very well written, but like popcorn, you just can‘t put it down.

I stayed up late last night, but made myself stop doomscrolling and instead read. So I finished this book. It was a fever dream of a book and a perfect escape for the moment. It takes place in a city over centuries as a demon and angel rebuild the city the angel helped destroy. Very beautifully written. Harsh at times, but beautiful.
