Mehso-so

This was a different type of mystery, with elements that confused me (though I‘ve been reading this for a few months with breaks, so I may have forgotten why certain things happen). Truelove reminds me of Amelia Peabody, though I like Peabody a bit more. The ghost of Queen Victoria speaking to Truelove was odd. So-so book for me.

I didn‘t think I could love a book more than I did the first two, but it happened! Marske makes excellent use of a trope I usually hate - enemies to lovers - and continues to build on already vivid character and world dynamics. She‘s also a master at spicy scenes if those are your jam, constantly one-upping her prior scenes somehow. Given how much I love this series, I was delighted to see a glimmer of more on the horizon. #lgbtqia #magic

5⭐️

This is an extraordinary novel that depicts the entangled lives of the Wellwood, Fluud, and Cain families at the end of the 19th and into the 20th century. Byatt is remarkable in her descriptions of the Kentish countryside during the halcyon days of childhood.
I was reading this for the WWI prompt for #BookedinTime I'm not sure it counts as the war only appears in the last few chapters. However, by giving us such a detailed, prolonged

Cont

AllDebooks Glimpse into the characters' lives makes it all the more emotional knowing what is on the horizon. This is the 1st time I have cried over a book for a very long time. Byatt also catalogues the rapid changes in idealisms, technologies, and social advances that occurred on the Edwardian period by placing her characters in the midst of it all. 4mo
AllDebooks I was enthralled with the Arts and Crafts movement, literary salons and creativity surging through the text. I'm utterly obsessed with Lalique's dragonfly brooch. 4mo

Sunday came around fast!
Are you planning on joining our Sunday #HyggeHour readathon? What will you be reading/doing?

We have the Euro finals tonight, so I'll probably be moving my #Hyggehour to an earlier time. Come on, England ⚽️

I‘m going on a cruise next month, so if there‘s a book that gets more than one post that I haven‘t read, I will buy it to read on the ship!

This book was blurbed to me as Knives Out with lesbians on a boat. Which definitely worked, but also short changed this a little bit.

It‘s also got magic and ghosts and jewel thieves! And a plan to save the magicians of Britain!

#SundayFunday Have a great day everyone and don‘t forget to tag me!

Kenyazero This was my most recent book on a boat that I really enjoyed! 4mo
julesG A Restless Truth is great. And it's just the first in the trilogy. 4mo
julesG @monalyisha I liked this book, too. 4mo

It's really hard to choose between an intricate fantasy and a beautiful romance but alas these are the choices we're forced to make. A Power Unbound taking the title for the first half of the year 🏆

The last piece of the Last Contract is waiting to be found, the Assembly is close to seizing control of all the magic in Britain, & Jack & Alan cannot keep their hands off each other.

A solid ending! A slow burn (plot wise, not 🌶 wise), all of my favorite characters back, marvelous world building, all my questions answered! & a heist! I wasn‘t quite as invested in the romance as the first 2 books, but I was sold by the end. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
