Sorry for bad quality. Taking pictures at 5am isn't the best idea 😅

But anyways - I finally get to my next round of #BookishMonopoly 👏 I landed on Favorite Author and immediately knew that it's going to be the newest book (in German translation at least) by Natasha Pulley. Just didn't get around to start it until now.

@AkashaVampie

PuddleJumper I totally forgot about the monopoly challenge! I'll have to do better next year now

Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Easy there, I'm sure it's fine 🫶 now

PuddleJumper @Jari-chan ❤️❤️ It's very much 'if I can't see it, it doesn't exist' 😅 now

Jari-chan @PuddleJumper The neurodiverse experience 🤣 now

When the Tides Held the Moon | Venessa Vida Kelley

pick

Realized I hadn‘t posted this one but I LOVED it. Buddy read with a friend (who likes historical fic/fantasy) and then found out it‘s Simon Snow fanfic! Río and Benny are just…I love them, your honor. The found family aspect of this book is so heartwarming and I can‘t wait to see what‘s next from Vida Kelley (she‘s going to continue in this same line with different elements! I think air is next?).

This was a great book--4.5 ⭐'s. The only thing keeping it from a 5⭐ was the relationship between Alba and her uncle bothered me. I don't mind that it was there, but the graphic nature of it was a little much for me in terms of being open door.

Greenteeth | Molly O'Neill

This is such an exciting reading list to receive! I narrowed it down to my top five picks—each one is available at my library and all by authors who are new to me. I‘m starting with Greenteeth, which has been on my TBR for a while. Thank you for the wonderful list, @BookmarkTavern, and an extra big thank you to @monalyisha for all the hard work you‘ve put into making #AuldLangSpine happen! #AuldLangSpine #AuldLangSpine2026

TheBookHippie Pet is so good. 2d

BookmarkTavern Oh yay! You‘re starting with my favorite! I hope you find something on this list you enjoy! 💕 2d

ShyBookOwl I started Greenteeth as an audiobook to sleep too, and it was so good I decided I'm going to listen it in my waking hours instead lol It's now high up on my TBR 1d

Tigana: Anniversary Edition | Guy Gavriel Kay

I've been striking out a lot lately and feeling dissatisfied with the writing style of many of the newer authors I've been picking up. So, having remembered I liked the couple of Guy Gavriel Kay novels I've read in the past, I decided to work through his oevre. And you've got to admit, this blurb right here is a heckuva flex.

Ten Thousand Doors of January | Alix E Harrow

bailed

I originally skipped this when it came out but have liked Harrow‘s other books so I thought I‘d give it a try. But it‘s just not working for me. I‘m finding it disjointed which is making me uninterested. I‘m glad I skipped it before so it didn‘t stop me from enjoying her other books!
