Got to hear Melissa Caruso talk about her new book, out today! It‘s a fantasy, mystery, time loop type of book and I can‘t wait to start it.
I also picked up the 3rd book in her Rooks & Ruin series, as I have the first 2 signed already. (Have only read the first book).
It was a great night! CL Herman was the moderator (I‘ve never heard of her), but she was amazing!

pickKembral is a new mother who takes a tiny break from motherhood to join and hopefully enjoy an end of the year party. She used to work as retrieval agent, but has been on maternity leave. When the party turns into a "Groundhog Day" scenario Kembral seems to be the only one who recognises that the party/the mansion is slowly sinking into the echoes (parallel worlds that are similar, but not the same as the "prime" world).

pickContinuing my reread of this series with this book that I don‘t remember at all (other than that I didn‘t like it as a teen). It‘s a pretty quirky story packed full of Romeo and Juliet nods, cats, and an interesting sung magic system. This hardly has anything to do with Chrestomanci compared to the books collected in the first volume. #magic #cats #MultipleWorlds
pickMy husband recently decided he needs more Diana Wynne Jones books in his life, so I'm revisiting some of my favorite high school reads with him. I definitely don't remember a lot of what happens in these books, so the reread has been super fun! #Magic #MultipleWorlds
pickI read this series in high school and absolutely loved it. Right now, I'm rereading it with my husband because now that I've introduced him to Diana Wynne Jones, he's obsessed. I loved this book just as much as an adult. There are a few parts that show their age, of course. The conclusion of the 9 girls situation is so characteristic of Diana's writing! 😂 #Fantasy #MultipleWorlds
so-soSomething about this book just didn't capture my interest. It's a fine book with an interesting premise, but nothing about it felt unique to itself. I might have also felt so-so on the characters.
This was one of my recent #Roll100 picks, though I don't remember why it was on my list! @PuddleJumper

pickThis was a fun read. I can't imagine how frightening it would be to be the people selected as the "safety" for the children in traveling groups just in case everyone else died. The audio book was also really well done. #fantasy #ghost #parallelworlds #multipleworlds
so-soI enjoyed this book, but not quite as much as I enjoyed the first in the series. It's still a great pick for fans of fantasy. It's also a fascinating exploration of fear, especially the anxiety parents experience over their children's safety. #fantasy #talkinganimal #parallelworlds #multipleworlds #innervoice #steampunk
pickI liked this one just as much as the first book. It's a vivid rollercoaster of a read, and provides a good look at generational trauma. #fantasy #magic #ghost #romance #multipleworlds #multiverse #dream #trauma #generationaltrauma #lgbtcharacter
