Book 2 of 2025. This is the sequel to All Our Hidden Gifts and was just as good as the first one! If you like witchy books, this trilogy may be for you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sweet sweet urban fantasy with a big old dash of found family - inject it into my veins!

#12booksof2024 : September

The only downside to this is that it‘s a series that‘s still being written 😭

julesG We have books to look forward to. 😉 3w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I have to get over my aversion to reading the last (and not actually the last in this case, just the last currently available) book in series and finish our buddy read 🫣😭 3w
julesG Take your time. I am ready to listen to the audiobooks again. 😁 3w
Andrew65 Sounds good. 3w

For other #tarot lovers/hoarders like me: how cool is this deck with story types? Isn't it gorgeous? They're sold on #etsy by Dizzy Hazel and you can buy individual cards or the full deck. Wouldn't this be a fun way to choose a next read? The universe might not give you the book you want but can now lead you to the book you need 😂
Anyway, here's the Etsy link if anyone else wants to check these out: https://shorturl.at/8M983

Just playing some PowerWash Simulator (washing a haunted house) while listening to this lovely book about tarot cards.

I have a bit of a book hangover after So Thirsty and Clown in a Cornfield 3 before that.
I want to stay in the spooky season but I don‘t want slasher or black comedy right now.
Which of these two would you suggest?
Or go completely rogue and suggest a good spooky read.

Ruthiella The Silent Companions was pretty spooky. 3mo
Karisa I just recommended The Silent Companions to someone else too. Creepy and so good! 3mo
BookwormAHN I haven't read The Silent Companions yet but The Cloisters was really creepy and good 🐈‍⬛ 3mo

My first #readyourkindle pick this month was not what I expected- I thought it was going to be more of a fantasy but it seemed more of a mystery. No real supernatural elements. The best part was the setting of the Cloisters. I did not like our FMCs either. This one definitely fell a little short. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBee Sorry it wasn‘t a better read! On to the next 🤷‍♀️😂 4mo

4 Stars • The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino (published in Italian in 1973) where characters, unable to speak, use tarot cards to tell their stories. The novel explores themes of fate, chance, and storytelling through the symbolism of tarot, challenging traditional narrative structures by suggesting stories are like cards, reshuffled and reinterpreted endlessly. ⬇️

suvata Divided into two parts:
• Part One: Medieval travelers' tales, focusing on knights, quests, and magic.
• Part Two: Stories involving historical and literary figures in a more courtly setting.

I really like this series. I hope it doesn't lose its momentum. This second book in the series had a few twists that surprised me.

I especially like the not-exactly-4th-wall-breaks, when a character asks a question about the plot/motives that a reader might ask.

This series is going to become an all time favourite because it really does have it all - action, banter, long buried secrets on the verge of resurfacing, a glorious found family of people trying very hard to do their best after the world hasn‘t been very kind.

This book starts off with Rune and Co trying to work out how to get Max out of his (unwanted) marriage contract to the Hanged Man & things escalate from there.

@thegirlwiththelibrarybag I'd have finished by now if it wasn't for sentences like "That's how it usually goes for Brand and I."

Gaaaaah!!! Pulls me out of the story every time.

But I'm getting there.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Can‘t say I noticed 😅 phonetic spelling is my bug bear (I don‘t like it in Winnie the Pooh and I‘m never getting over the knife of never letting go 🫣) 4mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag ?? the difference between "you and I" and "you and me" was drummed into me at an early stage of learning English as a Second Language. I can forgive phonetic spelling, I'm uncertain about comma rules, never know exactly where to place an adverb wg 4mo
julesG ... when using a form of "to be", but this rule I know and it's grating when used incorrectly. Well, we all have our pet peeves 4mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I was always getting picked up for inconstant punctuation in school work 😬 I don‘t really remember being taught anything particularly useful about grammar at school (and I was rubbish at sounding words out which is probably why I hate phonetics so much 🤔) I feel like my schools probably just assumed we‘d work it out 🤪 (edited) 4mo
Leniverse That\'s the worst one for me too. Hypercorrection triggers me in the same way as people who chew with their mouth open. 😑 (edited) 4mo
Leniverse Also feel compelled to add that Litsy adds a backslash automatically when I use an apostrophe, and won\'t let me remove it. It\'s not my fault 😂 4mo
julesG @Leniverse that backslash bug seems to happen to some users, not all. Do you think it's hypercorrection? I spot it more often in books by American authors. It might be considered correct in some "dialects" over there. ? 4mo
Leniverse That's what my English professor at Uni told me. People trying to sound educated and posh thinking it should *never* be "you and me". But I think at this point it has practically become the new standard, and since I believe in language as a living, developing entity, I might have to overcome my instinctual grammatical objection ? 4mo
julesG @Leniverse I think I had a similar lecture, followed by the "developing entity" bit. I'm willing to embrace developments in language, but some things still grate. 4mo
