#TBRStartofanEra - It's Me! ( Viral hit)
#TBRJanuary
#TheBookwormRevolution

Another excellent installment of this series. I am completely invested! The MC has taken a darker turn, but is still likeable and there is some humor here and there as well. And the action and art is still of the highest quality!

#TheBookwormRevolution

This was a refreshingly different read, even amongst other books in verse I've read. You can tell the author gave a lot of thought into constructing the verses written, giving each character a unique structure, while still maintaining an air of humor, lightheartedness, and modern language. ⬇️

According to Storygraph, this is my third time reading this book (and it may actually be my fourth), and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it. It is a strange, beautifully poetic, confounding at times read that sticks with you. ⬇️

This was such an amazing intro into a fascinating world. I'm fully invested in the MC and want to know more about this strange world of portals and dungeons. And the art! My goodness it is good, and genuinely terrifying. I've never felt my blood pump from a graphic novel like this before.

I need more from Hari Conner after reading this. First off, the art is fantastic. It is cute and immediately eye-catching, with an amazing use of color, but what truly stands out is the artist's use of expression. You can immediately tell what the characters are thinking and feeling, and so many panels I wanted to share with my friends due to relatability.⬇️

Yep, been here. 😅

The expressions on Charlotte in these panels made me snort. We've all had those two friends that we were clearly aware were flirting even if they aren't. 😅😅

Reading this for the third or fourth time. I just love it so much and notice something new every time I read it. It is one of #TBRTheBookworkRevolution's Revolution Reads for the month, so I had to read it again!

Sanderson is one of my favorite authors for a reason, and this book showcases the many reasons why. He writes thought-provoking, high-action fantasy, with some of the most nuanced world-building and magic systems around, and yet his books are approachable and his characters are loveable. ⬇️

#TBRStartofanEra -- Our Song
#TBRJanuary
#TheBookwormRevolution

This was a fun, not-to-be-taken-seriously book. I've seen some complaints that the action builds too slowly or that the characters should notice the strange things going on sooner, but I found that to be part of the charm of this book. ⬇️

I've decided to try #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo again. I saw someone's idea of having two lists, and I think that will be great for me. My spin list will be books I own to try to encourage me to read those and my bingo will be criteria for the group I help run, the spins, and the Cosmere read-through I'm doing with my partner. I don't read 25 books a month and the bingo is just for fun, so I've broken it up to make it work for me. :)

What a wonderful, thought-provoking, and aesthetically pleasing book this is. It can be read very quickly, but it sticks with you long after. While simple on the surface, it has depth for readers of all ages...and I think we all need a little reminder that there is still an abundance of love and wonder to be found in the world.

I think we all need this reminder sometimes. 💜☮️🕊️

This book was an absolute delight, especially because of the narrator, who is infectiously enthusiastic. The book was so funny and did not take itself seriously, but still wove a cohesive and entertaining alternate history. I also loved all the pop culture references woven throughout.

For a murder mystery, this was actually a lighthearted read. I found it quite enjoyable, especially due to the quality narrator. While I'm normally not a mystery novel reader, this one was so charming that I plan on reading more in the series.

And finally, my December wrap-up!

Last year was a fabulous reading year with several 5 star reads!

4.0 🌟

I really enjoyed this book. If you love D&D, stories that actually use game mechanics to tell a story, and sapphic romance, you'll likely enjoy this book as well. ⬇️

This was nothing to write home about, but it was enjoyable enough as a quick listen while completing chores. It was a bit ridiculous and the romance was definitely quick and forced, but that said, I liked it enough to listen to the next one when it comes in from the library.

5.0 🌟

I absolutely loved this addition to the series. In fact, it's my favorite one so far and will be a comfort reread. The characters are loveable and fun and I believe that the author is truly settling into this genre.

Gotta love the excitement and trepidation of finally getting your hands on a book you've been anxiously awaiting!

Watching another one of my favorites from the Netflix Christmas Universe -- Holiday in the Wild. Beautiful scenery, elephants, and Robe Lowe!

I quite enjoyed Ben Stiller's new Christmas movie, Nutcrackers. It is definitely more drama than comedy, and Christmas is more of a backdrop, but it was really good.

#WinterGames2024
#XmasChaCha

I love the concept, but I'm not sure it is for me. It was hard to follow (maybe just a little too convoluted for audio?), and while absurd in some funny ways, I think some of the jokes were lost on me. Probably doesn't help that I'm not a Jane Eyre fan. I do like this type of humor and the concept is fun, so I may try more in the series and other books by Jasper Fforde.

No #WinterGames2024 word search words, but this was a TBR read!

4/5 🌟

This is such an odd premise, but it was fun to just go along with it and see what would happen. There are some tense moments, but overall this is an amusing look at relationships, the thing that makes us happy and the things that annoy us.

And two more while listening to The Husbands. This book is fabulous so far!

5 🌟I love this book for the sheer joy it brought me while reading it, while also still creating poignantly heartbreaking and thoughtful moments. Is it fluffy at times? Absolutely. But are the characters also so supremely loveable to the point that you want to root for them? Also absolutely. ⬇️

This may only be funny to a niche group of people, but I once had to kick at a goose to get it to stop trying to attack me and a friend on a walk (the goose was perfectly fine), and they still tell stories about it and send me goose memes. 😅
