#WondrousWednesday

Here is my list for May's #ReadYourKindle
@CBee

Placebo has been one of my favorite bands for years now. I was lucky enough to see them back in 2000, and they just released a new live album, which is fantastic 💗
#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude

Here are my picks for both #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate 😺
@TheAromaofBooks
@julieclair

So in April we spent time with the Inquisitor and the fall of the Jedi. I enjoyed it. What did y'all think?
Now in May we on to the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. I admit I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now. Hope you all enjoy it!
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

My top book for April is Empire of the Damned but Psyche and Eros is still my top book so far 💜
#TopRead2024
#ReadingBracket2024

I read six books in April. Empire of the Damned was my favorite ❤️
For #ReadOrDonate as usual I read one of them, This Poison Heart, but will probably donate it and The Coffin Path. @julieclair

Loved this book so much 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In the second book in the Empire of the Vampire series, we meet back up with Gabriel and Crew still on their quest to end daysdeath ❤️

This is a weird novella. It centers around Jamie, a kid who can see the dead. The ending comes up a little short but the nodds to It and the dead lights are fun.
#LosersClub @BarkingMadRead
#WickedWords #Passenger @AsYouWish

This book follows Iskat from her early days as a Jedi Padawan to her conversion to Inquisitor under the Empire. It's good, but as usual, Dawson likes her sad endings 🖤
#StarWarsBuddyRead
#WickedWords #Voyage @AsYouWish

I really enjoyed reading about Cal Kestis and his crew. I wish there had been more with Merrin, I love the Night Sisters. In this tale, they get wrapped up in a rescue mission with a storm trooper that had just deserted.
#StarWarsBuddyRead
#WickedWords #Ship @AsYouWish

A nice little house witch guide. I loved the quote "Living your life is a spiritual act" ?

This was a cute ya gothic novel about Briseis, who can control plants. I loved the Greek mythology and the plant magic, but the book didn't really get going until the very end. It is a duology, and at some point, I plan to read the second one 🪴
#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
#ReadOrDonate @julieclair It was good but I'll probably still donate it.

Here are my choices for #ReadYourKindle
@CBee

Here are my choices for #BookSpinBingo and #ReadOrDonate
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

#Aardvark has there books up. This was an easy pick this month. Diavola is a haunted house story and A Sweet Sting of Salt is a retelling of the selkie wife 🤎
I may skip #BOTM this month. I wasn't as impressed by their choices.

In March we met up with Cal and Crew in Battle Scars.
Now it's time for the dark side to rise.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

For March The Warm Hands of Ghosts was my top read 👻
#TopRead2024 ##ReadingBracket2024

I only read 4 books in March. My favorite was The Warm Hands of Ghosts.
I didn't get to #ReadYourKindle and both of the picks for #ReadOrDonate On Night's Shore and The Invisible Hour are going to be donated.

A nice intro to astrology. I love this book series 🦁

This is a somewhat typical tale of an innocent puritan woman being accused of witchcaft while trying to get away from her husband but the ending really makes the book and Mary was a fantastic character 🤎
#LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle

Loved this book! Lauren, an exfield nurse, her brother, Freddy, goes missing during WWI. Freddy gets trapped in a pillbox with a German soldier after an explosion. They escape, but then Freddy becomes trapped in a purgatory type state. Meanwhile, Lauren has returned to her nursing duties at the front to look for him 🖤

Marion tries to escape the slums by becoming a blood donor to a vampire but it doesn't go quite how she imagined.
It seemed a little rushed at times but I still thoroughly enjoyed it 🖤

Thanks @Gissy I love the Ostara package. That mug us gorgeous. The bunny trinket holder is really cute and I love the fluorite and spiral goddess 🐰
#TravelingStars

Thanks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for the fun package. I'm looking forward to reading these 🩷🤎🩷
#LitsyLove

For February my top book was Empire of the Vampire. But it didn't quite beat out Psyche and Eros 💜
#TopRead2024
#ReadingBracket2024

In February we read From A Certain Point of View The Return of the Jedi. I enjoyed the stories, especially those at Jabba's Palace. What did y'all think?
In March we catch up with Cal Kestis and his Mantis crew. This one should be good.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

I read 13 books in February. My favorites were Empire of The Vampire, The Fox Wife, Relic and Blue Labyrinth.
For #ReadOrDonate I plan to donate both Beneath the Shine (which I didn't read) and Spare & Found Parts (which I did read). @julieclair
@Moonprismpower How did your February go? Mine was pretty good 😺

I love this book. This is the first of the Pendergast novels. A monster goes crazy and starts killing people in a museum. The monster's reveal at the end is one of the best.
Also I've dnfed about 5 books this month and needed a palette cleanser. This book worked perfectly 💚
#NoShameReadathon24 #ComfortRead @Nessavamusic
#Litsylove

This was a fantastic tale about foxes who can transform themselves into humans. Snow wants revenge for her daughter's death and sets out to find the man who killed her 🩵🦊🩵
#LitsyLove
#NoShameReadathon24 #Revenge @Nessavamusic

This is a post-apocalyptic Frankenstein retelling. It was okay. The twist ending was good.
#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
#ReadOrDonate @julieclair Read and will be donating

I enjoyed this book and would have enjoyed it more if the narration had been better. This book is about Cora, who is recently widowed, heads to Essex to find their legendary serpent.
#LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle
#WickedWords #Lake @AsYouWish
#Litsylove

This was a fun collection of short stories that centered around the time of The Return of the Jedi. My favorites were The Key to Remembering, Dune Sea Songs of Salt & Moonlight, Brotherhood and Return of the Wills 💜
#StarWarsBuddyRead
#NoShameReadathon24 #SpaceShips @Nessavamusic

#BOTM books are up for March. These are my picks. Mostly I wanted Murder Road.
I was rather disappointed with the finalists for the BOTM awards this year. Mostly I picked The Wishing Game because I like the cover 🤷🏼‍♀️
What did everyone else pick?

Here are my picks for #ReadYourKindle
@CBee

Here are my picks for both #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

This was a reread since Empire of the Damned comes out next month.
Set in a fantasy world where vampires are taking over, Gabriel, silver saint and last of his order has been captured is telling his tale to the vampires ❤️

I admit I bought this book because it's gorgeous, especially the splayed edges.
Aside from that, I thought it was going to be more fantasy, but it was really dirty. There were sex scenes that just seemed to go on and on, and the details 🤦🏼‍♀️
Somewhere in there is a story about two different human hybrids that fall in love.
#NoShameReadathon24 #Romantasy @Nessavamusic #WickedWords #Love @AsYouWish

This is a weird book about a man obsessed with his best friend who was an actress.
#BOTM
#WickedWords #couple @AsYouWish

Another monsters/ghosts in a museum story. This one is okay, a bit convoluted. Dr. Simon Nealy returns to his hometown to take a job in a museum that his sister disappeared in years ago.
#WickedWords #letters/notes @AsYouWish

An overprotective werewolf Momma.

An entertaining new take on the Boogeyman.
#ReadYourKindle
@CBee

Sana and her father move in to this old mansion turned into apartments. There, she meets a number of entertaining tenants and discovers the sad story of the original owners 🧞‍♂️
#Aardvark

This is the 14th book in the Pendergast series. In this one, a dead body is left on Pendergast's doorstep, and his family history comes back to bite him 💙
