Out July 16TH. This YA fantasy is unlike anything I‘ve read before. Set in a distant future where society has collapsed because of the revelation that all religions had gotten VERY little right, a young woman and her younger brother survive on the edges of their village. When one of the siblings is chosen as a human sacrifice to the demon known as The Savage, all *hell* breaks loose. Wonderfully dark and subversive, I couldn‘t put this book down.

Should this be my first Le Guin?

Spending my #Readathon with this magic. It is amaaaaazing.

Reaching 40, without reading, these books feels like a tragedy I need to rectify.

Read to me, Ruby Dee.

This book makes me crazy hungry.

Absolutely amazing way to start the year.

I raided the library.

Did this have to be read by Harry Potter??? 😂 #timetoreread #butcaniseparatehimfromHP?

There‘s Sunday afternoon sorted then. #best #rereadingrules #readathon #30daysofreadathon

Afternoon plans. #ripxii

Sweet kittens Littens. This book had me on the edge of my seat up to the very end. I almost quit because the beginning was rather sad but I'm glad I stuck it out. The audio is superb with Cassandra Campbell doing most of the heavy lifting and Kathe Mazur handling the flashbacks. Perfect book for this time of year and for #RIPXII

My #ripxii pile is glorious.

#RIPXII stars Friday! Details and more at the two links in the graphic. Come join us!

Ready for Sunday. Ready for Seveneves? Remains to be seen.

Have I met my new best friend?

Sunday night plans in motion.

Assume Sunday position.

Even better the second time.

I'm sad this is on my iPad. I kinda want to throw it at the wall.

Sunday plans.

I couldn't resist the cover.

Oh this is going to be good.

It feels early to say it was the BEST book of the year, so I'll just say it's in my top ten. A wonderful book with amazing characters, gorgeous writing, and a learning experience about a culture I knew little about. Just an amazing experience.

Sweet kittens Littens. This book is 😍.

Of to an excellent start. Have listened to 35% of this book today!

I'm having a hard time finding the words for this book. At the beginning I was slightly doubtful (sorry, Mr. Backman) that this story set in a hockey town would be for me. Now that this roller coaster of a book is finished, I'm finding myself missing Beartown and (the good of) it's citizens. I won't forget this book for a long while. *note: there is a rape and its aftermath is intimately explored in this book.

Time to pick a new book and these are the top four contenders. Any recommendations?

What. A. Beginning.

What is it @Liberty says? I couldn't be more excited if I swallowed a cat and broke out in kittens? Yeah, I'm that.

For fans of The Martian and Station Eleven? Let's just see how alike the three are....

I really hope there another book after this because OMG THAT ENDING.

I am beside myself excited to start listening to this!! 😍

This audiobook is just so wow.

Freezing at soccer practice with this!

Sometimes a change of pace is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks @kerry!

❤❤❤❤❤

Unique. Gorgeous. A must for fairy tale and folk tale fans.

Have I mentioned how crazy, wonderful, freaky, and hard-to-put-down this book is???

We don't handle anticipation well in this family. #happyvalentinesday #lasthurrahbeforetakingonnewmortgage #penguingalaxy

Can Nick Offerman read everything please?

Hello, gorgeous.

Super Bowl reading.

The light at the end of the tunnel? I am (hopefully) at the end of a 5 week reading slump. I have listened to almost half of this book today. Is the slump over? God, I hope so.

So excited to finally be reading this! #diverseathon

Apparently I needed a change of pace. Reading slumps be funny. And also not. #slumpssuck

When in Reading Slump, try Sy Montgomery. My new motto. #readingmyowndamnbooks

Be good to me January!

Oh December, you were so good to me.

Oooooo, make that Dr. Ruth, badass!

Hey! I was reading that!!
