Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A tremendously entertaining and complex fantasy with a dash of romance. Kenna is a skeptical and determined human who unexpectedly enters the world of the Fae while trying to save her best friend.

CoffeeK8 Cont… She is immediately drawn into the intrigues and divides of the world and must navigate interactions with deadly fae while trying to guide her new mistress through her coming of age trials. I can‘t wait for book 2! 21h

Thank you to #NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a sweet story about two lost souls finding love. Tamzir is an alien stranded on earth and Jennette is a human who has always felt a little out of place in her life, and also happens to be obsessed with aliens. Jennette makes friends with a group of people online and becomes close with Tamzir's alter ego.

CarolynM Ann Aguirre is surprisingly good. I loved this one 3d

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir | Michelle Zauner
post image
Pickpick

A raw and powerful book about love and loss. Michelle details the complicated relationship she had with her mom and the devastation her mom‘s cancer diagnosis and death wrought in her life. As a half-Korean American, the loss of her mom unmoored her from a part of her life and heritage she was desperate to keep. Her growth and confidence that came over time was compelling to read.

This nook really takes the average digital footprint and deconstructs how our online use is making us less happy. It reminded me to be more aware of my online usage and I‘ll take parts of this book to use in my own life.

This is a fantastic discussion about the intersection between being Jewish and being Black and the way the cultural landmarks of traditional food help define both. I‘m a huge fan of this author‘s work.

A great reminder about why romance books are so awesome! The book and cultural references are a little dated and white author centered but the underlying theme is still important!

So my goal this year was to read 80 books (kindle, audio & physical) from my TBR. My one rule is it had to be purchased 2023 or earlier. This cut my unread books down by a third so I‘m going for it again this year! #readyourkindle and #bookspin were a big help in staying motivated. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks & @CBee for organizing the challenges.

This was such a fun book! The leftover heroes from a massive and tragic battle must reunite for a wedding. They are all 10 years older but not all of them have grown wiser. I loved the very real way it takes on loss and trauma and the growth and struggles of the main characters while also providing a top notch story and fantasy world. Beatrice, Elowen & Clare are compelling and you root for them!

I‘m heading to 5 days at the beach over Xmas/Hanukkah. What is the correct number of books to pack… somewhere between 1 and 7? But 7 is probably too many? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures I usually go with 5. Then sometimes pick up another book at the airport 😅 you‘ve got some great choices, I‘d take them all if you have the room! 📚 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau 7 - better to have extra and not need them, then to need them and not have them 📚 4mo

A suspenseful True Crime books about the search for justice in a famous Alaskan murder case. I felt so much sympathy for the people affected by this tragedy, and was appalled by the way the police originally handled the case. ⤵️

CoffeeK8 Overall, a well written book, but I found the way the timeline jumped around occasionally hard to follow and had to go back to re-read to confirm which year was being discussed. That being said, I would highly recommend this book to any true crime fan.

Thanks to #Netgalley and Sourcebook for this ARC in exchance for an honest review.
