A fun, quick read space opera. The world building was more sparse than I would have liked & there were moments where it felt like the author was forgetting to tell us things.

I finished A Darker Shade of Magic last night and now we're straight onto suffering.

I absolutely adore the Polish accent the narrator is doing for the audiobook.

It's taken me a year to get in the right headspace to get into this book & I'm finally there and loving it! (I have a protagonist who felt like Kell so it was distracting the last time I tried to read this. They're not really that similar.)

A strange and haunting little MG book about anxiety and OCD and wasps.

Lots of wasps.

I've been dying to get into this twisted story. April Genevieve Tucholke's weird writing is my favorite. (Unfortunately I still have a million children's books to read before Sunday)

Blood & Beauty | Sarah Dunant

A gorgeous and meticulously researched novel following one of the most fascinating families in papal history. Scandalous Borgia books are easy to come by, but this book treats this corrupt family with respect (and intrigue)

Silhouette of a Sparrow | Molly Beth Griffin

A sweet little f/f romance, unfortunately the writing was all matter of fact and far too much telling was done instead of showing.

"The Alexander's artificial intelligence isn't capable of lying. Sure, it can think for itself, but no neurogrammar is stupid enough to make a computer capable of conceptualizing deceit."

Internally paced and utterly poignant, I loved this carefully crafted dystopia with its reserved cast of careful teenagers and the dramatic AI overlord holding a gun to their heads for the sake of peace.
