Finished reading: The Puzzler: One Man’s Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life by A.J. Jacobs 📚
Great fun with some good insights for the rest of life, not just puzzles.
Finished reading: The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories: 75th-Anniversary Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Angela Carter 📚
New (well, ~40 year old) takes on old fairytales. Gorgeous language.
Finished reading: Redwall: A Tale from Redwall by Brian Jacques 📚
Cozy fantasy, just what I need right now.
Two quotes that stood out for me:
“Many times in our history has tragedy been forestalled by miraculous happenings.”
“Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep.”
Finished reading: Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare 📚
Review soon. On the All About Romance sensuality levels scale, this is Hot approaching Burning. Explicit descriptions & cheerfully racy banter.
Super fun, recommend if you like that heat level.
Finished reading: “So What Are You Going to Do with That?” by Susan Basalla 📚
Finished reading: Winterkeep by Kristin Cashore 📚
Cashore’s GRACELING was the book that fixed me after THE NAME OF THE WIND broke me (because I love it so). This is the 4th book in the Graceling Realm series and while it took me a while to get into, I ended up loving it.
