I’m currently doing Leonie Dawson’s 40 Days to a Finished Book ecourse and I love this that she said:

It’s a collage of words.

You don’t have to start at the beginning and write until you get to the end.

Finished reading: A Hunger Like No other by Kresley Cole πŸ“š

Incredibly high spice level, all the chili pepper emoji 🌢️! A Valkyrie/vampire hybrid and a werewolf (there wolf) fall in love. I’m reading this as I listen along to the first season of Fated Mates.

Finished reading: Nacho y Lolita/Nacho and Lolita by Pam MuΓ±oz Ryan πŸ“š

Pam MuΓ±oz Ryan won the Children’s Literature Legacy Award. This was where NoveList Plus recommended starting with her work.

Finished reading: Fox Has a Problem by Corey R. Tabor πŸ“š

Reading my way through this year’s American Library Association Youth Media Award winners. This won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for the most distinguished beginning reader book. It’s super cute.

Now I’m thinking about Odo’s maintenance of his humanoid form and how it can be read as an analog for neurodivergent masking. Like, he’s really trying to give back what he’s getting but it’s hard, okay? Faces are difficult. πŸ––πŸ»

πŸ––πŸ» Odo is DS9!Data. (And I know, Data is TNG!Spock.)

Finished reading: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas πŸ“š

A sizzling historical that has two refreshing leads: she’s a writer, not a bluestocking. He is a gambling club owner, not a duke.

What are you obsessed with right now? For me it’s the podcast Fated Mates, all things romance book-adjacent, and Parisian vibes.
