I'm still reading Heartless Hunter because it's a physical book and I'm short on time, but I did finish Spark of the Everflame (audiobook) and it was SO GOOD. I wanted to go right onto book 2, but I am in a book club and we're reading another book.

I have Onyx Storm but can't bring myself to read it yet. I started Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli instead, knowing book 2 will be out in February. I'm about 54 pages in and it's really good! My last semester of college starts Monday, however, and I know my reading will be hindered a little.

All my fellow readers! Who else is getting hyped up for Onyx Storm (Rebecca Yarros), Jan 21?

Just finished When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker and if you like fae/elves and dragons (though this comes in later) this is a must read! It IS slowish at first but it also might've just been me (I've been exhausted)

I am finishing Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig tonight. It is the sequel to One Dark Window. These are MUST READS. Amazing books. I look forward to her next book in May, The Knight and the Moth.

Finished One Dark Window VERY by Rachel Gillig early yesterday and didn't get to read very much of anything. I had shopping and a cake to make, then a party. I HIGHLY recommend this duology.

So I am listening to When the Moon Hatched by Sara A. Parker. I'm only 6% of the way through it. It's over 700 pages (over 20 hours of audio). So far, the story is super interesting. The narrator however...we'll see. I've heard she grows on you, but I thought it was AI at first. (no offense to her)

💙📚 Books I finished in November:
* The Secret World of Red Wolves: The Fight to Save North America's Other Wolf by T. DeLene Beeland
* Legendary (Caraval book #2) by Stephanie Garber
* The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown

I've already finished 3 for December. We'll see how far I get!

Fall semester 2024 is over. Spring (and final) semester begins January 2025. I'll still be going to school to work in the greenhouse on a research project and growing native plants. It's only 6 weeks...hopefully I get a lot done! (with a lot of relaxing in the meantime)

I'm still getting used to StoryGraph, but I'll be honest, I've now been using that, plus GoodReads (because I have for a decade or more), and BookBub. I like following friends on GoodReads...hopefully they'll do that on StoryGraph. What is/are your currents?

If you're really into reading, but are like me and can't justify paying a ton of money on new books only for them to sit, check out your local library and see if they use the Libby App! It's free and you can get ebooks or audiobooks!

They're considered a pest in many areas...but they're so beautiful ❤️
A small flock of Snow Geese flew over my house the other day. They're heading south for the winter and the sound is incredible! Have a listen.

I miss this show. Might watch it again. Heard they might revive it...I really hope they do. screenrant.com/house-reviva...

Who else is spending a lot of the day reading other than socializing and eating? Happy Thanksgiving!

A great local bookstore. Highly recommend if you live anywhere in the Rochester, NY area. Another Chapter Bookstore is in Fairport.
We made it over to Blue Sky but why is there no official Taylor Nation here?
