Book 41 was the sequel to my last read & I only read it because I'd already taken it from the library. I feel like I was getting a lesson in etiquette & 18th century manners from a man. All a bit dull 🥱 2 ⭐📚 #booksky #fantasy #herebedragons

Book 40 of 2025 only took me a day to read. Not because it was all that gripping but it was easy to get through. I remember being more scared of the Point Horror books than this 🙄 Still, I do like finding new Irish authors 👍🏼 2 ⭐📚 #booksky #horror #gothic #TheCreeper #irishfiction

Book 39 of 2025 isn't what I was expecting. Essentially it's historical fiction with dragons. A nice idea but it was a tad old fashioned for my liking. I'll read the sequel only because I got it from the library already 😅 2.5⭐📚 #booksky #dragons #fantasyorhistory

Book 38 of 2025 did not take me long at all to read as it was SO GOOD!!!!!! Really loved the sequel to #HMRC by @junodawson.bsky.social 🙌🏼 Such a page turner, filled with twists & continuing the conversation about how those with power fear others getting it. 5 🌟📚 #booksky #theshadowcabinet

Book 37 of 2025 was brilliant!!! I loved everything about what @junodawson.bsky.social created in this world of witches 🙌🏼👏🏼 Brilliant take on how people in power create fear out of irrational hatred of those simply wanting to live their truth 🏳️⚧️ 5 🌟📚 #booksky #HMRC

Book 35 of 2025 was finished a few days ago. The Ten Thousand Doors of January was an enjoyable read but I never really got over the comparison with #TheSubtleKnife #booksky #2025reads 3 🌟

Remember when Ian Foster was apparently the reason for the decline of @allblacksnz.bsky.social ? How are people feeling about Razor now I wonder 🤔 Biggest home defeat ever 😮 #NZLvSA #TRC2025

Book 34 of 2025 was another #reread that took ages to get through as it's a beast 😅 I like that the show took its own path & that, when it eventually happens, the conclusion of #ASOIAF will be true to itself. Now if only GRRM would get a move on!!!!! 4 🌟 📚 #GOT #adancewithdragons #booksky

Confirmed!!! We'll be welcoming Miss Sidney to our home in 3 weeks 🥳🐕😃💚 She's my birthday twin so it was clearly meant to be 😁 #adoptdontshop #adoption #furbaby #borderterrier
I may be jumping the gun as there's still a home inspection to get through but hopefully this lovely little girl will soon be a new member of our family 🤞🏼🐶😍 #petadoption #adoptdontshop

Book 33 of 2025 is another #reread & a return to #Westeros This is among the more violent books of the series & it's nice how the show didn't fully follow it #GOT #Booksky #2025reads

Book 32 of 2025 was a return to Japan through the work of #KeigoHigashino As with most translations I found the language a bit stilted & often found myself mentally editing it but it didn't detract from the concept. Interesting ending which is what gives it 4 🌟📚 #Booksky #thedevotionofsuspectx

Book 29 of 2025 was a very quick read mainly because it was so poorly written. Pure pulp. Terrible prose but I suspect that's not what @colleenhooverbooks.bsky.social is known for. Did not enjoy this much at all but it gets an extra star for reminding me of my toxic ex bf. 2 🌟📚 #Booksky
