#Nowreading the first volume of The Apothecary Diaries #lightnovel. I've read the manga and seen season one of the anime, so I'm excited to see what the differences are. From what I hear, each volume is equal to approximately 4 volumes of the manga.
The cover of the first volume of The Apothecary Diaries light novel. The image is the main character Maomao in her green top and maroon skirt. She is holding a basket of herbs in her right hand and has the leaf of an herb sticking out of her mouth. Her left hand is behind her head and she is looking directly at the reader with her purple eyes. Behind Maomao, there is a pattern of lines and flowers in a color that matches her skirt.

Well, I was going to post that I'm #nowreading The Centaur's Bride by Tamsin Ley, but I'm no longer #currentlyreading it, because I read the whole thing last night. It's pretty tame for a monster romance #book. It is the first thing I've read with horse shifters, though.

The cover of the novella The Centaur's Bride by Tamsin Ley on a paperwhite kindle. Tamsin Ley's name is at the top and the title "the Centaur's Bride" is in big letters at the bottom. The image is a shirtless centaur man standing at an angle so his hair obscures his face and one of his hands is on the back of his head to emphasize his muscular physique. The text "Even Monsters Need a Mate" is positioned near the centaur's human torso.

#Nowreading The Magician's Lie by Greer Macallister. All I know is it's recommended for people who like Water for Elephants and The Night Circus, which are both things I enjoyed.
#booksky #currentlyreading
The cover of the paperback book with a quote from People Magazine on the very top that says "Smart...a richly imagined thriller" , the title "the Magician's Lie" directly below that, and the name Greer Macallister on the very bottom. The image is a lone woman wearing a black and red dress with a ruffled skirt and some kind of feathered head piece. There's also a sticker on the cover that says this is an autographed copy.

#nowreading The Clockwork Three by Matthew J. Kirby. I have no idea what this #book is about, only that it is a stand alone children's #novel.
#booksky #currentlyreading
The hardcover library binding edition cover of the novel that shows some sort of clockwork person with an open chest cavity that contains the title and author name.

Now that I have the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of volume one with extra content, it's the perfect time to get caught up on the Apothecary Diaries manga with a reread.
#mangasky #manga
Volumes two through thirteen of The Apothecary Diaries in a pile, spines forward to see the volume numbers, with two at the top and thirteen at the bottom. Two copies of volume one are displayed on top of the pile, covers facing forward. The one on the right is the normal edition, with MaoMao sitting and holding some herbs, and the one on the left is the exclusive Barnes & Noble edition with an alternate cover, with MaoMao dressed up and holding a round paper fan.

#nowreading Dahlia by Tabitha Barret, number 5 in the Spell Library series. I sometimes read Spell Library when I need a change of pace or want something funny. I actually completely forgot the series existed since I haven't read any of it since 2021. #booksky
The Kindle book cover for the 5th Spell Library novel, Dahlia. Dahlia's portrait is displayed in black and white. She has her arms crossed, with her name spelled out in fancy lettering beneath her. The author's name, Tabitha Barret, is displayed at the top.
