Finished Soulless by Gail Carriger today! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It features an omniscient narrator and fantastic chemistry between the characters. The world felt real, and the Romance wasn’t ham-handed.
Anyway, if you haven’t already, you should totally look into this book. 🫶🏻 Happy Reading!

*Poison: a wicked Snow White Tale* by Sarah Pinborough
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well written, with evocative imagery and interesting twists to the classic fairytale. The only things which pulled me out of the story were formatting choices — like the dialogue only having single quote marks (‘) instead of doubles (“).

The ducks say it’s too wet and cold outside, you should curl up with a book… I think I’ll do just that!

Just finished Ink & Sigil by Kevin Hearne, and I have to say… I’m kind of disappointed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Why? It was too political for me. Politics has its place in fiction/fantasy, but it’s not what I want to read. I want to be taken out of the real world (and real politics) not bashed over the head with it.

I feel like the only writer who doesn’t drink coffee 😅
That’s okay, though. I have matcha to fill the void.

Finished reading DREADFUL by Caitlin Rosakis! If I had to try and explain it to someone, I’d say it’s a cross between your traditional “knight in shining armor” fairytale (from the villain’s side) and The Three Stooges

With the electricity flickering in and out, I decided to set aside the video game and do some rowing. Fidget does not approve 😅

The Book of Atrix Wolfe has been keeping me company while I travel, and I could not be happier for it! I love Patricia McKillip’s writing style. The pictures she weaves out of words.

Currently cruising in the Bahamas! As D&I walked through the ship’s interior, we passed this statue of Neptune. D said my January #writingprompt is “a dead body is found speared on his trident on a cruise ship.” That might change before January hits, but I’ll start pondering in case! 📚✍🏻❤️
