Good morning, Womble! I'm stalled partway through The Incandescent by Emily Tesh (good book so far, just hit a point where I stopped being in the mood) and might pick up something else today to get unstuck on the reading.

Hi, Womble! I'm reading The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan, which has been on my TBR since 2016 when I recall it being something of a booktube darling. I'm finding it to be a kind of odd book, to be honest. Maybe as I read further I'll figure out why it was so popular.

Kelsey's review of Mélusine (The Doctrine of Labyrinths, #1)
3/5: A lot of disjointed thoughts on this one, in no particular order: Utterly wild narrative choice to introduce us to one of our two protagonists at the beginning of the book (Felix) for just long ...

Kelsey's review of The River Has Roots
4/5: Maybe 4.5? I didn't realize there was a bonus short story at the end, so I was disappointed when it ended sooner than I was expecting.
