I guess I’m going to go from one epic fantasy novel to another one.

What I’m Reading Now: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
I started this in 2017 and for reasons that are utterly ridiculous and not at all related to how much I was enjoying it, didn’t finish it. For some reason, I was thinking of elements of the story and happened to mention it to Beth. I asked if I could borrow her copy again. She said I could, If I could find it. I found it with my bookmark still in it. Perhaps I can finish it this time!
What I’m Reading Now: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
This has been on my to read pile for a while now. I’m glad I finally getting around to it.
What I’m Reading Now: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
This was all over Booktok a few weeks ago so let’s how it goes.
What I’m Reading Now: A Little Too Familiar by Lish McBride
Lish McBride is another author that I will buy whatever she writes. I’m so happy she’s trying her hand at romance because she wrote maybe my favorite book Boyfriend ever! Lock from her Firebug series is super dreamy. I can’t wait to read about Declan and Lou.
What I’m Reading Now: Darling Girl by Liz Michalski
So this is a retelling but ore what happens after Wendy leaves Neverland. Really years later when Peter Pan returns for Wendy’s great-granddaughter. Kinda always knew that Peter Pan was a villain.
What I’m Reading Now: Book of Night by Holly Black
There is a trend on #booktok right now asking who are the authors you will always buy their books no matter what they are about. Holly Black is one of those Authors for me. She knows how to tell a story. Especially if it includes Fairies. This is her first Adult book and the synopsis reminds me of my favorite series of hers, The Curse Worker Trilogy. So I’m stoked for this one.
What I’m Reading Now: The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harwood
I do love a good fairy tale retelling and then you add it a Faustian twist. Count me in!
What I’m Reading Now: Gallant by V.E. Schwab
This has some real gothic vibes to it and I love it.
Updates
I feels like it’s been a month since I picked up a book. And that’s not entirely true. (It is definitely not true, as I’ve read portions of books for work as it is time to start reserving books for classes for the Fall.) But, things have been really slow going. I’m still only about a third of the way through The Right Swipe. I’m super into it. I love the characters and the story as it is shaping up, I just haven’t been able to focus on things. In the past, I’ve been able to listen to audiobooks while I cook and clean, but this year that hasn’t been the case. When I try, I end up having to re-listen to the chapter. And since I can only seem to focus on thing at a time, I’ve avoided listening to books in the car or when I’m out for a walk. I don’t want to cause an accident because I’m really into my book. So, slow progress has to be my only progress for the time being.
