For my current read I just picked a random book from my TBR folder on my kindle. Can't remember when or where I downloaded this one. Must have been offered as a freebie somewhere. Anyway, it starts well so let's see how it goes... 👁️ A.L.I.V.E by R.D. Brady

I read Freedom's Landing when it first came out and I loved it so much. I wanted to be Kris. I wanted to be dumped on an alien planet and live in a cave and have an adventure. I reread this series so many times in my teens and I'm so relieved that I still love it now ❤️👽🚀

I'm going to reread a series that was a favourite for a long time - Anne McCaffrey's Catteni Sequence. It's been a while. Hope it lives up to my memory of it 🤞🏼

I just finished the Project Hail Mary audiobook. That was fun...and it's got to be the most satisfying ending of a book I've read in a long time. It was nice to finish a book without a big cliffhanger ending 🚀

This was a great read! I loved revisiting Daevabad. It's a shame there aren't more books after the trilogy. I'd especially love to read more of Dara's story 🧞🔥

Couldn't get to sleep last night, So I started The Handmaid's Tale. It's been on my TBR for ages but kept getting bumped down the list when I saw newer series. I know the general story from the streaming adaptation but seeing the world through June's own eyes in the book feels so much deeper.

My favourite illustrations from Grimbold's Other World. I love this book. It's one that's really stayed with me over the years.

Time to reread an old favourite. This is Grimbold's Other World. A book I have cherished since I first picked it up in a second hand book shop when I was a kid. It's got magic, adventure, a talking cat and some beautiful illustrations.
Look at that cover art! 😻

Wow! Things are happening now. I wasn't really excited by the first half of this series but Empire of Storms was great. More varied characters, more POVs, bigger world events and some twists that I didn't see coming!
