I love, love, love this series. Book 2 was just as good as the Tainted Cup. I'm in love with Ana and Din and need more in my life. I absolutely hate having to wait for the next one!

I finally need to post all the books I read last month...
I really liked A Harvest of Hearts, especially because of the talking cat and the sentient house 😊 It was a quick, fun fantasy read for me, but a bit predictable

I've just finished The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper. I highly recommend the whole series, even though it made me cry so much! I love historical fiction like that! First book is The Wolf Den

The reading slump hit me hard in February! But overall I still had a great reading month!
Please ignore my daily pages, I absolutely did not read 600 pages a day! I just suck at logging my progress consistently 🫣😅
I'm selkis on Storygraph btw 😊

This was actually a re-read. I read it ages ago and loved it, but then I never continued the series. Now I'm ready!
Great historical fiction with a hint of Arthurian legends and a strong female lead, inspired by real people and events. I loved it!

Sadly, this book wasn't for me, but it's not the book's fault. If you like fairy tales and Ursula K. Le Guin you might like it, as this is what it reminded me of.
I absolutely loved the introduction by the cover artist Kathleen Jennings. I wish we'd get that more often

I totally understand! I always struggle with room on my shelves. My husband and son are also big readers so we've got shelves everywhere!
I love my e-reader, also because it lets me collect even more books 🙈😅

I went to my favourite second-hand bookshop today. I love that I never know what I'm going to find, but I never leave empty-handed.
Adding to my Mark Lawrence collection, and I want to read more by Andy Weir. I'm still having a great time with Project Hail Mary!

My #Storygraph wrap-up for January. It was a great reading month to start the year! My biggest surprise was Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries, I liked it so much! An average rating of over four stars is rare for me and I'm really happy about it!

I preferred book one, but it was still a very solid story that kept me interested to the end. A very cool classic fantasy series! I just wish I'd read it sooner. I've forgotten so many things and at times was very confused

What did I just read? I can't say I'm sure I entirely understand this novella. Maybe I'm not supposed to. But the writing was so beautiful that I had to keep on reading. It reminded me a bit of Becky Chambers or How You Lose the Time War. No clue which #52BookClub prompt I'm going to use it for
