Living my best bookish life, one hammock read at a time! Book club picks, ARC reads, web comic binges, and cat snuggles.

A (late) ARC, 2 library books, a book club pick, and a buddy read with my partner (his suggestion!) made for a fun month of reading in November!

The heartbreak when the only volume your library *doesn't* have is volume 2! 😭💀

Accidental vampires? Mafia families? Morally gray men with hearts of gold? Women who take no shit? This book has it all! Abigail Kelly does it again!

Do I keep forgetting this app is here? Yes. But I do eventually remember and that counts for something, right?

Can you bask in the afterglow glow of a series? Because that's how I felt finishing this book. I love the Brunch Bros and am sad these books are over, but I'm thrilled knowing it's not the last we'll see of Crane Cove ❤️

A good month of reading in the books.

Sometimes you just need to listen to a comfort read and color in a coloring book to deal with the trauma of the world. So Flocked is one of those comfort books for me and I was so excited to see that my library's Hoopla catalog has copies available of both Sarah Estep's new audiobooks!

This was a surprise hit in book club this month. It was a fun mix of pop culture references and magical fantasy realm. And I do love a good, snarky footnote.

Love at first bite? That's ok, he's into it. Go get yourself a copy of @worksbyabigail.bsky.social latest release Sanguine!

They're queer, they're here, and they're going to steal your hoard. Maybe? How Not To Date A Dragon but Lana Kole was a fun adversaries-to-lovers romance featuring an NB treasure hunter and the dragon they're attempting to fleece of his treasure hoard.

Dinner date with a book? Don't mind if I do. I ended up loving this book so much by the end. It had such wonderful character growth and both Kit and Percy were just a delight.

"I will not be a footnote. I'm the whole damn book."

I loved Emmy putting Ryan in his place throughout the book. We love a man who does his homework & Ryan puts in the work AND the extra credit. I was dying for them to get together & once they did, it was straight fire.

Jamie Fraser better make room as the King of Men. Ewan is giving him a run for his money. He is drinking ALL his Respect Women Juice.

Una's strength throughout the book is nothing short of inspiring. I love how much she allowed herself to grow in the love and support of the MacDonald clan.

I'm working Super Bowl Sunday & going to a galentine's Super Bowl party this year. I couldn't care less about football in general, so I want to find a Superb Owl shirt. Finding legit online shops is so hard! So many of the designs look the same or like they were ripped from a Google search.

Already finished my first book of 2024! (Planes, Trains, and All the Feels by Livy Hart) 😅

I was halfway through when I picked it up today, and got pinned by cat snugs most of the afternoon by both cats on both couches, which significantly helped my reading progress.

I cannot be contained by the limited of a top 10 list. There are at least 3 other versions in my camera roll, and that's not including the ~4 other books that rotated in and out of a few spots until I committed to this set. Happy New Year, friends! Here's to a happy and healthy 2024 for all 💗

Had our annual work pumpkin carving party last night, & when I thought about what I wanted my design to be, the first thing I thought of was the book that consumed my brain all October.

If you haven't read So Flocked by Sarah Estep what are you waiting for?? Go get Annie & Jordy in your brain ASAP!
October 30, 2023 at 5:56 PM
Happy pubday to my new comfort read! Seriously, if you haven't read Sarah Estep yet, you're missing out on great banter, positive male friendships, and delightful hijinks. Fall in love with Crane Cove and the Brunch Bros!!

Longer than my usual reads, but I was so compelled every step of the way. Though as a Monster lover, I don't know if I was supposed to enjoy Luc as much as I did. Sorry, not sorry. Even the Darkness wants love.

Tea for Two could be summarized as finding yourself in, through, and after grief. The lore, foreshadowing, and cameos abound in the latest Cambric Creek installment.

Please be gentle with yourself when picking this one up. Mind the CW/TW, your mental health is more important than any book.
