Well...that was the shortest March on record! Still it was a good month with lots of great reading and time with friends getting out of the house a bit more! I had a lot of great reading, but finishing up the initial Mistborn trilogy was a highlight - both that I got through two chunky… Continue reading A Look Back at March…

Monday Reading Check In
Happy Monday book friends! I hope your week is off to a fantastic start! My weekend was mostly spent lazing around and reading with the pup which was pretty okay with me. We had a bit of a heat wave over the weekend (California skipping right over spring and heading into summer for a bit).… Continue reading Monday Reading Check In
LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by Rumaan Alam
Rating: 4 / 5 I have been wanting to get to the audiobook for LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by Rumaan Alam for far too long! Two of my booksta besties have VERY different takes on their enjoyment of the book, so when I saw a skip the line copy available at my library, I had… Continue reading LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by Rumaan Alam
THE FOUR WINDS by Kristin Hannah
Rating: 5 / 5 I credit Kristin Hannah's THE NIGHTENGALE with reminding me that I do love historical fiction when it is well done and I loved her THE GREAT ALONE as well.

PUDDIN’ by Julie Murphy
Rating: 4 / 5 I read DUMPLIN' by Julie Murphy last February, so when I pulled a reading prompt for a book featuring body positivity, it seemed a good time to pick up the sequel PUDDIN'. PUDDIN' picks up a bit after DUMPLIN' ends and this time we are following two side characters from the… Continue reading PUDDIN’ by Julie Murphy
THE GOOD SON by You-Jeong Jeong
Rating: 4.5 / 5 When I pulled a prompt for a work of translated fiction, I decided to go for a double duty pick and grab a Korean book for #ReadTheWorld21 while I was at it. Thankfully I stumbled on a translated thriller that sounded very intriguing! THE GOOD SON by You-Jeong Jeong begins with… Continue reading THE GOOD SON by You-Jeong Jeong
WARBREAKER by Brandon Sanderson
Rating: 5 / 5 I have been participating in a readalong of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive series over the past few months. During the last live show (for OATHBRINGER), it was highly suggested that a few of Sanderson's other backlist titles be read before the final book of the readalong (RHYTHEM OF WAR) since… Continue reading WARBREAKER by Brandon Sanderson
SHADES OF MAGIC: THE STEEL PRINCE by V.E. Schwab
Rating: 3 / 5 I buddy read the SHADES OF MAGIC series by V.E. Schwab with a friend over the past few months and really enjoyed the series (enough so that we’re moving on to reading some more V.E. Schwab together. I happened to notice that there was a graphic novels series that was part… Continue reading SHADES OF MAGIC: THE STEEL PRINCE by V.E. Schwab
