Happy weekend to you! This week the kids returned to school, and I returned back to work. Returning after the holidays gets harder every year. 😆
I hope your reading year began with something amazing. Are you trying to do anything different this year with your reading? For me I'm hoping to quit putting off books I really want to read.

Most Anticipated Books Releasing In the First Half of 2022
On My Wishlist | A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
Book Review | Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls by Kaela Rivera ⭐⭐⭐⭐★
Finished Reading
A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw ⭐⭐⭐★★ - I think I'm going to wind up landing on 2.5 or 3 stars. I'm still mulling this one over. I can't decide how I feel about it.
Ophie's Ghosts by Justina Ireland ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - I loved this! It was like an Odd Thomas type of book for kids.
Currently Reading
Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire - I've started reading the latest Wayward Children book. I'm loving it and nervous all at the same time. Seanan McGuire is going to break my heart, I just know it.
The Ghost of Midnight Lake by Lucy Strange - I'm also really enjoying The Ghost of Midnight Lake. There's a lot to this middle grade novel, and I'm loving it.
Added to the TBR
Monstrum Poetica by Jezzy Wolfe and Exposed Nerves by Lucy A. Snyder are horror poetry collections that I am really looking forward to reading this month.
Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire - The latest Wayward Children novella. I started this one right away.
The Girl in the Lake by India Hill Brown - I received my preorder of The Girl in the Lake. I'm looking forward to reading this new middle grade horror release from India Hill Brown.
The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter - I have an audio copy of The Rage of Dragons, but I couldn't resist getting a print copy after releasing picking up the sequel to this one.
The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray - I came across an early edition of this at Barnes & Noble this week so I grabbed it. I love this cover. I haven't read The Rising Storm yet, but I hope to catch up on my Star Wars High Republic soon!

I'll just keep asking very few ARCs for books I really want to read so that I have lots of room for my mood reads!
ReplyDeleteI hope you all had smooth returns following the holidays. I am with you. I want to stop putting off books I really want to read too
ReplyDeleteI have got to read Seanan McGuire! Looks like you got some good books. Hope you have a good week!

Your current reads both sound good! I will have to look for The Ghost of Midnight Lake. I hope you enjoy your new books! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI hate going back. It DOEs get harder every year!
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to try and get back on track with reading! :):)
I liked the Claudia gray book I read. And that McGuire series might have my name on it as well.
Well I hope you get to read a bunch of books that you want to read.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to go back to work/school after a vacation. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI was very relaxed this past week, more sleeping even. But my reading went well. I hope to do more this week. I took on a book which is 7th in the series and I've only read the first so it's a good thing I've read the rest of my review ARCs for January.

Returning to the regular schedule after the holidays is always such a struggle. Kudos on reading those books you really want to read! I have a bad habit of waiting in order to prolong the anticipation. Ridiculous but that's me. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour books look really good. The only things I'm doing differently are trying to accept less ARCs so I can read more from my TBR and try to concentrate on actually completing a series. I hope you have a great week!
