Hi, reader friends! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I had a long rainy weekend, and I managed to get in plenty of reading so I'm grateful for that.
I also managed to play a lot of Stardew Valley. This game is deceptively huge.
Finished Reading
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I cannot stress enough how much I love this book. I'll have a review out tomorrow, but honestly this book was perfect.
The Helm of Midnight by Marina J. Lostetter ⭐⭐⭐★★ - I'll have a review out soon for this one as well. I enjoyed it, but it meandered a bit for me.
Currently Reading
Book Lovers by Emily Henry - I started reading Book Lovers this weekend, and I only have 40 pages left. I'm anxious to get back to it as soon as I'm done posting!
The Unknown. Weird Writings, 1900-1937 by Algernon Blackwood - I'm still loving this. It was released this past week so I need to finish it to get a review up, but I'm trying not to rush through it.
Added to the TBR
Piñata by Leopoldo Gout - Piñata was also released this past week. Thank you to Tor for offering to send me a copy. Coincidentally, I have been in the mood for ancient evil lately so I'm excited for this to fit the bill!
Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki - There is a #TransRightsReadathon happening this coming week. I may not have time in my reading schedule to read this immediately, but I did go to the bookstore and pick up a book (this one!) in support. Light from Uncommon Stars is a cozy scifi, and I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

Book Lovers is very popular but I found the book just so-so. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see you are anxious to finish Book Lovers. I like Henry's books (YA and adult). Yeah for a five-star book. I recognized the last name of the author, and then realized that's who wrote City of Brass.
ReplyDeleteI am currently listening to The Adventures of Amina Al Sifari!!!! And I love it so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking cozy SF lately... will have to check out Light from Uncommon Stars.
ReplyDeleteI just read about Adventures of Amina last week for the first time and it sounds so interesting - and your enthusiasm is encouraging. I look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific week.

Glad to hear you are enjoying Book Lovers. I find a genre change is refreshing.

I haven't read any of those.
ReplyDeleteNice looking assortment of books. I enjoyed Book Lovers too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI requested a copy of The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi from my library when I first saw a bit about it here. It was not available and last week I requested a second copy. Now both copies are here! Glad to see how much you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI liked Book Lovers a lot. I'm in the mood for something light. I hope The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi fits that mood.
Book Lovers looks like a fun read. Happy Monday 😊
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy you new books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I don't even dare get into gaming because I'd spend so much time at ti. Speaks well for Book lovers, bet you've finished it by now.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of Pinata as well, I can't wait to read it!
