Finished up Station Eleven last night and what a read it was. A wonderful blend of the bleak and hopeful, I wish Iโ€™d discovered it during the Pandemic. Now on to Kingdom of Copper, even if Iโ€™m still reeling from a certain character death from book 1 ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #fantasy #books #booksky

The excitement is very real right now ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #booksky #fantasy #malazan

Februaryโ€™s Books: - The Kingdom of Copper - Onyx Storm - The City and itโ€™s Uncertain Walls - Gardens of the Moon - Station Eleven (feel like I slept on this a bit by not reading it during the Pandemic ๐Ÿ˜…) Gunna have to branch out to some non-fantasy soon so if youโ€™ve got any recโ€™s let me know! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Ongoing January reads: Ship of Magic - Hobb The Great Hunt - Jordan A Certain Hunger - Summers Heretics of Dune - Herbert The City of Brass - Chakraborty I usually read a couple books at a time but the chokehold City of Brass has on me is ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fantasy โœ… Djinn โœ… 18th Century Cairo as a setting? โœ… Starting the first book of the Daevabad Trilogy today and canโ€™t wait for some fantasy not set in European medieval vibes #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Surprisingly my kids have let me spend most of the holiday break binge reading. Moving on to Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang ๐Ÿ”ฎ today and somehow I managed to read half of it in one sitting ๐Ÿ™ƒ ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Been binging fantasy pretty hard lately, so Iโ€™m doing an 180 pivot and cozying up to this dark romance by one of my favourite dark romance writers today ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ โค๏ธ Hexed by Emily McIntire

Next read is a re-telling if the Fall of the House of Usher. Picked it up last night and am over halfway through ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Picking up this one today! Iโ€™m a sucker for a cool cover #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š

Out today, A Court of Wings and Ruin Part 1 on Babblin about Books! If the map at the front of the book ever had you #triggered, youโ€™re not alone! #books #booktalk #booktok #SJM #ACOTAR #ACOWAR ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š youtu.be/eBnynVVQQsg?...

If you were obsessed with Mulan like I was as a child, I canโ€™t recommend The Night Ends with Fire by K.X.Song enough. Iโ€™m halfway through and canโ€™t put it down ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿช
