Topical Books/Monthly Goal Books:
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride, by Matt Dinniman (audio, TBR): Still astonished I’m enjoying this series so much. Donut is getting on my nerves, though.
Still the Sun, by Charlie N. Holmberg (TBR): I actually really enjoyed this, although it was a bit odd.
Land of Dreams, by Gian Sardar (TBR): Liked this historical fiction read–although I couldn’t figure out the killer.
The Last Supper on the Moon, by Levi Lusko (TBR, Christian): This was an excellent read!
Awry, by Meghan Ciana Doidge (TBR): I enjoy this author’s writing.
The Lost Heiress, by Elizabeth Khehfoth (TBR): Nice dual timeline read.
Where Have All the Boys Gone, by Jenny Colgan. This audiobook was a perfect light read.
For Review:
Midnight on the Celestial, by Julia Alexandra. I enjoyed this a lot! Unique setting and I liked the world, the magic system, and the characters. I’d definitely read more.
Heiress of Nowhere, by Stacey Lee. I enjoyed this YA historical fiction, although I wish there would have been more about the sea wolves.
Only Spell Deep, by Ava Morgyn. I really didn’t care for this too much. The writing wasn’t bad, but the MC was supremely selfish and I didn’t like her.
When the Rain Came, by Matthew Eicheldinger. This felt more like middle grade than YA, but it was a decent read and a solid start to a series.
Daughter of Egypt, by Marie Benedict. I enjoyed this a lot, as it combined my love of Egyptian history with the 1920s.
The Geomagician, by Jennifer Mandula. Historical fiction with magic and fossils? Yes, please. I really liked this–and I want a pterodactyl.
Honey in Her Veins, by Ruth McKell (review forthcoming). This was quite an interesting read! Appalachian fantasy with nature magic, anyone?
Burn the Kingdom Down, by Addie Thorley. This fantasy read will make you question pretty much everything you see on the page.
Left Unfinished:
There’s Something About Mira, by Sonali Dev. I found Mira pretty boring and lost interest quickly.
Spellbound by Murder, by Stacie Ramey. I saw a lot of comparisons to Charmed and Gilmore Girls in reviews of this book. I never watched Gilmore Girls and only occasionally watched Charmed, so I didn’t DNF this because of that. But because it felt cliched and over-the-top and kitschy and it was just very meh.
The Creek, the Crone, and the Crow, by Rachel Weiss. I read the author’s previous book in this same Appalachian community and enjoyed it. I read almost 20% of this one and it just seemed to drag and meander in circles. The cover is absolutely beautiful, though.
Love By the Book, by Jessica George. I made it 15%, but…why keep reading about people I don’t care about?
The Last Woman of Warsaw, by Judy Batalion. WW2 historical fiction is my absolute favorite genre to read, so believe me when I say I tried. But at 20%, I still didn’t care about either of these MCs.
