 What I've Been Writing:

I finished listening to Impostors and Thieves, and then I listened to the whole thing again.  Now, I think I'll set it aside until the current reader finishes before I go through it again. It's growing on me more and more as I keep going through it. It's at 138,447 words now. My excitement for this one is growing.


What I've Been Reading:

I finished reading Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross, and really enjoyed it. Now, I'm working my way through One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. This is the second book that's tarot-based that I've ever read.  Or revolves around some kind of magical cards. Last month, Arcana Academy was the first I'd read like that, so it's strange that I so quickly found around. I think they're coming for me now!


What I've Been Buying:

I raked in another big week of new books. This week I got:

  • The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle Jensen (a signed special edition)
  • Seven Deadly Thorns by Amber Hamilton 
  • Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz (from Book of the Month Club)
  • Heir by Sabaa Tahir
  • Blackthorn by J.T. Geissinger
