Good day, my darlings.
Effectively, right here we’re: September. I don’t find out about you, however the previous couple of years have undoubtedly left me feeling tremendous disoriented. Absolutely it’s not autumn of 2021….that simply doesn’t sound correct.
That mentioned, I’m wanting ahead to some crisp fall climate and SUPER wanting ahead to adorning for Halloween quickly!! I’ve all the time liked Halloween and now that I’m all grown up with my very own little entrance yard to embellish I actually lean into it. It’s a lot enjoyable.
I’ve been studying a LOT this 12 months. I feel it’s a mixture of causes: as a result of I can’t actually go anyplace, as a result of I’m confused and books make me really feel higher and in addition simply because I like doing it. I’ve been diving actually enthusiastically into City Fantasy as a style and I’ve had the nice luck to find a number of new-to-me UF authors I actually love (Ilona Andrews, Seanan McGuire, Karen Likelihood). So many good books recently! I could need to do a brand new large studying checklist once more quickly.
How are you doing? Have been you in a position to get some refreshing relaxation this summer time earlier than diving into Fall’s new beginnings?
xoxo,
Becky
What I’m Studying
The Royals Subsequent Door by Karina Halle. Yesss, this guide! There are royals however not one of the royals are concerned on this guide’s central romance…that honor goes to a sure taciturn bodyguard who likes to bake and the royal family’s new neighbor, a schoolteacher who takes care of her mom and likes issues quiet. This up to date Romance is so cute and candy and enjoyable – like a scrumptious cupcake for the mind, however a genuinely touching and real one. I actually liked it.
Blood Inheritor by Ilona Andrews. I discussed Ilona Andrews above as one of many authors I’ve been tremendous into recently. That is their newest: the primary guide in a secondary collection that’s meant as a observe as much as the writer’s improbable Kate Daniels collection. Blood Inheritor is improbable, with the entire elaborate mythology and engrossing character arcs as the unique collection. I strongly strongly suggest that you simply learn Kate Daniels, first, although, otherwise you’ll have a lot of spoilers for the unique collection’ predominant plot factors. Even the actual fact of who the primary character is in Blood Inheritor is a Kate Daniels spoiler. So I’m truly not going to inform you something about Blood Inheritor besides that you simply’ll find it irresistible should you’ve already learn and liked Kate’s books.
These books are City Fantasy they usually’re on the bloody facet: post-apocalyptic with a lot of gritty magical battles and dramatic private relationships with intricate worldbuilding primarily based on actual mythology. It’s improbable and excellent for when you want to disappear right into a fictional world.
Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Corridor. This can be a Up to date Romance set at a fictional baking competitors that may be very clearly primarily based on the Nice British Bake Off and it’s so cute and heartwarming and great. Like The Royals Subsequent Door, this guide additionally options an in any other case gruff and tough across the edges hero who likes to bake. I didn’t understand “powerful guys with hearts of gold who wish to bake” was a class of Romance however I’m right here for it.
