Suspect I know which one will get the most votes. Nearing the end of Jane Eyre. I don’t hate it like Wuthering Heights, but it’s not as good as Wildfell Hall.

What should I read next?

📚 “My soul is friends with yours…”

👍 I absolutely loved this book, and this author has become an auto read! It has Holton’s trademark humor and hijinks. Secret friends to lovers was also a nice touch. I also liked how the epilogue has all the couples from the series getting together, it was a nice parallel to her Wisteria Society ending.

***Thank you @netgalley @india.holton and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.***

Birkerts has plenty of angst over the demise of the paper book, and I don't share his view, I suspect. But let's give him a fair hearing as he laments the shift from static to dynamic text.

> Kentucky governor announces new book with nationwide healing message https://fox56news.com/news/kentucky/kentucky-governor-announces-new-book-with-nationwide-healing-message/

Our governor is getting into the political book act. Good as he has been for KY, at times, like other politicians I think he gets a bit too cozy with the #Christian establishment, but it is what it is. Still, I may read it, and we may possibly buy it for our library due to local interest.

👍 This book picks up right where book 2 left off. However, the lore really expands in this one! We finally start to get some answers, but there’s still some revelations to come. We also get some new POV. On to book 4!
👎 Thea was slightly reckless in going to Venice but hey. Plots gotta plot I guess 😂

Prose, poetry, and art from Jamaican-American Rankine which opens up a reflection on American loneliness, race, and depression follow 9/11. Twenty years later, I dread how much will still feel true.

Feel like getting your hands on a sweet yet dark romance? I’ve got just the thing for you:

🗡FBI romance
🗡Stalker / Serial killer
🗡Scarred FMC
🗡Past Trauma for both MMC & FMC
Available here: https://books2read.com/bts-LA

I can read the dead like a story.
The broken bones, the torn skin—they whisper their secrets to me.
But the living? They’re much harder to decipher.
Especially him.
Agent Byron Scott.
All sharp edges and relentless focus, he sees through my scars and the walls I’ve built to protect myself.
I didn’t mean to let him in.
Didn’t mean to fall for the way he looks at me, like I’m more than my haunted past.
I should shut him out while I still can.
Because falling for Byron Scott isn’t safe.
Not when the serial killer he’s hunting is leaving bodies in their wake.
Not when a stalker is following my every move, watching from the shadows.
Byron says he’ll protect me.
But with danger closing in from every side, I’m not sure who I need saving from more—my enemies or the man who’s tearing down my defenses piece by piece.

Current #TBR. Was genuinely torn with where to begin, ended up starting with Sophie Strand's The Body is a Doorway. I think Water Mirror Echo will have to be next after I listened to an interview with the author Jeff Chang.

What's on your TBR?

A stack of books, mostly from a library, on a glass topped coffee table. Titles from bottom to top: Let Me In Your Window by Adam Ellis, Mask of the Deer Woman by Laurie L. Dove, Rogue Elephant by Paul Heideman, Water Mirror Echo by Jeff Chang, Spent by Alison Bechdel, The Body is a Doorway by Sophie Strand, She Who Knows and One Way Witch by Nnedi Okorafor, Urban Trails Olympia by Craig Romano, and So Lucky and She is Here by Nicola Griffith.

👍 Happy movie release day!
Fun fact, before booksta, I had only DNF’d two books: Lord of the Flies and Wuthering Heights. Neither one was required reading in school, I was just bumming copies from my sister. I remember thinking the MC’s in Wuthering Heights were so unlikeable and having the same names was confusing.
The movie doesn’t look anything like the book though so maybe I should give it a chance? Maybe I should attempt a re-read while I’m at it 😬

Saad writes from her space as British, as African, as Muslim, but importantly to whites her are ignorant or complacent in their positions of power. A 28-day guidebook to thinking about race and power, it sounds like a great companion to as earlier read, 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.

On that basis, as I often say, if the Better Half goes before I go it's the #HermitLife for me since I am not 6 ft. tall, blonde, blue eyed, and definitely NOT wealthy, astronomically or otherwise.

Good news: I cleaned 2 square feet of my room.

Better news: I found four more books for my To Be Read pile.

📚 “ ‘Change is scary.’ ‘Regret is scarier.’”

👍 I picked this up bc of the dog on the cover but it was actually really cute! It’s a friends to lovers/second chance/best friend’s brother romance. It has some 🌶️. It also has only one bed trope.

👎 Third act break up
Tbh, the formatting on the POV was weird. It would switch in the middle of the chapter sometimes with no warning. No chapter break, or sub heading to be seen.

A kind of prequel to the amazing 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, I'll be interested to see how he translates his sharp & savvy 21st century styles to the 19th century. Sounds like it, too, will be worth a podcast episode, maybe this week!

The scholar is also author of the recent book 'Puerto Rico: A National History' which my library has, and I checked out to read soon.
