I skipped posting an update last weekend because I finally managed to spend some time down at the beach. 💙🌴🍹☀️🌊 The weather was wonderful on Saturday. On Sunday it turned really cold and rainy. I was just as happy to stay inside and read, though! Today’s update is going to look extra heavy because I’m including the week before as well.

Currently Reading

The Last by Hanna Jameson – This is post-apocalyptic, and I’m loving it.

The Dark Game by Jonathan Janz – This one is a lot of fun, too.

Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1) by Steven Erikson – Yikes! I’m taking part in a group read of this on Instagram. I’m actually enjoying the language a lot more than I thought I would, but I have no idea what’s going on in this book.

Recent Acquisitions

Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1) by Steven Erikson – I bought this on audio during Audible’s $5 sale and then I ran into a print copy at the thrift store so I grabbed that one, too! I will totally conquer this book.

The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth #1) by N.K. Jemisin – This is another book I grabbed during the Audible sale. Lilyn and I are going to buddy read it later this year if you’d like to join us.

Kings of the Wyld (The Band #1) by Nicholas Eames – Another Audible grab. I was mad that I missed the recent Kindle sale so I was happy to be able to grab the audio.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid – I’ve heard so many amazing things about this book so I grabbed this one during the Audible sale as well. It’s outside of my normal genres so I’m hoping I can make some room for it!

Nod by Adrian Barnes – I discovered this book while watching a “favorite fantasy books” YouTube video. It turns out it’s more horror than fantasy so yay! I can’t wait to read it.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson – I order Elantris because I just really want to read it!

So what about you? Let me know what you’re reading this week or leave me some links!
