It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
Just Finished
What a morning! I managed to finish two books on the same day! I managed to catch up on my buddy read of The Tropic of Serpents and I really enjoyed this book. I also finished my audiobook of The Adventure of the Demonic Ox and as always I was so happy to be with Pen and Des again and sad that the adventure is over so quickly! And I absolutely love seeing Penric as a Father 🥹. This series has my heart.
Currently Reading
I kept seeing Do Your Worst pop up everywhere and thought it sounded like a fun seasonal romance. I only just started it so I don’t have much of an opinion so far. But I do enjoy a good haunted Scottish castle as a setting!
Up Next
Okay, I was supposed to read A Tempest of Ravens before it came out but now that ship has sailed. It released 3 days ago and I am still planning on picking this up soon!

Cover Reveals
Ash Black and The Seven Wolves by Effie Joe Stock
After the mysterious death of her father the king, Ash Black finds herself facing a growing evil amidst her hasty coronation. Whispered rumors of treason become a grim reality when her stepmother accuses her of wielding black magic and murdering the king, and announces that her own daughter, Snow White, will rise to the throne instead.
Her title stripped, wolf familiar torn from her side, and childhood love and fiancé betrothed to her hateful half-sister, Ash Black awaits her trial in the forgotten depths of her castle. There, in a place so devoid of warmth, love, and light, Ash Black learns her communion with the night and the creatures who hide within are not just delusion, but a deep, powerful magic that has ruled the land for centuries.
With the help of a soul trapped in a mirror, a clever jumping spider, and seven wolf spirits, Ash Black races against time to awaken the magic within herself, bending darkness, blood, and bone to her will to destroy a light-ridden lie squeezing the balance and freedom from her kingdom. Yet as her lover, family, magic, and kingdom hang in the balance, Ash Black quickly finds no happy endings are won without immense sacrifice.
The Kickstarter Campaign for this project is also now open.
Stacking The Shelves

I’m mostly stacking my shelves via the library this time. Iluminae is for a buddy read in November and it feels like all my holds arrived at the same time. I also saw The Emilie Adventures on sale on Google Books and I’ve had my eye on it for a while so I jumped on it. There’s not much else I can do with my Google money so books it is.
Current Library Borrows
- Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell
- Over The Garden Wall, Vol. 4 by Patrick McHale

What book(s) are you currently reading? Or, What song would you add to a Halloween playlist?🎃
Ash Black has a great cover! I hope you have a fun Halloween, even if you don’t make any formal plans😁
I really love the art style for the cover too! Thank you Tammy, I hope you have a fun Halloween too if you like to celebrate it. If not then I wish you a very happy day regardless 🖤
Do Your Worst looks good. I hope you enjoy your books.
Thanks Yvonne, I sadly ended up DNF-ing almost immediately the next day, it just was kind of annoying.
I like the cover of the Martha Wells book and I’ve been wanting to read Illuminae for a while, I hope you enjoy them.
I love the cover for that Martha Wells book too, so intricate! And same here, I’m glad my friends chose Illuminae for a buddy read because who knows when I would have picked it on my own!
I love that Spooky Scary Skeletons cover. That’s a lot of fun! Thanks for linking up with me!
Me too, it’s such a fun cover it has a perfect amount of whimsy! And my pleasure 🙂
Spooky Scary Skeletons cover is sooooo good! *_* Thanks for sharing it! 🙂
And I am curious to know what you will think of Illuminae! I loved it, and lately I was recommending it to one of my coworkers. But I almost convinced myself to re-read it! So now I am thinking about it… 😉
Ah I’m so glad you liked the cover of spooky scary skeletons but I’m also not surprised that you did 😉 lol
Well so far I can tell you I am loving Illuminae and I constantly want to be reading it. I’m listening to the audio too while read along which I feel is enhancing the experience. If you do reread it we can always chat about it , let me know if you need to rave about it 😀 haha
