The Bookish Life
Welcome to 2023! Hopefully the holidays weren’t too bad, and your first week of the year went alright. I am feeling rather accomplished this week as I have finished a book on my 15 book TBR challenge.
Reads & Recs
Technically this was the second book on my list, but I’m glad I started with this one anyway. It’s LONG! Easily the longest book I’ve read in a while. If you’re a dragon obsessed person, you’ll love this book. It’s epic fantasy with diversity and representation that works! I’m glad I took the time to read this book, and I’m glad I had the time to read this book! Sometimes vacations let you do that.
Next book in my TBR challenge is The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina by Zoraida Cordova. I’m already part way through this book, so I think I’ll likely finish it by Monday or Tuesday. But I’ve been surprised before. So far, I’m behind by five books since The Priory of the Orange Tree took me two weeks!
Meh. I’ll live. If I can’t finish the list by Jan 31st, I’ll keep reading from the list until I do finish it. It’s so hard to stick to the list though! So many good books are showing up in all my socials that I’m excited to read.
Speaking of exciting reads! Here’s one you can check out:
Sisters, one a witch and one a wolf shifter are regarded by their mage circle as worthless, threatened from the shadows, and their only solution is to go rogue. Love the premise already! And the cover is awesome! Click the image to get all the details.
