Sometimes I will talk about books!

What I've just finished
I talked about Verity here. I also read Practicing Mindfulness: 75 Essential Meditations to Reduce Stress, Improve Mental Health, and Find Peace in the Everyday by Matthew Sockolove, since I've been doing a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course at work. AND! I finished The Winterknight trilogy by Katherine Arden, which I tore through, and am completely obsessed with. Medieval Russia fantasy and folklore!

What I'm reading now
How to Be a Victorian: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Victorian Life by Ruth Goodman. It's long and a little dry, but I like historical info, so I'm moving along. I'm also reading The Parallel series by Elizabeth O'Roark, which is soulmates/reincarnation/time travel, which are some of my favorite tropes, so I'm loving it.

What I'm reading next
I think I might finally tackle The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab, and then The Empress of Time by Kylie Lee Baker.

I really enjoyed the Winterknight trilogy.

It was so different than what I was expecting! I love when I’m completely surprised by a book.

ADORE Addie LaRue. <3

I’ve heard both good and bad, so I’m glad to hear this!

SO glad I talked you into Winternight and that you loved it as much as I do.

Also Addie LaRue is so good, it hit me like a ton of bricks. VE Schwab doesn't always hit for me, but this one really worked.

I am also reading victorian stuff but it's cozy mystery stuff.

I need. murder.

I don't think I read any of Ruth Goodman's books but I really enjoy the educational Farm series she used to take part in for the BBC. Highly suggest you check the series out if you can find them (Wartime, Victorian, Edwardian series were pretty good. Tudor Monastery wasn't bad but I really enjoyed the two archaeologists from the other series better).
