Tuesday
I didn't read last night. I truly meant to, even though online sprints were canceled. There is a young couple on YouTube that I follow who react to music and musics for the first time. Movies are Mondays and Fridays. They've been watching the Harry Potter franchise. Last night, they reacted to the second to the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1. They are cute reacting to they watch. And then I watched a couple sisters on YouTube who react to movies as well and last night was the original Footloose.
And there went the evening because I got too tired to read after that. But here are the books I'm contemplating to jump my current queue because they're from the library.
THIS WOVEN KINGDOM by Tahereh Mafi. 1st of 2 so far in fantasy series.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight. The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.
Published 2022; 500 pages.
And THE ROCKY ROAD TO RUIN by Meri Allen. 1st of 3 in The Ice Cream Shop Mystery series, featuring Riley Rhodes, travel food blogger and librarian at the CIA in Connecticut.
Riley Rhodes, travel food blogger and librarian at the CIA, makes a bittersweet return to her childhood home of Penniman, Connecticut – land of dairy farms and covered bridges - for a funeral. Despite the circumstances, Riley’s trip home is sprinkled with reunions with old friends, visits to her father’s cozy bookshop on the town green, and joyful hours behind the counter at the beloved Udderly Delicious Ice Cream Shop. It feels like a time to help her friend Caroline rebuild after her mother’s death, and for Riley to do a bit of her own reflecting after a botched undercover mission in Italy. After all, it’s always good to be home. But Caroline and her brother Mike have to decide what to do with the assets they’ve inherited – the ice cream shop as well as the farm they grew up on – and they’ve never seen eye to eye. Trouble begins to swirl as Riley is spooked by reports of a stranger camping behind the farm and by the odd behavior of the shop’s mascot, Caroline’s snooty Persian, Sprinkles. When Mike turns up dead in the barn the morning after the funeral, the peace and quiet of Penniman seems upended for good. Can Riley find the killer before another body gets scooped?
Published 2021; 330 pages.
And there is MALICE, which I already have as a physical book from B&N so I may let this one go back for a while. It's just convenient to have the ebook also for sleeping in bed reading.
Tonight, I have a live stream on YouTube of Randee's (Thunderhorse Descendent shop/Found objects lady) monthly ticket prizes give away at 7pm. But I'm also going to try to get some good reading in.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
