Monday
I finished reading RAVENWOOD by Nathan Lowell. 3.5 stars. I enjoyed it quite a lot but there was some violence against a person that went on a little too long that was not enjoyable to read. I'll definitely continue to read the trilogy.
Currently reading THE PERSEPHONE CODE by Emma Orchard. 1st in new histmyst series.
1812Deep below the hills of the Buckinghamshire countryside, the infamous Hellfire Caves house a pleasure palace for the idle rich – a secret society steeped in satanism, opium and debauchery of the highest order. When the club’s warden, Antony Pennington, is brutally murdered, his bastard sister, Dora, must follow the clues to decode who the killer is, aided by an unexpected ally – ex-Army officer, former opium addict and son of a Viscount, Dr Jacob Sandys. As a shadow dogs their every footstep, Dora and Jacob find themselves in the midst of a shocking conspiracy, caught between the legendary Illuminati and the Hell Fire Club. With time running out, they must fight against both the most influential gentleman of the ton – and the undeniable attraction they feel towards each other…
Published 2024; 384 pages.
Also reading THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL, ANGRY PLANET. 1st of 4 in Wayfarers scifi series.
Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early to keep to herself, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain. Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.
Published 2014; 423 pages. I'm pretending the aliens aren't aliens. I have a problem reading about them.
I would like to add a third book, a scavenger hunt book probably for the prompt "favorite season" which is Fall for me. But even with the two I'm reading now, I don't know what I'm really in the mood for.
Waiting on some yarn so I started to crochet the blanket for me. It can be set aside at any time. The yarn is the same as the wedding bedspread but different color. The color is called Butter Cookie. (doesn't that sound nummy?)
No sprints tonight.
Have a good day
Much love,
