I spent most of my day in bed catching up on my Katabasis reading. I can’t believe that we’re already done next week! This chunk that we just read was so intense and my brain was overwhelmed by what it had to process. There is so much to digest in this story! 😂

I do need help deciding what I want to read next though. I’m going to keep my non-fiction audiobook for my commute read, but I want a nighttime read and I can’t decide what to pick up. Has anyone read any of these books? Which would you choose to read? ⬇️

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading The Wicked Lies of Habren Faire by Anna Fiteni. I’m honestly struggling to really get into it and I’m not 100% sure why. I feel like there’s something about the writing that keeps losing me. I often find myself zoning out which means I’ve read multiple sections multiple times, and I’m making very slow progress. I hope that changes soon!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday in bed reading This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman. This is the seventh DCC book and Leslie and I are continuing our buddy read of it. It only took me until Ch11 to shed my first tears (but this time happy ones!), lol. This book makes me want to rage against the machine, which is also very apt for everything that’s happening in Indonesia right now. 🙃

I’ll continue to spend the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron. I’m reading this with Leslie, Julie, and Ali as part of our Owlcrate group read. I’m enjoying this a lot! The characters are easy to connect with, the magic is interesting, the writing is engaging, and there are many elements being built up that have my interest hooked. I just hope that it follows through until the end because we’ve been let down before and I hope that doesn’t happen!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman. This is book 6 in the DCC series that I’ve been lowkey obsessed with! Leslie and I are continuing with our buddy read and we’re really gearing ourselves up for a world of heartache, lol. Help 🥲

I’ve spent most of my Sunday in bed reading Enchantra by Kaylie Smith. I started this book over a month ago, but it got shoved to the side for other reads. However, after finishing my last book and feeling a looming ‘book hangover’, I dove straight into this, and I’m so glad that I did. I’m enjoying it so much more than the first book, and I wish that this was the experience I had reading Phantasma!

I’ve spent all of my Sunday in bed with The Butcher’s Masquerade by Matt Dinniman. Leslie and I are continuing our buddy read and needless to say, we’re having a blast. This series is so freaking good—and there’s so much more to it than the outrageous covers and outlandish plot. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this series is fast becoming one of my new all-time faves!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver. This has been on my TBR for so long now but I finally I picked it up on a whim yesterday. It took me a bit to get into, but I’m surprised by how quickly I’ve gone through the story! It’s an easy but emotional read.

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri. This is a re-read buddy read and we’re close to finishing it! The writing is just as sharp, the story as action-packed, and the characters just as compelling (and equally frustrating) as I remember. Such fantastic world-building and so much emotion packed into this book!
