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!

I’ll be spending the rest of my night in bed continuing to read A Master of Djinn by P. Djèli Clark. I’ve only read a novella by Clark years ago and I completely forgot how humorous his writing can be. At 30%, I’m enjoying this steampunk mystery set in an alternate Egypt (and world) where magic exists. At times all the world-building can get a bit overwhelming and the pace has been a bit up-and-down, but I’m curious to know what’ll happen next!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday in bed reading finishing Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws. It’s kind of fun and silly but I’m also aware that it won’t be for everyone, especially if you do not want to be reading about surrogacy in a ‘lighthearted’ romance. I’ve enjoyed the slow-burn though!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday in bed reading The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman. This is the third book in The Thursday Murder Club Series and I’m buddy reading it with Leslie. Just a few chapters in and I love how easily I’ve slipped back into this setting and story with these oldies. They’re so wonderful and entertaining—I love them! 💜

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading Embrace the Serpent by Sunya Mara. This is an ARC I was excited to receive not only because it sounded amazing + the cover is stunning, but I remember enjoying Mara’s debut years ago and I’m keen to check out another book of hers. I’m just getting started so no thoughts yet!
