GREENLIGHT. GATEKEEP. GHOSTHUNT.
The sequel to fantasy mystery The Undetectables (about three witches and a ghost in a cat costume who start a PI agency to stop a serial killer stalking their small magical town) lands this September and it’s 25% off in the Barnes and Noble preorder sale with code PREORDER25 from today until April 19th!
Here’s the official blurb:
Five months after the events of The Undetectables, business is booming – but finding cases that call for magical forensic investigators is not. So when Diana’s ex, Taylor, asks them to solve a murder – her own – Diana, Mallory and Cornelia can’t say no.
Called to investigate the set of Undead Complex, Diana re-enters the world of TV-show prop making – even in death, the show must go on. Even the appearance of a genuine-article Francine Leon dollhouse can't make up for the fact she's being pulled down a path of crime-solving she maybe doesn't want to walk forever.
Meanwhile, Theodore's coming apart at the seams – literally – in the aftermath of their last case, and Mallory is running out of ways to help him. Especially as he seems to be keeping secrets from her.
As the clues – and the bodies – keep piling up, each one making less and less sense, The Undetectables find themselves in a new race against the clock to find out what, exactly, the killer is up to – before they strike again...

My wrist is slowly feeling better, I'm reading a good book with a disabled day main character (The Undectables by Courtney Smyth) and it was nice out so I got to sun myself on my lunch hour.
Life is looking up.
Niw just need this headache to go away.

1, 8, 20, 23 for the book ask please!
1. Did you set a goal for yourself this year? How did you do? If not, why not?
Like every year, I did the GR Challenge where you can challenge yourself to read a certain number of books. I went for 60 and managed 70 (minus 5 or so that I dnf'd). I know from experience that any other more concrete challenges just Do Not Work for me. I come to a point where I don't feel like reading any of the books that would fit for the challenge and instead of going "these are arbitrary rules anyway, go and read something else and see how you feel after that" I'm like "Nooooooo" and stop reading altogether.
8. If someone were to ask you what your top ten books for this year were, which would you choose?
Ohhhh, I like that question, but don't take the exact order too serious. I loved all of those books:
Simon Jimenez - The Spear Cuts Through Water
Kim de Horizon - Blutbuch
Taylor Jenkins Reed - Daisy Jones and the Six*
Aliette de Bodard - Of Ghosts Charms and Grievances
Ivan Turgenjew - Fathers and Sons**
Jeanette McCurdy - I'm Glad my Mom Died
Pat Barker - Regeneration
R. F. Huang - Yellowface
KJ Charles - A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel
David Mitchell - Unruly
* specifically the audiobook version, I genuinely doubt I'd enjoyed it if I'd read it and not listened
** specifically the (fairly modern) German translation I read, which was damn good and which actually made me look up the translator (Ganna-Maria Braungardt) to see what else she translated. (I haven't picked up anything else by her yet, but I really want to)
20. Would you say that you had any kind of growth as a reader?
I have branched out from my usual genres (Fantasy and mystery with some romance thrown in) and read some more *~*literary*~* stuff, more non-fiction and - well - three classics (if you don't count the Jules Verne re-reads), which is more reading out of my "comfort zone" than I've done in previous years I think. And even in "my" genres, I picked up stuff that wouldn't have been on my radar earlier. (The Spear Cuts Through Water is definitely not a fantasy book I thought would have appealed to me, and The Tattoo Murder is also unlike my usually mystery fare)
23. What new releases did you read this year?
Brb checking release dates (I'll just take this as 'books released in 2023' even if I did not read it immediately after publication). So:
Yellowface
Claire North - House of Odysseus
Sarah Underwood - Lies We Sing To The Sea
Unruly
Priest - Guardian*
Martha Wells - Witch King
Josh Lanyon - Lament at Loon Landing
Courtney Smyth - The Undetectables
KJ Charles - A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel & The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen
* well the translation came out this year
(And I remember less than I'd like about Witch King because I took long breaks inbetween and because I read it when I was...not in a great place)
Thank you for asking <3

Hey! Do you have any good suggestions for books with lesbians?
Lots! The Lesbian Review has a way better organizational system for books with lesbians that I do, so I definitely recommend checking them out because that's their whole raison d'etre, but a few personal faves of mine are Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers, Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, anything by Ciara Smyth or Kelly Quindlen, Casting Lacey by Elle Spencer, The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould, and of course, my own Home Field Advantage.

*✧ — AUGUST WRAP UP
you all remember the text post i wrote about how overreading is a sign i am not coping well with something and actually procrastinating life. and how an anon in my inbox said “i tell my sister's boyfriend the number of books i read this month and he thinks he should congratulate me, but it's literally a shameful catholic confession that i should atone for with penance.”? this post is my shameful catholic confession. nothing more to add. if things keep going like this september might look similar.... someone pls send help. (don’t worry, i am doing fine, i’m just being dramatic.)
highlights of my months were all the new favourites, my reread/kind-of-buddy-read of loveless (shout out to jo for putting up with me) AND my reread of the hunger games and catching fire. these books still slap so hard. can’t wait to start mockingjay once i am done with my library books.
2022 reading goal: 169/100 books
2022 pages goal: 59,566/35,000 pages
previous wrap ups
as alway, feel free to drop book recs, questions, or opinions in my inbox; i am always happy to talk to you about books! <3
