01.05.2023. Back to reading this month with Homer. I finally managed to find a copy of The Iliad translated by Robert Fitzgerald! Currently on Book II. Fitzgerald's more sombre translation really plays up the solemnity, gravitas, and rising tension of the looming slaughter. In terms of language, themes, and narrative, I think I like Iliad a lot better than the Odyssey .

may tbr || Content Pieces? -- May Monthly Reset || Bookshelf Organizing, Content Planning & Plan with Me

are you buddy reading any books in may?

I’ve got so many buddy reads and book clubs this month and I love it— buddy reads just always make the reading experience better. I’ve also got quite a range of genres, thankfully, after reading so much fantasy and so many comics last month.

PS: I totally forgot to include Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody!

May TBR--

Thanks to my newly minted library card, this is not all of my TBR for the month of May. Just the books I currently physically own. I’m so excited for the reads for the month of May. I get to start my Murderbot Diaries reread and I get to check out some books that have caught my eye but not held enough interest for me to actually go out and purchase them for myself.

1. Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney (Library)-- This is a Murder Mystery set on an isolated island. Daisy Darker’s family has never been what one would call functional. After years of avoiding each other, the family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday at the crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. When the tide comes in, they’ll be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours. Each family member arrives while harboring secrets and then at the stroke of midnight, as a storm rages, Nana is found dead. And an hour later the next family member follows. This is a retelling of sorts of the Agatha Christie story ‘And Then There Were None.’

2. Rookie Move by Sarina Bowen (Library)-- Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart and succeed in the NHL. But, on the first day he’s called up to the show, Leo gets checked on both sides. First, by the team’s coach who has a grudge; second, by the team’s sexy, icy publicist--his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington.

3. Greenglass House by Kate Milford (Library)-- This one seems to be a Middle Grade Mystery/Fantasy novel about a place called Greenglass House. It’s a creaky smuggler’s inn that’s always quiet during the wintertime. While Milo, the innkeepers’ adopted son, planned on relaxing during his holidays, things get thrown off course by the ring of the guest bell. It rings again and again. Soon, Milo’s home is bursting with odd and secretive guests who each bring a strange story that’s connected to the old house.

4. Demon in the Wood by Leigh Bardugo (Library)-- This one seems to be a graphic novel version of the Darkling’s history and backstory. I think it’s the only Grishaverse thing I have yet to read. I was never interested in buying it so I’m glad I finally have my library card and can read it for free.

5. Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl (Kindle)-- This is a YA Mystery following a group of friends a year after the death of their friend Jim. His girlfriend Beatrice has questions she wants answered and their meeting again gives her that chance. And then a mysterious man knocks on the door and announces the impossible: time for them has become stuck, snagged on a splinter that can only be removed if the former friends make the harshest of decisions.

6. A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid (NetGalley)-- A Fantastical Dark Academia novel that looks like it will be everything fans of Dark Academia could ever want. Since childhood, Effy Sayre has been haunted by visions of the Fairy King. She’s found solace only in the pages of Angharad--author Emrys Myrddin’s beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King and then destroys him. Effy’s tattered copy is all that keeps her afloat through her stifling first term at Llyr’s prestigious architecture college. So when Myddin’s family announces a contest to design the late author’s house, Effy feels certain this is her destiny.

7. The Marriage Act by John Marrs (New Release)-- From the author who brought us the insanity that was The One, comes a new Mystery/Thriller. What if marriage was the law? Dare you disobey? In near-future Britain, a right-wing government believes it has the answer to society’s ills--the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage and punishes those who choose to remain single. But four couples are about to discover just how impossible relationships can be when the government is monitoring every aspect of our personal lives and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honor, and obey.

8. All Systems Red by Martha Wells-- I’m finally starting my reread of The Murderbot Diaries! I cannot explain my excitement. I’ll just quote the GR synopsis since there’s so much I could just burst forth with already. “In a corporate-dominated space-faring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. For their own safety, exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conduction surface tests, shadowed by their Company supplied ‘droid--a self-away SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module and refers to itself as ‘Murderbot.’ Scornful of humans, Murderbot wants to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is, but when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth.”

9. The Beauty and the Beast (Minalima edition) by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve-- I’m so excited to read this interactive, illustrated version of the original story. The epic love story follows a beautiful young girl imprisoned in the magical castle of a monstrous beast.

10. The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas-- This is a standalone romance novel that is set after The Spanish Love Deception. But I’ve been reassured that I don’t need to read that one first. In this novel, we follow aspiring romance author Rosie Graham whose life is a little up in the air following her quitting her well paying job. But through a misunderstanding Rosie and Lucas both end up staying at her friend Lina’s apartment. They end up trying to break Rosie’s writer’s block in some unexpected ways.

Shadow and Bone 💭

Binged through season two of Shadow and Bone two weeks ago. After I finished, I of course felt that inevitable emptiness and decided to read the books. When my noncommittal scatterbrain aries ass acts up, I never finish anything that I start.. so my April tbr books have been put on hold as I passionately dive in head first to the ✨Grisha Universe✨. To be honest, I have fallen in love with the crows and I was looking forward to their story the most. However, the videos and blogs I watched and read regarding the order in which I should read the series all said to start with Alina’s story, The Shadow and Bone trilogy.

Anyways- I’m now on book two of the trilogy, Siege and Storm. So far, the show follows Alina’s story pretty well. I agree with most book reviewers that book Alina is kind of mean and stuck up lol and that she constantly ridicules herself and others. I feel like that’s common in a lot of young adult books written between the two-thousands and twenty-tens. The female leads are clueless about their beauty, typically ‘scrawny’, and self-proclaimed loners who judge others harshly lol. That being said, I do think she’s young and she is learning a lot as she goes and her growth is evident. Overall, I think the books have been good, and action-based, and the plot is slightly driven by miscommunication lmao, but I am looking forward to being done with the trilogy so I can begin Six of Crows.

June 2024 TBR

Hello friends!! Welcome to the June 2024 TBR. A post where I will attempt to intuit what I feel like reading for the month of June. Or rather, ChatGPT will, because I decided to try something new and different. So, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT to do other things in my life, and today I was like “why don’t I ask it to recommend me 10 books to read? what could possibly go wrong?” FYI, I am mildly…

Magical Bookstore Vibes In Hwang Boreum's Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

I was going to wait until I was a little further through it, but my current read is Hwang Boreum’s Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop and has blown me away within the first 50 pages. If you want to get a new perspective in life, want to see how others tackle existential questions about life, or simply want to live your bookstore owner dreams vicariously through our main character, then listen up…

I’m so proud of myself because I’m 4 books deep into my TBR! Granted, I just started “Fall of Ruin and Wrath”, but still!

I might be able to finish my TBR AND get to read ACOWAR.
