It’s time for a weekly check-in!

Happy holidays to anyone who is celebrating this weekend/next week! I’ve been so caught up in getting ready for the holidays and the end of the year that I’ve been struggling to stay on a content schedule, which is why I totally missed last week’s check-in post. 😅 Whoops! I’ve been reading a lot, though! At the time I’m writing this, I’ve finished 13 books this month (which is already as much as I read in all of November).

I’ve read a lot over the past two weeks and most of them were very enjoyable! Almost every book on this list was a buddy read, too. I read This Vicious Grace with Caro; Elfhame, ACOWAR, ACOFAS, and Radiance with Misty; Nettle & Bone with Misty and Erin; and Finger Bang Fang Fuck (what a title 🙃), A Crack in the Foundation, and Fluids with my friend Charisa’s discord server! Out of all of these, Radiance was definitely my favorite, but as you can see, I gave everything 3+ stars other than Fluids (which I low key hated lol).

• This Vicious Grace // Emily Thiede → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories // Holly Black → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Nettle & Bone // T. Kingfisher → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• A Court of Wings and Ruin // Sarah J. Maas (RE-READ) → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In // Kate Kennedy → ⭐⭐⭐
• Radiance // Grace Draven → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Finger Bang Fang Fuck // Seamus Belial → ⭐⭐⭐💫
• A Crack in the Foundation // C.M. Guidroz → ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
• Fluids // May Leitz → ❌ DNF ❌
• A Court of Frost and Starlight // Sarah J. Maas (RE-READ) → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚 current reads 📚

I finally gave up and put Nestlings on hold because I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore, but I want to try it again some time to see how it ends. I have a LOT of Christmas books I’d like to read over the next few days but I don’t know how many of them I’ll manage to get through!

• Christmas and Other Horrors // Ellen Datlow → 8%
• The Shadow of What Was Lost // James Islington → 15%
• Hark! the Herald Angels Scream // Christopher Golden (RE-READ) → 13%

Nothing new to report this week, sorry! I’ve been reading, working, and doing holiday prep non-stop, so I haven’t been gaming or watching movies AT ALL. We do have a few Christmas movies we watch every year, though, so I should hopefully have a little list of re-watch updates next week 🎅

What are you reading right now, or what did you recently finish? Is anything exciting happening in your life? Let me know in the comments!
