Random Reads #694, March 6th
Third Sentence Thursday #708, March 6th
Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme which likes to watch fireworks especially while eating a cookie!
1) Take the book you are currently reading and open it to a random page. Share the third full sentence on that page. (If there isn't a third one – like at the end of a chapter or a blank page – you can share the third sentence of the book or just choose another random page.) Feel free to share more than one sentence, if you feel the need to do so.
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence at Words I Write Crazy (This Blog)
4) Visit one or two of the other blogs to check out their third sentences!

A talented heretic must decide between the pursuit of forbidden magic, or the ecstasy of forbidden love, in the start of a sweeping, romantic epic fantasy trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Tessa Gratton.
Can an empire trip and fall on a mere strand of silk?
Iriset is a prodigy and an outlaw. The daughter of a powerful criminal, she dons her alter ego Silk to create magical disguises for those in her father’s organization, but she longs to do more with her to enhance what it means to be human by giving people wings, night-sight, and other abilities; to unlock the possibilities of gender and parenthood; to cure disease and even to end mortality itself.
Everything changes when her father is captured and sentenced to death. To save him, Iriset must infiltrate the palace and the empire’s fanatical ruling family. There, she realizes she has a chance—and an obligation—to bring down the entire corrupt system. She'll have to entangle herself in the lives of the emperor and his sister, getting them to trust and even to love her. But love is a two-way street, and Iriset’s own heart holds the most mysterious and impenetrable magic of all.
Why the time hasn't come yet...
It hasn't come out yet, it comes out in a couple of months, and I have an ARC of it, and I need to read it, it sounds really good! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Waiting on Wednesday #721, March 5th
Expected Publication: March 18th, 2025
From Goodreads:
As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
From Goodreads:
When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town.
Expected Publication: March 18th, 2025
From Goodreads:
But they’re not the only ones hunting in the forest, and as their feelings for each other rekindle, they risk being torn apart once more.
From Goodreads:
Bly has nothing left to lose in her quest to save her sister in this thrilling sequel to The Revenant Games that’s perfect for fans of All of Us Villains meets Kingdom of the Wicked.
Bly won the Revenant Games, but she lost everything else.
In her desperation to resurrect her sister, Bly betrayed Kerrigan, the vampire who she’d planned to sacrifice to the witches before she fell in love with him—only to find out that Elise was never dead. With nothing left, Bly will do whatever it takes to locate her sister.
Her only lead on Elise lies with Kerrigan’s brother, Donovan, who she turned over to the witches in place of Kerrigan. She spends her nights tracking down witch prisons to rescue him. Meanwhile, Kerrigan is also searching for Donovan, but after Bly’s treachery, he refuses her help.
But when the vampire queens accuse the two of them of treason, they’re only offered one escape from retrieving a mystical root that only grows on the banks of the Hallow Pool, where legend says that vampires and witches were created. Now Kerrigan and Bly must find a way to work together if they want to keep their lives and save their siblings.
Expected Publication: March 18th, 2025
From Goodreads:
Don't miss this stunning dual-POV follow up to THE LAST BLOODCARVER, where morals will be tested, hearts pushed to the limit, and fates determined once and for all. Vanessa Le's jaw-dropping sequel is a bloody and luscious spectacle to be devoured in one sitting.
From Goodreads:
These Violent Delights meets Divine Rivals in the explosive finale to The Last Bloodcarver duology -- with a riveting medical magic system and lush Vietnam-inspired romantasy world.
Kochin is a heartsooth -- a rare being with the ability to heal any wound. Any wound, that is, except death.
Intent on defying nature and bringing Nhika back to life, Kochin keeps her body in a life-preserving casket and waits for a miracle. Stricken with grief and descending into madness, Kochin realizes the answer to his desperate quest can only lie in one place: Yarong, the lush yet battle-ridden island the first heartsooths called home.
Months later, Nhika wakes in a familiar manor-house, with Kochin nowhere to be found. As she traces his footsteps across Theumas, she discovers the haunting path he walked to bring her back, and a world changed by war.
When Kochin discovers the true and grisly way to resurrect a person from the grave, he must decide exactly how much he is willing to sacrifice, in order to reunite with the woman he loves...

So this week I want to read Queen of Shadows and Ruin and The Ragpicker King!
Zarya must become the darkness…
Soaring through the sky to the frozen mountains of Andhera, Zarya knows that only she can save her home from annihilation. Ruthless armies hunt her friends and toxic dark magic spreads through the land, consuming all it touches. To fight back, she and Rabin must find dangerous new allies.
In a palace of black marble, Zarya finally meets her father—the mysterious Raja Abishek. She approaches warily. For years she was told to fear this man, that he seeks to steal her power. But Abishek welcomes her with open arms, with gifts and lavish celebrations.
Rabin is sure the king can help them, turning the tide of war and decay. And when the magic binding Zarya's heart to Rabin begins to fail, only Abishek can offer a cure. Zarya dreads the thought of placing their lives in his hands… But can she hesitate, when Rabin might be torn from her forever?
As Zarya makes her choice, ancient magic breaks loose, and her world shatters. In a ruined and long forgotten city, her love for Rabin will be tested to its limits. An army of shadows marches against her, destroying all in its path, and everything Zarya loves will be lost, unless she can face the darkness inside her—and release its devastating power.
An absolutely gripping fantasy romance that's perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Carissa Broadbent, Queen of Shadows and Ruin is the epic final volume in the Nightfire Quartet.
In the epic follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Sword Catcher, praised by George R. R. Martin as “everything I look for in fantasy,” Lin and Kel must chart a perilous course between love and lies.
Kel Saren, body double to Conor, crown prince of the dazzling city of Castellane, is caught between two worlds. In order to protect his beloved prince, Kel must find the culprits responsible for a massacre at the royal palace—and the only clues are held by the Ragpicker King, the notorious criminal who rules Castellane’s underworld. The trail Kel follows leads back to the Hill, where among decadent nobles and glittering parties a dark conspiracy to destroy the royal family has taken hold—a conspiracy headed up by the monstrous Artal Gremont, the man engaged to marry the woman Kel adores.
Meanwhile, Lin Caster must face the aftermath of the greatest risk she’s ever taken. To save the life of a dying friend, Lin has falsely claimed to be the Goddess Reborn, the legendary heroine destined to save her people. Now the terrifying—but strangely magnetic—leader of her people has arrived to test her powers. The price of failure is exile, and only through her alliance with the Ragpicker King can she continue to access the magic that may save her.
Then Prince Conor reappears in her life, demanding that she use her healing powers to cure the madness of his father, the King. Lin soon realizes the King is gripped by an ancient and terrible magic, one whose lure she cannot deny any more than she can deny her growing passion for Conor.
As the simmering tensions in Castellane reach a fever pitch, Lin and Kel must decide who to trust when any false move means death—or worse.

Wheel of TBR #249, March 2nd
I saw Codie's Book Corner doing the Wheel of TBR, and I thought that sounded like a great way to pick what to read from your TBR. So thanks to her! I'll only do 3 spins, because I'm doing this every week, and so it won't make up my total TBR of the week, but it'll be a start!
Rules:1. For each week of the month, I'll do 3 spins each week to read each week though I do have the rest of the month to read them. Once a prompt is used, I'll randomly choose one from the list, keeping track of how often a colour comes up. If colour comes up 3 or more times in month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 3 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it before the end of the month, then for my next week of spins, I have to add a punishment for each book unread. I'll roll for each unread book, and have to apply each and every punishment chosen to the week.
3. Each month I'll get a prompt from my Binge Read Wheel (either specifically picking the prompt, or spinning the wheel) and I have to read at least 9 books, though I can read more!
Of the books from the last week, I read Heavenbreaker by Sara Wolf, The Dark Mirror by Samantha Shannon, Junkyard Roadhouse by Faith Hunter.
Binge Read Wheel:
For this past month, the wheel picked Ebook TBR. I read Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli, A Theory of Dreaming by Ava Reid, Snow Place Like LA by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, A Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, Seas and Greetings by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, A Jingle Bell Mingle by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, Igniting Fate by Jean Louise, We Were Warned by Chelsea Ichaso, The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst, When the Bones Sing by Ginny Myers Sain, so I've read 33/9+.
For this month, the wheel picked Genre.
Prompts Used This Week:
Series Continued and Unfinished/Current 2022, Series Started and Unfinished/Current 2023, Monthly ARC.
Series Continued and Unfinished/Current 2022-Spring Green-Shadow's Heart by Kresley Cole-I continued on with The Dacian series by Kresley Cole in 2022, so that works!

Week 9 Review: When the Bones Sing
From New York Times bestselling author of Dark and Shallow Lies comes a new southern gothic supernatural thriller about a teen girl in a small Ozark town who can hear the bones of the dead.
For fans of House of Hollow and She Is a Haunting.
The past three years have been tough for Lucifer's Creek, Arkansas, a small town quietly tucked away in the Ozark mountains. More than two dozen people have disappeared on the local hiking trails; there one moment, gone the next, not a trace left behind, until their buried bodies are discovered.
17-year-old Dovie doesn't believe in magic even though she comes from a long line of women who can hear the bones of the dead sing, and for the past few years the bones have been crooning nonstop, calling out to Dovie to dig them up.
Some of the old-timers believe that it's the monstrous Ozarks howler snatching people off the Aux Arc Trail. Well Dovie doesn' believe in the howler, and she doesn't believe her best friend Lo when he tells her he is being haunted by dark shadows. All she believes in is her talent that guides the local sheriff to the bones when they begin their song, then reuniting the dead with their families to give them some peace.
Lo doesn't know peace, though. The shadows follow him everywhere. He soon learns they're the murdered hikers and they want answers. But the truth of their deaths isn't buried with their bones; it's hidden somewhere deep in the hills. And Lo and Dovie must unearth it before anyone else is killed.

Week 9 Review: The Warbler
From the author of The Lies Among Us comes a magical tale about mothers and daughters, choices and consequences, and the real meaning of home when every place feels like a cage.
Ten months. That's the longest Elisa has stayed anyplace, constantly propelled by her fear that if she puts down roots, a family curse will turn her into a tree.
But she's grown tired of flitting from town to town and in and out of relationships. When she discovers a small town in Massachusetts where mysterious forces make it impossible for the residents to leave, she hopes she can change her fate.
As Elisa learns about the town's history, she understands more about the women in her family, who seem doomed to never get what they want. Now she believes she's stuck, too—is that a patch of bark on her arm? But her neighbor's collection of pet birds sings secrets that Elisa can almost understand—secrets she must unravel in order to be truly alive.

All her life, Eden Stafford has heard the lore about the abandoned beach resort at the edge of ever since the notorious murder there, anyone who sets foot on the property is cursed to die, It's more than just a over the years, two high school students who dared to explore the ruins of Fairport Village were killed there.

Week 9 Review: Junkyard Roadhouse
Shining Smith stands on the brink of achieving her goals, and yet now she could lose everything.
The presidents of four motorcycle clubs are coming to claim blood sacrifice and to ink her with motorcycle club tats. Her new roadhouse and its charter have to meet their approval or the roadhouse has no future, and neither does Shining.
An injured kid shows up at Smith's Junk and Scrap, but collapses before he can speak.
A note arrives containing a warning and a plea for help, addressed by someone who knows Shining's most intimate secrets—her history, her plans, and the names of her friends. The sender claims his daughter has been kidnapped by Shining's enemies. To keep her secrets, he wants Shining to get his daughter back.
In order to rescue the hostage and keep her junkyard, her roadhouse, her people, and the cats alive, Shining Smith will have to suffer, fight, and bargain her way out of danger. All without accidently transitioning anyone—creating an accidental thrall—no matter how much her nanobots want her to.
Lock and load. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Week 9 Review: Igniting Fate
This epic sequel to Waking Fire follows a girl forced to leave home for the first time to confront her destiny--and the ancient evil dragon god set to destroy the world. Perfect for fans of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin and We Hunt the Flame.
Igniting Fate is the sequel and conclusion to WAKING FIRE, an incendiary YA fantasy that previously published from Inkyard last year and that bestselling author Sara Holland hailed as "propulsive and full of heart."
The story picks up right where WAKING FIRE left of and introduces readers to new cities and cultures drawn from North African, West African, and Middle Eastern influences.
With dragons making a splash right now in the market, and successes like Fourth Wing and So Let the World Burn captivating readers. Igniting Fate is the perfect pick me up for readers looking for more epic dragon worlds.

Week 9 Review: The Dragon Queen
Talon says the most horrible thing—that he doesn't expect to survive the war.
It's an outcome I don't want to consider. My whole life has been an endless reign of suffering until I found him. He was the one who caused this misery—but he' also the one that healed it. Happiness is a terrifying joy, because once you have it, all you can think about is the moment you lose it.
It's been decades since Talon has been to the Southern Isles, the place that had been his home for most of his life. Ethan says the place has changed, that the citizens are locked inside the kingdoms, that sailors can't get into port without an inspection, that the people are starving from a mysterious plague.
Before the battle can commence, we need to know what we're up against, so I volunteer to enter the castle as a maid and report everything I know. I'm not there for a week when I see that Barron is exactly the swine that Talon says he is. It's there that I discover a horrid list of truths.
It's there that I discover the Southern Isles has been destroyed by a dictator—and Barron is already prepared for war—because he knows exactly who the Death King is.

Week 9 Reviews: A Not So Silent Night, Snow Place Like LA, A Holly Jolly Ever After, O Come All Ye Newlyweds, Seas and Greetings, A Jingle Bell Mingle, We Three Horndogs
Greetings, intrepid holiday readers! We are so excited to present this Bee and Nolan bonus scene to you as a spicy little present to kick off the holiday season.
After we wrote A Merry Little Meet Cute, we realized we left something on the table—or several somethings, actually. And so, if you, like us, wanted to see Bee and Nolan delve into Bee's suitcase collection of toys, then you may enjoy the battery-operated delights herein! (Plus there is some swoony, get-down-on-one-knee stuff, because we couldn't resist.)
This scene takes place after the end of A Merry Little Meet Cute and during the events of A Holly Jolly Ever After—but is spoiler-free for Winnie and Kallum's story, so you can dive right in. We hope you love it...and we promise no plants were harmed in the making of the greenhouse scene. ;)
xoxo,
Julie + Sierra
After Angel and Luca connected on the set of Duke the Halls and had a whirlwind romance in the literal snow globe of Christmas Notch, Vermont, Luca found himself falling in love. Hard. He'd never been one to believe in fate or true love, but one thing was certain: Angel was his person. He knew it as well as he knew the history of American figure skating. But when Angel left for an art school semester abroad without a word, Luca's already brittle heart was broken. No one ghosted Luca. Unless he was in a haunted house.
But with the spring semester long over, Angel is back home in Los Angeles for the summer, and unfortunately for Luca, this big town is turning out to be smaller than either of them ever expected.
Kallum Liebermanis the funny one™. As the arguably lesser of the three former members of the boy band INK, he enjoyed his fifteen minutes of fame and then moved home where he opened a regional pizza chain called Slice, Slice, Baby! He's living his best dad bod life, hooking up with bridesmaids at all his friends' weddings. But after an old one-off sex tape is leaked and quickly goes viral, Kallum decides he's ready to step into the spotlight again, starring in a sexy Santa biopic for the Hope Channel.
Winnie Baker did everything right. She married her childhood sweetheart, avoided the downfalls of adolescent stardom, and transitioned into a stable adult acting career. Hell, she even waited until marriage to have sex. But after her perfect life falls apart, Winnie is ready to redefine herself—and what better way than a steamier-than-a-steaming-hot-mug-of-cider Christmas movie?
With decade old Hollywood history between them, Winnie and Kallum are both feeling hesitant about their new situation as costars…especially Winnie who can't seem to fake on screen pleasure she's never experienced in real life. She's willing to do the pleasure research—for science and artistic authenticity, of course. And there's no better research partner than her bridesmaid sex tape hall of fame costar, Kallum. But suddenly, Kallum's teenage crush on Winnie is bubbling to the surface and Winnie might be catching feelings herself.
They say opposites attract, but is this holly jolly ever after really ready for its close-up?
From Goodreads:
Greetings, holiday adventurers!
We are so excited to bring you a little spice for your metaphorical hot cocoa, in the form of a honeymoon story for Winnie & Kallum, our horny sweeties from A Holly Jolly Ever After.
It's a tale of true love, of found family, and—well, why not—lactation and pegging.
But! There are many obstacles to our intrepid lovers saying I love you through the power of body-safe silicone.
Phone calls! Texts!
A Jack Russell terrier and a missing diaper bag!
Will true peg prevail? Or will this honeymoon end in tarnished dreams and unused lube?
Read on to find out what happens (and don't worry, there are no spoilers for A Jingle Bell Mingle)!
xoxo,
Julie + Sierra
The Rules:
No roaming off alone.
No secrets.
No bodyguard/client fraternization.
No olives.
This is Krysta Morton's last job. She's done with being a bodyguard and is ready for a real nine to five where work stays at work. But when Addison Hayes's manager offers Krysta a ridiculous amount of money to keep the high-maintenance singer-turned-influencer safe on a cruise, Krysta can't make herself say no. Not when the money means that she'll be able to set her grandma up at the nicest senior living community in town. (It has a brand new pickleball court! And a juice bar!)
Addison Hayes is at the top of her game. After a long and healthy career as a B-list celebrity, she's successfully made the transition to lifestyle brands and her dream of expanding her empire into hotels and cruises is within reach. With her first branded cruise about to disembark, she's in dire need of hired security while she curates the passenger experience and oversees the debut run of The Lion and the Lamb, her first attempt at producing a musical (and her ode to all things Twilight).
With Krysta's no-nonsense attitude, Addison is certain her newly hired bodyguard loathes her. Then a steamy shore excursion reveals that Krysta's icy shell is hiding a simmering hunger. And if this bodyguard isn't careful, she might start breaking her own rules…
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone who gave us A Merry Little Meet Cute comes a new holiday rom-com—'tis the season for second chances!
What happens when there's no room at the inn and you and your potentially demonic cat become roommates with your grumpy one-night stand?
Part-time adult film actress/one-time adult film director/makeup artist Sunny Palmer has accidentally sold her very first screenplay to the Hope Channel. That was six months ago. Fast forward to a looming deadline, an uninspired Sunny has returned to the source of her inspiration in Christmas Notch, Vermont, to immerse herself in the local Christmas miracle on which her fever dream of a movie pitch was based.
Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town's historic mansion. After his years of heartbreak following his young wife's death, Isaac's record label is done waiting for new music. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace?
But after their best friends' wedding leads to them waking up together in a freezing motel room with questionable wiring and a broken shower, Isaac takes a chance and asks Sunny to stay with him at his home. Surely the place is big enough that he'll hardly see her or her unhinged cat. But when the two discover they're both creatively blocked, they make a handshake Isaac will help Sunny hunt down the truth behind the local lore, and Sunny will find Isaac a new muse.
And with these two opposites under one roof, there's no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script…right?
From Goodreads:
This is a very filthy take on some tropes as old as time: enemies to lovers, a one night stand…a boner that just won't quit...and we hope that our messy trio keeps you warm on some chilly winter's night, when you're ready for a dose of undiluted (but still sweetly chaotic) indecency.
