Waiting on Wednesday #807, October 28th

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!

The Dragon and the Dove by Catherine Doyle
Expected Publication: November 24th, 2026
From Goodreads:
Sera and Ransom’s fates are decided in this thrilling third and final book in the New York Times bestselling City of Fantome enemies-to-lovers romantasy trilogy perfect for fans of Margaret Rogerson and Caraval .

War has come to the kingdom of Valterre. Led by the self-proclaimed People’s Saint, a gathering faction plans to seize control of the kingdom and the lands beyond. Outwardly united against this common threat, Sera and the newly-Sainted Ransom find themselves divided by their diverging destinies.

The more Saints that Sera creates, the more her life force ebbs away. The people look to her as a leader and a symbol of peace, but is the cost too high? Meanwhile, Ransom’s powerful and terrifying shadow-magic threatens to pull him even deeper into darkness. Perhaps, to save Sera, his true destiny is to become the villain.

The Diviners by Rachel Greenlaw
Expected Publication: November 24th, 2026
From Goodreads:
Dangers and magics new and old build to God-like proportions as Sophia and her allies fight for their lives, and their very world, in this steamy, propulsive follow-up to The Ordeals.

The Great Hunt has begun. Still mourning the loss of her friends and mentors, and adjusting to her awakening powers, Sophia has no time to waste honing her abilities. As the waves of attacks by the Cold Ones continue to escalate, the group is led into dangerous territories and an even more dangerous need for vengeance. But when a loved one is attacked by a Cold One, Sophia and her closest allies must turn their attention to a new critical finding an antidote.

As Sophia and her friends learn more about the origins of the Cold Ones, they also uncover disturbing secrets being kept by the Crown. It’s clear there’s something even bigger at play than they could have ever imagined. As they navigate the maze of who can or cannot be trusted, new and unknown threats ambush them at every turn.

Sophia has always heard the stories of the Old Gods, long since gone from their world. But what if they weren’t truly gone, just simply biding their time? What if the Great Hunt is only the beginning? For the gods are hungry and have a will of their own, and to save the world as they know it, Sophia will have to face their wrath.

Just 2 more books to wrap up November, but I'm looking forward to both of them! What about you guys? Happy reading!

The Reward Challenge Update #788, October 25th

The Reward Challenge is almost the complete opposite to a book buying ban as you'll end up buying lots of new books throughout the challenge but only after you've completed a certain amount of reading. It was hosted by Good Golly Miss Holly, so thanks to her for starting it!

OK, so I read

Wheel of TBR #335, October 25th

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

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, the wheel picked/I chose . I read  , so I've read /9+.

This week I read the past wheel picks of , so I have  past spins left,

Prompts Used This Week:


Colour Totals:
Red:
Orange:
Yellow:
Chartreuse:

So those are some of the books I'm going to try to read this week. What about you guys? Happy reading!
