Waiting on Wednesday #603, November 30th

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

Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire
Expected Publication: January 10th, 2023
From Goodreads:
A young girl discovers an infinite variety of worlds in this standalone tale in the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire, Lost in the Moment and Found.

Welcome to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go.

If you ever lost a sock, you’ll find it here.
If you ever wondered about favorite toy from childhood... it’s probably sitting on a shelf in the back.
And the headphones that you swore that this time you’d keep safe? You guessed it….

Antoinette has lost her father. Metaphorically. He’s not in the shop, and she’ll never see him again. But when Antsy finds herself lost (literally, this time), she finds that however many doors open for her, leaving the Shop for good might not be as simple as it sounds.

And stepping through those doors exacts a price.

Lost in the Moment and Found tells us that childhood and innocence, once lost, can never be found. 

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Expected Publication: January 10th, 2023
From Goodreads:
Alex Stern returns in another tale of murder and dark magic set among the Ivy League elite…

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is determined to break Darlington out of hell—even if it costs her a future at Lethe and at Yale. But Alex is playing with forces far beyond her control, and when faculty members begin to die off, she knows these aren’t just accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if Alex is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls. 

Riven by Mindee Arnett
Expected Publication: January 10th, 2023
From Goodreads:
From acclaimed fantasy author Mindee Arnett comes an epic, adventurous story of a young mercenary magic-user trying to escape the oppressive island of Riven--and a young noblewoman trying to change it forever.

Mars Darksvane wants out. Out from under the thumb of Una, the crime boss who pulled him off the streets as a child and trained him as an assassin; out from the island country of Riven, where magic, in the form of a dangerous material called Ice, allows the rich to live in luxury and keeps the poor in thrall.

Mars is a secret adept--a person born with the ability to channel the magic that flows beneath Riven--and while his power gives him abilities useful to an assassin, it also makes him a target. And when his last mission ends in tragedy, Mars finally decides it's time to escape to the mainland. No magic, no history, a new life on his own.

But Una has other ideas. If Mars wants his freedom, he's going to have to perform a final job: protecting Fura Torvald--the heiress of the rich and powerful Torvald kith, and the daughter of the last man Mars was sent to kill--and stealing from her a mysterious object known only as the Primer.

Mars has no interest in Fura or whatever the Primer is, nor in Riven's corrupt and oppressive politics; he just wants to do his job and get out. But as Mars comes to know more about Fura, the Primer, and the true nature of the power in Riven, he realizes that he will soon have to take a side in a fight he has avoided his entire life.

Which side, however, he does not yet know. 

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Expected Publication: January 10th, 2023
From Goodreads:
A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north to study faerie folklore and discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love, in this heartwarming and enchanting fantasy.

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.

So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.

But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.

Some really great books coming out on the 10th, authors that I really love, and I can't wait for these bookst o be out! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Today's teaser comes from If Only by Jennifer Gilmore, page 1.

"I'm wondering this—sweet bitter—while I'm waiting for Dahlia now at the café. I have no idea."

That doesn't sound good! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!

My reviews to reward is writing all of the reviews of the week, and I motivated myself to write my review for This Cursed Crown, The Poisoner's Ring, The Lake House, The Infinity Courts, The Graces, so I have 5 of 5 reviews written!

What about you guys? Happy reading!

How Well I Stuck to It #436, November 27th

So I decided that I should have accountability on sticking to what should be in a week, so I'm doing How Well I Stuck to It every Sunday, because my schedule should be fixed in by now!

Week 48:
Nothing Planned!

Just a free week to end out the month, I have a bunch of books that I want to fit it, so I'm going to do my best to read all the random books! 


Week 47:
The Lake House by Sarah Beth Durst, The Poisoner's Ring by Kelley Armstrong

vs.

This Cursed Crown by Alexandra Overy, The Poisoner's Ring by Kelley Armstrong, The Lake House by Sarah Beth Durst, The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman, The Graces by Laure Eve

I read what I planned, and a few more, though it was a short week, I'm happy with it! Can't wait for next week! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Wheel of TBR #131, November 27th

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 The Poisoner's Ring by Kelley Armstrong, The Lake House by Sarah Beth Durst, The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, I chose ARC. I read The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman, The Graces by Laure Eve, Being Mary Bennet by J. C. Peterson, so I've read 10/9+.

For this coming month, I chose Yearly Goals.

Prompts Used This Week:
Read a Book while writing a review at the end of each chapter, Narrator As Last Read, Multi-Word Title, Cover Stereotype.

Read a Book while writing a review at the end of each chapter-Blue-Ghosts & Garlands by Kelley Armstrong-This book has 13 chapters, so I'll have to write 13 reviews! 

Narrator As Last Read-Cyan-Poster Girl by Veronica Roth-I last read Being Mary Bennet by J. C. Peterson, which has a female narrator, and this one does, as well! 

Multi-Word Title-Cyan-The Song that Moves the Sun by Anna Bright-That has a number of words in the title, so I'm counting it! 

Bonus Spin for Blue-Cover Stereotype-Green-Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta-This is both illustrated, and strong female lead, which are both listed on where I look for the list of cover stereotypes. 

Colour Totals:
Red: 1
Orange: 3
Yellow: 1
Chartreuse: 2
Green: 1
Spring Green: 0
Cyan: 2
Azure: 1
Blue: 3
Violet: 2
Magenta: 0

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

The Reward Challenge Update #584, November 27th

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 This Cursed Crown which counts 6 times as a 2022 Retelling Reading Challenge Book, Edelweiss Book, End of Series 2022 Book, Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2022 Book and a WoW Book, The Poisoner's Ring which counts 5 times as a Historical Fiction 2022 Book, NetGalley Book, Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2022 Book and a WoW Book, The Lake House which counts 4 times as a Edelweiss Book, SAC 2022 Book and a WoW Book, The Infinity Courts which counts 4 times as a NetGalley Book, Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2022 Book and a WoW Book, The Graces which counts 4 times as a NetGalley Book, Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2022 Book and a WoW Book.

So I have 23 counts which translates to $11.50 this week! I'll use it to buy books!
