I am excited about Castle of Tangled Magic and Skyward. I will also try to get to Hind's Feet in High Places - I don't even want to think about how long that one has been on my TBR! I am never free on the last Wednesday of the month so will miss that one but I will try to hit some of the other discussions and sprints.

I'm starting with Burgers & Dogs for the Ketchupathon - a historical fiction, Jane Austen's First Love by Syrie James. It also works great for my first draw for the Deck of TBR-athon, which I also decided to do at the last minute. AND it works great for Chantel's Read Your Shelf challenge, which is supposed to be a house on the cover for the August prompt. So I'm knocking out all sorts of prompts in all sorts of challenges with just the one book. It's a good way to start the reading month!

I'm currently reading The House Across The Street by Lesley Pearse, The Italian Daughter by Soraya Lane on my Kindle and listening to Uninvited by Lysa Terkurst on Libby so for August 3 is enough for me. I read 4 books in July so don't like to push myself too much with reads. We are in the last month of winter here in New Zealand I am looking forward to our spring time it's my favourite season. I have the mystery guest still to read. I started Divine Rivals then life got busy and I didn't read any more I'm going to try again though maybe it wasn't the right time to read it. I was like that with another book that came back to and read later. I have the sequel also. Happy reading 📚 😊

@@BooksAndJams I did! They were very atmospheric; Scottish clan type setting. Some fantasy elements. It is like Divine Rivals in that in sort of ends on a cliffhanger and you'll need to pick up the sequel soon after. You basically follow the perspective of two couples (4 characters). The growth in Torin and Sidra's characters were my favorite.
