Rotation Update and Fantasy Roll

 I've once again read through my entire rotation. Here are my categories as they stand now:

  • Fantasy: The Courting of Bristol Keats by Mary E. Pearson (100%)
  • Sci-Fi: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (62%)
  • Realistic Fiction: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman (100%)
  • Young Readers: Old Yeller by Fred Gipson (21%)
  • Brandon Sanderson: The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England (61%)
  • Nonfiction: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt (48%)
  • Classic: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo (4%)
  • Mystery/Thriller: The Brothers Hawthorne by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (12%)
  • Historical Fiction: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (70%)
  • Audio: Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake (37%)
I need to roll for fantasy and realistic fiction.

For realistic fiction, I'm going to be reading Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch for book club. It happened to slot right into my realistic fiction spot. I'll probably try to read that whole thing next before going back to rotating, just because I'm on a timeline.

So that leaves fantasy:


I rolled 21 which is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. So that's going in the rotation.

2022 Reading in Review

 I thought it might be fun to look at my reading challenge from last year and look at what I enjoyed the most. I picked my top 5 favorite books from 2022 to highlight one more time. Choosing only five was actually more difficult than I imagined, since I had a lot of favorites. It was also hard to rank them if I'm completely honest, but here is my list! #5 - The Girl Who Drank the Moon  by Kelly Barnhill I loved this book. I loved the whimsical storytelling style and the plot. I loved the characters and how they were developed. I loved how the author carefully crafted the foreshadowing and how she carefully guided you through the mystery of Xan's memories. Overall, this book was so well written. Even though it was a middle grade book, I found myself unable to put it down. #4 - I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys If you've followed my blog, then you probably know that I don't usually care much for Ruta Septys's writing. It's not that I dislike the stories she tells,...

Prince Harry: Spare

 My coworkers were all reading this, and I have to say that I'm fascinated by the royal family, so I gave into temptation and listened to this on Audible. Listening to the audio book was totally the way to go, since Prince Harry reads it himself. Spare  by Prince Harry is a heartbreaking memoir outlining Harry's treatment by the British tabloids. He outlines his experiences with the tabloids from the time his mother died until his departure from the royal family. This fascinating memoir gives an inside look into the workings of the royal family, and their relationships with the press. The memoir certainly makes it look as if all is not well in the house of Windsor, and attempts to set the record straight (from Harry's perspective) of what happened among the family members. Overall, I did enjoy this book. I loved the way Harry writes (and because I listened to it, the way he reads). I found his descriptions of events and places beautiful, and wish I could use it in AP! His p...

T. J. Klune: The House in the Cerulean Sea

I was finally able to finish a book! Things with the baby got crazy and I wasn't able to finish this before he came, but I've finally settled in and have gotten back to reading. It will take me a little while to finish another book. Next on my list is Ruta Septys' new book I Will Betray You . The House in the Cerulean Sea  by T.J. Klune felt distinctly Harry Potter -esque. Linus Baker is a case worker for DICOMY - the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He visits orphanages and seeks to help the kids he observes with the utmost objectivity, never getting attached nor revisiting the cases to see what ultimately happens to the children. He leads a dull and dreary existence with his small house, his monogrammed pajamas, obnoxious neighbor, and unusual cat, Calliope. That all changes when he is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and sent on a secret assignment to the most unusual orphanage Linus has ever seen. There, he meets the most unusual children, and possibly the m...
