Well, ok, it wasn’t all flowers that kept me from my books, but we’ll focus on the positives here.

However, every book here is a reread, so I think I’ll just leave this as is. I’ve already read some new (to me at least) books for May, so take from April that these are some comfort reads for me.

Fantasy

• Big Bad Wolf Charlie Adhara: The Wolf at Bay (2019) 9.5/10, Thrown to the Wolves (2019) 8.5/10, Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing (2020) 8.5/10, Cry Wolf (2021) 8.5/10 (supernatural, mystery, queer)
• Kilty Pleasures Ella Stainton: Best Laid Plaids (2020) 7/10, Where There’s a Kilt, There’s a Way (2021) 7.5/10 (supernatural, romance, queer)

Mystery

• Lindenshaw Mysteries Charlie Cochrane:  A Carriage of Misjustice (2020)  7/10 (cozy, queer)

Audio

• Blitz, Audio Book (2022) Daniel O’Malley narrated by Moira Quirk (The Rook Files) 9/10 (urban fantasy, mystery)
• An Unexpected Peril, Audio Edition (2021) Deanna Raybourn narrated by Angele Masters 8/10 (historical, mystery)

I wanted to start posting more regular content here, I really did. But that apparently remains a goal rather than an accomplishment.

And that’s ok.

So please enjoy some flower pr0n, taken this year at the Arboreturm, Canaan Valley SP, and Blackwater Falls SP
