(It’s March 275th)"},"content":{"rendered":"

The start of the month was all re-reads, but as the political news progressed, so did my ability to read new book.<\/p>\n

\"Spells<\/a>First off, I read and really liked three new(ish) releases!<\/p>\n

Spells for the Dead<\/em><\/a> by Faith Hunter<\/a> is her latest book in the Soulwood series, which runs parallel to the Jane Yellowrock series. The events in Jane’s series have gotten so big there haven’t been any clean conclusions to any of those books in awhile. This series, being more of a procedural, has a completed story arc, although Nell’s personal life is still a bit of a mess. Which is fine.<\/p>\n

Conventionally Yours<\/em><\/a> by Annabeth Albert<\/a> is one I’d put off reading, since I generally dislike enemies to lovers, however, I was told it wasn’t that<\/em> type of enemies to lovers story, so I picked it up, and was glad I did.<\/p>\n

The Deadly Hours<\/em><\/a> is a sequential anthology by Susanna Kearsley, Anna Lee Huber<\/a>, Christine Trent<\/a>, C.S. Harris<\/a>. I’ll be honest, I didn’t like the third story at all, but the rest of the novellas were excellent.<\/p>\n

Valor: Swords<\/em><\/a> edited by Isabelle Melan\u00e7on and Megan Lavey-Heaton is a graphic novel about self-rescuing princesses. It’s folk and fairy tales retold, with LGBT & POC main characters. It’s wonderful.<\/p>\n

Glass Tidings<\/em><\/a> by Amy Jo Cousins<\/a> is a holiday story and it had a bunch of elements I really liked.<\/p>\n

\"Glass<\/a>Plus, of course, I re-read books that I already knew I loved, because the start of the month needed all the comfort.<\/p>\n
