Ok, well, I've apparently been pronouncing this character's name wrong in my head for OVER 20 YEARS!!!!! I don't know if I can change it now. I think it's too late for me. The pronunciation guide says it's 'Mur-tag'?!?!?!?! ๐ค

Ok, ok, now we're talking! I've finally started Murtagh! I'm so excited for this read. It feels great to be back in Alagaรซsia ๐

I didn't like any of the characters, so I had no one to root for.
There were hints that the world was very interesting with cool draconic creatures, but we barely met any.
There were sentient dragons!...but we only got a handful of scenes with one.
There were no big twists or unexpected events.

Cover of The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
I managed to finally finish The Priory of the Orange Tree last night. Oooph, that was a tedious read! I love her Bone Season series so much, so I was expecting to love this, but it really didn't do it for me...

Capybara pepparkakor experiments. I was very excited when I got this biscuit cutter for Christmas :)

Just finished book 2 of the Bobiverse and I've been getting festive with some paper folding ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ
This installment started a bit slow for me and I was worried that I wasn't going to enjoy it as much as book 1 but it definitely picked up a few chapters in. I've added book 3 to my TBR!

This one was fun! T. Kingfisher has quickly become one of my faves.

The covers for Lois Lowry's The Giver Quartet - The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son.
After 10 (I think) years of teaching The Giver, I decided to finally read the other books in the quartet. I quite liked Gathering Blue and most of Messenger, but the last 2/3 of Son?!?!? What??? ๐ค
