Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting/organizing Top Ten Tuesday!

It’s been a minute since I did a Top Ten Tuesday post! But I’m back now with this one, which is all about bookish goals for 2023. I don’t think I actually have ten, so I’m just going to stick with a few here haha. Also, I don’t want to overwhelm myself and try to “force” myself to do too many things. So for that reason as well I’m keeping the goals list short. Okay now let’s get into it!

Thank you so much to TorDotComPub for sending me an ARC for review. This does not affect my thoughts, all thoughts are my own honest opinions.

Before I start this review, I just want to make sure that if you are thinking of reading this you check out the trigger warnings. This book deals with some heavier subject matter than the others in the series. Some triggers include: gaslighting from a parent, grooming, death of a parent (specifically witnessing the death of a parent). Please do look up other ones if you are concerned. But as Seanan says in the forward, “Antsy runs” before anything can happen with her stepfather.

Happy November everyone! November is #SciFiMonth, hosted by Lisa at Dear Geek Place and Imyril at There’s Always Room for One More. This year they are celebrating 10 years!! of hosting SciFiMonth, which is amazing. You can find Imyril’s post with a short introduction and the list of prompts for the month here. And of course please do explore both Lisa and Imyril’s blogs for more SciFiMonth goodness. I’ll try to be doing these prompts both here and on my Bookstagram. The first prompt is: “Set Your Course – SciFi Month TBR.”

I’m a mood reader, so I definitely don’t stick to TBRs. Or even make them haha. My TBR is just an overall general term, not like a monthly thing. So I’ll just talk about a handful books that I own and would like to read sooner rather than later!

Before we get to the review part, here’s something fun. To get in the right mindset of the book, I made a mood board for it! The book is super cute and cozy and witchy and that’s what I tried to convey with this mood board. I loved making it, and I definitely want to make more! Let me know if that’s something you’d like to see.

The two of us are super excited to bring you a cover reveal today for one of our highly anticipated books! The book is The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard. The UK cover has already been revealed, so today we get to show you the US cover!
