That's true! I just finished another book "Such a Fun Age". It was an ok book but I was not really happy with the book jacket description of what it should be not actually coming to fruition until the last few pages of the book. Like don't say a book is about something if that's really not what the book is about until the last chapter.

There is something about this that really makes me irritated. This feels like when a commercial for a movie literally puts the only good parts of the movie in it and then the movie is totally different. Like don't lie to me stupid comerial/book.

Yes, that exactly!

I just finished another book “The Guest List”. It was good but the ending didn’t really wrap things up as much as I would have liked.

Meanwhile my list has not grown at all, but I do have a plan to change things! I'm going to knit a book review scarf, an idea I found on a blog, and keep track of the books I read that way.

Ooh. That sounds interesting! What's that like?

I wish I'd keep track of what I've read... I keep forgetting to.

Speaking of books, though. Two movies are releasing soon of books I seriously love! > w< I'm so excited!! Red, White, and Royal Blue is releasing on Amazon Prime on August 11th. I'm disappointed it isn't in theaters though. And then Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe will release in theaters in September!!!! I loved reading that book oh so long ago!!!

So while i haven't worked on my friend's quilt, or read a quilting book like i wanted to, i also have not read anything this week. I have however updated my kindle unlimited library to reflect the books i plan on reading next. I might not start the next one right away though, since i got a bundle of 10 games that i wanna play first.

Let's see if I can find the link.

I've never read any of those books. Might have to put them on my to be read list, if I can get them from the library.

Ooh! That's pretty cool! What colors were you choosing? o:

Yesss, I recommend everyone read both! * u* Red, White, and Royal Blue is a bestseller so I imagine it's at the library. X3 Aristotle and Dante recently got a sequel (two years ago) and the first got several awards so your library might have both?

Light brown, light blue, blue and red. Basically just using the chunky yarn I had in my stash. It was that or doubling up some other yarn for a very funky scarf lol

Hmm, well I just put a hold on Aristotle and Dante Discover the Universe. I put a hold on the other one, but looks like it's going to be a while before I can get it. All the copies were checked out.

There's this one book I really liked, but didn't write down the title anywhere and I've been trying to figure it out for ages. It had a lady thief acting as bodyguard for another lady in a fantasy setting. And I finally figured out the title! It's The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C.M Waggoner


But if you like retelling or stories related to Arthurian legend, I would recommend The Third Magic by Welwyn Wilton Katz. Though you might have a hard time getting your hands on it.

What interesting colors. I look forward to seeing it. o wo

Awesome! > w< Yeah, that figures.

That sounds like something I'd like! I see my library has it too. * w*

I love Arthurian retellings. I see our library has one copy that's from a school. The story sounds convoluted but really interesting. Hmmmm.

I'll post a picture on the Meme discord when I've made some real progress then. I still haven't added a second color yet. >.<

That second one seems extremely popular.

Convoluted, but very interesting. I keep rereading my copy, and found out later mine has an epilogue later editions don't have, which is a shame because it adds to the story.

Alright!

It is a bestseller.

Can I see pics of your copy? O: Front and back. o uo

@Cora - I wonder if I want to subscribe to audible. I use scribd for eaudiobooks. Audible does seem to be cheaper?

Have you read Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree? I just finished reading it and it was so enjoyable!

Kent: I'll post them on the discord.

I have not, but I have heard of it! One of my coworkers has read it too. I think I'd like it! I've discovered I love cozy fantasies. XD

I'll check it out. o:

Kent: Oh, well maybe Ithanalin's Restoration might be something you'd like too? A wizard's apprentice needs to fix a mix up, and improves her skills along the way.

I just finished book 49 for this year! I was not a fan of that book but I've read some other good ones that I haven't mentioned lately as well so I guess it balances out. On to book number 50!
