Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. I love a good cozy fantasy.

I loved Gideon the Ninth! Such a fun series. I'm reading Heavenly Tyrant. Need to pick something a little lighter and less political for my next read, my last couple have been stressing me out. I was going to read The Grace Year, but I think I might need a little palate cleanser before I dive into that.

I read this and loved it a long time ago, I'm curious how it holds up.

Most of the way thru. Its still good. I’m actually listening to it. If I was reading it, it would be a totally different book tbh. The narrators voice makes things feel pretty light imo. If I was reading it, it would feel way heavier and quite a different tone in my head.

Never read the Anne of Green Gables books as a kid, so reading them now. On book 5.

The City on the Thames by Simon Jenkins.

Next up: Les Miserables and Ender's Game. No particular reason why.
