Happy What We’re Reading Wednesday, book friends! Here we are at the last Wednesday of March, about to head into April. Soon, I’ll be sitting on our porch swing with a book in hand. 

For now, though, I am still on the couch under the blankets with Azula tucked up next to my legs. Cozy, comfy reading vibes. 

After a bit of a pause last week, I’m back in a steadyish reading groove. Still can’t focus on an audiobook, but that’s okay — I’ll be ready for them when I’m ready for them. Let’s hop into the updates for this week!

Recent Reads

I finished Lina Chern’s Play the Fool. There was a lot to like in this debut mystery, but also a few stumbling blocks. I’ve got a mini review up, if you’re curious to know more.

I had way too much fun posing that book photo, by the way. I adore the bright colorful neon cover design, and knew I just had to fish through several Tarot decks for their versions of the Fool.

Current Reads

I started Rachel Lynn Solomon’s Weather Girl, which has been hanging around on my TBR shelf for ages. I’m really enjoying it so far — it’s one of those books where the writing pulled me in from page one. Plotwise, the momentum is a bit slow, but I can feel something building, so we’ll see how we go.

Still dragging myself through Witches of America in the mornings. The book is definitely different to what I expected, in that it deals with a very specific and secritive sect of witchcraft I hadn’t heard of before reading. Still, I’m curious enough to keep going, even if I don’t always love the tone of the book. I will finish it, if only to see where we wind up, but I did hope for a more comprehensive overview of different traditions in a book with such a broad-sounding title.

Up Next & On to You

I am having so much trouble deciding on my next reads lately. I finish a book and then just sort of stare aimlessly at my TBR, both the physical one and my Kindle shelf. It’s one of those phases where I can’t quite put my finger on what mood I’m in, reading wise. Suffice it to say, I’ve no idea what I’ll wind up picking up next!

What about you, book friends? What have you been reading lately, and how is it treating you?
