My sudden and urgent need to do all things craft (the Alpine #crossstitch , my pants #sewing project, and the raccoon cross-stitch) has made reading much less of a priority. After reading Becky Chambers' Psalm for the Wild Built and Prayer for the Crown Shy, I was struggling a bit with what to pick up next. I had a nice cozy pallet cleanser so...
Naturally my book selection got as layered as my pile of craft projects. Woops.

I decided I was ready to handle some Grit again, so I went back to my project of re-reading Dresden Files #books and picked up no. 3, Grave Peril.
But then, my hold on Sandry's Book by Tamora Pierce came available. Oops.
I read it as a child and wanted to relive it. This time I struggled with the straight forward/abrupt action that happens in younger YA books. But I can definitely see why I liked it so much as a kid. I will probably try to re-read the rest of the series as I continue my journey

And in my #audiobook rotation, I just finished A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab. I really liked the premise, and I think I liked the characters? Mostly? Sort of? I think I really struggled with the narrator and would possibly have enjoyed the story more in print. I may continue the series in a bit once I sort out what I'm *actually* going to read next.
When this was done, I picked at random Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune and I really want more commuting time so I can keep listening 🤣
