A book with a character who does Pilates - March 31, 2026 - In the sequel, Amber mentions doing Pilates to get back in shape after childbirth. She's just as conniving and diabolical in this story, but it seemed tired and overdone. Some interesting twists but not as captivating as the first book.

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 3/4

Author name "L" - March 30, 2026 - I really enjoy magic based fantasy novels and this one hit all the right notes for me. Humans and monsters living together, magic hiding in plain sight, an impossible heist, and a bit of spiciness. Chef's kiss.

April book club theme: 🤵 Wedding 👰‍♀️

March book club theme - ✨️ new ✨️ - March 26, 2026 - A lot happens in the fourth book of the Stormlight series. Sanderson is a great story teller, but a very long-winded one. I think there could have been a bit more editing of this one without losing any of the plot or character building. That said, it's still an excellent story.

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

A book about new beginnings - March 20, 2026 - This is an easy read. A tale about finding yourself and opening up to new experiences. Perhaps finding some magic and wonder along the way.

A book about a horse or with a horse on the cover - March 15, 2026 - The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series focuses more on Annabeth and her quest to follow the Mark of Athena. My daughter said this is her favourite so far, but Athena is her favourite goddess so of course it is.

A book in a different format than your usual - March 12, 2026 - I don't usually read digital format books, I prefer print editions, but this was the version I had access to. This story is quirky, fast paced, with over-the-top characters and scenarios. It's silly and fun. The last line made me chuckle out loud.

Author name starts with "M" - March 10, 2026 - This compilation of novellas builds the back story of Celaena Sardothien, assassin. It's intriguing enough to make me want to read more.

A book with any type of fruit on the cover or in the title - March 4, 2026 - This book is a mystery/romance. It's quirky and pleasantly entertaining, but easily forgettable.
