Hi there darlings,
I’m so relieved that it’s lastly September. I’m not longing for chilly climate, but it surely’s been an exceptionally scorching summer time within the DC space and it’s such a reduction to step exterior and really feel cool breezes as an alternative of a wall of soul-crushing humidity that makes me really feel like I’m inside a scorching moist sponge.
This time of 12 months all the time feels stuffed with risk to me – I don’t know if that’s a holdover from so a few years of September first days of college as a baby or as a result of it’s all of a sudden bearable to be exterior, however I discover it invigorating.
Wishing you a stunning starting of Autumn!
xoxo,

What I’m studying
A Lethal Schooling by Naomi Novik: Bookshop.org | Amazon
That is the primary ebook in a new-to-me sequence and I’m HOOKED. I’ve loved Novik’s work prior to now (particularly Uprooted) however A Lethal Schooling had me hooked from the primary sentence. (“I made a decision that Orion wanted to die after the second time he saved my life.”)
A Lethal Schooling is ready in a magical boarding faculty, but it surely’s no Hogwarts. The self-running magical faculty has no academics and a very excessive loss of life price. College students study to grasp their powers and defends themselves from mals – evil creatures which can be drawn to magic – or they die.
The principle character, El, is an outsider with no highly effective alliances to depend on in a world the place who you understand is every thing. On prime of that, her affinity for terribly damaging magic makes her highly effective, however she must exhibit that in simply the precise manner in order that she’ll have alternatives after commencement with out making everybody suppose she’s really evil.
A lot darker and sharper than most magical boarding faculty tales, the writing is sensible and the story is completely enthralling. I’m on three separate library maintain lists for the second ebook, so let’s hope it is available in rapidly as a result of I need extra!
Vera Wong’s Information to Snooping [On a Dead Man] by Jesse Q. Sutanto: Bookshop.org | Amazon
That is the sequel to Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Recommendation for Murderers, which I learn and adored just a few years in the past.
I’m delighted to report that the second ebook within the sequence can also be glorious: Vera is an newbie non-public detective, tea-shop proprietor, honorary grandmother, and charmingly nosy neighbor who has managed to wiggle her manner into one other homicide case by asking questions, feeding the suspects home-cooked meals, a little bit of snooping, and easily refusing to take no for a solution.
This cozy thriller sequence has sturdy themes of discovered household, discovering function as an older grownup, and the significance of being a part of a neighborhood.
This second ebook within the sequence has some darker components that come to mild as a part of the thriller. TW for human trafficking and baby abuse, principally off-page.
