Happy Wednesday, book friends! I woke up at 1am with a migraine, so we’re off to a bit of a rocky start today. It’s also snowing here AGAIN, and as much as it’s pretty, I am over it.

It’s been an eventful couple of weeks, but I’ve still managed to keep chugging along with my reading for the year. My Goodreads/Storygraph goal is on track… for now. Let’s dig into the updates for this week!

Recent Reads

I finished Vow of the Shadow King* on Sunday, just in time to get my review ready for the Ace/Berkley re-release yesterday. It felt a little slow compared to book one due to how much setup was happening for the next book, but I still very much enjoyed it. My full review is available here. I’m on deck to review book three as well, so stay tuned!
