A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen

I’ve had this book for quite awhile and now I’m finally reading it. It’s the AFB Book Club pick for March, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a try. So far, I’m having a great time with this Norse inspired fantasy. The insta-lust is a tad funny, but I’m loving our female main character. Especially after a certain event in the first few chapters that had me cheering… iykyk.

    • In the Woods by Tana French: This book has been on my TBR for ages because my best friend used to love this series. I say “used to” because I asked her recently if she was still following the Dublin Murder Squad and she was less than enthusiastic, haha. Having started this book, I think I know why… If any of you have read this book before, can you let me know if the main character is meant to be so insufferable?! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rolled my eyes at some throwaway comment he says or, especially, at his apparent intense dislike of all women. Except for his partner, Cassie, of course because “sHE’s NoT liKE otHeR giRls” 🙄 I currently have the audiobook on 1.5x speed because I really don’t want to spend more time with this man and his obnoxious POV. I suppose I could just DNF… but it’s part of my Trope-ical Readathon TBR! Sigh…
    • You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego: I quite literally just started this today and have barely read three pages, so I really can’t give you my feelings on this one. I will say I love that there’s a map in the beginning that looks like the Clue boardgame! And it seems like we’re going to get a bit of a book inside a book throughout this story and that’s a trope that I enjoy. What I’m saying is we’re starting off strong solely based on superficial aspects!

    • A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett: I’m so happy to be back in the world of the Shadow of the Leviathan series! I’ve missed Din and Ana! This is the sequel to my favorite read of 2024, The Tainted Cup, and, so far, I’m having a good time. It feels easy to settle back into this world and I’m enjoying the fact that we’re getting more worldbuilding as the scene is being set. And I’m a sucker for a locked room mystery, so the shenanigans happening in this book is right up my alley! I’m trying to get my e-ARC read and reviewed before this releases on April 1st, so let’s hope this continues to be great.
    • The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods: I picked this up at the library simply because I liked the cover, lol. Having finally started reading it, I’m glad the cover caught my eye! This follows three people who are all in someway attached to a bookshop that mysteriously vanished. I love that there’s just a dash of magic in what would otherwise be a fairly mundane tale. Don’t love some of the relationships going on in here, but trying to look past that and focus on the story. We’ll see how I feel by the end 😅

    • The Bones Beneath My Skin by T.J. Klune: Y’all, I went into this book already being a pretty big lover of T.J. Klune’s novels. I mean, that was the entire reason I picked this book as my February Book of the Month pick! I didn’t even know what the book was about before I cracked it open, haha. Well, I picked this up on Monday and I almost finished that day. I probably would have if I didn’t have errands I needed to run and those would have been abandoned if I could have! That’s how much I am loving this book! It’s getting finished today, I can promise you that, and I already know it’s going to be 5 stars. It’s follows a man who goes to a cabin in the woods to pick up the pieces of his recently shattered life and encounters a couple of squatters instead. It doesn’t sound like something that would be both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and yet here we are 😭
    • Buddy the Knight and the Queen of Sorrow by Peter David: I’m reading this book for a tour hosted by The Write Reads. It’s a cute middle grade tale that I’ve just started, so I can’t really give you my feelings on it just yet. I am having a good time! I do love a story about toys that are alive because that was a particularly favorite fantasy when I was a kid. I’m hoping I end up loving this one!

    • Reforged by Seth Haddon: I’ve been eyeing this book for awhile. Honestly, ever since I saw the cover, I knew I wanted to read it (total cover read, lol). It’s a royalty/bodyguard romance which is a trope I’m learning I quite enjoy. But this goes beyond just the romance. There’s quite a bit of political intrigue going on in the background, as well. I’m loving it so far! I’m listening to the audiobook and the narrator, Gary Furlong, is knocking it out of the park. This may not been on my mental TBR for the month, but I’m so glad I picked it up!
    • Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson: I’m reading this for the Weirdo Book Club as this is the pick for February. I’ve heard so many great things about this novel and, so far, it has not disappointed! The writing is engaging and quite evocative, painting a vivid picture in my mind of this story. I’m also enjoying the quiet dread that has been peppered throughout the early chapters. This is a short one and sounds like it’s gonna get wild, so it’s interesting to see the foreshadowing slipping in between the main character’s bi-awakening.

    Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

    Unlike my last update involving this book, I’m not longer barely into it and I have thoughts! I think I may be enjoying the second installment in The Shepard King duology and I think I may love it more than I did One Dark Window. I’m only 50 or so pages away from the end and, as long as the conclusion isn’t complete trash, this is going to be a 4.5 star read at the very least. I was almost late coming back from lunch today because I did not want to stop reading!

    Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

    I quite literally just picked up this book because I just finished my last physical read! That means I don’t have much to share about my feelings for the sequel to One Dark Window other than I’m happy to be back in this world. There’s something about the winter time that lends itself to a nice, gothic atmosphere and this book certainly has that in spades. I’m hoping to love it as much as I did the first book. Fingers crossed for me!

    Babylonia by Costanza Casati

    I’m a slow reader, y’all, so I’m still making my way through this one. The start, though it definitely has exciting parts, is a bit slow, but I think it works with the kind of story that is being told. We’re really focusing in on two people, Semiramis and Ninus, and how they view the world and navigate through it. So far, it’s fascinating and, now that I’m deeper into the novel, it’s starting to get beautifully politically twisty, too. One of my favorite things!

    • Babylonia by Costanza Casati: I just started this historical fiction novel, but I can already tell I’m going to enjoy it. It starts with our main character grifting a man out of some gold in exchange for her helping to save his life. Get that coin, girl! I’m loving the writing style, the setting, and the interesting characters. I’m excited to keep reading! It seems like it’s going to bloody and political and right up my alley.
    • One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig: I’m re-reading this fantasy novel as a part of another Fable book club. I had forgotten how much I loved this story! The atmosphere, the characters, the hint of romance… it’s really scratching a lot of my itches. The audiobook is pretty great, as well, so I’m glad I decided to go that route with my re-read. I see myself reading the sequel in the very near future.

    • No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall: We’re beginning 2025 with some dark reads, y’all. I got this book from Book of the Month in December… of 2023, heh. One of my goals this year is to try and read down my BotM backlog so it seemed appropriate to kick my reading year off with one! I know nothing about this book because I like to go into mystery/thrillers that way. But I’ve read the first few chapters and, yup, this is gonna be dark. There’s already been blood and bodies! I’m loving the writing, so I’m excited to continue with this one.
    • The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown: To get myself back into the reading groove, I’ve joined a couple of book clubs over on Fable. Also, I have a Fable account now, I guess, haha. I keep taste-testing all these reading trackers (my poor, neglected Storygraph…) because there has to be something better than Goodreads, right? Anyways, one of the book clubs I joined is called the Weirdo Book Club and this book is the pick for January. Didn’t think I’d start off the year reading a non-fiction but the fact that it’s about the Donner Party feels very me. Hmm… that’s a worrying statement 😂 So far, I’m loving the writing because it doesn’t read like a textbook.
