This sounds good, adding the series to my TBR.
I also have trouble with unusual names in fantasy/sci-fi. Especially if the spellings are similar to other characters. It gets very frustrating and disheartening when it’s a book you know you could enjoy if the names were easier to keep track of.

Glad to hear you are recovering. Several people I know have the lingering cough. Think positive and take the time to enjoy a good book (or 4) and a hot cup of tea/coffee, both can work wonders on your time recovery.

Finished The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen. Overall enjoyed this look at a lost love and life choices.

I hate when that happens. Hope the next read is better.

Finished my 3 romance “pink” books

🎉Congratulations Veronica🎉

Shit Cassandra Saw by Gwen E. Kirby was a happy accident I found at the library.

An amazing creative and experimental collection of short stories. 💖💖💖💖💖 I can not pick a favorite. Funny, at times raunchy, amazing characters. The book title comes from the first story entitled Sh#t Cassandra Saw That She Did’t Tell The Trojans Because At That Point F##k Them Anyway After that it is a fantastical rollercoaster ride of stories.

Thanks Bill, trying to knock out my challenges before I lose momentum.

Finished my third pick . 5 /5 I like medieval stories and this was mostly historically accurate (author actually explains at the end what she changed) with interesting character arcs and a decent mystery. Definitely reading more of the series.

Really enjoyed my second pick, . Kisha Lewellyn Schlegel’s essays kept me wondering how she was going to connect her fears to different cultural icons. My thanks to the person who placed this in the neighborhood tiny library!

So happy I found Fear Icons: Essays by Kisha Lewellyn Schlegel in the little book library in the neighborhood park a few weeks ago.

Great writing where she contemplates her her fears while associating them with everything from guns to Dolly Parton. I was never sure where she was going but I definitely enjoyed each essay.

I get frustrated trying to hold some of those thick paperbacks.
Looks like a nice mix of books this month, enjoy!

Yippee finished box #4 maybe I will complete this challenge!

The Smithfield Market Romances: A Sweet Regency Romance Boxset This collection of Regency Romances was just a mediocre read to me. Four sweet romances about 4 orphans. 💖💖💖

Jennifer wrote: "Glad you liked it -- this was your PIFM pick that "accidentally" also fulfilled the color challenge, wasn't it? So a good twofer!"

Yep. All the credit goes to Desley for picking my books!

Finished my first pick great classic science fiction.

Bill wrote: "Insomnia has its hidden benefits I guess. I hope you have a great sleeping and reading month in February."

Thank you both. Hopefully it will be a great reading and sleeping month for us all.

And I finished one more last night Half of a Yellow Sun. My first in my 12 & 4 challenge."

Looks like you had a great January. I put Half of a Yellow Sunand Purple Hibiscus on my TBR after reading Americanah but have not gotten to either.
