I'm still using your template to track my challenge. You inspired me to keep track of my reading. I don't have to but I like to.Btw, is the Zodiac Academy series good?

Yaaay I’m glad you like it! I think it was Brittany’s or Elena’s templates from a few years ago that I’d adapted.
Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of zodiac academy! Also I forgot to remove that part from the 2023 series bit!!
I had to ask because I trust your opinion on books. You're one of the people whose reviews I look for when reading books I might be hesitant to start.
Brilliant! I’ve been very lazy with reviews lately, but honestly zodiac academy was a mess and I wouldn’t bother 😂 I just wanted to see what the hype was about
That is enough for me to keep it off my tbr!
February was a productive month!Books read
Mod
Favourite of the month?
I really liked warm hands of Ghosts and tempest of tea! Champion of fate and tattered huntress didn’t stand out that much for me.
Favourites might have been bride of the wolf and the witch!
Mod
Too bad Champions of Fate wasnt a stand out, I had high hopes for that one.
Nice! Seems like you had some good ones
How was The Improbable Meet-Cute series? It seems like everybody's either reading it or adding it to their tbr.I love cozy mysteries, but I found myself disappointed in Murder and Mamon. What did you think?
Honestly the improbably meet-cute were a bit hit and miss but they're very short! The Christina Lauren one was my favourite of the lot I was also a bit disappointed in Murder and Mamon but somehow I keep reading the series !
May round-up: 
Mod
How are the Thomas Cromwell books? The Tessonja Odette books have pretty covers how are they?
Thank you! Yes it was a lot of short booksI quite liked the Thomad Cromwell books - they were interesting but definitely needed to be audio for me!
The Tessonja Odette ones were middle of the road - not great not bad.
My favourite was A House With Good Bones, and my least favourite was the Stars and shadow series!
Mod
I can see the need for audio with the Cromwell books, think I may try to start them.
The Thomas Cromwell ones took me ages to get through as well - I’d listen when I was in the mood but switch to other stuff whennk wasn’t!
Mod
Beach read was a reread but still loved it! Not in my book was an ARC but I actually really enjoyed it!
Other than that quicksilver was pretty good!
Mod
What did you think of God and the Gumiho?
It was entertaining but it wasn’t a favourite!
Mod
Did you like The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina? I loved it, but I've seen mixed reviews overall.
I quite enjoyed it! I thought the storytelling was beautiful!
What was your favorite romance of July?
It was a reread but Beach Read is still up there! Technically romantasy not romance romance but I also quite liked Quicksilver.
Seeing so many good comments about Beach Read I'm thinking of re-reading it. First time I've read a book, I didn't like at all. Maybe the second time it'll click? :D
I don’t know - if you didn’t like it the first time maybe it just wasn’t your cup of tea!
How did you find Children of Anguish and Anarchy? I'm on the fence about whether to read it because I was not a big fan of the second book and it's been SO LONG now that I've forgotten most of what happened.
Honestly it was quite disappointing for a finale!
Mod
How was The Grandest Game?
I really liked A Master of Djinn! The Grandest Game didn’t have the spark of the original trilogy somehow
Mod
Nice to hear about Master of Djinn
How was The Truth According to Ember?
I enjoyed it but somehow the actual development of the relationship could have used a bit more work!
So many interesting books. What is your favorite and what do you think of Hera, The Third Gilmore Girl, A Sorceress Comes to Call, The Pumpkin Spice Café, The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore?
Mod
How'd you like the falling for fables series? Ive heard good things about it
Mod
Mod
Great update, so many pretty books. Best of the month?
