Books
I have a few books I am currently previewing but requested a few more recently. One was the upcoming release, Gallant, from V.E. Schwab who wrote The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I’ve read and liked some of her other work too. Anyway, I have tried to get a review copy from Netgalley and Edelweiss but had no luck. Well I happened on to the UK version of Netgalley and it was available for request and my wish was granted. :) I started reading last night and it’s a pretty fast read and it seems to be a much shorter book than the last one. I believe I will have it completed and reviewed by the 1st when it’s released.
I’m also reading a follow up to a book I read last year called Elena the Brave. It’s a sort of middle-grade adventure/fairy tale sort of thing and that’s due to be finished shortly too. I’m enjoying it but it seems to be a longer read than the previous volume so is taking more time.
I’m currently listening to Where the Crawdads Sing and I am enjoying that a lot. I’ve seen it on bestseller lists but hadn’t paid much attention to it. Then I noticed it was available from the library and snatched it up. There’s a murder mystery involved and it involves an isolated girl who has lived in the marshes of North Carolina all her life. I should say it’s assumed to be a murder but the story is still unfolding.

I read “Where The Crawdads Sing” a couple of years ago, knowing nothing at all about the book other than that it was the #1 most requested book from my local library system for the previous year. I liked it a lot!

That got me curious to look up the lists for 2020 and 2021. I found them, and have read very few. Clearly I have my work cut out for me! :)

Oh weird, my previous comment says that my name is Kendra, and that it is waiting for moderation. I know I would not have entered that as my name!! But that comment, even with the wrong name, seems to have my new image attached. So I think this is an improvement overall. But the alternate name choice is a mystery.

Yes, I did get a request to moderate for “Kendra” . I wonder what happened…anyway, your comment was approved. And congratulations on changing your avatar. :)
