WednesdayBookClub 5/15/24: Editing Mode

 Hello, all and welcome to another WednesdayBookClub! I hope everyone is having a good week despite *Handwaves* and the weather! It's getting hot but it's still raining buckets just to remind everyone that it's still spring.

Welp, let's talk books!

I ain't read nothing. I've been editing the podcast episode on While You Were Sleeping (HALFWAY DONE!) and later this week, I gotta edit the transcript for the Black Annabeth episode (Technically, it's about the show but c'mon. It's about Annabeth) so I'm gonna try to focus up and actively snatch up time to ready.

What about you all? Anything good?

WednesdayBookClub:Out Pokemon Hunting

Hello and welcome to WednesdayBookClub!! I hope everyone's had a calm week this past week. I had a rough mental health day yesterday so I'm about to go Pokemon hunting (And I guess go outside for a stupid mental health walk). 

Let's get started!!

So this week, the books I put on hold seem to be coming in so now I got Pride and Premeditation (Contemporary P&P murder mystery) because my brain is fixated on Jane Austen and murder, it seems. I also got Mr. Malcolm's List. Looking forward to those.

What about you all? Anything good? And did you pick up anything from Free Comic Book Day?

WednesdayBookClub: Free Comic Book Day Is Coming!

Hello and welcome to book club, everyone! Just a friendly reminder that this upcoming Saturday is Free Comic Book Day in the US. Once again, if possible, be sure to support your local shops. Buy something, give them a follow on social media, give them a shout out, etc!

Now that I've plugged that, on to book club!!

WednesdayBookClub: Indie Bookstore Day Approaches!

Another week, another book club, everyone! Just a friendly reminder that this Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day in the US so if you can, go support your local indie bookstore. Go buy something, shout them out on social media, tell people that your area has a local indie and how important they are!

So with that said, let's talk about books

WednesdayBookClub: 04/17/24 WE BOOK BLITZING, BABY

Welcome to another WednesdayBookClub, everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week, despite everything. I got stung by a wasp Monday and I'd like to announce that I will no longer be going outside until fall comes back. This has never been my season and I hoped to push this respite until May but alas, nature be wildin'.

Let's talk books, shall we?

So this week, I finally DNF'd and wrote my review for Twelfth Night. Review is here but TLDR, didn't think I was enjoying the being in our MC's brains but I'm glad this book exists. 

So once I had that out of the way, I felt really restless so I grabbed some books from the library and requested two from NetGalley. So I have in my possessions

Audiobooks:

• The Murder of Mr. Wickham (Austen characters in a murder mystery with Darcy's oldest son and Catherine Tilney's daughter solving the crime)
• When No One Is Watching (Rear Window but with gentrification)
• In Which Matilda Halifax Learns the Value of Restraint (Regency Romance

And Ebooks

• My Kind of Trouble by L.E. Schwartz (ARC, comtemptorary romance)
• The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing (MG Mystery)

And that's it for me. What about you all?

GJ Reviews: "Twelfth Night" By Alexene Farol Follmuth

Thank you to Tor Publishing and NetGalley for sending me an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I'm a sucker for Shakespeare retellings in general but especially Twelfth Night. The 1996 adaption (With Tobey Stephens doing the absolute most) was my introduction to The Bard and I've been hooked ever since. I also love a prickly heroine so this felt like it was meant for me.

WednesdayBookClub: An Audiobook Club

Hello, everyone and welcome to another book club! First off I want to remind everyone that in the US, Indie Book Store Day is April 27 and Free Comic Book Day is May 4. I hope all of you will spend the day support your local bookstores, either by spending money there or just hyping them up on social media to let people know they exist!

Now that we have that PSA out of the way, onwards to our regularly scheduled book club
