This week, I tried to get into All For One but got about 10% in & couldn't quite get into it. Which is totally on me. It's just one of those "Not the right book for me but I'm thankful it's here" book. I'm actually tempted to try it again later when I'm in a different mood 2/

It's pretty good! Curious if it'll stay this light & fun or get more complex but either one is cool

Also, we've hit the halfway point of the year so what have been your favorite reads for 2022 thus far? I've read some pretty good stuff this year so it might be a hard call. 4/

But time for books! This week, I went off script and read Spinster Sister by Marion Elise, which is about a group of women who have fallen on hard times (A widow, unexpected family death, etc) and need money so they decide to become highwaywomen to make ends meet. 2/

I also loved how Seb has his brother & BFF to take him to task when he's being a butthead. OH, and two characters are Black! Seb's friend & one of the Highwaywomen are biracial, which adds to the discussion of the privilege of rich, white men vs everyone else 4/

I haven't gotten further in my other books but after I send some emails, I'm logging offline & focusing on reading. Last week was rougher than usual so my focus was out of wack.

Bailey also has some writing quirks that I'm not a fan of & while I love the couple the sequel focuses on, I feel like if she had issues nailing the voice of a Millenial/23 YO, I don't have much hopes for her getting two Latine characters right. Even if I'm not Latine myself 2/

Her coach is the co-owner of the app. Neither of them knows who the other one is so TENSION. Well, tension-ish. This is on the fluffier side for me.

A thing I loved about the book is how surprisingly honest our leads were. Crispin was a scoundrel but hardly a liar & Jane, despite everything, tries to be honest with him. About 40% in, she confesses that it was a marriage of convenience & gradually tells even more 2/

By that, it allows him the chance to figure out who he was himself but still stops more misunderstandings. Seriously, I highly recommend this book, it was a blast.

As for other books, I'm still stalled in Fix Her Up & just picked up Fastest Way To Fall by Denise Williams 4/

2/ point where I stop writing and then just lay in bed & zone out, wonder about what's led me to this moment. All of that fun stuff.

I should be finished by Saturday at the latest so the binge-reading will be happening next week.

Trying to get back to old routines now.

I picked up Tristan Strong Keeps Punching and Chloe Liese's Always Only You from the bookstore on my trip so I'll be getting into those this week.

Also, NaNo is next week so I have to finish my prep for that. I'M NOT FREAKING OUT! 2/

Additionally, I have a big deadline coming up next week so I'm rushing to get that done before NaNo gets here.

I DNF'd a book for being pretty conflict (Internal or external) free at around 15% and I picked up from my bookstore

Apparently, I was half right. Lord Holt IS the book with that description that I was looking for BUT the book I was actually looking for was this! https://t.co/Aw3I0KR4zW

I felt like there was a disconnect from the first 5 issues to the last 3 but it was fine cuz MURDER ON A YACHT!

I'm currently reading the Black Bolt solo series and holy crud, I actually care about an Inhuman character! One that's not Moon Girl, Ms Marvel, Reader or Lockjaw! 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) October 13, 2021

I initially reading only the first vol but decided to keep going. I'm in Issue 7/12.

I'm also reading Fraction's FF and small rant but why is Issue 3-6 listed as Vol 1? STOP DOING THIS WEIRD LISTING, COMICS!! I'm a newb!

Like, B&N and The Other Guy are both out.

Bonus reminder that gift cards are lovely gifts & chances are that your local indie store likely has a partnership with Kobo so you can buy ebooks while supporting them!

Now that we have those PSAs out of the way, let's do book club

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) October 6, 2021

I don't know much about Bobbi other than she's Hawkeye's ex-wife (Knowing the hot mess Clint is, I don't blame her) & people forget that she's a doctor. This was a fun introduction to her and just a good jumping point into comics in general.

I'm gonna try the Black Bolt solo

6/5 Oh and yes, I've been bad and added more books to my TBR but it's never going above 400 again. I'm going through my bookmarks for all of the book recs I hid there and deciding what's going on the TBR.

Because I have self-control but not THAT much self-control, ya know?

WBC on Twitter: 09/29/21

Especially since I have a bunch of books in my bookmarks that I wanted to look into. I know I have an addictive personality, let's not lie, lmbo. So right now the goal is to not go over 400.

Last week, I finished Winterbourne Home for Mayhem and Mystery and loved it. 2/

I read it & worried if the writer didn't seed it properly but I thought back throughout the book and did the proper "Oh, THAT's why they did X!". It wasn't a great read for me but I'll definitely be checking out more from the series.

I'm also halfway down with Ally Carter's

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) September 22, 2021

Winterbourne Home for Murder and Mayhem and loving it. Carter has a gift for tension and lighthearted humor so I'm having fun with that. I'm saddened that she's not writing more but I'm glad I have what I have.

Once I'm done with that, I'll try to finish another book before 3/

Has decided to help out her ex-BF (The one she dumped for Milo, oops). It seems his baby sister is engaged to a playboy & asked Amory to talk to her.

Unfortunately, the guy ends up dead & it looks like the ex-BF did it.

So thoughts: I love Milo, the playboy husband! 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) September 15, 2021

I'm very curious about what he's been up to and how him and Amory patch up their marriage.....Oh, yeah and solve the murder, I guess. I'm 30% in.

I've also realized when I read murder mysteries, I just expect the dead body to show up by page 5. I don't know why. 4/

Haven't made it further in A Blade So Black but I'm putting today aside for reading.

I've been burnt by books like that before & I'm 15% in. Evil has been confronted but not fought. I'm sorry but nope.

Still, I'm writing a "Diverse young girls fight evil" story this year for NaNo so I have some ideas of what I want to do

Oh, I'm also reading A Blade So Black 4/

By LL McKinney. I'm having issues getting into it but that's because my head has been super staticky this week. I can't explain it any other way. I kinda had a panic about it but I've also not slept in a month so GRAINS OF SALT!

I also DNF'd a book which I won't name because it feels a little impolite. That being said, I realize that I'm having a rough time with cozy mysteries lately. I've DNF'd the last 3 I've tried within 10 pages. I think because they're more personality driven 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) September 1, 2021

The book I grabbed was in the upper 200s (Yes, I looked) & admittedly, my book reading habit is different now. I don't have to settle for meh books (Especially white-led meh books). I still struggle with reading Black led book (A lot of them have too much Trauma for me) but !4/

Search and Destroy mode for dopamine these past 2 weeks. I can't seem to make anything & when I read, it's like I'm just skimming the pages. It's um, not cool!

I have done some writing so I'm hoping that leads somewhere and I'm trying to spend less time on the internet 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) August 25, 2021

Oh! This has nothing to do with book club but I had a dream yesterday morning that two people were talking about a third friend. Convo

Person 1: Yeah, she's been acting weird lately. She might be possessed
Person 2: ...No, she's pregnant
1: Yeah, that's the same thing.

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) August 25, 2021

A possible conflict popped up & I got struck with all of these emotions. IT WAS A KIDS BOOK, Y'ALL

I've been putting off calling a shrink (I KNOW!) & while I've dealt with some of the generational trauma that comes with being a Black woman, I guess there's some other stuff 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) August 11, 2021

That I need to address. So I gotta make my list of Crap To Talk To A Doctor About this week.

So yeah, after that I've retreated back to romance and Murder mysteries because that seemed way easier than the kids book that punched me in the feels.

So what about you all? 3/4

So I haven't DNFd the Art of Theft but I'm definitely putting it aside for now. I'm not sure if it's this is just a rougher book or my mindset but it's kinda making reading a chore. I'll come back to it later

In related news, me & my sister have been discussing romance tropes 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) August 4, 2021

I'm not going into details here but it's basically "Why wouldn't you want someone who really knew you? It's sweet!" Vs "Not compelling enough. If you wanna smooch my face, tell me, YOU COWARD!".

Just curious about how you all might feel about this so poll time!! 4/

Which isn't a bad thing but it makes the "ah-ha!" moments feel a little less organic than they were before (especially the one at the end). Also, the writer and I seem to have different feelings about romantic leads, causing those parts of the book to be even sloggier for me.

I'm staying on my murder mystery kick though. I'm plotting out a bunch of story ideas next month and one is a mystery so I need to get inspired/ideas.

And about 40% into Box in the Woods. Both books are due back to Overdrive so I'm debating picking them up physically at the library or again in Ebooks.

I am planning a big trip to the libarary because I'm done with my big projects so TIME TO START 50 DIFFERENT THINGS!! 2/

— WednesdayBookClub (@NinersBookClub) July 14, 2021

I also picked up the Thin Man and Murder on the Brightwell because @ShelleyElwood has put me in a mystery mindset. Only a few pages into Thin Man and wondering if I should experience this as an audiobook. The writing style is different so it's kinda jarring.
