A Heat Wave Book Club: 06/26/24

*Sit directly in front of a fan* Hello, gang. Welcome to another book club. Here in the states and the UK, we're going through a bit of a heat wave. We hit 110F (About 43C) here in my neck of the woods and um, no. I don't want it. I'm seeking solace in the fact that we just had the Solistice so I'm closer to my beloved colder temps.




Anyway, don't mind the puddle of sweat and lets move onto book club

WednesdayBookClub: Still Recovering

 Hello, all and welcome to this week's book club! I hope everyone is having a good week!




Ummm.....I don't have much of a preamble ATM cuz I just remembered to write this just before going to bed so LET'S DO BOOK CLUB!!


So this week, I haven't read much. My anxiety for some reason is completely out of whack and I'm just an anxious hamster pretending to be a person. (Probably because of my yearly checkup is Thursday). I am gonna try to read Wednesday because I need these books read and I need to do some self care.


Speaking of reading, Twelfth Knight just came out this week. Here's my review right here if anyone is curious on my thoughts on it.


Anyway, what about you all? Anything good?

WednesdayBookClub: Recovery Book Club 06/12/24

 Hello all and welcome back to our usual WednesdayBookClub! So last week, I had to take off because I had to go to Urgent Care for my ear. It seems like my pervious sinus infection thingy hadn't completely gone away and I had an ear infection. A gnarly one if the horrified look my PCP gave me is an indicator. My ear isn't completely 100% but it's loads better than what it was last week




Thanks to Mythbri and Nemesis_Goldenhair for taking over for me on both Twitter and Blusky. I wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Now, that we're done with that, BOOK CLUB!!


So this week, I'm reading My Kind of Trouble by L.A. Schwartz and yall, this book was made for me. A plus sized grifter trying to get pay back from a Big Bad and her first mark is an awkward Autistic librarian who hates book banners. Sign. Me. Up!


I'm about 10% into it and having a blast. I haven't read that much because honestly, I was in so much pain, I was just sleeping or trying to not have a meltdown every 5 minutes. (Which I somewhat did)


What about you all? Anything good? Have I missed anything?

WednesdayBookClub: 5/29/24

Welcome to WednesdayBookClub, everyone! So for those who missed it (Or for anyone who might be reading the backlog of these), last week, I had a mini sinus infection thingy? My sinuses decided to make like Niagara Falls and I was too exhausted to do book club last week





But I'm mostly recovered and ready to rock! Let's get started


So this week, I was too sick to focus on anything and then when I could, I tried to catch up on work I missed out on. I'm actually still catching up on life stuff. And yes, I *am* starting to feel guilty about not reading my arc, thank you for asking.


What about you all? Anything good this week?

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?

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!!
