Buddy Read of the Month
The Surviving Sky by Kritika H. Rao (Goodreads) is one of our favorite buddy reads so far! We enjoyed discussing it and are excited to read the rest of the series. A unique science fantasy we highly recommend!
Non-Bookish Noteworthy
Ariel – Stardew Valley, a cute farming and social sim game that recently received a major content update!
Kriti – Foundation on Apple TV
Writing & Blogging
Reviews on the Blog
This month was a mix of reviews and compiling interview questions! I made time to write five and found time to write another four reviews. My favourites were The Porcelain Moon and The London Bookshop Affair. It was fun to discuss Bookshops and Bonedust and The Surviving Sky with Ariel.
While researching for my TBR Tales on DNF, I have embraced putting books away that do not resonate with me. I had two such books this month and I liked the aspects of them that I could highlight based on how much I read.
On the collaboration side, I put together questions for Haley Shapley, author of Strong Like Her (Non-Fiction feature of this month), Tony Ganzer, author of Kneading Journalism and Paulette Kennedy, author of The Devil and Mrs Davenport.
Though I had planned to post another article to TBR Tales, I didn’t have the energy so it’s coming next week. 🙂
