April Reading Roundup

[unicornduke]

Read

• The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar - absolutely wonderful sweet little book. Felt almost poetry like. Really nice. Library e-book
• The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison - mystery adventure book, enjoyed the exploration of the world of a relatively normal person. purchased e-book
• Emilie and the Hollow World by Martha Wells - YA vibes but the protag was slightly too old for the vibes I think. Not a bad little story though, absolutely bonkers worldbuilding stuff. Library -book
• The Gentlemen and his Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide - absolutely wonderful romance/magical murder mystery but I didn't realize the ebook had DRM so I could only read it on the publishers website. Absolutely infuriating since it didn't work well. Purchased e-book
• The Mirador by Katherine Addison - this book series is like a trainwreck, it's so weird but I couldn't stop reading. Third in the series. Library e-book

DNF

• The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu - Too much physics deep dives for me. Got about halfway through and it wasn't that interesting to me. Library e-book
• Home Grown Magic by Jamie Pacton - this is so tropey romance nonsense that I didn't even get through a quarter of it. library e-book

Re-read

• The Goblin Emperor - listen. My brain is obsessed. Purchased e-book
• The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison - library audiobook - first audiobook I got through while doing farmwork, even harder to track the names while listening but oh well. Enjoyed it though.
• All Systems Red by Martha Wells - library e-book
