I finished Uruk by #JamesZwerneman in one sitting and I absolutely loved it!Eagerly awaiting book 2!

It has shades of The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini mixed with Avatar the Last Airbender

The optimism & hope that things can (and should!) be better feels so poignant right now

The same could be said for any day in the last 6 weeks - but today really feels like a good day to read this one.

She is not antivax - I believe she tried to get the vaccine early due to health concerns and encouraged others to get vaccinated. She seems to be pretty liberal and uses her work to speak out.

The new Deluxe Edition books are so pretty! And honestly it seems like a really good time to give The Hunger Games a reread.

Finished up my final book of the year! My only real reading slump was in November - still managed to beat last year’s number by 1!

What should I read in 2025? Recommendations welcome!

I’m a sucker for a pretty book cover! Would love to see one from your collection - I’m always looking to add to mine!

Sharing one of my favorites from my collection - quite fitting since it’s the 207th publication anniversary of Persuasion by Jane Austen.
