If anyone has any positive thoughts to spare, please send them our way. My father-in-law fell off of a roof and broke both of his feet pretty bad. They're checking for spinal and other injuries, too. These last few weeks have just been the worst. 😞

Today I'm sharing my favourite community posts that I read in October! I hope you get the chance to visit and appreciate some of these blogs :) Happy reading! #booksky #bookblog #bookcommunity dinipandareads.com/2025/11/06/o...

WWW Wednesday (149) – November 5, 2025 Hello, everyone! It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. I'll be answering the following questions: What did you read last? What are you currently reading? What will you read…

What're you currently reading? I've got three reads on at the minute and all of them are mysteries—a translated korean vampire mystery, a Thursday Murder Club mystery, and a locked-room YA fantasy murder mystery! 👀 I guess it's a vibe 🤭 #booksky #currentlyreading dinipandareads.com/2025/11/05/w...

I am sad to report that Fallen City by Adrienne Young was not a favorite. I still love her though! Thank you, Saturday Books and Macmillan Audio, for the free e-ARC/ALC. #bookreview #FallenCity #bookblogger #Netgalley

Today I'm reviewing THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA by Tasha Suri! 💙📚🌈 "It was a fascinating story with beautiful writing and lots of important things to say. I mostly just wish the romance had a bit more teeth to it and the world was better defined." 3.5⭐ Thanks to Orbit Books for the ARC!

Empire of the Dawn by Jay Kristoff was everything I wanted and more!! Thank you, St, Martin's Press!! #bookreview #EmpireoftheDawn #bookblogger

October was not the reading month I thought it would be and it wound up being the month I read the least (so far?) this year! I did find a 5-star read though, so at least there's that... 😌 How was your reading month? #MonthlyWrapUp #BookSky dinipandareads.com/2025/11/03/m...

One of the best things about a new month? A new TBR (that I probably won't finish)! 😊 Check out today's blog post to see what I hope to read this month. 💙📚

🌞 Afternoon! 🌞 I have a new #bookreview today for THE FAIRY BARGAINS OF PROSPECT HILL by Rowenna Miller. This historical fantasy is “a story about family and understanding what one wants.” 🪐📚💙 aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/27/t...

Today I'm reviewing HAZELTHORN by CG Drews! 💙📚🌈 "I really cannot praise the writing in this book enough for how well it created a place and mood that just swallowed me whole." 5⭐ Thank you to Feiwel & Friends for the eARC via NetGalleyy!

Oh my god. My thoughts go out to everyone in Jamaica and elsewhere in the path of Hurricane Melissa. She is truly a monster, and my heart breaks for the people whose lives will be devastated and destroyed

This week is a Halloween freebie on #TopTenTuesday I went with Skulls on the cover. There are skulls on more than horror books! #TTT #bookblogger #bookmeme #skulls

I was surprised to see that there are so many exciting new book releases coming in November 2025. I thought it would be a slower month, but nope. It is stacked full, especially of sequels. Check out today's post to see what I'm most excited to pick up next month! 💙📚

This week has really been the worst. My wife and I both came down with a cold and feel awful, which kind of ruined her birthday. Then our dog started coughing up blood and had to be put down yesterday. 😭

🌞 Morning! 🌞 Today I’m sharing my list of 🍁 November 2025 book releases 🍁 that interest me. Maybe you’ll find a book or two to add to your TBR, too! 📚💙 aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/25/n...

Today's #TopTenTuesday is about Cozy Reads!! #TTT #bookblogger #cozyreads

🌞 Morning! 🌞 New book review today for KATABASIS by R.F. Kuang, “a dark academia speculative fiction (fantasy) book that takes place in 1980s Cambridge.” 🪐📚💙 aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/20/k...

Pumpkin, Spice, & Latte – Kitten Reveal I've been a bit distracted recently, which is why I haven't been quite as active on the blog. My wife and I rescued three abandoned 3-week-old kittens. We'd been feeding their mom, a stray, for a while, and then she had her babies in our front flower bed.…

Have a cover reveal, as a little treat! Sarah Riedlinger at Blackstone, as always, does amazing work. This one is out in June (Gods of Night and Day book two, the sequel to Dark Moon, Shallow Sea).

Today I'm reviewing REDNECK REVENANT by David R. Slayton! 💙📚🌈 "This book worked really well as both a natural next step in Adam's story with plenty of references to events in the past and a launch point for a totally new arc. I was completely hooked while reading it..." 4.5⭐

🌞 Morning! 🌞 Joining up with the Book Blogger Hop weekly meme to discuss entering Goodreads giveaways. 📚💙 aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/16/e...

WWW Wednesday (148) – October 15, 2025 Hello, everyone! It's Wednesday! That means it is time for another WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. I'll be answering the following questions: What did you read last? What are you currently reading? What will you read…

"THE ENTANGLEMENT OF RIVAL WIZARDS is a rivals-to-lovers fantasy romcom that completely melted my heart." My review of the latest from Sara Raasch! Thanks to Bramble Romance and @torbooks.bsky.social for the free review copy!

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles was one of my favourite reads last month and I'm so glad that I finally picked it up! The snarky swoony banter, and delightfully charged yet playfully sensual moments were *fantastic*! 😍 Highly recommend! #BookReview dinipandareads.com/2025/10/13/b...

I read How to Survive a Fairy Bargain by Laura J. Mayo. What did I think? "How to Survive a Fairy Bargain is fast-paced fun, a book with a little silliness and a whole lot of heart." @orbitbooks.bsky.social #bookloggers #booksky #bookreview

🌞 Morning! 🌞 New book review today for A FAE IN FINANCE by Juliet Brooks. 📚💙 Unfortunately, this one fell a bit flat for me. Thanks to @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the free ARC. aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/13/a...

Today I'm reviewing ALL SOULS LOST by Dan Moren! 💙📚 "A fun, quick listen. The mystery was engaging, and everything about the book felt familiar because it did a good job with the genre conventions. I just wish there'd been a bit more depth and originality." 3.5⭐ Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC!

I just backed The Dragon King on Kickstarter! 😁 www.kickstarter.com/projects/won...

Today I'm reviewing ALL OF US MURDERERS by KJ Charles! 💙📚🌈 "Everything I could have wanted... The atmosphere, the secrets, and the romance were all on point. I honestly can't think of anything I'd have changed." 5⭐ Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press & #NetGalley for an ARC!

So what started as a social media update post somehow became a blog post of rambling blog thoughts. Whoops. 😂 rebeccacrunden.com/2025/10/08/a...

I finished building Toothless this evening! He's so cute, and the #LEGO build was a lot of fun. Now I just need to build the Viking Village to go with him.

The 2025-2026 NHL regular season is finally about to start! Of course, I just had to celebrate by posting my Hockey Book Tag. If you're an NHL fan, what team do you cheer for? As for me, GO AVS GO! 🏒 #Booksky #bookblogger #booktag #AvsHockey #HockeyBookTag

🌞 Morning! 🌞 New book review today about GET IT OUT by Andréa Becker, which, through inclusive interviews, “investigates the hysterectomy procedure and the reasons many may choose to get one.” 📚💙 aliteraryescape.com/2025/10/06/g...

"TO BARGAIN WITH MORTALS is an anti-colonization fantasy that digs into the political complexities that hamper revolution." Full review! Thanks to @binderybooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

It's been a while since I read a Tessa Bailey book but I read Pitcher Perfect last month and I had a surprisingly good time with it! It made me giggle and blush, and I loved the banter and quiet moments, too. #bookreview #booksky dinipandareads.com/2025/10/06/a...
