The Inklings Digest Part 3
Currently Reading
I goofed. My last update, I mentioned that I was finishing some books up and I still have almost all of those on my currently reading. I’m reading the Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky, a Darkness Returns by Raymond E. Feist, A Tide Of Black Steel by Anthony Ryan, and The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle.
Recent Reads
I don’t feel like I had the best reading week. I read Wrestling with Werewolves by Hazel Mack, Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh, and I finished the Lake House Children by Gregg Dunnett (Review on the blog). I loved Hazel Mack’s Cozy Monster romance series so much, but wrestling with werewolves wasn’t it for me. I’m not sure if it was the characters or if I just wasn’t in the mood for a cozy monster romance but it didn’t do what I needed regardless. Slave to sensation was fine, but still not something I’ve found myself thinking about or raving about to be honest. It’s a paranormal romance, which has never really been my thing. I’m not typically fond of how paranormal romances tend to be very episodic and following a different couple every book. I’m a no new friends type of gal and I always have a hard time with that. As for the last house children, I was sorely disappointed. I’d encourage you to check out that post to see the details if you’re curious. I’ll sum it up here as a really big expectations vs. reality issue.
This Week’s Plans
I swear I will finish most of my current reads this week. I have a few reviews scheduled for this week and, after talking to my aunt, have decided on a course of action for my podcast – she’s going to be joining me! We’re going to record a few episodes over the weekend and then we will see how it feels from then on. I love recording the podcast and have so many ideas I’m super excited about, but have found it to be so awkward recording by myself and realized that, for what I want it to be, one person isn’t really the route that I can go with it. So, we’re expecting the first episode to be out on Friday the 13th (9/13/24) and I’m super excited about it.
Thanks for tuning in and I’ll see ya next week.
