I would LOVE to hear how you go with West Heart Kill. If you like it, I think I have many more recommendations for you. (And if you don't, still true because that book is polarizing). I'm so, so, so happy (touched?) to hear someone read my writing with a cup of tea in front of them. That's my favorite way to take in a newsletter too. If you're going to read Maas, I would just start with ACOTAR and if that doesn't speak to you... stop (relatively immediately).
Loved this, Tara! I'm struggling to get through my rereading challenge because I'm such a mood reader. I knew this was going to happen which was why I was hesitant to put it out in the universe. Now I feel like I'm forced to read a book which is never a fun experience.
These reviews this month were helpful! I have a few of these books on my TBR.
I'm impressed with how you read across such different genres! That's something I would like to push myself to do more. Looking forward to more roundup lists!!
Reading widely is wonderful but it also makes it hard to know what to read next—why I ended up needing a reading life intervention (more to come on that) and why I was so motivated to share my reading life in this very specific format!
I love this concept. I once read The Woman In Black by Susan Hill in one sitting on a rainy day and it was perfect. I could not have read a book about a beach holiday, say, in that same setting. I've never thought of such things as 'mood reading' before but that's definitely what it is!
This resonated deeply! I do something similar with an *it's giving* for each book and 3 things that speak to the mood or vibe of the book. Love how you set the scene here with the moods, very handy for us mood readers!
Omg LOVE THIS and subscribed immediately! I too struggle with my own newsletter in feeling like there’s already so much out there, but you are so right about the ~vibes~ and as a fellow mood reader this is exactly what I want to know about a book. Don’t care what genre or what it’s about! I wanna know if I should wait for snowstorm cozy weather or if a book feels like a foggy summer night or like you’re eating pie in a grandma’s house. More books on vibes alone!!!

I (obviously) completely agree!

Thank you! And I can't wait to check out your roundups!
Meh plus made me laugh aloud.
