RIP (Read In Progress) Wednesday

There's a rumor going around this part of the galaxy that it's Wednesday again. Seems a bit exaggerated (time doesn't move that fast, surely) but I'll go with it.

What are you reading?

I am now on the 4th book of the Beacon Hill Sorcerer series and each book is really a step up in writing from the last. Honestly, seeing a writer improve that much over a handful of books is motivating for me.

Also, the pairing that I wasn't happy about happening? Turned out that was a fake spoiler or someone being weird?

I am really glad I got into this series. I had a weird start with it because I originally found it browsing Audible when I had credits I needed to use. The audiobook is... not great. Choices were made, very baffling choices.

I just finished this one a couple of hours ago - The Anomoly by Michael Rutger, and it was pretty good. Mild horror, about a bloke who has a documentary series about weird and strange things and he gets a group together to go find a mysterious cave in the Grand Canyon that was discovered by an explorer in 1909 but then hushed up by the Smithsonian. Needless to say, it does not go as planned. lol

I'm now trying to decide what to start tomorrow, either The Parliament by Aimee Pokwatka which is a horror kinda like The Birds but with owls. Or In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune which is apparently a retelling of sorts of the original pinocchio but with robots.

About halfway through How to Build a Boat by Elaine Feeney, which is charming and beautifully written.

Adding The Anomaly to my TBR, that sounds right up my alley!

I'm reading Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn. I'm only like 30 pages in so I haven't formed an opinion yet, but this is my Jamaica pick from the Reads the World challenge on the StoryGraph!

So still making my way through 'Soul Music' and 'Girl Forgotten' - got side tracked trying to make my way through a car handbook. Managed to finish listening to 'Steelheart', I liked it more as I went along but still not as much as 'Elantris' and 'Mistborn' and so am now onto 'The Testaments' by Margaret Atwood with 'Fugitive Telemetry' as my next Murderbot read to look forward to.

Currently reading *Impromptu Match* by Lily Mayne (m/m monster romance) and *Tommy Cabot Was Here* by Cat Sebastian (m/m historical romance). Adore both of them so far :D

A Non-Fiction book called The Mystic Hand. For a book on economics it's surprisingly readable but not doing anything good for my anxiety. It's basically about the role of central banks during financial crises and where the risks are in their current policies.

I'm about 2/5 of the way through Backpacking Through Bedlam right now, and am enjoying it so far!
