October 2020
October was a crazy, crazy month. From no work at all to 80+ hour weeks. Needless to say, my reading suffered. I stuck to light fiction, fluffy and enjoyable. Mostly on my kindle during lunch and breaks at work.
Fiction:
Red, White & Royal Blue- Casey McQuiston
The Lightning Thief- Rick Riordan
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking
Minor Mage- both by T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon)
This is one of my new favorite writers. My kids and I found her a few years ago (from a Goodreads rec from another of my very favorite writers, Lois McMaster Bujold, actually.) We devoured everything we could get our hands on, starting with the Hamster Princess books. I adore Harriet Hamsterbone and I wish there were more than just the six books we were given. Then we raced through all of the Danny Dragonbreath books (eleven, I think). Then I found out that she writes adult books under a pseudonym and I started reading. I'm not caught up yet, but eventually I will get there. These two books are actually more aimed at middle grade readers than the other books I've read under the name Kingfisher. My daughter and I enjoyed them immensely, and we need more. Just saying. Also, if Ursula Vernon ever stumbles over this, we need more Castle Hangnail. Immediately. Please???
Graphic Novels:
Camp
Act- both by Kayla Miller
