Magic in the City: Fairyloot Box

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on Magic in the City: Fairyloot Box

Story time: I realized all too late that this book box had something wrong with it. I saw the notification on instagram about the shipment having disappeared before I got the email. When I got the email, they said that it should ship within that week, but I did not get the shipping email until sometime last week and didn’t get the box until Thursday. This has been all sorts of stressful but its okay because I wasn’t planning on reading the book this month anyway!

July Reading List

Happy July everyone. We are half way through 2019, and I am at 72 books read this year alone. It’s a lot, wow. I actually have a lot of TBR and to reread books, mostly because I have a lot of first two or three novels in a series, but I never finished it. I think that, as a goal moving on through the rest of this year, I’m going to actively work towards finishing the book series I own (finally) and finishing those reviews. Or at least after August and not December. August is for NEWTs and December is for dragons after all.

NEWT Reading List (August TBR)

by themarlenamarie1 Comment on NEWT Reading List (August TBR)

Here we are everyone! NEWTs List, and it has been a long time in the running, let me tell you. As a note about this extensive list, I think I may be adding a “I might read this too list” later on in the month depending on my reading speed for these. Also, I’m cheating. That’s right. I’m going to say it. I’m cheating for this bookathon. I’ll explain in a moment…

I hope you are all having a beautiful Wednesday morning! I know I am, and today I bring you some interesting news.

I recently got a message from a follower named Patri, who has asked for accessibility features to be added to the site, namely audio tracks in the form of an audio podcast, for my posts. I will be using one of her recommendations, for easy access to all my posts. It’ll be added soon. Thank you so much for the recommendation and the links! It saved me time with the research.

However.

Something of a Dream {RW}

Something of a Dream {RW}

She awoke as she always did, naked and next to the body of some man who had been far more attractive when she was drunk than when she was sober. The room smelt thick of cigarettes and the memory of smoke that was etched into the walls and carpets from years of filling the room with smoke so thick one could not see. Plucking the glasses — sharp, cat eyed, and thick rimmed — from the bed side table, she slid her feet from the warmth of the body next to her and to the floor where her slippers lay waiting. 

From the covers she flew, discarding them in her wake, uncaring for the body of the man who had no more business remaining in her house. She took three steps before she was searching for her robe. Turning back to her bed, her side was neatly tucked into the bed and a silken robe lay atop it. Snatching it, she haphazardly threw it around her body and rounded the room divider of her studio loft. Her kitchenette was chilled and unused that morning, other than the steaming hot cup of coffee waiting for her in one of her favorite mugs.

My Goodreads

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on My Goodreads

Okay, so I did make a goodreads back in May. I wasn’t sure how I was going to use it to keep track of books, because it simply just wasn’t something I used.

Instead of trying to go through all the books I own and try to figure out when I read them and possibly try to do it that way. I’m going to start with my earliest records of keeping track of the books I read (Aka last January, 2018) and just add in all those books and their read month/year. Anything before that, unless it’s very specific (and I’ve added already), I’m not going to bother.

Yeah, so… if in the future, anyone asks. That’s why.

This blog post is mostly about that. Also about how at some point I’ll learn to keep a consistent Instagram and take photos of all my tea boxes for the tea posts. Sometime. Not today though, (And that’s why I can’t seem to ever do it lol)

Until next time,

MM

Missing and Lost Books: What happened to the Last Book?

Missing and Lost Books: What happened to the Last Book?

tl;dr

Does Trapped in Time (Zenda 9) by Ken Petti and John Amodeo exist? Probably not. I’d say def no, but I want to hold out hope.

Does The Keepers (Part 3): Armistice by Rick Friar or Richard Friar exist? From what I can tell, no.

Did they ever? I have no clue.
