I made the last-minute decision to stay home for the long weekend. It would have been nice to see family but — truthfully — these three days have been bliss. Sleeping and eating. Eating and sleeping. A long walk. Reading.
This Thankgiving, I’m thankful for stay-cations.
Today, for Day 12 of Blogtober, I’m featuring 5 books/authors that I’m thankful to have discovered over the past year — so, between mid-October 2019 and now.
The works of Margaret Rogerson – An Enchantment of Ravens and Sorcery of Thorns. These books are whimsical and lovely, and just about the perfect immersive fairy tale experience.
The works of Madeline Miller – The Song of Achilles, Circe, and Galatea. Lyrical, smart, and sufficiently magical to capture my attention. I can’t wait for her next book
Strange the Dreamer and Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor – Hypnotic, velvety, and thoughtful. Strange the Dreamer is one of my top reads of 2020.
The Works of William Ritter – Jackaby and The Oddmire. These books are fun and fast-paced, and carry such a lovely, wholesome message.
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas – Admittedly, it took me two reads to get this book — it is just so dense — but, jeez. Talk about an emotional punch. Maas has done it again.

Yes Madeline Miller! Everything she writes is incredible!
It totally is! I just checked her GoodReads, and no sign of her next book yet 😦 Hopefully they’ll announce something soon.
Agreed with Jackaby!! I have finally read book 2 (review to come, soon) and I really wish I didn’t procrastinate on it hahaha
You’ve just made my evening! 😀 I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Have you started Book 3?
Not yet! I’ve got about 55ish books waiting for me on the table but I will get to book 3 much sooner than it took for book 2 😂
