#amreading: The Gallery
…I’m totally not choosing books simply because they’re blue. I could though. Lots of blue books in my To Read Stack.
I’m about halfway through The Gallery by Laura Marx Fitzgerald. It’s a historical, set in New York in 1929, featuring a sassy Irish maid … and an art-laced mystery that’s still culminating. More reviews from my month’s reading to be found on my GoodReads account. #BookADayInMay
COVER REVEAL: Beneath the Torch
“You.”
Ewan offered a weak smile. “Yes, miss?”
“You’re not Jovan.” Her surprise shifted into dazzling happiness, and she actually hugged him.

Tupper dashed ahead, but Freydolf ambled along at a slower pace, mindful of his surroundings, for the sprawling stoneworks were ultimately his responsibility. Their familiarity grounded him, their richness inspired him, and their complexity meant there was always a decent chance of spotting something he’d never noticed before.

#amreading in May
So far, so good! I’m indulging my love for middlegrade/YA adventure with A Book a Day in May. Reviews that aren’t posted here can be found on my GoodReads account.
I promise, I’m not choosing books based on the color scheme of the covers … though I did start The Gallery today, and that has a blue cover, too. Hmm.
GAME: Name that Book Cover
#amreading: A Book a Day in May
I like crazy challenges, and I like to read. Since May looks to hold a full month of typesetting for me, I’m mixing up my usual daily routine in order to give myself some downtime away from the computer. In short, I’m gonna READ!
My bedside stack is twenty-odd books high, and I have Continue reading #amreading: A Book a Day in May
