I set my GR challenge at 100 books, which I typically have no issues reaching. So, it’s no stress with the ‘yay, I did it’ sense of accomplishment 😉 I’m 70ish books ahead of schedule, so that’s on track. But, I have been reading a lot less lately cuz of a nasty slump. I think I’m slowly but surely pulling myself out of it after a handful of re-reads (Devon Monk’s ‘House Immortal’ trilogy) and Jacky + next In Death book + A Knack for Metal and Bone, which I just finished and really enjoyed. Next up, Atonement Sky.

I loved Fourth Wing; my ratings dropped a bit w/each book, but I’m hopeful for those yet to come.

Thx for the feedback, Amyiw! My husband and I are anxiously awaiting our start once it’s ended.

Happy July, y’all! 🎆

We’re halfway through 2025, how’s your year of reading progressing? Meeting all your reading goals? Found any new series or authors to read?

Anyone watching BDB series? It's out, but I'm not willing to add yet another streaming service. But, the curious cat in me wonders if it's any good 😆

😊 the title is a hoot

Look forward to hearing how y’all like it. It really could’ve just been me … been in a bit of a book funk.

The Vampire in the Potting Shed by Hailey Edwards
Group Discussion: SPOILERS MAY EXIST

I’ve read a lot of Hailey Edwards’ books. This one was just an okay read for me. It was short, maybe too short and had a bit of a cliffy ending. I’m not a big fan of ‘can’t shift so everyone treats me different’ storylines, but as a fan of a lot of her books and vampires, I grabbed this one as KU loaner. I’ll likely check out bk2 to see how things play out, then decide if I’ll go further or drop it.

This is the discussion thread for our July BOM: The Vampire in the Potting Shed by Hailey Edwards.

WTG :)

I'm sure I'll eventually do a re-read, but first I gotta catch up to current.

I think it was the end, but maybe more down the road? 😆

👍🏼It took me a bit to get into it, but I liked it okay. It was predictable, but not unenjoyable overall.
