CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Happy January 31st! I find myself constantly shocked by how fast each month flies by; at some point soon, I'll hopefully be less surprised.

What is everyone reading this week? Over the weekend, I managed to catch up with the current volumes of Magus of the Library and I finished the book The Shadow in the Glass. The book was both exactly what I was expecting and also not. It's a Cinderella retelling with a Faust twist and is incredibly dark (check trigger warnings before you read it). While I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting (I definitely prefer more "happily ever after" stories), there were parts that got to me.

For this week, I'm hoping to start the next book in the Invisible Library series, The Secret Chapter. If you're looking for a fun series, I definitely recommend this. It's full of libraries, books, dragons, fae, alternate worlds, romance, crazy adventures, and honestly one of the smartest heroines I've read (who isn't made dumb to further the plot). The Secret Chapter is book 6 and there's only 8 total.

Happy reading!

I'm reading Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates on Libby, Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo on my Nook, and I just checked out Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn and Treacherous is the Night by Anna Lee Huber. I'm now prepared for a rainy weekend.

I'm currently reading Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead, He is one of my favorite authors.
I just finished reading False Witness by Karin Slaughter and The Good Life Method by Meghan Sullivan.

I'm currently reading Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long and The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan. Last weekend when there was snow on the ground, I read These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant which added to the ambience!
