Currently Reading!
Alice by Christina Henrey
I got this yesterday at Barnes & Noble and just had to start reading! It’s interesting so far but really weird. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories so I’m excited to see where this version takes me!

This is one of the many books I want to read next. I usually read three books at a time…
I don’t know whether to read this, The Wrath and The Dawn, or An Ember in the Ashes.

Here’s my big old 2021 book roundup . I think graphic novels and nonfiction (!) really stood out this year (and a handful of picture books, which I didn’t draw each month because I’d be painting for another entire year).
Books read in December 2021
CHEF YASMINA AND THE POTATO PANIC by Wauter Mannaert
NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN YOU by Miranda July
OUR CROOKED HEARTS by Melissa Albert
THE INHERITANCE GAMES by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
THE HAWTHORNE LEGACY by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
@wayfarers97 tagged me to post 3-5 books I want to read next year, and I had the hardest time figuring out which books to pick! I usually just wing it and grab whatever is in my floor pile or go on hold sprees at the library. But then I remembered some upcoming books that will publish this year that I’m eagerly anticipating.
-Solnit because I’ll always read her stuff, and I lucked into a copy of Orwell’s Roses recently and should probably get around to reading it in January.
-The upcoming Nevermoor book should come out in September!
-Mina, Matt Forsythe’s next picture book (out in spring) looks to be in the style of Pokko, which I absolutely loved.
-My friend recently got me hooked on The Inheritance Games, which we both found out is mystery trilogy (curses! I hate a mystery trilogy! I don’t like the unanswered suspense! This is a repeat of what happened with the Truly Devious trilogy. *cries*) and not a duology. So now, like a dummy, I’m waiting for the third book to come out in August.
Tagging anyone who’s up for sharing 2022 tbrs! (@the-forest-library, if you want to do this one!)
