Note: I am way too addicted to downloading eARCs at the moment, meaning I have downloaded way more than I have the capacity to read. Paused the kid lit for an adult read this week too–Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey. If you like adult romance, this is by far her best work in that series, and a quick, fun read overall.

Note: I’m not up to Annamarie’s amount of reading, but I am back and plugging away as I can. I got off of isolated quarantine this week and got to enjoy reading a couple of these on my porch in the fresh air (with a mask) and it was absolutely magical!
I’ve been meaning to read Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker and I hope to squeeze in Stamped by this summer. Do you need to have read the two previous books in the series before reading Tools of Engagement? And I just have to note what a perfect day (4/20) to share a book on cannabis. LOL Have a fantastic reading week, Annamarie and Michala!
I saw some books I certainly need to be ready to buy when school comes back in, like Fly Guy: Monster Trucks. I am also curious how a Geronimo Stilton graphic novel will go over. I find those are fading in popularity at my library. Thanks for the post, happy reading!
I can remember when the first Fly Guy book came out, and now he’s into Monster Trucks. How they grow! Lots of good books here.
