  1. I am in date denial too, you are so not the only one!

    And you have the new Chavelier - I'm excited to see what you think of it.

    1. As Kathy below pointed out, I dated the entry wrong. I am so in denial about the date! I'm super excited for the Chevalier.

  2. I have had The Mistress of Rome sitting on my bookshelf for such a long time, I cannot believe I have not read it yet! I have heard lots of good things about it.

  3. I can see you're in denial - tomorrow is actually the 10th! lol The only book I'm familiar with is The Expats. I can't wait to see what you think of your new books.

  5. Great mailbox, Audra! I'll be reading The Passing Bells soon, too, and will also be reading and reviewing The Midwife's Tale. I loved Mistress of Rome and am excited to know a new Tracy Chevalier novel is soon to be released.

    Have a fantastic week!

  8. The Expats sounds good. I hear you about needing a few more weeks!

  9. Great looking mailbox, as usual!! I still have so much wrapping to do, but that is tough with the kiddos around. Must get working on that or I'll be up all night long on Christmas Eve! Enjoy your week! Here is my Monday post.

  10. Love the cover for The Expats, although, for some reason, it kind of looks like a vampire book...but I don't think it is.

    The Passing Bells is so pretty! I got mine too. Also, it's MASSIVE. I was not expecting that. O_O

    17 & Gone. I am a bit envious, but I just read and didn't super like an author who got a lot of comparisons to Suma, so it may be for the best.

    The Midwife's Tale: All I can think is The Handmaid's Tale.

    Looks like The Mistress of Rome might be half-flashing her city.

  11. I'm super jealous of The Midwife's Tale! I have that one pre-ordered for my Kindle and cannot wait. Enjoy The Last Runaway--I read it earlier this year and really liked it. Happy reading!

  12. I got The Passing Bells, too, so I can't wait to see what you think of it. Enjoy your new books! I'm feeling the stress of the holidays, too; there's never enough time to get everything done.

  13. Great mailbox. I want to read The Passing Bells and The Midwife's Tale. Enjoy!

Book Review: Kitchen Table Tarot by Melissa Cynova

Image
This book reignited my love for tarot.

I bought my first tarot deck at 16 or so, and have been passionate about tarot since then. But after twenty years of reading (and heavily collecting), I found I wasn't turning to my cards as much. Partially it was being pregnant, and then having a kid -- many, many things in my life slowed down -- but a good deal of it was feeling in a rut and at a dead end. I 'knew' the cards, as much as I could, but I wasn't using my decks regularly or reading for anyone -- including myself.

On a whim, I requested this book via NetGalley, and to my surprise, actually read the e-book galley cover to cover -- yes, including every page for every card. Cynova -- popularly known online as Little Fox Tarot -- has a wonderfully down-to-earth and accessible attitude that immediately drew me in, and her every thought on tarot and reading (or card slinging) is approachable, welcoming, and realistic.

From the first page, Cynova's personality comes thr…

Book Review: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Image
First line: Okonkwo was well known throughout the nine villages and even beyond.

I had to grit my teeth to get through this book. (All 209 pages.)

I'm ashamed to admit this since a surprising number of folks online and in person have cited this novella as one of their favorite books, but I found everything about this brief read to be agonizing -- the plot, the narrative style, the characters -- it and I just did not connect.

I went in expecting to love this book given its reputation and subject matter. Achebe depicts the story of a Nigeria broken by white colonialism; our hero is deeply flawed and stubbornly committed, living in a world with problems triply complicated by the unnecessary influence of white colonizers. Achebe's narrative style is straight-forward and clear, even as he articulates a world deeply foreign to modern audiences.

I suspect I didn't understand this book; I'm also not a huge fan of tragedies (I loathe Hamlet) so Okonkwo as a character didn'…

Reading Challenge: RIP 13

Belatedly, here's my commitment post for Readers Imbibing Peril XIII, or RIP 13, the reading challenge of creepy, scary, and chilling reads.

I'm a total puss and yet I love me some creepy books. Reading ghost stories in October is just a tradition for me (honestly, Halloween might be my favorite holiday) so gathering up spooky books is catnip.

My queue, unsurprisingly, is massive. Good luck to me. My list includes two beloved rereads (Rebecca and Jane Steele) (if you haven't read either of these books read them immediately!) as well as some new items. I'm particularly excited for the issue of Nightmare magazine, as it's focused on authors of color and includes some thoughts on Lovecraft. Mmmm.

Agatha Christine, Ordeal by Innocence
Daphne Du Maurier, Rebecca
Lyndsay Faye, Jane Steele
H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories
(Daniel) Mallory Ortberg, The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Nightmare Magazine 49: October …
