gift from malin

when you don’t know where to start…turf the request to the infallible Malin

December 19, 2022 by wicherwill 1 Comment

I have been wanting to try Discworld for so long, but sort of like Doctor Who, it’s just…a lot, for someone who didn’t grow up with it/around it (ducks to avoid the shrieks). What is a Discworld? How does one start? Where does one go? The things I hear about it make me want to read it so VERY much, but it’s like every white whale of a book x 1000 because there’s seemingly a thousand million books in this series. Is it even about a […]

Thank You andtheIToldYouSos, and Happy Holidays!

Oh my God, I love it! Thank you andtheIToldYouSos! I know I am a bit of a pain when it comes to the book exchange because I don’t really leave much detail as to what to get me—decisions are hard! But I love everything here from the two new authors that I have never read before, the extraterrestrial-themed cards and mask, the Spice Girls card(!) And the friendship bracelets! (And they did they put me in mind of a certain someone, was that deliberate?) I […]

Thank you to Jake!

I was thrilled to see these two books when I opened the package! I’ve been wanting to read No Man Knows My History for years, and I started reading it right away. And then how could you not want a book with the title Sex Cult Nun haha 🙂 Thank you so much! This was such a nice surprise and I’m really looking forward to reading these.

Thank you, CoffeeShopReader!

Came home from work to find this festive gem from CoffeeShopReader. Thank you for the tea and the chocolates, I have already started in on them. And the book is one that wasn’t on my radar, so yes, you did a good job in picking out one I haven’t read yet! The corner being chewed by your cat made me laugh. I also have a cat who likes to eat book jackets, though not the actual book! Will report back once I have read the […]

Thank you livresquejess!

Livresquejess made my night with an email gifting me with three ebooks. I know, I am so basic, I really only read on my tablet these days. I am so excited, just look at these beauties: I have been drooling over The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings since some time late last year when I saw a blurb about it on Twitter (RIP BookTwitter). Last year I saw a review of Half a Soul from KJ Charles and have been wanting it since, […]
