Hi everyone!!!
Here we are, my first post of 2018! So exciting! I’m sure you noticed this corner of the internet became very quiet at the end of December, but between holidays, birthdays, sicknesses and our furnace going out I was stretched a little thin. Thankfully life is settling down and I’m reading to take on some new challenges for the year, including a new day of posting so keep your eye holes peeled for that. I’m planning some new bookish content AND yoga content and possibly some other fun stuff and I am pumped! Do you have any new goals or challenges for the New Year?
On to the book stuff!!
What Are You Reading Wednesday? – The Scoop
After months of building friendships with so many bibliophiles on Instagram, a few of my booksta-besties and I have decided to start a weekly meme where we can all gush over what we are reading for the week.
The idea is that each week all of us book bloggers can write a post where we talk about the book or books we are reading for the week – and yes if you are still reading the same book for a few weeks in a row that is totally fine. Just be sure to include the answers to the five questions for What are you reading Wednesday in your post. Then hop over to one of the host sites and share your link!
Of course, this will be even more fun if you leave the host a comment, and then jump around to another post or two, or five, and gush with them!
We cannot wait to see what you are reading.
What Are You Reading Wednesday – The Nitty-gritty
Share the book/s you are reading with their author, maybe even the cover… and then answer these questions for at least one of them.
Kendall’s Current Read
The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Fledgling witch Morgana must defend her love, her home, and her life in this enthralling tale perfect for fans of Discovery of Witches
In her small early nineteenth century Welsh town, there is no one quite like Morgana, who has not spoken since she was a young girl. Her silence is a mystery, as well as her magic. Concerned for her safety, her mother is anxious to see her married, and Cai Jenkins, a widower from the far hills, seems the best choice.
After her wedding, Morgana is heartbroken at leaving her mother, and wary of this man, whom she does not know, and who will take her away to begin a new life. But she soon falls in love with Cai’s farm and the wild mountains that surround it. Cai works to understand the beautiful, half-tamed creature he has chosen for a bride, and slowly, he begins to win Morgana’s affections. It’s not long, however, before her strangeness begins to be remarked upon in her new village. A dark force is at work there—a person who will stop at nothing to turn the townspeople against Morgana. Forced to defend her home, her man, and herself, Morgana must learn to harness her power, or she will lose everything.
Just a little note, this says it’s the second book in The Shadow Chronicles, but it doesn’t seem to have a direct link to the first book other than also being about a witch. I started reading without any knowledge of the first book and haven’t had any issues following along. It reads as a standalone.
