Hello readers!
So a week ago #FFFeb started and I am excited to spend a month focusing on F/F books. My TBR is, as I showed last week, a bit challenging. I normally finish 2 books per week if I’m listening to audiobooks, perhaps 3 if it’s a slow week at work, but there will be NO slow weeks in sight now and I’m not 100% sure how I’m going to read everything, but I hope to! I really hope to end this month with my TBR 10 books shorter – next month it will get up to 16 books longer because of the WP long list coming out, and I still hold foolish hope to end the year with fewer than 100 books on my TBR. Who knows, maybe I can do it. I considered reading for Black Month History, but my monthly to-be-read list is already super long, so I will focus on black authors in future months instead.
I bought on audio this week:
Weekly Wrap Up
The Lady Upstairs by Halley Sutton ★★★☆☆
The first book I read for #FFFeb is this noir debut, which was a fun, quick thing, quite perfect for reading after 2 weeks of Ducks.
Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir / Goodreads Ongoing
This is one of my most anticipated books of the year! I love the world, and I love Harrow, but this was 60% of being confused and 10% of starting to get excited about the story, so I’m not sure where it’s going or how I’ll feel when I finish it, but as of now I don’t love it, but I really like it. It’s just very different from Gideon!
Final Girls by Riley Sager / Goodreads Ongoing
I just started this, actually, so it’s too early to tell if I love it yet. But I loved Lock Every Door, so I have high hopes!

I’m so excited that you’re reading Final Girls, it’s one of my favorite thrillers!

My sister’s too! She’s been bullying me to read this and I finally conceded to the pressure! 😀

GOD I was really hoping Harrow would be less confusing than Gideon! I rated Gideon like 2 stars mainly because I was bored and confused throughout the whole thing, and here I was, naively thinking that Harrow would at least not be confusing since we’ve already been introduced to the world! Do you find it less meandering than Gideon was, at least?

LOL comparing to Harrow, Gideon is like a 101 level course. But if you don’t like Gideon, I seriously doubt you’ll like Harrow! I loved Gideon, so I think if it wasn’t for you, Harrow definitely won’t be either!
Depends on what you mean by meandering. My instinctive answer is “no”, because I did think Harrow spent lots of time with flashbacks and scenes I didn’t see the purpose of except confuse the reader, but I read Gideon some months ago so I can’t compare too closely…
