My last two ARC reads weren’t that great, but I’m really enjoying Quicksilver. It’s not the best-written book I’ve ever read, but I love the characters and I’m really enjoying the story. It definitely gives off ACOTAR vibes, but I love the Fae/vampire twist. To quote my friend, "It's like good Swiss cheese. There's holes, but it still makes a great sandwich."

What I'm Watching
I’m rewatching Sword Art Online, but this time with the kids. We’re about halfway through S2 and really enjoying it! S1 is still my favorite, and I don’t think I’ve ever watched S3. I’m sure we’ll get to it eventually. I also saw Tomb Raider pop up on Kanopy, so I’ll probably watch that at some point this week. It’s been forever since I’ve seen that movie.

I met my NetGalley goal! I finally went through all of my requests (some were from 2017) and cleared out the books I’m no longer interested in and won’t be reading. Over the years I’ve gotten a little wiser and now only request books I really want to read, but past me requested anything and everything. My NetGalley ratio is still only 40%, but it’s definitely progress!
I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy reading!
It's nice to be near family. I hope all goes well with the packing and moving.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move; they are a lot of work. Texas is a hot mess. I hope it goes well for you.

Oh nice! Being closer to family is always nice! That's what I am aiming for in my house search which has been pretty sad lately. Hoping this year will be my year though. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your reads for the week! I've heard some good buzz for Quicksilver. Kind of like how you said, it's not perfect, but still fun!
Here's my StS
