It's that time again!
Thanks to Goodreads for doing all the tracking for me. This year my goal was 40 books and I am happy to report I busted it with 47 reads! Yeah! I even managed toreview a few here on the blog. So let's look at the stats: 
You know I am interested in so many topics that my reading list is usually very eclectic, but I went for more escapism this year. I blame the stress of the past few years, lol
I did manage to work a bit more on my language skills and read a few books for work. I'm continuing to read several series including 'The Dresden Files' (each book is better than the last, with exception of Ghost Story) and of course favorites authors like Anne Rice, Chelsea Quinn Yarbaro and Neil Gaiman are also on the list. 
To be honest, if I don't like a book I usually stop reading. So almost all of the books I review I like or I wouldn't waste my time.
If your looking for a witty and fun read I highly recommend this book!
This was a surprise..I had no idea this was the most popular book I read this year.
I'd love to connect with you on Goodreads.
Do you have any good recommendations?
I'm planning on reading 50 books next year, so I'd love to hear your about your most loved books. See you soon! PS: This post contains affiliate links.

Hello!
I hope you are well and enjoying December. I have a really quick book review today. Recently I read A Dead Djinn in Cairo: (Dead Djinn Universe) the Kindle Edition and think that you will like it to. Its a very quick read at only 47 pages but very well written. It is part of a larger series set in 1912 Egypt in a steampunk world filled with magic, mystery and mayhem. See a clockworks is about to destroy the earth...
I think it's a prefect read on a cold afternoon, plus right now Amazon has the Kindle version on for only $1.99 so grab a cup of tea, get comfy and dive in!
MY QUICK REVIEW: Overall very good short story that drives you to read more, even if steampunk isn't your thing. Very good world building and a well balanced magical story with interesting characters, fun steampunk devices and just enough of the old Egyptian mysteries thrown to make for a very good tale.
The first book in the Dead Djinn Universe, I stumbled on A Master of Djinn and began reading over the Thanksgiving break, but saw this short (47 page) story as a prelude and decided to move to it. It is set in the Steampunk Universe of 1912, filled with magic and mystery. If you are looking for a short, entertaining read begin with this one and then you will be glad there are more books in the series. THE AUTHOR: Phenderson Djéli Clark is a prolific award-winning author. He was also nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and Sturgeon for his novellas Ring Shout, The Black God’s Drums and The Haunting of Tram Car 015. Which I am adding to my TBR list. My Last Minute Thoughts:
Happy Wednesday ~
I hope you are well and staying out of the Thanksgiving madness. I'm still traveling/working and I just wanted to share something really quick with you. I'm staying at a holiday house and some of the furnishings impressed me enough to look them up! I was even more impressed when I found out they were affordable! That never happened, especially now. One of my best finds is about to be my "go to" holiday hostess/unexpected drop-in gifts of this super luxuriously and soft blanket. The picture look meh, but it is really soft and I was glad to see it washed/dried and still looks brand new. It will make a thoughtful and useful gift rather than another knick knack that no one actually wants. It's a great Amazon find right now and I'm buying as gifts especially - at this price. 
Amazon has it on offer NOW! Grab it quick!
I will be sharing some of the other cool stuff here in later posts and of course in videos. You do follow me on Youtube, right? If not, run over there now--I'm uploading all kinds of recipes, travel, nature and relaxing videos. Watch them here.
Also run, don't walk over and grab that blanket now before all the pretty ones sell out. *Please note this is an affiliate ad, and I do make a small amount if you purchase from this link. It does not affect your cost and it helps keep this blog going. |
