Hi 👋🏽 friends I wanted to share my love for the Kindle Scribe. This is not a sponsored post. I purchased it myself. As many of you know I have a disability. I have neuropathy in my upper extremities. Holding things and writing for more than five minutes will numb and hurt my hands. The Scribe is, to me, the same weight as an iPad Air. I have a clear cover on mine and use a Flippy to rest it while reading. The Flippy and clear cover were purchased on Amazon. If you have an Oasis. The premium feel and the fast maneuvering around is the same without the quick battery drain. The Scribe is crisp and clear. It is quick and not laggy. The writing experience is a dream. I’m able to write for long periods of time without pain. You all have seen my many book Journals. I’m never satisfied and am tired of rewriting the same information over and over. So, to be able to categorize and write my notes in one place is unbelievably convenient and awesome. The pen is easy to hold and doesn’t cramp my hands. I have the premium pen and must pay attention not to hit the button on it when writing. I have my button set to highlight. Occasionally hitting the button is not even a con friends. My notes are visible on my Fire and on the Amazon app. This is just wonderful. I can email my notes to me and share them. It’s a game changer. I’ve spent three days organizing my Scribe Book Journal. The hours of investment to one convenient location was worth it. I have peace of mind that I no longer will have to gather info from multiple notebooks. I had the Kindle Dx. Let’s not forget that device was almost $400 at the time. Only similarity is screen size! I know this device is a bit steep, but if you have any of the issues if mentioned and can wing the price by trade~in, payment plan or selling things you don’t need-go for it!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will be happy to answer. #kindlescribe #kindle #Flippy #TheCloisters #katyhays #netgalley #edelweiss #bookstagram #books #reading #currentlyreading #booklover #booktok #aboutbooks #americanlibraryassociation #californialibraryassociation #bookreview #kindlescribereviews #books #ereader #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPzdAmyyJC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

౨ৎ Recent Arcs & Review Copies I Received ౨ৎ

10 new arcs & review copies I received 🫶 Most of these are fantasy romances that I find really intriguing, especially the first one that I will be showing first ✨️

📍 Inevitable Fate (Edelweiss)- YA Fantasy that's also tagged with Greek and Roman Myths. I kind of have a feeling that this is a reincarnation trope based on the synopsis where the MMC finds himself a paiting version of him heavily tattooed after meeting the FMC. I kind of get an academia feeling, so let's see. Releases on October 1, 2024.

📍 Visions of Darkness (Netgalley)- Both Magical Realism and Fantasy Elements to it where the FMC is bound to 2 realities— the one in her dreams and the other where she truly exists but becomes complicated when the entities in her dreams starts to hunt her. Tagged also with forbidden romance and is set to be out on January 7, 2025.

📍 Death and Debauchery (Author)- Queer Grimdark Fantasy Romance. MMC is in deep trouble with a man and finds himself in the mercy of another man whom he tricked into loving him. I know, lots of drama is going on here 👀 This will be out on August 23, 2024.

📍 All That Falls (Author)- Dark Fae Fantasy with magical or mythical beasts! FMC finds herself tasked to fix the damaged fabric of the universe because of the dropping of the magical beasts. Not sure if this is enemies to lovers. This has been out since April 12, 2023.

📍 Vale of Dreams (Author)- Fantasy and Retelling of the Camelot. This is the 2nd book to the Avalon Tower (book 1). Honestly, Prince Talan, from the synopsis, is more intriguing than the current love interest, so I'm more rooting for him🤣

📍 Oath of Betrayal (Netgalley)- Fantasy, Why Choose, Reverse Harem. All I just know is that this book has dragon riders, dark fae, Lich King, vampires, and Slavic Mythology. I'm sold 👌 Will be out on September 12, 2024.

📍 The Hunted Heir (Valentine Pr, Author)- Fantasy Romance and enemies to lovers. This is a continuation to The Veiled Kingdom (book 1). Can't wait to start this one after that ending 😭. Will this be out on August 20? August 27, 2024? I'm not sure about the date, honestly 😭.

📍 The Wolf's Mate (Author)- Shifter Romance, Arranged Marriage, Opposite Attracts. FMC bargains with The Guardian, and now she has to mate the Alpha King. This will be out on August 27, 2024.

📍 The Alpha's Bound Mate (Author)- Shifter Romance. This is the next instalment to The Enslaved Mate. I honestly didn't like the MMC there on that book, so I hope the FMC would MAKE HIM WORK WORK. This will be out on September 13, 2024.

📍 Wished (Netgalley)- Magical Realism, Romance. Honestly, I didn't like Fated, the book before this, so I hope this will deliver? I don't know, but I'm still hoping that this will be good 🙏🏼. The released date is on October 1, 2024.

Overall, these are all exciting titles 🫶 Massive thank you to the authors and publishers 🫶

The Next 6 Books I’m Planning on Reading

Sometimes I like to play too close to the sun and get burned, more specifically, the lack of self-control I seem to have regarding ARCs. I see something I like or could potentially like, I request. Which thanks to the feedback ratio on Netgalley is really not good.   So my ARCs tend to build up, making it incredibly stressful. I take full responsibility and I’m working on it. Now let’s talk…

The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix (Left-Handed Booksellers of London #2)

When Merlin vanishes, Susan will battle animated statues of heraldic beasts and use magical maps to rescue him on a hunt that leads to a serial killer who must be stopped before she kills again.

There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage. The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an ancient sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Portland Stone. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers. If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.

My Review: When I read the last page in The Left Handed Bookseller of London I hope there was going to be more books featuring these characters and to be able to travel to this alternate 80s UK soon. It took more than two years but I did a happy dance when I was approved for the arc of The Sinister Booksellers of Bath and was able to catch up with Susan, Merlin and intriguing world of the bookseller and the Ancient spirits. This book is even better than the first: we get to know more about the booksellers and meet a very dangerous Ancient with some serial killer tendencies. There’s a lot of character development: Susan is facing her growing powers and discovering more about the books sellers, Merlin is a strong characters that I like. I loved this plot that kept me turning pages and I hope there will other books in this series as there’s still a lot to learn and I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

The Author: Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter.

Despite a wheel literally falling off the Austin, Garth survived to return to Australia and study at the University of Canberra. After finishing his degree in 1986 he worked in a bookshop, then as a book publicist, a publisher's sales representative, and editor. Along the way he was also a part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve, serving in an Assault Pioneer platoon for four years. Garth left publishing to work as a public relations and marketing consultant from 1994-1997, till he became a full-time writer in 1998. He did that for a year before joining Curtis Brown Australia as a part-time literary agent in 1999. In January 2002 Garth went back to dedicated writer again, despite his belief that full-time writing explains the strange behaviour of many authors.

He now lives in Sydney with his wife, two sons and lots of books.

Novel Nuggets – November 2022 Releases Part 2

Well, folks. I did it. By the end of this post, I will be caught up on reviewing the almost eighty books I’ve read since March of this year. I didn’t think it would be possible because whenever I tried to do it at other times this year, something always came up that prevented me from being able to write. Whew. It’s a good feeling. The Choice concludes Nora Roberts’ Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy,…

TIME AND TIDE

Historical fiction with a touch of time travel, for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Alexis Hall, and Olivia Waite’s Feminine Pursuits series, where a modern bisexual woman is thrown into Regency England and must figure out how to survive, while she falls in love with a woman who will become a famous author.

Just a twenty-first century gal with nineteenth-century problems…

When Sam’s plane crashes catastrophically over the Atlantic, it defies all odds for Sam to be the sole survivor. But it seems impossible that she’s rescued by a warship in 1805. With a dashing sea captain as her guide, she begins to find her footing in a world she’d only seen in movies.

Then Sam is betrayed. At the mercy of the men and morals of the time, and without the means to survive on her own, she’s left with no choice but to throw herself on the charity of the captain's sisters. She resigns herself to a quiet life of forever hiding her true self. What she doesn't expect is that her new landlady is Margaret Goodenough—the world-famous author whose yet-to-be-completed novel will contain the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new companion has a secret.

As the two women grow ever closer, Sam must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a place where she doesn’t think she’ll ever fit in, and possibly (accidentally) changing the course of history.
