I finished reading an ARC I received which pushed back some of my book club reading and I haven’t even picked up my #ReadWithFey selection yet. This hurt shoulder has been a real pain; I feel like I’m moving so slow because of it.

I’m 74% through this collection and have really enjoyed it. So far, I find it relaxing to read a little of this between stressful tasks.

I’m 30% through this and find it quite adorable at the moment. The pet fly is cute and the blend of magic and tech really appeals to me.

It’s been a slow reading month for me, but I’m around the 75% mark of this book. It’s been enlightening, so far, to discover many cultural differences between U.S. and European citizens when it comes to daily life, travel, marriage, and more. Plus, I’m learning about life on a boat. It’s not shocking to discover the many ways in which the U.S. government seems to be designed to hold people down and strip them of their peace of mind. I’m proud to be a U.S. citizen, I just wish the U.S. was more caring of its citizens and its visitors.

Being the one to read multiple books at a time, I too am just around the 75% point with this book. It’s not what I was expecting. I don’t want to say too much right now because I’d rather lay it all out in my review. Plus, it seems there is an update for this book, so I may read that to do a comparison, but I’m not sure. I am very much looking forward to the discussion of this book next week. I’ve seen the questions and they are good.

Almost done with this one; should be completed by the end of the week. Enjoyable. Fun 90s references.

Haven’t started this yet, but will as soon as I complete the upper one. I think I will like it, but I’ll have to read it to be sure.
