This past week was a bit of a hurdle to get through so my reading has been a bit off kilter. That being said, I did get my first official approval from NetGalley today! Pretty exciting stuff. The book is Webs of Ink by Rebecca Connolly!

*A huge thank you to Shadow Mountain Publishing and Rebecca Connolly for approving me for an ARC copy of your gorgeous book!*

I linked the cover to the Goodreads page as usual!

Why This Book?

The 1920’s style on the cover is what initially stole my attention. I love period books, especially 1800’s – early 1900’s. This book is set in London as well which is always an amazing place to be transported to. Maud West and Agatha Christie are the main female characters in this book which is pretty amazing. West is attempting a more dangerous case so she brings on Christie as an investigative partner. Ah, it just seems like such a great read 🙂 It is due to publish on November 3, 2026.

Updates

I am still getting through Better Than Before by Courtney Walsh! It has released by now since I took so long getting through the audiobook but I am about 94% of the way through that.

I just started reading and listening to Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg. I am loving the audiobook so far and am following along on the Kindle version. I am about 27% of the way through this book and am loving it so far.

Just 8 more books left for this whole year lol. I am more curious as to how many I am going to go over this goal.
