  I review on my reading blog Saved by the Spell by Tanya Huff. It's cozy urban fantasy about an overworked teacher in magic school tasked with finding a Villain to a Hero that has emerged in her class. Good, fast read. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2026/11/saved-by-spell-by-tanya-huff-review.html #bookreview #cozyfantasy @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

  I only have one manga for new books day today. The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao’s Notes on the Inner Palace Vol. 1 by Minoji Kurata & Natsu Hyuuga. It's the same story, but in shortened form, with a new artist whose style I didn't really like much. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9038083186 #manga #bookreview

  Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy, Book 1) by Robin Hobb is currently only 1.99. Should be everywhere. It's the illustrated edition, so even if you've read it before, it might be fun to have. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/assassin-s-apprentice-the-illustrated-edition #booksale #fantasy #bookstodon

  I took a week off last week and stayed up into small hours many nights reading and watching anime, and I failed to return to normal sleeping schedule when I came home. Last night, I slept 12 hours without waking up once. 😮 I might need another 12-hour-night too.

  It's the new book day. I only had three manga ARCs, and one them came out already in August, but I got a late review copy. Golden Man Vol. 1 by Petos starts a fun superhero manga with a twist: the hero has amnesia. And maybe isn't the hero. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8944844251 #manga #bookreview @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

  As far as typos go, this one kind of makes sense. I had to read it several times before I figured out the problem. 😆

  Yesterday was a two book reviews kind of day, mostly because of the long weekend where I had time to read. First up, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews. I really loved this take on isekai genre. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2026/04/this-kingdom-will-not-kill-me-by-ilona.html #BookReview #fantasy #isekai #bookstodon

  We're refurbishing the kitchen. Nothing major, just some new paint on cabinet doors and such, but even that requires so many steps that I'm already annoyed with the project. Why can't I just take a can of paint and get to work? 😩 😀

  Hazards of painting kitchen cabinets: open an upper cabinet door, lean down to take some paint, straighten up, bang your head on the cabinet door. 🤕 (Emoji for illustration purposes only. Not representing reality. 😆 )

  I’ve been painting the kitchen cabinets for seven hours. I’ve called it a day. I have ice cream and rosé wine, and it’s warm on the balcony. Waiting for husband to bring pizza. Hopefully before I fall asleep. 😅

  I'm coming down with a cold. 😩 There have been signs for several days, but nothing serious so I hoped it would go away. I don't have time for this; I have a book to launch on Sunday.
