Season's Hatings by J.S. Jasper
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.5
Initial Reflection:
Sweet and spicy! Made me smile and laugh. This was such a perfect little holiday adjacent novella to lift my spirits. Archie was the sweetest little side character! So precious! This would be an adorable made for tv holiday movie with some adult themes of course bc the opening spicy scene was too good to skip!

The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
informative
fast-paced
Initial Reflections:
Some really great insights on human biases and our capacity to think and overthink. Snappy, witty and relevant.
Two too many HP references for a book published so recently.

This is the third book in the series with one more to go! It is a perfect build to the finale and I absolutely can’t wait to conclude the series. I loved the balance of character development, lore, action, suspense and interpersonal relationships. I think the pacing worked well and the plot moved forward enough, while still giving enough world building. This series has quickly become one of my favorite YA fantasies.

Nice and light! A quick, cute paranormal novella with a touch of spice. Perfect little pick me up and a low stakes, cozy fall read.
