Happy Summer and Mortal Things by Marie Lu

It is the first day of summer, Father's Day, and the first Sunday in a while that I have not run.   I broke my wrist so I am forced to sit on my magical porch with my happy plants,  watching my chickens, and keeping an eye on George, (our indoor cat who likes to play like she is a savage outdoor cat, 2 feet from the door, under my watchful eye). How did it break my wrist at the beginning is summer you ask?  Well, it is a funny story.   I won't bore you with all the details but I will tell you that I orchestrated an after dinner mountain bike ride and then proceed to ride like a 25 year old,  (which clearly,  I am not).  I have to spend four weeks in a cast that isn't waterproof. Ugh.  So... since I have all this downtime,  I finished the most amazing book I received an advanced copy of from Netgalley.  It comes out in October so put it on your calendar.   This one has all the feels! It is a fantasy, thrill...

Hollow Magic by Mars Lauderbaugh

What a week!   The kids are back at school we survived the first major snowstorm of 2026 and I got back on the Netgalley wagon to gobble up this gem!   I needed a little escapism.   Beautiful artwork.  I love fantasy graphic novels!   The main characters were delightful.  I would recommend this to any teen. It was fast paced.   I would have preferred it to be a duology and have the author spend more time in Feywild.   I hope the author does this as mentioned in the notes.  As I received this as an advanced digital copy, you won't be able to get it until August.  It is week worth the wait though!
