I started reading Full Moon Over Freedom last night. This is the second book in a small town contemporary romance series featuring three Mexican-American sisters. They have all recently returned home as adults, each for their own reasons. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and this second book follows the “perfect” (and potentially also witchy) sister in a second-chance romance. I read the first two chapters before bed last night and am excited to be back in this world with a new pair of main characters.

As I mentioned yesterday, I started The Golden Flame about a week before the end of November. This book was one of the YA FairyLoot special edition hardcovers that I got and never read. It’s the second to last of the ones I wanted to read this year for the Adventure in Aeldia challenge.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book, because I never heard anything about it, either before or after it was released. The reviews are kind of mixed (3.4 on Goodreads), and out of all my FairyLoot stash, this one seemed most likely for a DNF and donate. That’s how it ended up as my pick for the November prompt (“at risk of an unhaul”). I won’t be making a decision to DNF or not until I get further along (usually somewhere around page 50), but so far, the first couple chapters were interesting enough to keep me reading. I didn’t want to travel with a hardcover, though. So I left this one at home. But I do want to try to finish (or DNF) it before the Lightfall readathon starts next weekend.

Speaking of travel, I also have an audiobook that I’m planning to start tomorrow. I managed to get System Collapse (the new Murderbot book) from my library. It’s due back before the Lightfall readathon starts, so I can’t listen to this for the audiobook and crafting prompt. But that’s okay, because I have a LONG travel day tomorrow, and I think this short book is going to be the perfect thing to listen to during my journey.

But right now it’s time to do some more writing sprints with my friends. I’ll be back tomorrow with the recap of what I read in November so you can see how I’m doing with my end of the year reading TBR.
