Monthly Mystery Read - April

Before we get into which book I unwrapped for April, I'm gonna take a moment to say that if you have a big backlog of TBR books on your shelf and can't summon the motivation to dive into it...this is such a great way to get yourself reading them. Not only are you tricking your brain into being excited about a book you've probably owned for years, but who doesn't love unwrapping presents?! I might start wrapping other already-owned things for later use. Shirt I haven't worn in a while? That's a gift for future me now. Pair of shoes I forgot I owned? Merry Christmas in July to me! You get the picture.

Anyway, March's book was pretty solid, although I discovered that it's a duology. 🤦 So now I have to decide if it was solid enough that I read the second book. I mean...I do want to. If my library had it on audiobook, I would already be listening to it. So I guess more accurately I should say I need to find the energy to read the second book, because energy is in low supply at the moment. I'll get there.

For now though, we're not talking about Illusionary, sequel to Incendiary! We're talking about April's mystery book, a.k.a. The Buried and the Bound.

A little haunting, a little spooky, a little mysterious...I'm already almost a quarter of the way through, and I'm very intrigued so far. I'm also crossing my fingers that this is a standalone, because please, authors. Please. There are so many great books waiting to be read, they can't all be series books, I'll run out of tiiiiime!
