Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings. It's a fun way for bookworms to share the upcoming releases that they are most excited for. I've been very interested in reading mysteries lately. So my Can't-Wait Wednesday highlight is How Everything Turns Away by Steven J. Kolbe!

"Are you telling me the army cares about my morale?" Jacob indicated the vast array of military firepower before them. "You know how much of this we're going to get? A shovel. That's all I've done since coming to England-dig foxholes. If I ever come face-to-face with Hitler, I'm going to have to beat him over the head with my shovel." -War Stories by Gordon Korman

I am so excited because this one releases tomorrow! I loved Pastel Pink and I'm looking forward to reading Ruby Red which is the second book in Nikki Minty's Zadok series. The first book ended on a cliffhanger so I am ready!
I feel like a problematic book gets released at least once a month. But despite the book's content or author's background, you'll rarely ever see me on Twitter demanding it to be cancelled or calling for a boycott.
Here's a bit of my background. My family comes from a developing country. One where freedom of the press is a joke and going against the status quo can get you killed. Heck, a relative of mine was nearly killed once by state soldiers for having a different opinion. Let's be real. Cancelling books is a form of censorship. And I hate censorship with a burning passion.
"When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don’t explain how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, private investigator Cork O’Connor takes on the case. But on the Bad Bluff reservation, nobody’s talking."
This is the first book I've read by William Kent Krueger. I discovered Windigo Island thanks to my Hoopla Digital "Recommended for You" section. Honestly, this is one of the best books I've read in a while!
"Christiana Kurtz loves to bake, but when her bake stand becomes too busy, her mother encourages her to move her business to the local market. Her new bake shop becomes so inundated with customers that the line blocks the leather and woodcraft shop next door, which is run by Jeff Stoltzfus. When Jeff complains that her stand is driving away business due to the lines, she complains to him that his personalization machine smells. Though their relationship starts off on bad footing, they eventually forge a friendship."
I've had so many people recommend the Amish Marketplace series to me. So I went ahead and picked up the audio book version to give it a shot. I'm so glad that I did! It was everything I look for in a romance book.
I'm happy to announce that I will be participating in Round 4 of Graphicsathon!
I participated for the first time this year in January and had a really good time reading graphic novels and seeing what other people were reading during the third round. I'm no longer working from home so I don't have as much time to read, but I'm looking forward to see how much of my TBR pile I can get done before the round is over.

One of the books I'm most excited for right now is The Nature of Small Birds. My goal this year was to expand the different types of genres that I read. I was good about it for the first part of the year, but not so much lately. I discovered this book on Goodreads a while back and I'm hoping that my local library will have this one soon. If they do, I better stock up on tissues. I have the feeling this one will make me cry.
"Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, everybody is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life. Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath just can't let go. Now that they’re in college, Cath must decide if she’s ready to start living her own life. But does she even want to if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?"
I had been looking forward to the Fangirl manga adaption ever since Viz announced its release. I know several fans of the original book and heard so many good things about the manga adaption so I was hyped for this release. In the end I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.

Lore Olympus is a webtoon I've been interested in for the longest time and it's finally being published! Even though I could legally read it for free online, my eyes really can't handle online reading anymore. LOL. |
