#WhatchaReading ? I enjoyed The Forgotten Dead by Jordan Hawk in a terrified kind of way. 😂 Seriously scary! Also very casually queer, and with a delightful, light on steam m/m romance between a trans Professor of Paranormal Studies (or some such) and a paranormal investigator who's suppressing his own powers. Made me cry a lil once I was done shrieking. (I am extremely wimpy so YMMV.)

@willaful I seem to have hit a bunch of sports books; I’m reading Grace Reilly’s “Wicked Serve” which is fourth in a series, this one a volleyball player and a hockey player. Just finished listening to Hannah Grace’s “Daydream” which wasn’t really for me; it felt more like it was for people who liked Grace’s last two and just want to hang out with the characters for 11 hours (or 400+ pages, depending on how you read). The pace is glacial. @bookstodon @romancebooks

@notTheAudience Oh dear. I've been looking forward to it but you're not the first I've heard say it was disappointing.

@willaful To be fair, I was not that impressed with the first two in the series - I wouldn't even have picked this up if the second ("Wildfire") hadn't been better than the first IMO. Grace is a competent writer, I suspect she's just not telling the kind of story I'm looking to read. @bookstodon @romancebooks

@notTheAudience I also liked Wildfire better than Icebreaker. And was really interested in the main character of this.
