Hi all, I’m taking over the weekly c/Books post this week to talk about what’s happening on the First of May.

But first things first, my update…

I’m finishing up Illumination by T. Kingfisher. I only found her within the last 2 years, but I’m loving all of her stuff.

On to Bingo. In 2 days, in the morning (US Central Time because that’s where I live), I’ll put up a post with details for Bingo. Our hope is to provide a some additional motivation or even gamification of reading over the next year. There are 25 categories that we’ve tried to craft to be flexible no matter what your chosen genre or category are. We’ll additionally have a post where you can find or post recommendations for each category. And throughout the year we’ll post check-ins for those who are participating.

Dresden, Misericordiae, and I are excited and hope you’ll join us.

I barely got any reading done this past week, so I'm still on Stargazy Pie by Victoria Goddard. The tone and overall story so far remind me a bit of the Cemeteries of Amalo series by Katherine Addison, which is a pleasant surprise.

It's been a pleasure to work on book bingo with Dresden and Jaymes; hope you'll all find it a worthy addition to the community!
