Shifting Sands

Jana Sun

Archaeologist-in-training Arthur Lewis thought he’d buried the past, until his charming, reckless ex-rival shows up on his Egyptian dig site with a cursed necklace and a mountain of gambling debt.Because of course he would.William Ford is trouble in every sweet talk, sharp grins, and a knack for setting Arthur’s heart—and temper—on fire. When William joins the dig to make some quick cash, an ancient secret stirs beneath the sand along with feelings they both thought they’d left behind. It was one kiss after a long night; it meant nothing back then, it meant nothing now.Right?But the real danger isn’t just what’s buried in the sand, it’s how easily Arthur could fall for William all over again.

Itty Bitty Winnies 🏆✨

Happy Wednesday, Boundlings! 💜

I feel like society always focuses on the big wins, the all out effort, the productivity.

I want to hear your small wins, the ones that would go unnoticed as a win if you didn’t mention them.

Did you get out of bed this morning? Have the perfect amount of creamer left for you coffee? Did a stray cat meow at you and made you feel warm and fuzzy?

These are all wins! I want to hear your micro wins for the week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hopeless Necromantic

Shiloh Briar

Sticks and stones may break their bones, but he'll just resurrect them.Four years ago, Sikras 'Catseye' Nikabod had it all: a beautiful wife, friends and family, and the endless luxuries that came with being the all-powerful necromancer to the queen.Now, his brother-in-law is a walking corpse, he's wanted for tax evasion, his oldest friend, Vessik, has slaughtered thousands of the queen's people with a skeleton army, and his wife is dead. Sort of.With the kingdom under threat, it's only natural for the queen to task Sikras with the totally normal, not-at-all-cruel chore of brutally murdering his dearest friend. Sure. Great. It's not like he already failed to stop Vessik's reign of terror twice or anything.Turns out, it's hard to kill a monster when you can't stop remembering the good man he used to be. Harder still when you're pretty sure his descent into madness is kind of, sort of, hypothetically ... all your fault.Raise a glass. Raise the dead. Just don't raise your hopes.

Coming from Peachtree Teen in Fall 2026.

A Menagerie of Dragons (The Gilded Age of Dragons, #1)

Christina Baehr

Ormdale, Yorkshire, 1910 Una Worms thinks nothing of soothing a feverish wyvern or putting out a salamander fire, and she is never, ever late for tea. At only 19, the youngest daughter of England’s famous dragon-keeping family is also the one who keeps life at the Royal Menagerie of British and Foreign Dragons running smoothly. But when a mysterious villain infiltrates the menagerie—and even worse, Una’s prodigal sister Violet appears unannounced—Una’s tidy schedule is thrown into turmoil, and she will have to confront parts of her past that she would rather forget. Meanwhile, in London, restless suffragette Penny Fairweather stumbles across a story that could accelerate her journalistic ambitions—if her irritatingly mild-mannered civil servant brother keeps out of her way. But Crispin Fairweather has ambitions of his own. Drawn into a thrilling shadow-realm of espionage, he finds himself wondering just how far he will go to establish himself there—if his sister doesn't kill him first, that is. Next in the much-loved world of Wormwood Abbey and The Secrets of Ormdale comes a new series, The Gilded Age of Dragons, set in a dazzling era where motor-cars and airships compete with mythical creatures for the heart of a generation.

The mutual pining in this book is the stuff my fantasy romance dreams are made of. This is. So. Good. Welsh inspired setting, botanical magic, marriage of convenience, political intrigue, slow burn. Someone promise they're also going to read this so I know I won't be alone in this forever.

How is the dnf situation so far this year?

The title may give away that I’ve been recently dnf’ing a lot of books (some I didn’t log here lol) due many reasons, some are: uni- I don’t like the mc- the narrator is… hmm - HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE - what a problematic romance - even though I read most of the book I actually don’t care - dude can we get a change of scenery, why are you still describing this dude being on bed (petty reason ik, also a point for who know this book) etc… So I got curious, how many books have you guys already dnf’ed this year, and what are some of the reasons 👀?
