A smoky reading Marathon.

This July day is filled with smoke from a forest fire that started yesterday afternoon. It is on 5% contained this morning and going strong. People are being evacuated and there is much fear in the air. A good day to stay inside and read.

I have joined in the fun of a reading marathon started on YouTube and it runs for the week. I have 5 TBR books and if I get 3 books read I will be happy. All of these book photos are from other sources around the web.

The First book is "Spellcasting In Silk" by Juliet Blackwell. A witch with a vintage clothing shop in San Francisco helps the police solve paranormal mysteries. This is one of many books I have read by this author and they are all fun to read. Since I was born in San Francisco I enjoy reading this witch series and all the references to the city. Lily, the witch, is a kind and loving witch.

2nd is "The Mediator 3" by Meg Cabot.  A YA book about a young girl also solving paranormal mysteries in Southern California.



3rd book is "Eighth Grade Is Making Me Sick" by Jennifer L. Holm. It a picture filled book sort of like a graphic novel but not in comic book form. The book is short and fun to read. Since I worked 8th grades for years it was a fun stroll down memory lane. The bookmark at the bottom is one I made for YA books I read.



4th book is "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown. I heard about this Dystopian novel on YouTube and enjoy a good Dystopian book.


5th book is "Death Rides the Zephyr" by Janet Dawson. this last book I just bought up at the Portola Train Museum. I like murder mysteries so thought I would try this out.
