I'm a stressed out mom that works way too much and uses reading as my escape time. I've been really enjoying picking up books that I know absolutely nothing about other than the title and giving it a go. This book roulette has been helping me push my boundaries and read books I likely never would have picked up before.
My rating system: (100% of my reading is through my library or online content, for reference) 5 - I absolutely loved it and will be buying a copy for my bookshelf! 4 - I really enjoyed this and will pick up a used copy from somewhere to share with others. 3 - This was pretty good, I can see why people like it. 2 - This just really wasn't quite for me. 1* - This should have been a DNF...

Breath, Warmth, and Dream was great!
I was a little concerned in the prologue, because it was written a little … enthusiastically for my taste, but it quickly settled down into a cozy-yet-dark fantasy in a novel setting.
My main (extremely minor) gripe is that the main protagonists are - definitely not one-dimensional, but maybe too perfect.
Anyway, go read Breath, Warmth, and Dream!
@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social I'm too stubborn to buy them lol. If it really bugs me, no one seems interested in the audiobook, so I can borrow that one, at least. I love the library, but dang can it be vicious when all your requests show up at the same time.

Didn't get to finish before the library loan was due back. Will continue when it's available again.

Starting the audiobook. Needing a little break from the history one. ^^;

This was a bit of a rough read for me due to the dog fights, but Ward has such a way with describing her characters and their emotions/thoughts. I would recommend this one because it really pulled me in and had me rooting for the family when Katrina was rolling in. But just make sure you're in a place to handle the animal violence/gore and the not-so-happy events that occur.
