It�s our last Whatcha Reading of 2023! Can you believe it?! Here�s what we�re reading right now:

�

Sarah: I started the The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport ( A | BN | K ) and it is terrific so far.

Shana: I just finished Love in the Liner Notes by Katta Kis. It gave me a taste for angst so I�m reading Unnatural Fate by JR Gray. ( A ) It�s a m/m fated mates romance between a werewolf and a vampire on opposite sides of a war. So far, there�s a lot of hate sex.

Sarah: You know like nine different people read �a lot of hate sex� and immediately opened a new tab.

A | BN | K

Sneezy: I fell HARD into Bad Decisions Book Club when I started Guardians of the Lamb. I skipped a bunch of chapters (there are 150+ and counting so far) and I still did next to nothing over the weekend. It�s a thriller mystery, there is so much violence, murder and mayhem, there�s memory loss and cults, the art blows my mind, it needs ALL THE CONTENT WARNINGS and I have such a massive book hangover already I�m still basically a zombie.

This is SO far outside my reading zone, I don�t know what the fuck I�m doing here. But it�s SO well done and I just HAVE to know what happens. It�s so good it beat out several webtoons I�ve been reading throughout the year for top three in my Best to Me in 2023 list.

Also this comic goes to show how bogus the no-sex rule is for phone apps. This webtoon is extremely violent, but because there�s no sex depected, it can be read on phone apps. I think stories like this with so much violence and gnarly content needs careful handling MUCH more than a fluffy smut.

Elyse: I�m currently in the midst of pre-holiday, down to the wire, gift knitting so I haven�t been reading much. I did listen to Hogfather by Terry Pratchett this weekend in the car on the way to and from family gatherings

Tara: I�ve been listening to The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte. I could do without some of his asides, but I�m learning a lot! It makes me want to go back to the dinosaur museum that�s a few hours away from me.

Sarah: Y�all have some SRS BSNS dinosaurs in Canada, too.

Tara: Oh for sure. And Alberta�s politics might suck, but our dinosaur museum is legit awesome and a must-see if you�re ever in the province.
