I really enjoyed this one. It was a nice break from ACOTAR. I checked it out from the library and stayed up late tonight to finish it. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was how several of the characters called each other “baby”… that‘s just a me thing, though. I‘ve never really been all that keen on that particular term of endearment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

CaliforniaCay The "baby" thing is one of my pet peeves! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one annoyed by that because it is so common to hear these days ? 2d

For #HyggeHour and #LitSolace, here are pics of the 2 tables next to me. I took the daytime pic earlier today. It‘s dim there after dark, so you get a well lit pic instead. The other pic is of my poetry gargoyle. He reads and writes with me. Something about his stare motivates me. I‘m not sure why. I had mint gluten free Oreos as a snack along with a can of seltzer water. Happy Sunday everyone! 📚🌙🤍✨

I love this cover! Up next because I don‘t have that many more days before my loan ends, and I‘ll need to return it. #CoverCrush

I love Abbi Waxman. Her humour really shone in this one but there were some great moments of vulnerability, too.

Library book 1/3 for #AwesomeApril

I loved this. It's like most of the author's books I have read in that you get sucked into the characters and it feels like a nice warm hug. Highly recommend.
