Last night I loudly declared that I didn‘t care about anyone or anything and I was going on my porch to read. Cue the flooding rain that chased me back inside. Tonight I am whispering quietly that I am hiding from everyone and hoping the weather holds. Not tempting the fates tonight.
Current audiobook listen is Book 2 in the “Vampires Never Get Old” series 🧜♀️🌊

3.3⭐️ This book left me so confused, that I reached out to @Roary47 and asked her to pick it up and read it with me, which she absolutely did cause she‘s the best. In the end, it wasn‘t as bad as I thought it might be, but I think it could‘ve been better if it wasn‘t condensed into such a small book. The purpose behind it makes it worth a read, which is further explained in the afterword. This is my #BookSpin for #BookSpinBingo for June.
2✨ Let me start with the good. The afterword really brought what the author was going for to light. I think this was a beautiful imagining of the strong minds of women who had to face slavery while they were pregnant. Now with that said much of the story was confusing. Creating a world very unique in only a handful of pages was the main issue. I felt lost and questioned a lot. I‘m glad I read the afterword, but would have appreciated this sooner.
2.25⭐• Ursula‘s back story • with mentions of many other Disney characters •
•The only reason I picked this up was for the U character name to go in my A-Z book challenge, and there could‘ve been a decent story here for all I know. Unfortunately, the narration killed it for me. I disliked the accent, which, to be fair, is most definitely a me thing, but her voice tone was also horrendous. Her character voices were just a high-pitched mess.
