pickWhen Lorna‘s job makes her take a sabbatical to work on her anger, she‘s forced to slow down &start reconciling her childhood &her work on forgiveness.
I loved so much about this book. Lorna was so relatable &real. She‘s flawed & broken yet as she works through healing, you see her strength shine through too. The side characters were well-developed & the perfect complement to Lorna. The story is a perfect blend of emotions, humor, & depth.

pickWilmur & Viola‘s boring life gets interrupted when a mysterious person crashes through their front door. Everything about her screams danger, but the 2 children are willing to trade anything to try & get away from the island. & so they meet pirates, royalty, & secrets.
Loved it! Characters were all engaging, pacing was great, world building was wild. My only complaint is that the end is less cliffhanger & more cut off in the middle.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Next up is an #arc from #netgalley that I‘m finally getting around to.
This was also my June's #bookspin pick.
After DNFing Isola (I could not handle the suffering), I was happy to be given the opportunity to read Goodman‘s upcoming novel, and I can already tell you this is going to be a win with me. Loving this messy family story! #arc

pickHekate was the child of Titans, abandoned to the Underworld when her parents lose the war against the Olympians. Her growth into her powers as a Goddess will shape the future of Olympus, the Underworld, & all of Earth.
The goddess of crossroads & magic shows us a powerful story of making one‘s place in the world. Through a fusion of poetry & prose we get to see Hekate take control of her destiny in the face of the world telling her no.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
so-soGreat fall vibes and a fun setting, but I wanted a little more depth to the story. For me, it relied a bit too much on steam and not enough character development. I did like the setting and the friends that are family. This is been out for nearly a month and if you are looking for a pumpkin flavored, writer meets billionaire insta-love romance, this may be the one for you. 3rd #ARC down! #NGGReadathon #netgalleygroup @AllDebooks
pickThis cozy romance feels like a Hallmark movie, a warm sweater, and a pumpkin spiced latte all rolled into one. It gave me all the fall feels even though it is 91 degrees here in TX. I really enjoyed it and recommend you give it a try and cuddle into this warm hug of a book. Released on Sept 8, thanks to #netgalley for the #ARC #netgalleygroup #NGGReadathon @AllDebooks
