I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book!

Going into the book, I wasn‘t quite sure how I would like it. I love graphic novels but sci-fi is often a hit or a miss for me. This one was a hit!

I don‘t want to give away too much of the plot, since it‘s more fun if you go into it blind.

The Siren and the Star | Colby Cedar Smith

What a beautiful novel in verse!

This book tells the story of two young women in two different timelines. The first is Lula, a present day young vocal prodigy studying at a music conservatory. The other is Barbara Strozzi, a 17th century Italian servant turned composer who was a real person. Both storylines were compelling and I loved how they merged!

Getting back into my #audiocrochet habit lately. I've missed combining two of my favourite things, reading and crocheting 📚 🧺 ❤️

KadaGul Work has been hectic lately, and balancing work and life feels like a distant dream. 1w
ShyBookOwl @KadaGul I'm sorry. It is very hard to balance responsibilities and fun/hobbies. Hang in there! 1w
Sace I‘ve been trying to do the same. Even if it‘s just a short chapter a day. By the time it cools off here my socks (knit) and cardigan (crochet) will be done. 1w
ShyBookOwl @Sace That's perfect timing! 1w

Eat Dessert First | Michelle Paris

This was a sweet romance with a lot of heart.

The story is about Abbey, a plus sized architect turned baker, and her journey towards love and self acceptance. I loved that the book explored deeper topics like fat shaming and aging parents. Caring for an ailing parent is a very common thing these days, but I rarely see it depicted in books.

This was such a cute fall romance set in Scotland!

First off, the vibes are immaculate. It took place during autumn, so it gave off super cozy fall vibes. It was also set in a small town in the Scottish Highlands, which added to the dreamy coziness.

The romance was adorable. I loved Harper and Fraser, both separately and as a couple. I found them both endearing.

This book was just as cute as the first one!

I read the first Winnie the Pooh book 2 years ago and was obsessed. I am so glad I got around to reading the sequel. It had all the charm of its predecessor. Pooh and all his friends were (still) so adorable. In this story, we are finally introduced to Tigger. Tigger was an absolute delight.

JenlovesJT47 @willaful yes exactly! It‘s the same with reading Elin Hilderbrand books set in Nantucket. All the places she talks about are real restaurants and stuff. It‘s on my bucket list to go there with my sister. ♥️♥️♥️ But NYC is something special. I feel like I‘ve been there so many times. 3w

This was by far the best book in the trilogy!

Having read this before season 3 came out, I had limited knowledge on the plot line and went into this with few expectations.

Everything worked so well in this one. The book had the perfect amount of drama and suspense that the conclusion to the series needed.
