I assembled the booknook all by myself (my first one!)
Sparking so much joy😍
I have two more booknooks and more Japanese books, so there is a vision for the whole shelf (3 levels)🤭

Had to dash out from work for a blood test mid-morning & as it was nearing lunch & I was hangry, I grabbed a poke bowl. Then the rain started & I sat in my car & ate it while listening to the tagged book for #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent The down side of the audiobook is that there are only 7 chapters so they don‘t line up with the print book. 🤦🏻♀️ Using Google Books “Look Inside” I found I got a bit past Chapter 4 so I‘m caught up to today. 😆
#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.3-4: I‘m not certain I like Courtney yet. Even if she thinks she‘s in a dream, she‘s still a bit callous about everything. Like wanting to see who she assumes is her lower class lover - as a Jane Austen reader she should know how truly scandalous that would have been - a major no-no. She shouldn‘t find it amusing or be too blasé about it. Must be she doesn‘t realize the true consequences of her actions yet.
I have been listening to this for #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent #BuddyRead. I can‘t believe it‘s rated so low here on Litsy. The things that were the worst were the filthy waters at Bath, a doctor who doesn‘t wash his hands and forces bleeding on our heroine while she is held down by a maid, and an unloving, even evil mother who threatens to have her own daughter locked away in an insane asylum. I like the fantasy elements, which might (cont)⬇️
This was nothing like what I expected and I ended up really enjoying it. It wasn‘t very Christmassy but it was somewhat twisty and kept me listening to see how the story would unfold and then wrap up. Very light romance, which I enjoyed since I‘m not a huge romance reader, and a solid read. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #wintergames #SantasBookshELVES
#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.1-2: ooh what a great start - albeit a terrifying one. There‘s something really gruesome about 19th century medicine. How helpless were you to a doctor‘s whims, especially if you were a woman? Jane, or rather Courtney, had better learn to play the game quickly or else find herself in a madhouse 😳
**my brother got me a kindle so I‘ve been blowing through some books without reviewing, apologies up top for the inundation of reviews by me and terrible pics**
This was a reread- I ADORE this book. It‘s creepy and confusing and it was a perfect read during the Halloween season. Highly suggest picking it up if you haven‘t 5⭐️
Casey loves a good dissolute lounge in the morning, and I‘m loving this book so far. It‘s packed full of STYLE from a bunch of different angles, with the kind of clear, punchy prose that practically reads itself. I‘m hoping for more time with it tonight.
