It was pretty cute and sweet. I thought the family dynamic was interesting on the male mcs side.

I really liked this. It had some magical parts in it as well but a good kind. It‘s also dual perspective about twins who are colored but one is able to pass for white, never realizing the truth until her grandmother passes.

“For colored girls, there‘s no such thing as happily ever after”. Yikes. I know this book is set during the 50‘s, but I‘m glad some things have changed since then.

I‘m reading this as well. Hopefully it‘ll be good

My current read

Just finished it and it was really good and sweet. It was set during the holiday season, but I could see reading this anytime during the winter season.

The first book I‘ve officially finished in 2023, and I flew right through it. It was pretty good, first one was better but overall I liked it. I wish we got to see more of how death cast worked besides calling people to inform them of their imminent death

I always get confused about the shelved part. Does that mean 751 shelved it in 2022 or 751 shelved total

First read of 2023

Last read of 2022

Halfway in and it‘s ok. Learning more about Jewish culture and other things from it.

4 books in November. Defy the night was a reread

Just finished. It was ok. I flew through it pretty quickly and it had some messages about grief and love. Basically girl falls in love with not necessarily a bad boy, just one who‘s not ok mentally

My last read of November

I finished this a lot faster than I thought I would. It was pretty good but I wish the last book was out because this book ends in a cliffhanger.

Tonight I start the sequel

Finally finished this. It was definitely creepy at times and I didn‘t really expect the twist but it makes sense looking back.

Rereading this before I read the sequel. Sometimes I wish there was a site I could use to read a quick recap.

Just 3 books last month. Didn‘t really have a favorite

My last read of October.

Finished this a couple days ago. Thought it was ok but I don‘t think I‘m picking up the sequel. I‘ve already read spoilers for the next book and i don‘t think I‘ll like it too much.

Just finished and it was pretty good. Not sure if I‘m gonna pick up the sequel. I might tho

My next read

Just finished this and it was kinda meh. The story was interesting and kinda fitting for this time of year. We even get a small romance for Stella at the end, although I don‘t feel like it made much sense to me tbh.

Just finished and it was pretty good. I liked the main character and her journey. The love story was ok, but not sure if i entirely buy it.

My tbr for October

What I‘m reading

Finished this last night. Was ok.

90ish pages in and I already have a theory. Don‘t spoil me if I‘m right or not please, but I‘m wondering if Poppy and Ellie are related somehow. Obviously not the same person but 🤔

My current read. Also it‘s from #13 of #bookspin

It was pretty good. I thought the alternating chapters between mother and daughter was a good way to tell the story. I liked the the daughter for the first half of the book.

I might not be a mom myself but I feel like this is a pretty naive way to think and the 16 year old girl is showing her age lol. A baby isn‘t going to wait patiently to get his poopy diaper changed

My pick for #20 for #bookspin. Happy with myself for actually reading both this month. @TheAromaofBooks

With fall starting up soon, good time to start reading all the horror and spooky books

Just finished. It was ok but I didn‘t really get too into it. It seemed to go too fast for me and I just didn‘t feel too invested in the story.

First read of September. Also from shelf #17, which is one of the #bookspin picks this month that is being hosted by @TheAromaofBooks

It was a pretty fun read. Kind of like a Christmas carol, but one not set at Christmas. It‘s also a bit short but that‘s good.

My wrap up for august

Last minute read of august

Finished this and I have meh feelings about it. The characters feel immature at times and have a silly rivalry going that ended going in the direction I thought it would.

Wasn‘t really a huge fan of this one as much as her other works. The story is pretty atmospheric and doesn‘t drag, but it just lacks something for me.

Finished this a couple days ago. It was a fun read for the most part, but so many people to keep track of. And one disaster after another Kept befalling the wedding, but luckily it seems Charlie was able to figure things out. Love the family dynamics too.

Gonna start this soon

Excited to start this. Meant to do it in June but now is a good time too

Finished. It was a short fun read. It went in the direction I thought it would but in a good way. Now to read the last book in this series.

I just finished this and it was pretty good. I‘m glad I read this series as it was fun.

All the books I‘m unhauling tommorow. 1 is for the ones I‘ve read. 2 is for the ones I‘m no longer interested in. 3 is for ones I‘ve DNFed and 4 is for ones I‘ve decided to either borrow or do ebook/audiobook copies just to save one shelf space.
