Captivatedbybooks @Gissy lol i probably gifted it for you. I always include this book in the Halloween swaps 5d
Gissy @Captivatedbybooks Maybe, in the past I didn‘t write where the book was coming from, a swap, purchased my me or gift. I‘m doing that for each new book I acquire. 5d

@JamieArc i am so sorry that it‘s been recently sent out. why I thought the date was October 10 and not the 1st. I forgot to post but it is out and i paid extra with UPS to try and do everything possible so it gets there by Monday at the latest. Again I am sooo sorry, it‘s not fair to you to wonder if you‘re getting a box and that was never my intention. Ive never not sent a box or sent it late so i feel really bad. #FFFS #fallingforfallswap

So I received this package today. I was so confused (i am alil tipsy). I asked my mom whose package and she says “your‘s” and i said “no it‘s not i havent order anything”. She says “it has your name on it I checked. It‘s coming from NJ”. Still very much confused i opened the box and when I saw pumpkin paper i slammed it shut lol. I did sneak my hand in (i didnt open anything) and grabbed the letter that says it‘s a swap package but i didnt

Captivatedbybooks See the handle so im not sure which swap it‘s for and who sent it lol 2w

Captivatedbybooks @thebacklistbook okay that‘s what i thought maybe it was. But now i think its probably the falling for fall swap. I‘ll have my mom keep an eye open for the 2nd box. 2w

Book 30 of 2024: This book is a Whodunit easy read. I give it 🌟🌟🌟/5 because it reminded me too much of a teen sitcom then an adult book. A story plot you could probably find on Archie or Clarissa Explains It All kinda deal. Book 2 of #CBBC this will be mailed out Monday. Sorry about the delay.

Book 27 to 2024: When I go to recommend this book to my friends I will definitely say it's a spicy rom-com! It was cute, it had charm and spice! Really GOOD spice! The story is about two strangers who decide to make a vacation fling more than just a vacation fling. The character building is perfect, the story plot keeps you engaging. I also loved that it just wasnt about sex. There was meaning and a story behind it. ⤵️

Captivatedbybooks The story for the most part is actually believable. I also enjoyed being able to relate to the FMC as I too am a full size woman. Please check the trigger warnings before reading as the story does touch on DV, LGBTQ+ and RH. 3w

Book 22 of 2024: And she does it again making me want to just jump into a book and actually live it. I love the "hear me roar" theme this books has and the "women are more then just pretty things". I have never read anything by Makayla Wheland before this book series and I am now a fan for life. Her world building and writing just sucks you right up and doesnt release you. I have withdraw from this series and need book 3 to be out yesterday! ⤵️

Book 21 of 2024: Have you ever wanted to just jump into a book and actually live it? This book makes you do want that, it makes you need to feel the fire lick at your fingertips. I have never read anything by Makayla Wheland before this book series and I am now a fan for life. Her world building and writing just sucks you right up and doesnt release you. I have withdraw from this series and need book 3 to be out yesterday! ⤵️

Captivatedbybooks Her writing just consumes you. You literally do not need to do anything but allow yourself to be swept away in this believable fantasy book. Also what I loved about this series is that sometimes when your a fantasy addict like me the themes start to all blend together and repeat. 3w
Captivatedbybooks You start to see alot of similarities between them, not with this series. The fantasy concept is there but I thought of no other book series while reading this one. I only wanted to focus on this world, on Ember and her found family. 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 3w

Book 20 of 2024: This book is a perfect night in reading book but with that being said please read the trigger warnings. There are topics in this book that are not "lite topics", I cannot stress that enough. It grabs your attention with the opening of the FMC who has been kidnapped and is being abused until she gets rescued. The characters are enjoyable, it's an easy to read and follow. ⤵️

Captivatedbybooks The book is engaging and keeps your attention up until the last page. I will definitely be keeping a look out for book 2 because I want to see where this story goes. Although I enjoyed the book, I gave it 3 stars because there were parts that I felt something was missing. Maybe some background information/world building as some activities that happened in the book felt a little rushed. 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 🌟🌟🌟/5 3w

book 16 of 2024: Perfect weekend read with the right balance of humor, spice and heartfelt moments. Although this book is the 3rd in a series, it can be read as a standalone. I loved how the FMC Scarlett was portrayed realistically. Also the theme of strong people need those they can lean on and it's okay was expressed and touched on perfectly. It is an enemies to lovers and billionaire meets common girl story. Does touch up on adoption.

At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair, But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare. By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet, But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat. For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow, When I kill, I do it slow …

Book 6 of 2024: I really wanted to like this book but I had a hard time getting into it. The plot and character is not bad but it's definitely fiction. I understand I am reading a paranormal/fantasy book but atleast it can be kinda believable. I could see how things were going to play out well before it ever happened. Very predictable. I did enjoy the one characters who was hysterical.
