5/5 ⭐️ I think this is my favorite Chloe Gong book so far! Sad I missed the end of the "real time" discussions with the #chloegongreadalong but I'll be there for the next one!
3.75/5 ⭐️ Graphic novel about a toxic relationship and important friendships. Great character development!
3.25/5 ⭐️ simple picture book from a child's perspective in a Thai refugee camp. I appreciated the author's note at the end about her family.

5/5 ⭐️ I read this when everything was stressful in my life and it was exactly what I needed. Cute, cozy, and delicious!
4.5/5 ⭐️ Samantha Irby is hilarious! This was the second book of hers I read and is now an auto buy author. One of the stories I had to share with my husband and we were both cackling! I bought her new one so hopefully I'll get to it soon.
3.75/5 ⭐️ #FoodandLit Syria
I enjoyed the dual storylines, especially the fantastical elements.
I'm super behind on reviews, so expect a bunch of posts

Y'all I can't make this shit up! 😭
Today I fell down the stairs and badly rolled my ankle. Thankfully it's not broken but I'm in a soft cast and have crutches. I'm so tired and overwhelmed with everything that keeps happening. I need some calm and peace.

Life update:
Thank you for all the well wishes for Link! He is home & doing well! Unfortunately a few days ago I sat on an old wooden chair & it broke & a rod punctured my leg. I am sore but managing. We are currently visiting family in WI so not being home makes things more stressful. Also a day before we left I had to go to the ER b/c of bad pain from passing a kidney stone.
⬇️
Please keep my precious baby Link in your thoughts. We had to rush him to the emergency vet today due to a urinary blockage. He has to be hospitalized for the next few days. We're so worried but remaining hopeful that he'll be OK! 😭
4/5 ⭐️ Cute story and loveable characters! Definitely need to read Nina Hill as Nina and Polly were my favorite characters! #sundaybuddyread

February's choice was easy, but between the 2 months was more difficult. In the end my fantasy loving heart won out ✨ #2023readingbracket
5/5 ⭐️ I loved this book! I love Acevedo's writing style and how beautiful some of the passages are. I ended up tabbing a bunch of them. I think she's become an auto buy author for me

This is always such a tough question for me cause I would much rather go into a story then have the characters come into my world lol
But I think hanging out with the characters from Heartstopper would be cute and fun! I'd order a bunch of food and we could watch movies and play games. Oh and I'd take them to my favorite local cafe and we'd all get fun drinks and pastries. 🥐🧋

I made a chimi burger for #FoodandLit Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 It was very tasty and large lol
4/5 ⭐️ I liked this book overall, but I guess I don't see it sticking with me for awhile. Loveable characters though! #sundaybuddyread
4.5/5 ⭐️ I felt very seen as a fat woman in this memoir/essay collection. As someone who initially started gaining weight as a child because of being on steroids for months on end for my asthma I related to her chronic illness and weight struggles.

Thank you so much Sarah!!! I'm absolutely in love with the mug! It's perfect! 🥰 I can't wait to try the tea too! Thank for being a great swap partner! 💕

My huge birthday book haul!! My husband let me loose in Barnes and Noble and said get whatever you want! Perfect end to my birthday week! 🎉💖🥰
2.75/5 ⭐️ I really expected more from this book. I felt like the book moved so slow and then the ending was just rushed in a few pages and seemed abrupt. Also it was just overall sad. I did appreciate this immigrant perspective though. #FoodandLit 🇩🇴
P.S. Zola wanted to show off her fresh haircut! 💖
1. The tagged was boring and way too long. Normal people was terrible characters and writing. Hated the writing style too.
2. Anything by Grady Hendrix or Riley Sager. Really any book that is mainly thriller or horror I'm just not a fan of. I read southern book club's guide to slaying vampires and ugh, I was just mad and disgusted the whole time.

Ended my lovely birthday with some strawberry cheesecake my husband made! 🍓
Joining in on the #fabulousfebruary readathon! 💕

🎂Dearest Josephine #sundaybuddyread
🎂Dominicana & Clap when you land #FoodandLit

Another adorable valentine arrived! ❤️ Thanks Chelsea!

January was not a good month for me so I didn't get to do much for #LitsyCrafters
I created a page in my journal to write and doodle some ideas. The only thing I made was this Barbie cassette sticker. My sister and I used to jam to this cassette when we were little 😂 I found the image and turned it into a sticker. 💖
Hopefully February will be better for my crafting!
I made katogo for #FoodandLit Uganda 🇺🇬 It's a potato and bean stew. Purple and regular sweet potatoes. Perfect for a chilly day but I prefer other stews to this one
I saw so many people do this last year and I was sad I didn't participate, so I'm not missing out this year!! I had 3 five ⭐️ reads this month but I'm a sucker for fantasy so this was my favorite!
Thanks for making the bracket @chasjjlee
