⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Devil Himself was undoubtedly my most anticipated dark romance of August. After the tailspin that was the world of Devil of Dublin I was so ready to come back to Glenshire— so much so that I didn‘t think to brace myself. By the end of chapter one my heart was on the floor and I found the mantra in the back of my mind being—In BB we trust ♾️—as I moved on to chapter two and beyond.

Finally getting my July Wrap Up posted. Took forever because I was fighting with my printer 🖨️ 🥊 Pretty surprised I only finished 5. July is usually one of my most productive reading months because of #ChristmasInJuly dissociation 😅 Last July I read 17. I think my distraction of choice this July was music and a spontaneous Nashville roadtrip. Maybe I can learn to love this horrid season one day. ⬇️

MatchlessMarie A Very Merry Bromance had to be my favorite but I adore the series and will never stop recommending it, probably. The Friend Zone was a should-have-DNF‘d book for me but sometimes you just need to watch the train wreck to its conclusion, you know? 💥🚂

Also look at all those squandered free spaces! I think for September I might go back to all my 2024 bingo cards and roll over all my unused freebies and just have a free for all #BookSpinBingo. 🤪

August #BookSpin / #BookSpinBingo

So when I grabbed some picture books from the library I hadn‘t realized that I actually already read my #BookSpin pic back in 2018, so it was a reread for me. Also I accidentally put Safe and Sound (by Mercury Stardust) on my list twice so instead of scratching it out I actually found another book with the same title that released this year (by Laura McHugh) 😂

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Love your improvises! 😂 1mo

I randomly found this at a dollar tree. Perfect for #ChristmasInJuly here are some of my favorites:

Q: How did the hipster end up in the lake?
A: He went ice-skating before it was cool.

Q: How do you find Will Smith in the snow?
A: Look for fresh prints.

Q: Why didn't Guns N' Roses make it to the winter gig?
A: Axl Froze.

My favorite part of Hanukkah is spinning the dreidel. That's just how I roll. I drop it like a top. ⬇️

SoI did end up finishing it. I am pretty good at DNFing when I am bored but when it‘s a train wreck sometimes it‘s hard to look away 🤣

This book unironically highlights the harm of the idolization of biological children IMO. As someone with PCOS who can certainly related to the struggles Kristen experiences with her cycle I was actually kind of excited to see this kind of representation in a FMC. ⬇️

MatchlessMarie It‘s just too bad that she ends up being so insufferable that I probably should have DNF‘d this book. She basically places the MMC‘s mention of a desire for biological children onto a pedestal in the stratosphere and pushes this idealized narrative even after he tells her otherwise. 2mo
MatchlessMarie To say nothing of the ending which even though, according to the author‘s note is based on true events, I feel that a lot of folks who struggle with infertility could take as a sucker punch. Also she did Brandon so dirty to advance the plot. I did enjoy the banter and some of the character development, but I really couldn‘t recommend this one. 2mo
MatchlessMarie Also Josh is a saint 😂. Am I going to probably read the next in the series to see what justice Sloan may have? Yeah, probably 🫣. (edited) 2mo
peanutnine Poor Brandon 😭😭 that plot twist was so unexpected 2mo

June Wrap Up. I think this was my least read month of the year so far. I think this is partially since I was focusing on my physical #Bookspin which I made a dent in but didn‘t finish. It‘s been a while since I‘ve read from my physical pile and it‘s tough to focus this time of year. I am still doing amazing on my goodreads goal though I am 25 books ahead of schedule somehow (74/100)😂

I apologize that I haven‘t been posting very consistently on here. But I wanted to pop in for an update. I did get to visit the Libros Book Lounge I posted about previously for the first time tonight and it was lovely. I wish I had gotten more photos to share, but the thing is… I‘m awkward and self conscious 😂 I loved it and I will be back. 🖤📖🦇

Ruthiella Sounds neat. Was it conducive to reading? 6mo
TheBookgeekFrau I just gave them a follow on ig - looks like a cool place!! 6mo
MatchlessMarie @Ruthiella I think so. There is music but it‘s not distractingly loud. The layout is not like an actual bar/lounge. It‘s literally a house that was converted. The backyard has picnic tables and there are several rooms that have different reading arrangements. So you can move to a more secluded spot if needed. But they do also offer wifi/board games/movies in a certain room. It‘s dim to match the vibe but there are reading lamps throughout. 6mo

Since the #ReadYourKindle numbers have been posted I can share my #BookSpin / #DoubleSpin picks for March since my DoubleSpin was a ReadYourKindle catch all category. I was so excited that Devil of Dublin was fated to be my BookSpin that I actually already finished reading it. Absolutely loved it. I will be buying a physical copy at some point because I need to own it. BB Easton is working on the sequel right now and I can‘t wait. 😈🇮🇪

What are the odds… I finally started this one and didn‘t realize there was a leap day reference in it 😆

monalyisha I think to determine the odds correctly, you have to divide by 4…but not if it‘s also divisible by 100 but *definitely* do so if it‘s divisible by 400. Or something like that. 😆 7mo
