pickThis fairy tale gets increasingly darker in this instalment, with curses and bad luck and all manner of lies and tricks and pitfalls. Evangeline and Jacks seem truly doomed, which surely means they‘ll get their ever after? Maybe eventually…Garber keeps the tensions very finely tuned in this book, which speeds along at a far clip. I loved Evangeline‘s growth as a person, and didn‘t anticipate that final twist. Jumped right into the next book…
I #found a spine poem on my shelves:
Homebody life,
The knowing, trouble…
Kitchen table wisdom
in a special light.
Survival lessons
A tear and a smile
Man‘s search for meaning -
I‘d rather be reading

so-soGood recap at the beginning, which helped it‘d been a while since I read book 1. There was little action in book 2 until the end. Focus was the love triangle (love corner)& I don‘t like either option:the one she‘s fated to against her will or the forbidden love she wants
Alex has more time with her would be bfs because she‘s flunking training but then seriously injures someone with an apple, takes out trained guards & mythical beings
it‘s just 🙄
June‘s #bookspin I‘m keeping it more simple as I prepare to move. 1-10 and repeat the same books for 11-20. I may lean towards more audio than usual while I‘m packing. I hope I have time for all 3 of my book club books and one for #authoramonth, we‘ll see!

pick🌕 Red Rising is a total starburst of feels! 💥 I couldn‘t stop listening—Darrow‘s fire, the plot twists, the mission! 😱🔥 It‘s smart, bold, and weirdly cozy for a story about rebellion 😅. The world feels so now 🌍, and I kept thinking, “Why isn‘t this a movie yet?!” 🎬💫 More than sci-fi—it‘s heart, hope, and a howl for change 🐺❤️✨. OBSESSED.
so-soI don‘t know why I keep reading Blake—her endings always leave me frustrated. 😆

My daughter and I are continuing our reread of the #KOTLC series. We both love this series & I‘m here for anything that brings us both joy.
Books 4-6 reread. 💙💜💙
pickWhat a great surprise this book was!
I picked it up on a whim after falling in love with the cover and I am so glad I did!
Story, characters, world building and the back and forth between the two main characters were really well done. I loved that Bakewell gave us a few chapters of each perspective before switching which worked well with the flow of the story.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
