Oh, the FEELS. So, so, so many feels. I‘m sorry it had to end.
1. In the Dream House (Machado)
2. The Bear and the Nightingale (Arden)
3. Getting bombarded with pictures of my adorable nephew pupper. ❤️

Autocorrect just changed audiobook to “ideal baby” and I feel very seen. 😂 I had the tagged book checked out as an ePub book but I found out for me with ebooks it‘s gotta be Kindle or nothing so I‘m gonna finish with the audio version. It‘s very good so far. #WinterGames #TheFilthyAnimals #TBRread
pickAdriana Herrera's characters are so alive, their stories seem to leap off the page, fully rendered and ready to be your next favorite romantic movie. But better, because it's a book! Nesto and Jude are sweet enough to give you cavities and spicy enough to make you fan your face. Be prepared for intense cravings while you read! The food in this book will make you HUNGRY! And be ready to cry, and laugh, and grin like an idiot while you're reading!
November recap—33 books & comics. Favs: In the Dream House was hands down my favorite—powerful, lyrical, & really all the things. Machado is fast becoming an automatic buy for me. Loved Rogue Protocol & Murderbot! An Unkindness of Ghosts was very good once I got into it. The Toll was a fitting, very good conclusion to the Arc of the Scythe trilogy, I liked Our Dark Duet even better than the first book & Monstress just gets better & better.
November Roundup Part Two: In the Dream House is one of my best of the years, for sure. I liked everything else in this bunch except I found The Wolf Wants In to be pretty slow and boring and not worthy of the hype that‘s built around it. I‘m also finally caught up to my goodreads goal and only need six books to make it to 115!
