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. 1w
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. 1w
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) 1w
peanutnine Poor Brandon 😭😭 that plot twist was so unexpected 1w

I know we are already halfway through July but I finally made a bingo card. Technically the first one I have committed to my bullet journal for the year. I am unaware if I have gotten bingos from earlier months because I just haven‘t gotten around to tracking them. I will catch up eventually 😆 #BookSpinBingo

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)😂

Happy #AriMetDanteDay! Just as a reminder to any San Antonio littens, the movie is available to stream on Kanopy via mysapl but if your library uses Kanopy it‘s worth taking a look.

MatchlessMarie @peanutnine I kept looking for it when it first came out but it was only in select theaters nowhere near me and I never saw it streaming anywhere til recently. I really liked the adaptation. 1mo

A murdery audiobook needs a murdery @FrostbeardMPLS candle 🕯️ Nearly finished with this one and just how I felt when I read the first one I feel like I need more Australian author recs 😄

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. 🖤📖🦇

MatchlessMarie Their IG page has more photos @ libros_sa 4mo
Ruthiella Sounds neat. Was it conducive to reading? 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau I just gave them a follow on ig - looks like a cool place!! 4mo
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. 4mo

March picks #ReadYourKindle

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. 😈🇮🇪

CBee Awesome! Both of my spin picks were #readyourkindle choices 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5mo

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. 😆 5mo

This was announced in January but I haven‘t checked it out yet but it‘s a really awesome idea. Originally it was only open from 2-5am but hours have been extended. I wonder if there are any other Texan littens who have checked it out? Link to the original article below.

I finished the Improbable Meet Cute series this morning. This is my ranking 1 being my favorite and 6 being my least favorite. I wouldn‘t say any of these stories were terrible though. I also love how there is a reference to a character from book 1 in book 6 but none of these stories are actually interconnected and can be read in any order. #ReadYourKindle #SeriesLove2024 #ReadAway2024

Finished my 2nd book for #AuldLangSpine. This one is short but was so moving and powerful. It feels heavy but in the way that a weighted blanket feels. I can see myself recommending this one a lot. Reads as a poetry memoir of sorts with lots of self-healing. I think anyone would benefit from reading it, but perhaps especially those who have experienced their own crisis of faith. ⛪️🏳️‍⚧️ #ReadAway2024

MatchlessMarie Also the transition tone on the audio reminded me of the intro to Infinitely Ordinary by The Wrecks which kind of fits in with the tone of the book. Check it out 💜 https://open.spotify.com/track/2IWWOWS7n00wpz1ewqEC8w?si=I-ygH9xMQRWgX0pA6YJ0Zw 6mo

Finished this audio on Tuesday. Blue Nose Audio production value is *chefs kiss*. I have been wanting to branch out a little more since I don‘t usually read books with fantasy elements in them. This one was great for someone like me who finds books like that intimidating to start. This is the first of a trilogy so adding on to the #SeriesLove2024 pile. Book 2 is already queued up for February if I can wait that long 😂 #ReadAway2024
