The last half was a doozy. There was an ick factor just purely because of the reason for everything personally for me.

I LOVE JVN. He‘s so inspirational and he really tells his truth in this very open memoir. It‘s crazy how we are the same age and yet he has lived so much more than me. He had me laughing in the first chapter.

I loved Leah‘s candor and sense of humor while listening to the audiobook. She is flawed, knows it and lets others see it. She‘s a human being. I‘ve seen her A&E show as well and it‘s very eye opening to something I‘ve already known was a cult to me.

Page 2 is already laying down some truths

I like how descriptive the author was. It‘s almost like I could see the fabrics, the jewels and smell the food. Story dragged a bit here and there, but still a good read

Working on this before I sit down to watch the movie

Probably one of my favorite Kasie West books. It was very relatable for me as an artist when delving into the art world and trying it to find your way through the millions of other artists and to still keep your own voice. The ending was super sugary sweet. Sickly sweet, but just like the sugar addict I am, I‘m going to continue to read for more of it!

I needed something fun and cutesy to read to counter the The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Trying something a little different before I start my book club pick.

I enjoyed this version of Beauty and the Beast. There was even more backstory and magic, which I didn‘t think possible for this, but they pulled it off! Quick read, but I had to use a faster speed to get through all the pauses the reader used. #twistedfairytale #disney #asoldastime

Oh my heart. Such a wonderful book and a nice ending to the trilogy. Forever will be #TeamPeter.

This is the cutest goddamn thing ever!!

I almost didn‘t make my challenge for 2018. I had a lot of projects last year, but hopefully this year will be calmer. #ReadingChallenge2019

I‘ve never cried so much reading a book. I loved this book. It was so heartfelt and May‘s relationship with her father reminds me so much of my dad and I. I‘m glad I took off work today to finish this, because if I tried to finish this at work, my co-workers would think something horrible happened.

Also I need to find a man that is like Joe and Drew. So I guess I need a Polish American one??

I loved this book so much! I did the audiobook and Amy‘s witticism and sarcasm really come through a lot better when you hear it in her voice.

I‘m loving this audiobook so much! I love Amy and her audiobook is just as entertaining as she is!

Got my shipment from Out Of Print. Couldn‘t wait to wear my new Romeo & Juliet shirt! Thanks @outofprint ! My cat has already decided to lovingly put his hair on it already 🙄

I loved this book. The author has a way if providing vivid and engrossing descriptions to help create the foundation for her world. I‘m excited for the sequel! Spoiler below

Got some serious Joffrey Baratheon vibes from Princess Sophia.

Loving the descriptions and French comparisons to 18th century France but in a modern telling.

I loved this book! I watched the movie on Netflix awhile ago, but even before then I wanted to read this series. There were some things different than what the movie put in that helped shed light on certain aspects. I cannot wait to read the next 2 books!

I‘m such a Daddy‘s girl, so this part hit me hard.

I‘ve been wanted to read this series for awhile, before the Netflix movie. However, now that I‘ve seen the movie, and my love for Peter K (and coincidentally Noah Centeneo) have been cemented in my heart, I‘m starting to read this finally. I‘m still about 7 books shy of reaching my TBR goal of 35. I know that may not be a lot for some, but for someone that has ADD, that‘s a lot! I‘m so happy to be reading this now!

I enjoyed this book and did both the audiobook and regular book reading. It was a different take on Victorian era manners and proceedings in an alternate reality. I preferred listening to the audiobook because the narrator was able to bring the Victorian era into the book for me. Enjoyed that the author was able to also include the LGBTQ community in the series which led to its believability in a more modernized way.

Friday rainy listening is bringing it back to a childhood classic. I think I might want to watch the movie tonight. #Fridayfeels #goawayrain

Been so busy, haven‘t had the opportunity to read the physical book copy. Settling for the audiobook version from the library

Late night insomnia audio listening

Saturday plans of Apple cranberry oatmeal, some chill vinyl that I scored at Siren Records and about 10 pages from finishing up The Haunted and about to start on That Inevitable Victorian Thing. #goodvibesonly #saturdaychill

Lunch break reading... you know since it‘s daylight and it won‘t creep me out as much! 😱😳

Holy hell! Thank you for making me ugly cry and grab hold of my cat! I haven‘t let him go for 10 minutes and he‘s putting up with it. Wonderful story about how pets are so much more than animals. They really are family and the love shared and the willingness to do anything for them, well that‘s just something every pet owner can understand.

I did the audiobook of this. While I love Drew‘s enthusiasm as she is reading, her story was hard to follow. She jumped from story to story and it was not cohesive.
