#jolabokaflodSwap is sent out and on its way!! I received @Avanders package Wednesday, can‘t wait to open it!

I‘ve heard nothing but great reviews from her other books, but I definitely shouldn‘t have started with this one. It‘s obvious this was meant for BookTok audience, using ACOTAR references to describe characters, forced TikTok language and trend references. Every time I felt the relationship was building and gaining interest another problem was thrown in that, maybe because of the time jumps, it felt unresolved and rushed

Think I‘ve entered my cozy mystery era right in time for fall. Both books were fun and easy to relax and immerse yourself into. Shady Hollow had a slower pace and less threat to the main character, so a little more cozier vibe. Definitely going to finish both series

June was a better reading month. Caught up to my reading goal, reorganized and took inventory of all my kindle, audio, and physical books. Have enough to do both #Bookspin and #ReadYourKindle challenges. So back at it with my picks for July, mix of Kindle and Audiobooks 🎆

Snow day protocol activate

#snowday #tacobell

Surprised myself and finished #bookspin and #doublespin books🎉 Gonna try again jn February but since it‘s so short, won‘t feel too bad if I don‘t

I want DNF so bad, but I‘m noise and not a quitter.
None of the characters really had a distinctive voice It sounds like Agnes is narrating most of the time, and I had go back a few pages when I realize it‘s Stephanie or Mai.I don‘t even remember what they look like until Victor showed up and they had to point out that he was “Black and from New York.”

#TBR tower coming together

This year I‘m trying to go through all the books I‘ve been hoarding on my Kindle and Audible with 10 picks from Kindle and 10 audiobooks. Also try to hold off buy more for a while hoping this with keep me distracted🤞🏾. Free spaces will be Libby holds

@Chrissyreadit thank you so much! It was so fun opening everything sent! I loved killer gingerbread man and the ornaments, i will use them as bookmarks until next Halloween and Christmas 🎄 👻. #creepychristmas #cc

Received and sent out my Creepy Christmas box Friday. Can‘t wait to open it!!

@teebe

#cc #litsyswap #creepychristmas

I‘ve read 3 books back to back where I‘ve hated the main character so much I wanted to DNF the whole book. The storylines had so much potential but I didn‘t care, I don‘t want to listen to this person talk any more. I‘m scared for the next one🤷🏾‍♀️

Thank you @LeshaMac ! Finally get to open my #BlitsySwap box #bhm #blitsy

Is sitting in your car outside your apartment for 40minutes the audiobook equivalent to “I couldn‘t put it down”?

Got back into reading this year. This is the most I‘ve read in 3yrs. Set a goal for 2 books a month and been to keep it up pretty well thanks to audiobooks and being able to get to Kindle Cloud on work computers. Got a long travel day,flying cross country, so hopefully I can knock out the last two 🤞🏾

I was very underwhelmed by this one. It had a lot of potential to be a really good story but there was no time I was really interested/concerned about the couple. I loved Avery‘s story and her practice methods but we didn‘t really get to see most of them play out because everything came out pretty quickly and easily. None of the twist or events were really attention grabbing the end and even that worked itself out pretty quickly.

Debating if I should fly back home just to go

So here‘s my picks so far. There may be another one if I can get it in time if not that ok I‘m pretty excited about these. Have you read any of them already? Which one jumps out to you? #lmpbc #groupG

Never fallen in love with a book store until now

First thing you do after moving to Hawaii?
Find the nearest library

I was hoping this would be my gateway into to liking Romance novels. Started out great, loved Nik and Carlos‘ characters, but the story couldn‘t keep my attention long enough to want to finish. A little to hallmark and predictable for me. I‘ll definitely give it another shot later.

The park near me finally got one!!! #littlefreelibrary #Nc

Northern Littens, please send more snow so I can finish this book 🙇🏾‍♀️I need one more snow day!!! #lmpbc #snowday #dont #want to #go #to #work

So October was a reeeaaally slow month. Just when I thought I had time to read something else came up. Plus I might have been a little too ambitious and books stores had too many sales. #octoberreads

Starting Halloween off a new favorite! #Screamathon

I want to like this book but I can‘t read it without hearing my English teacher correcting me all the time

#grammarmatters #isthatcorrectgrammer ? #itsoundswrong #icant

Treating myself to sushi after passing my Servsafe final. Needed a break from cramming 15 chapters in my head. Started reading Betty Neels as a gateway into the romance genre, and it just so happened to be set in October #dinnerandabook

Got into photography in the seventh grade because of a school project and loved it ever since. I‘m also getting a degree in culinary arts, not as passionate about it as photography but eating and learning is great 👍🏾 #nonreadingpursuits #uncannyoctober

Had to jump on the #Bitmoji train. I love using her every chance I get

My #TBRbingo for October so far. Still need one more book for #screamathon and have to choose #botm pick but it‘s a pretty good list. #currentread #riotgram #ApologyReadalong
