Currently reading. I wanted something gentle.

I have read 2 of the 3 books in this trilogy of stand-alone stories and liked them both.

I chose this to read for Halloween for my irl bookclub. It was a reread for me. Holy crap, I don't remember it being so creepy scary the first time I read it...and gave it 4 stars.

Enjoying the warm temps outside before the season cools down for good. Listening to either squirrels or birds scratching in a very tall tree next to me. Strawberry Acai Refresher by my side.

Louisa thought it might not go well, so she told her parents she was pregnant over the phone, from three thousand miles away, in San Francisco.

I have the idea that this may be my favorite book of 2025.

I do not care that I will probably end up eating this pumpkin cheesecake by myself.
And I do not care that I bailed on another book.
