‼️BIG NEWS‼️
I'm moving to Mississippi in December! My husband finished up his PhD this fall and was offered a post-doc with the Army Corp of Engineers in Vicksburg,MS. I'm nervous but, also excited for this new adventure. I've never lived in the south before so if you have any tips, recommendations, or must-visit places let me know!

Thank God for the library! I so badly wish I could buy this book but, I just don't have the money to do so right now. So very happy that my library had it when I walked in!

2/5 ⭐️s I probably would have given up on this book if it wasn't for my local book club. So many parts dragged on when it could have been so much shorter. Very different from the stories and movies you get about Frankenstein though.

My Book of the Month picks for November!

3.5/5 ⭐️s It took about 2/3 through the book for me to be invested in the story. But the ending definitely was a surprise! One thing I didn't like was the fat shaming in the beginning of the book.

❤️ Houghton, MI in the upper peninsula. But it looks like I'll be moving at the end of the year

4.5/5 ⭐️s Loved reading from the perspective of a psychopath. I hated all the characters, not because they were poorly written (in fact the opposite), but because they were trash people. So pretentious and disturbing. Excited to read the sequel!

October's Book of the Month pick is here!
#botm

4/5 ⭐️s Perfect witchy October read! While some stories were just OK, a lot of them were quite interesting and entertaining! Many of them I would love to have full sized novels of! Also enjoyed the LGBTQ characters and strong feminism in the stories.

Halfway through these witchy short stories 🔮 Some of them are quite interesting!

Started this for #nwc and I'm already sucked in! I watched the show last year and loved it! Excited for season 2 coming in December!

#novelwatchingcrew

My pick for October's Book of the Month!

Thank you so much @Laughterhp 🥰 Everything is so wonderful! I've already used the cat pens and broken into the candy! I'm so excited to read these spooky books and use the book marks! Perfect way to start October! 🎃

I'm halfway through this and not invested in any of the characters. Just not interesting to me right now. Plus the way the characters talk about fat people really disgusts me. It's a DNF for me.

1. I started at 24, since last year I read 19 books, but I passed that early on so I changed it to 40 books. Now I'm at 41 books! So I'd say it's going well 😆
2. I have a tattoo on my shoulder of stars and the word dream
3. Rock/alternative and pop
4. June is my wedding anniversary
5. 🙌🏼💕🙌🏼

5/5 ⭐️s Margaret Atwood has done it again!! Absolutely phenomenal! I was very worried that this sequel would not live up to the hype and would tarnish my opinion of The Handmaid's Tale. Thankfully, it only added to my love of this story. It shows a more in depth look at Gilead through the perspective of three different women. While the subject matter was very heavy at times, I still found it quite enjoyable. I'll definitely be buying this one!

I've made a nice cup of tea and now I'm ready to finish these last 100 pages

Oh happy Fall! Thank you so very much @ferskner 🥰 I love everything! The whole box smells perfectly of autumn! I've already dived into the candy! The Maple Pecan coffee smells absolutely amazing! I love maple! 🍁The pin and bookmark are adorable! Tigers are my favorite animal! 🐅 The books are awesome and I especially can't wait to implement hygge into my life more! 😊 Thank you again for this terrific cozy box! 💕

4.5/5 ⭐️s I throughly enjoyed this classic! Six years after the death of their family, Mary Katherine and Constance receive a visit from their cousin that disrupts their routine. Even though I still have questions this story kept me intrigued til the end.

3.5/5 ⭐️s While I love how Agatha Christie weaves her stories I did predict this one early on. It just didn't keep me on my toes like her other works have. Still a nice cozy mystery though!

These arrived yesterday!!

Anyone watching the democratic debate tonight?

5/5 ⭐️s Such a cute and quick read! Deja and Josiah are working their last night at the Patch before college. Their night is filled with fall fun and snacks! A perfect autumn read that has me wishing there was a place like this near me! 🎃

5/5 ⭐️s This was a great ending to a cute series! There were many "squeal worthy" moments between Peter and Lara Jean. I'm glad I have the Netflix movies to look forward to now!

Can't believe The Testaments was just sitting there when I walked in the library today! I, of course, snatched it right up! I feel so lucky to be the first to check out both of these books! 😍🙌🏼

Book of the Month has arrived! I knew the Goldfinch was a big book, but I did not realize how big! 😱 That book will be quite the undertaking! 😬😳
#botm

5/5 ⭐️s I absolutely adored this book! I am absolutely smitten with Baz and Simon! I especially love how sassy Baz is! I need more and am definitely looking forward to the sequel coming out later this month!

Busy #audiobaking today! Made my Grandma's custard bars! Normally she makes them with rhubarb but with the autumn season having arrived here, I went with apples and cinnamon. 🍎 I think they turned out well for my first try 👍🏼

Thank you for sharing this with me Lynn! ☺️ I can't wait to dive in and freshen up my journal!

Sent my #cozyswap box out today! Should be there by the end of the week! 🍁🍂

Did some #audiocooking tonight! 🧀 I made my homemade mac and cheese and tried a hidden twist this time. So happy with how it turned out! Delicious and creamy as always😋
