pickFinally back on Litsy - hello, again! This book was CREEPY and unsettling. The writing was great and I loved the characters. Definitely preferred this to the first two Sworn Soldier books by the same author, though those were good in a different creepy way.
pickThis was better than I thought it‘d be. I disliked the ending most; I always felt like Mockingjay‘s ending was rushed, and this felt similar. Still a good read if you like the Hunger Games books!
Finally onto the Hunger Games books I haven‘t read yet. I‘m looking forward to SOTR a little more, but wanted to get through this one first.
pickWe said goodbye to Bella last night, and tonight I‘m finishing the book we started with Luna by my side. I‘ll miss my fluffy girl, but my tortie and a cute romance are helping me cope.
Alright — I‘m back in it for April! Trying to get through a bunch for Goodreads challenges and get to some of my wrapped books. I have a couple of flights this month, so I‘m hoping for some extra reading time!
Finishing my reread of this trilogy with my girl. I‘ve had my Bella since I was 16, and nearly 17 years later, we have to say goodbye to her this week. Trying to spend every minute I can with her.
My Feb book spin list is a little different this time around since all my books are wrapped in brown paper and numbered… so I‘m just going to go with books 1-25 😂 I have about 230 wrapped TBR books and I‘m supposed to be on a book buying ban until I get through them all… but don‘t tell my kindle unlimited subscription 🤫 #bookspin #bookspinbingo
After ordering from 3 different places when the first 2 never shipped or updated my order, I finally have this in my hands!! Debating on reading it now… I know it will be a long wait for book 4 and I hate cliffhangers.
pickListened to the audio on a whim because Richard Armitage narrated, and I was not disappointed! This kept me hooked even though domestic thrillers aren‘t always my thing. The twist really caught me off guard. A great listen for my drives home from work.
I lost the mood to read Onyx Storm right now, so I‘m going to dig into some thrillers and romance books for the weekend.
pickQuick read before Onyx Storm. I think I‘ve read something from another of Sadie Kincaid‘s series, but this was fun! Was it realistic? Not at all. Did I devour it in one sitting? Totally. MMMFM - check TW.
pickJust in time for Onyx Storm 😅 I am not looking forward to the stress of reading that one.
My kindle didn‘t fit on its stand with this case and pop socket, so I‘m immortalizing my stickers here 🥲 Finally reading Iron Flame right before book 3 comes out! Also trying to start a bookstagram since TikTok is questionable. Find me at cewilf_reads 🥰
Harry‘s sister knows I exist and this information is a lot to process. Also, I‘m very excited to read her book.
Finally embarking on reading Little Women after visiting the Alcotts‘ Orchard House last weekend. Excited for this special edition!
Book 2/200 of my physical TBR. My kindle keeps getting in the way, though 😅

“Jeanie Ellis had never killed a man before, but tonight might be the night.”
😂
It‘s been a long time since a book made me cry, and in not even done. The narrators for this audio are great, especially the MMC.
I finally got around to reorganizing one of my bookshelves. This one‘s in the living room so I can admire those cool dust jackets all the time 😍
I will be posting on TikTok (@ c_5315) as I start to actually go on a reading journey of ALL my physical books! I have 200 to get through… and I‘d like to do it in under two years. Reviews will be posted here and on TikTok!
Currently listening to the audiobook and enjoying this. I did not like The Paris Apartment right before this, but both audiobooks have been well done.
This guy is my new reading buddy. Continuing The Paris Apartment and I‘m not sure how I feel about it 100 pages in. The audiobook is helping me keep all the characters straight, though!
I say this every year… but I‘m going to read my physical TBR!!! I got this idea from a friend who saw it on TikTok.. I am attempting to wrap all my books and will read them randomly by number. Hoping to also do some #bookspinbingo boards to help with this. I am truly going to make an effort not to buy ANY books until I read them all!! Not pictured… about 150 more books to wrap 😂 Wish me luck on this likely yearlong (at least) journey.
pickI had an error in my last post - I‘ve actually read 3 Sager books. I didn‘t like The House Across the Lake at all. The twist just wasn‘t consistent with the rest of the story. But THIS one - I had no clue what was coming for the last quarter of the book, but I felt like it was actually plausible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
pickIt‘s been a long time since I‘ve posted, but I‘m making a summer return! Hoping to be a lot more consistently active on here. This book was the second Sager I‘ve read and I really enjoyed it. The twists and red herrings have gotten me in both books. I look forward to his newest when my hold comes in! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
70 pages in and I‘m not understanding the love for this book. It‘s not funny, there‘s terrible traumatic things happening or that have happened, all the men are bad, and the author REALLY wants me to know how inequitable science is/was. I‘m not disagreeing, but it feels heavy-handed so far. Trying to keep going for my book club, but I might stop if it‘s not better in 30 more pages.
I love this series so much 🥰
Taking a break from novels to read the Heartstopper series. I binged all of season 2 last night; the show is so wonderful, and the books are just as cute.
Up next! Reading this one as part of a book club with some lovely coworkers.
This is so cute so far! I feel like I‘m watching GBBO as I read.
This week‘s reads and up next. I finally got into the swing of reading at the end of the summer (after watching red white & royal blue too many times) and have been in the mood for sweet romances. Please send any recs this way 🥰
pickObsessed with this book. Counting down the days for the next in the series.
Jumping on the personal pool trend for reading this summer - why didn‘t I ever think of this!? Perfect for days when I‘m too lazy to visit my parents‘ pool or the beach 🤪
Rearranged my bedroom bookshelf with a bunch of TBR books. Hoping to making a big dent this summer.
pickThis was such a cute book. I haven‘t cried happy tears while reading in a while. Damien was a little reminiscent of Mr. Darcy and I immediately wanted to watch Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 version 😉).
Next up - a recommendation I stumbled across on Tiktok.
pickHighly recommend the audiobook. Ben Barnes does a great job. I wouldn‘t have been nearly as engaged without the cast & sound effects in the recording.
This has been an awful reading year for me, but I‘m jumping into #bookspinbingo for one last month! I‘ve been reading a lot of kindle unlimited books lately, so I think I‘m getting back in the swing of it.
Reading this for a book club and I‘m not sure… so many co-workers were raving about it as a brilliant summer read. That always makes me nervous 🙃
pickRecently read all 4 of these and really enjoyed them. Are they all some variation of the same plot? Yes. Are they still pretty cute? Also yes. Faking with Benefits was the first one I read, so I think that‘s why I liked it most, but I‘d say these are all worth a read if you like reverse harem romance!
pickI adore Tessa Bailey‘s books so far. I started with My Killer Vacation and loved It Happened One Summer right after. Definitely want to read the sequel soon.
I ended up really enjoying Book Lovers! It was pretty cute and not too cringey. I liked Beach Read a little less, probably because I read it second and there were some plot similarities that left me a bit bored. Overall I‘m definitely an Emily Henry fan.
This has been the weirdest reading year I‘ve had in a while. I feel like 3 out of 4 weeks of every month have just been slumps. I just finished It Happened One Summer this week, so I‘m hoping another cute read will help!
