Deifio @Cupcake12 I'm almost half way through and really enjoying it. Do you know, is the Netflix series about the first book or the whole trilogy? 3mo

I had almost given up on this book! It starts pretty sad, and I just can't handle sad right now. I thought I'd give it a couple more pages and yes, the heroine comes through and makes a decision on her own of what her life is and is going to be.

This is my favourite urban fantasy/romantasy series. And this next installment does not disappoint! I had a really good time with the book. And I do hope we get to see more of Mercy's half-brother Gary.

wanderinglynn It definitely seems like Gary & Honey are going to be a thing. 5mo

I really liked the YouTube shorts series and I just had to read the book! And it was even better than I anticipated! The characters are really well defined and the plot is fun.
I'd recommend watching the series on YouTube or TikTok first, just so you know what you're getting into. Also I think that way it's way more fun to see the differences in the book and also the surprises.

Watching "All creatures great and small" TV show and knitting a fair isle tank top. This keeps my hands busy when I still can't walk around that much.

Deifio @julesG Thanks! It's a really lovely series. I loved the books too 10mo
Deifio @AmyG and @ravenlee Thanks! I really like how it's coming along. I estimate another month until it's done. I'm slow 🦥 ☺️ 10mo
julesG The slow progress is what annoys me with knitting. I love knitting, don't get me wrong, but by the time I'm done with a large project the weather has changed and I'm no longer interested. 🙄🙄🙄 10mo
Deifio @julesG Sometimes knitting is frustrating. The fair isle pattern is really addictive and fun. Way better than the last jumper I knitted, where the last part was pure boredom. And then I had to undo almost all of my work and redo it because it was waay to big. Ah well, hubby loves his new jumper though ☺️ so it was worth it 10mo
julesG Oh no, frogging (undoing) is the worst. 10mo
Deifio @julesG I had to undo several rows of my tank top too. I already made so many mistakes. But now it seems I got the hang of it. The markers for every 16 stitches of the pattern help a lot too 9mo

Now things with bullet journaling begins to click. I never really thought about the reason behind specific logs. And I've never done the migration or reflection part!
In short, I didn't do it right. So I'll try again and this time I have specific times set aside for journaling, too.
So worth it to buy this book!

This should be a quick read. Gave this to hubby for Christmas. These are stories about the nights between Christmas and 6. January. When demons and the great hunt plague the honest folk. But also the veil between the present and future is thin and you can make predictions e.g. about your future wife or husband.
