Post Vacation Monday #AudioReSet :)
Heard good things about this one and it was “free“ with audible so - there you go

To Do:
💛 Reset my weekend bag - put all the toiletries where they belong
💛 Do laundry - wet bathsuit needs to be washed. Also forgot my dirty clothes bag, so my clean clothes that weren't worn will have to be washed too - enough for a full load
💛 Clean/Organize the backpack - it was extra self-care supplies

It shows both books under the same link - not sure about that - Oh well.

Great book 2 :) It's super cute. Love the “friendship“ aspect of this :)

BethM Hahahah I love candles and hate lighting them 😂 candle warmers for the win! 21h
ElizaMarie @BethM I love candles (and the fire flame) but -- I tend to “forget“ to practice utmost safety when I have a candle lit. My husband is always the “candle police“. Also now, Lobster (my black panther) is obsessed with flames and I am afraid he will burn his little whiskers. (edited) 21h
BethM I once left a candle burning that turned out to be in glass that was not rated for fire. Burned down, popped the glass, caught the decorative wax on the outside on fire, and went up the kitchen cabinets. While I was at work and my husband was sleeping. I‘m Bo longer allowed flames 😂 21h
ElizaMarie @BethM OH MY!!! I can see why you aren't allowed flames! I “so far“ have not set a full fire (yet) 17h

I enjoyed this book, however, it's one of those, I felt had so much more to offer (vampire/horror-wise) and it focused more on the love story aspect of it. Which I am not against, but had expected more mystery intensity than it gave. I did love that it was set where I grew up - and I think I am averaging up.

Finished reading it while resting in a a huge tub by the ocean this weekend :)

This was a cute romancy-thriller book. I love how Audible uses different POV characters and voices. It truly is a great way to immerse in a book when you are doing all your adult things.

My #ThematicCozies pick for March. I used to love to paint (in a previous life), so I could say it used to be my hobby. When I googled “cozy mystery“ and “art,“ this one came up. I needed a new #AudioCommute #AudioChore book - so this is perfect. I am hoping this weekend I can listen to it at work (while documenting).

I had to take breaks while reading this one. The subject matter was intense and just hit too close to home. We recent (or maybe its confirmation bias) patients coming into the ED with the need for rape kits, and I just hated the language among “professionals“ regarding these women.

Librariana The cutiepie on the couch seems pretty perfect to me! ? Glad you got this audiobook "off the shelf" ☺️ Is it one you own and think you'll reread in the future? Or was it a library borrow? Feel free to ignore my questions ? Just curious. 1mo
ElizaMarie @Librariana It was “free“ with Audible. So I didn't purchase it. I doubt I would re-listen to this one. It wasn't a “comfort“ type of listen either, so I just don't see it in the cards of re-listening.

That little monster, Conor, is my little terror! He sucks on his toys like they are pacifiers. It's kinda cute because it lulls him to sleep.

I have been reading/checking in with my buddy Frankie every Friday with this book. I am enjoying it so far - lots of “to-do“ and “to think-about“ items for me to focus on. Today, I reread a couple of weeks' worth and took some notes :) 📑📊🗓️

I finished 2 more courses in my degree towards a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. This semester was intense. I felt sick some days (physically) and couldn't take care of myself because school NEVER stops! I am taking a semester off before I start my preceptorship (I can't emotionally- self-care - physically - think about working for free right now).

I am excited to use this time to read, regroup, and organize my home/life.

Finished this month's #ThematicCozies @JulieClair Most cozies have some romantic element, and when I googled this (romance + cozy mystery) it came up, but ... it wasn't super romantic-y. Compared to others I have loved! Oh well. The book itself was a bit obnoxious, but it might have been geared to a younger audience into influencers - a #NotForMe pick.
