Finished Heir of Fire (Book 3) of Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. My 2nd reading, first on audio. I caught so many more details this time and feel a stronger connection to Rowan. I was also much more invested in Manon. My 1st read felt confusing introducing new characters & places. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

Jumping in to The Long Game by Rachel Reid because too many people on the internet are trying to spoil it. 💙📚

Finished The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman by Gennifer Choldenko. I started out reading this with my 11-yo, but ended it on my own. Sometimes heavy - with an abandoned kid and his 3yo sister; alcoholic mom vanished. Moments of hope & friendship. I enjoyed it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 💙📚

Pre-ordered this signed copy so long ago, I almost forgot about it. Recently saw a promo for it, and nearly ordered a copy. Glad I didn’t fall for it. 💙📚

Finished Sierra Simone & Julie Murphy’s newest book The Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl on audio. Sexy, steamy, fun, and sassy. These two authors together come up with magic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

Finished Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin on audio. Took a bit to figure out who was who 😆 but once I got a hang of it (lot of flashbacks), it was enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

Picked up this cute book at a local bookstore. The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Magic & Murser by Kiri Callaghan 💙📚

Finished Role Model by Rachel Reid (Book 5 in the Game Changers series). Troy & Harris are so great! Loved Troy’s personal journey and ALL the great Ilya appearances. On to The Long Game! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

Newest Game Changer book (Unrivaled) by Rachel Reid has been pre-ordered. Countdown to September. 💙📚 And then I threw in a special edition BN copy of The Song of Achilles because it's pretty, and I want to re-read it. Thankful for the BN gift cards I received for Xmas!

Why did no one tell me (a geriatric millennial) about the greatness of Queen? So many songs I loved that I had no idea were Queen. Sorry to those who have a lot of American cultural knowledge pre-1980s. LOL!

Hard copies obtained. #HeatedRivalry 💙📚

Final book in my borrowed TBR pile, and then I’ll start on my own shelf. The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell 💙📚

Listening to: Southern Gentleman by Jessica Peterson, 3rd book in the Charleston Heat series 💙📚

My kindle paperwhite from 2019 died. The backlight blipped out, then couldn’t get it to go to sleep mode. Now, screen isn’t responsive to any touch. Frozen.

Currently reading 👂🏼: All the Missing Pieces by Catherine Cowles 💙📚

I got distracted by a library book on Libby but I’m struggling with it. So switching over to this YA book. 💙📚

I had a great time at #TexasBookFest this weekend. Got a few books signed and met some new authors. My TBR is only growing. 😆 💙📚

Slowly switching back to a bigger purse as I spend more time outside of the house. Nice to have room to bring my Kindle anywhere I go now.

Finished Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic by CM Nascosta. This is the 3rd in the series. I had to skip over the 2nd one about a Mothman. 😆 But a werewolf was acceptable. 80% entertaining then it kind of fell off. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💙📚

Currently reading: 👀 The Dragon Republic by RF Kuang 👂🏼 A Blue Ribbon Romance by CM Nascosta (Cambric Creek 1.5) 💙📚

😆😆😆 After the emotional journey that was The Women, I went in the total opposite direction and finished Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. It was exactly the silly, not serious, smutty read I needed. 💙📚
