Just finished up this cute little murder mystery. I love a light read where the main character is open to those around her, both in a friendly way and a hater way. The mystery was very well done, and left me guessing until the reveal.

Hello, gorgeous!

This is only the second time in my life I've got a book on release day! 😁

So excited to see what happens next to these sexy, snarky, magical fae.

Pro tip: always include your hook in your progress photos so when you go back to the WIP three months later, you don't have to guess.

Finished! Now impatiently awaiting book 2. Strong FMC, magic, romance, spice, vampires, fae, witches. Plus, more than one protective male friendship.

Can't decide if Kingfisher or Carrion was my favorite male lead, but I've always been a sucker for a sense of humor... So...

Lion Brand Mandala Ombré yarn in colorway Tranquil worked up in three different styles.

Really enjoying all the bright colors in this colorway. It makes crocheting so much more fun when you're stitching to see when the next color pops up. 😁

I made tomato-free spaghetti sauce (because my 40's have come with a surprising amount of food sensitivities), with red onions, bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange) and a couple cloves of garlic. So good! All that was missing was a hot loaf of garlic bread!

I made a cake! King Arthur gluten free cake mixes are the only way to go. They taste exactly like a regular cake. It's pure witchcraft. You can trust me. Gluten free since 2016!

The funfetti is our family favorite. 🤤

I started 2025 with a goal to read 12 books. Today I finished my 50th book!! 😁🎉
This was such a good duology! I recommend it if you like kingdoms, magic, and love.

Finished book #49 for 2025. I've now read five Emily Henry Books, I shall rank them....

1. Book Lovers
2. Funny Story
3. Happy Place
4. Beach Read
5. People We Meet on Vacation (I had to look up what this book was about to even remember what it was, and I just read it in June... 😬)

This was a wonderful read that involves magic, romance, castles, and kings. Enchanted cards and magical infections drive Elspeth, Ravyn, and their crew, as they try to banish the dark mist that poisons their kingdom, while secretly fighting family and friends in the process.

Book 2 next!

Howdy, everyone. Have you survived the horrors of the week? Tell me what you've done to take your mind off all of *gestures wildly* this mess, or say hi to my friend here. Don't worry, he's harmless.

On to my 45th book of 2025! First time reading Molly Harper, and so far it's a light, enjoyable read, which is surprising since it centers a lot on death and ghosts. The first kiss came on without a lot of fuss too, so that wins some extra points for me!

Can't wait to read the rest!

A colorful, upcycled jar to add a bit of joy! Now what to put in it? Crochet hooks? Pens? Scissors? TREATS?! 🧶

I admit that this book wasn't doing it for me at first. It felt very juvenile...

But my friend told me to push through, because it got better - and she was RIGHT!

She also said the next five books are fantastic. So far, 1/3 of the way through #2 (Don't Hex and Drive), she's right again!

Just finished book #37! It was so, so good. It was cozy and sweet. All about found family, and learning to love and accept yourself again after big changes. Ugh, so good.

Definitely in my top five books of the year. Without question.

I can't start this one yet (currently reading two other books 🫣), but I am so excited it arrived!

The cover art is beautiful. 😍

I can't find it in me to post books or crochet right now because everything is making me like this lately.

Hope you're all taking care of your mental health right now.

Maybe share your favorite read of the year so far? Mine has been Rules of Redemption by T.A. White! 📖
