Winks & Windows by Laurel Holl 5/15! Brinn is one of my favorite romance leads I've read in a while. She's so real and I think we would be great friends.
It was so nice to see Isaac and Brinn's friendship grow naturally. And when the friends became lovers? Chef's kiss. #romancelandia 💙📚

February Reading Wrap-up!
It was the month of graphic novels. I was in the mood for lighthearted fun. Moreso than usual. I loved so many books this month. You Didn't Hear This From Me, At First Spite, and First Time Caller were probably my favorites.

A Bit Much by Lyndsay Rush. I'm not usually a poetry girlie, but this one is funny, clever, honest, hopeful, and relatable. I included a very important poem from the book. Something to guide us for the next four years. And beyond.

My friends and I do puzzle contests sometimes. 🧩 The St Paul Winter Carnival one is our favorite. Competed in the 500 and 1000 piece divisions.

Of Dark and Bright by Mandy Bex. Such a delicious book. Killian was great but Neve who makes this book. Female rage or I don't want it. I couldn't put this book down for the last 1/3. I had to know how she'd take everyone down. Queen behavior obvi. It was a spicy, violent delight.

Tried to go to a grown up book fair this weekend. It was 20* and a 2+ hour wait to get in. So we peaced out and went to brunch. 😅 Maybe next time...

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

My third book of the year and first 5⭐️! I adored everything about this one! Grumpy witch with improbable predictions. Hilarious MC that I want to be besties with. Pseudo prince. Loved all the relationships in the book. All the characters were so great. Such a delight. I want more please. 💛

Christmasy 🎄 TBR. The more unhinged options are in my Kindle. 😏 Already dnf'ed The Holiday Swap. 40% and decided I was done. I was so annoyed with the MCs and the premise of the book. Next up: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year. Due back at the library this week.😅

Black Friday tradition: cut down our Christmas tree. 🌲
We all watched husband cut it down (and yelled TIMBER) Then the kids "helped" carry it back to the van. Success!

Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood: Feels really different from her other books I've read. It was melancholy and heavy. But also really lovely and heartfelt. Complicated characters and found family. Again a few big TWs so check those if you need to.
