I love Bookmail… but filming opening it when I have almost no voice is not nearly as fun as when I can babble and yell.

Daughter of the Fae by A. L. Garr
⭐️⭐️⭐️ — ARC via Nerd Fam
There are some great lines and standout side characters, but the worldbuilding and character development feel rushed and a bit confusing.
Still, it was a quick, engaging read that feels like a strong second draft — not quite polished enough.

Apparently my latest coping mechanism is opening my Book of the Month box when I’m angry. What’s yours?

Turns out one of my coping mechanisms is opening bookmail. Please tell me I’m not the only one who rage-unboxes. 😂

Kids: Did you know Dad just stole your motorcycle?!
(This is the motorcycle I’m learning to ride and haven’t left the neighborhood on… yet)
Me: Yep
Kids: *look confused*
Kids to each other: man I thought he’d be in trouble
🤣 Kids are special. Wait until they find out I have the truck. #kids

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson: A murder victim with 1 week left investigates her own death. Sharp, witty, darkly fun, though the pacing needed work. Perfect if you like chaos with a darker edge. Would you read this?

4.5/5 stars — Six Wild Crowns is an interesting twist on Henry VIII and his infamous wives. Two queens, court intrigue, sapphic slow-burn, magic, and dragons. It’s totally unique. I honestly can’t think of a book to compare it to. I need the sequel now.
Thanks to Orbit & NetGalley for the ARC!

Kodiak hasn’t actually rocked this wild summer look yet-he just showed his mama the AI-made pic of his dream style. This teenage Newfie’s got big plans: a blue mohawk, flashy chain, and enough attitude to make all the squirrels jealous. #dogsofbluesky
