I’m getting my hair done tomorrow ✨

going to do a split dye for the first time, and I’m excited. these are the inspo pics I sent to my stylist for cut & color.
a photo showing four angles of a person showing off their haircut. the haircut has a middle part, cheek-length hair on top and shorter hair in the back a photo of a person with dyed hair styled into half up space buns with their bangs hanging out. parted in the middle, the left side of their hair is dyed maroon, the right side is a faded navy blue

Not Catching Love by Saxon James

Narrated by Teddy Hamilton 🎧📚

“apparently self-hatred isn’t a thing most people do, and he wants me to work on it—go figure.”

definitely the most emotionally complex of the series. mixed feelings about the morality of the relationship. emotional HEA.

aside from AART, these have been my favorites I’ve read year.

top book is Everything for You by Chloe Liese.

I don’t think any of them were published this year, though lol

what about you?

finishing this book is like sitting in a lightless room with only the ringing in your ears for company, yet feeling content about it.

and he was still wearing the ring 🥺
The burning came again, cutting her panic short as she tried to place where the sensation was coming from. She knew that feeling. Her hand. Her left hand was burning. The ring. Her heart stalled. Kaine. He'd come back and found her gone. She'd told him she'd be waiting, and she wasn't there. The ring burned again and again and again. He was looking for her. He'd come for her. He always did. But she could not think about it. She had to forget. If she remembered and was interrogated, Kaine could not be found.

Kaine stared at the map and list, his eyes narrowing. "Who is he exactly?" "An Easterner. He helps here and there." "And you trust him?" "More than I can trust you," she said. Kaine turned white, but he crumpled the list into his pocket. "Don't leave," he said.
