I'm a Minnesotan who is probably reading a romance book, talking about books, or looking for book recs. All of that while listening to Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and many others.

The only books that come to mind are by Fredrik Backman. I've read Beartown and My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry.
I wouldn't say they were a favorite, but they were definitely interesting reads.

I started reading one book last night, couldn't get into it. Put it aside.
Started a second, and same thing.
Scrolled through my kindle, and nothing called out to me.
So obviously I need to buy a new book to solve this issue.

Is this where I admit I’ve never listened to an audiobook? Well that isn’t entirely true, I’ve tried. My brain just says no.

It doesn't bother me to read an "out of season" book. There is one exception to this, and it's Christmas books. I keep that specifically for November and December, it cannot trickle into the rest of the year.

Oh it would have to be fantasy. Then i'd at least have magic on my side, and maybe a dragon. Meanwhile in a thriller I'd just be freaked out the entire time. 🤣

It's "I Love To Read Month" at my kids school.
My 8 year old is taking this very seriously and is reading every day. She has already read 3 books.
My 10 year old is taking it easy, and tells me he has all month to read. But he did just check out 6 books from the library.

For the first time ever I have emailed my elected officials. All of this news surrounding the happenings in DC, not just with 47 but with EM, has my anxiety level increasing.
My emails will probably go no where, but at least I've thrown it out there.

I finished Onyx Storm.
My brain has yet to process everything that has happened, especially in the last quarter of the book.
Also the ending? Uh, what?
I need Rebecca to announce when book 4 will be released. I don't care if it isn't for a year, I need a date and something to look foward to.

I'm over half way through Onyx Storm, and I think I've experienced just about every emotion.
The things that took place in chapters 41 and 42...my jaw was on the ground for the majority of that.
Also, Ridoc is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. So RY better not off him.

I DNF'd another book, and I'm completely okay with it.
And yes I DNF'd it after only reading a handful of pages. I could tell based off what I'd read that the book wasn't going to be for me.

Dear Congress,
There's this thing I think you need to refresh your memory of. Don't worry, it's short, so it won't take you much time, but I advise that you read it enough times that it's really internalized.
It's Article I of the Constitution.

The last few books I’ve read have honestly just been sort of “meh”.
I need a romance that will wow me. Maybe I need to read a romantic suspense to get what I’m desiring from a book.

Why yes I am still waiting on Amazon to ship Onyx Storm to me.
What is the purpose of preordering to have delivery on release date, if Amazon then does follow suit?
I'm annoyed. Now to search and see what stores near me might have it in stock, then cancel that Amazon order.
