Y’all, this is both explicit and taboo. Content warning for suicide (one of the MC’s siblings, before the book takes place but the MC finding her is mentioned). A VERY hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Finished reading: Dark Lover by J.R. Ward 📚

Listened to the audiobook. This one is very much of its time (2005).

Finished reading: How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks 📚

The pacing in this is wild, and by wild I mean slow. But it was interesting enough to keep me reading.

🍿 Watched This Is My Life.

Nora Ephron’s film directorial debut. I love a story about a mother and her kids.
