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.
My very kind and generous household family gave me time and space to rest during the pain phase of my migraine yesterday. I’m now in the postdrome phase and everything feels very weird. I wouldn’t be sad to get another 12 hours of sleep.
The first week of the New Year left me exhausted from peopling. And I came into the second week exhausted from an unusual work schedule. I have to dedicate some time to rest and taking care of my home over the next week.
My aesthetic isn’t dark Twee, actually. It’s more goth bookstore girl. Like if Rory Gilmore were Wednesday Addams rather than just being insufferable. See also, darkest academia.
Finished reading: Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat 📚
This book is well-written and compelling. It’s also intense and full of potentially triggering moments. I recommend perusing the full Does the Dog Die? page for it before reading.
