Nap first or eat first? The Kimberly Hirsh story
Finished reading: Dark Skye by Kresley Cole 📚
Other people seem to hate this one but I like it pretty well. Lanthe and Thronos’s story is epic, spanning years and continents. Lives ruined. Blood shed. Worth a try if you’re making your way through Immortals After Dark.
📚 When I’m catching up on a long-running series, I sometimes forget that there are people who, for example, couldn’t read 19 Immortals After Dark books in a row and, in fact, had to wait a year or more for the next one to come out, and that I, too, can wait.
Did you know that April is School Library Month? It’s true! Did you know that I’m trained as and have worked as a school librarian? Also true!
Finished reading: Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas 📚
A lovely historical about an author and a publisher who fall in lust and then love. Her body is described as voluptuous, bountiful, abundant, generous. It’s clear that these are attractive things for her to be. Quite spicy. Content warning: miscarriage.
Finished reading: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang 📚
A lovely romance novel with an autistic heroine. I highlighted a lot.
Finished reading: Matilda by Roald Dahl 📚
We went to see Matilda the Musical and I loved it. I’d watched the Netflix movie of the musical and years ago the movie with Mara Wilson, but I’d never actually read the book. It’s a lovely book but I think the musical is even better.
Finished reading: MacRieve by Kresley Cole 📚
This one is beautifully done as always. There’s a traumatic backstory of childhood sexual abuse for the hero and the way it impacts his relationship with the protagonist broke my heart. But of course there’s a happy ending because romance. ♥️
🔖 Read Why I Celebrate The Spring Equinox As The Real “New Year”.
I really love this. I want to live more in line with the seasons. Spring is a great time to make the changes so many people want to make in the new year: eat more produce, move around more.
