Ugghh!!! I cannot wait to read It starts with us, but I am so damn scared, my poor heart lol.
Her ex will stress me out the whole time, I just know it!!!
Ditto. But I’m still not over Ryle. 😣🤦♀️
Hey! I’ve not read as much as I’d have liked this fall season thus far and I am feeling deprived! I mean, I have. But, I wanna be consumed. I want uninterrupted hours. I miss it! And chatting here. 🙂 So, I read Jackal by Erin E. Adams last and really liked it. I read it pretty quickly, liked the writing and the direction it took. I know a lot of reviews that I read that didn’t like it were bc of the direction it took, but that’s what I wanted! Vague, but it was a good read. And I was craving something different, so I finally got to pick up my physical copy of The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston and I am so into it so far! Just want those uninterrupted hours. But bc it’s physical, I’m lazy to pick it up at night when I could get that time and instead read a sample of Jewel E. Ann’s latest, Pieces of a Life, and now I want it SO bad. It was a good sample! But I’m on a buying ban. 🙁 I can’t break it till I at least read what I started. Lol
I’m feeling deprived too. I’m always doing something but I finally got a break this week, and I’m reading!! 😀
Yes, me too. I had to force it. Lol. I finished Dead Romantics and loved it! It was like a comfort read for me. Sweet, a little quirky, romantic, and dealt with grief without feeling heavy. Now I should be reading a couple different books because of my subscription, but….curse of the mood reader, I’ve started One of Us is Lying finally. Lol. What are you reading? Watching? Anything good? 😉
