SHE’S NOW HOMELESS & HER NEW BOSS IS A PRO-BASEBALL PLAYER!! “...Did your five-year plan include moving back in with your family and sharing a bed with your Nonna? No? Well, hate to break it to you…it’s exactly as traumatizing as it sounds. Have you had enough? Too bad. Buckle up—it gets worse. Your new boss is a professional baseball player, and he’s hot, like really hot, but you’ll pretend not to notice because he’s a single dad and it feels wrong to ogle him in front of his innocent child. Unfortunately, he thinks you’re sexy as hell too. Unrequited love is one thing; mutual off-limits pining destined to explode in the worst of ways? What could go wrong...”

Hooray, the weekend is here!! I’m going out sans kids tonight for dinner, a rarity.
I finished a few books this week. Two, I had started and squirreled at some point or another so I was a good portion into the book to finish. Queen of Thieves was really unique and held my attention throughout. I found myself looking up Alice Diamond soon after. The Bromance Book Club had been on my shelf too long and I finally got to finish it. It was more an ok read for me. I’m not sure if it’s because I picked it up and put it down with too long of gaps between, but I wasn’t ever dying to find out what happened next. Good for one of those mindless kind of mood reads though and it did make me laugh a few times. And then Darling Girl, one of my book of the month books, also on my shelf for too long, a Peter Pan retelling. I was pretty captivated by this one, I’m a sucker for fairy tale retellings. Now, I’m trying to get into Ariadne while also reading a library copy of Jar of Hearts- super intense. That one, I also don’t like to put down.
Oh that title alone “Jar of Hearts” makes me wanna read it. Super intense??? I’m looking it up now. YAY!!!
I could’ve sworn it was popular here years ago. I’ve read Things We Do in the Dark by the same author and it was unputdownable also so I really wanted to finally read this one.
Oh YEAH!! I read “Creep” by her and I liked it!!! Plus it’s in KU. YAY ME!!
