#whatfurybrings by #tricialevenseller #owlcrate #specialedition

This was interesting conceptually. It was a very fast read & this edition of the #book is beautiful. I do think it oversimplified the concept “what if women ran a society”. I appreciated the fmc being a thicc girl

Beautiful #sprayededges on my #currentread from #owlcrate

This #book flips the idea of a patriarchy and focuses on a #matriarchy which is something I personally haven’t read before.

It will be interesting to see how to story plays out #booksky #books #romantasy #fantasy #warriors

The 3rd major #dramione fanfic given trad pub moment.

#TheIrresistibleUrgeToFallForYourEnemy by #brigitteknightley #owlcrate

This was cute with a lot of banter. This #specialedition is gorgeous. The story didn’t feel high stakes. The romance is #slowburn

I really Loved the way the tree roots and vines looked here when I walked my #dog #ainethedoodle tonight.

It made me think of the #book #yourbloodmybones which I enjoyed when I read it a few months ago.

I love when a story subtly haunts you later. #nature #booksky #outside #spookybooks #haunted

Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong
Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?
Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday
Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way

#owlcrate #specialedition of #moderndivination by #isaagajanian

This was a #fallvibes read. It felt #cozy at times w the main action not really taking up a large part of the story. The #magic was interesting and I wish we got more info on it. Lots of #mysteries and secrets

It really interesting to read a #commitmentphobic pov in a #book

I feel like this a perspective we don’t get honest commentary on. #booksky #currentread #moderndivination

I’m probably too old for this paragraph in my #currentread to sum me up so accurately. It’s difficult to silence my brain.

I don’t know how to function if a man is actually interested in me. And god forbid wants a relationship. #bookskye #books #relationshipphobic #butistilllovelove #quietmybrain

#fall makes me so #happy

I love opening the windows and airing my home out on weekends. Maybe it’s the #german dna coming out. Haha

#ainethedoodle loves the porch.

Did a thing this week. My old car was 12 and having some issues.

It was time. While I hate spending money and having a car payment for the first time in 10 years makes me itch…..I do love my #newcar.

Adding some #bling and enjoying the #fueleconomy I love a #hyrbid

Introducing the most spoiled #dog in the world. Yes the entire world. Put a fuzzy blanket on her and she does not move all night. #ainethedoodle #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs

I loved the commentary on the validity of history (it being written by the victors), how religion can be used to manipulate the masses, and questioning what good and evil truly are.

#Alchemised by #senlinyu is a story about #magic #war & what people will do to #survive. started as Harry Potter Fan fiction

If you want HP you can find the characters if you keep your eyes open. If you don’t want HP there is #plot & #characterdevelopment independently.

A girl and her #whiskey (from the talk last night)

Whiskey + ginger beer + splash of lime

Loved the relaxed and calm vibe in the terrace bar before the show. No lines. No crowds. Just chill atmosphere and smooth drinks.

“I'm part of the universe," she said. "A tiny piece, I admit, maybe never an important or mathematically significant one, but still a piece. You and I are not separate from it. No one is.”

Chills from this paragraph.
