Happy Wednesday y'all! This week I'm eagerly waiting on Graceless Heart by , an adult fantasy romance set in Renaissance Italy. I fell in love with Ibañez's work a few years ago and have devoured her fantasy novels (still need to read her Woven in Midnight series).

I enjoy watching and impressing him with all my new football knowledge 🤣 AND my VOLS are winning so everyone is happy in my house.

Way back in 2014 my husband gifted me the hardcover series boxset of . I had never read them before and was so excited to jump into them. Skip forward to 2016, I finally started them.
