I'm going to be very honest with you and say- I'm not entirely sure if indigo is purple or blue, so it's basically a free space 😊. 

It rained  for the first time in a very long time the other day and I realized just how old I'm becoming when I said, "This is nice, we needed this." 

QOTD: What do you like to do on rainy days?

She looks so serious. 

I wonder what she's thinking about.... 

Probably all the fantasy/sci-fi books that have haunted me for the last couple of years. 

Or maybe she's just being dramatic because she was told to "stay" 😅.

✨️Kindle Unlimited Book Recommendations ✨️ Some o ✨️Kindle Unlimited Book Recommendations ✨️

Some of my favorite books on Kindle Unlimited (in the US, I know these can vary country to country).

There are obviously so many more wonderful books on KU that I can't wait to try. 

Are you a book borrower or a book buyer? 

I prefer to borrow first and then collect my favorites. It makes to easier for me to be able to DNF books I'm not enjoying. 

QOTD: What are your favorite KU Recommendations?
Have you ever read a book that made you want to st Have you ever read a book that made you want to stare at a wall for a few hours and contemplate life? 

I'm still processing my emotions and am not quite sure what to say about this book. 

The Poet Empress by Shen Tao was beautifully written. 

I love when books switch between past and present and The Poet Empress does this particularly well. 

The author did a fantastic job making me feel empathetic toward a character I did not think could deserve it. 

It was intriguing, horrifying, heart-wrenching, and overall emotionally exhausting. 

It was truly an amazing read. 

I could not put it down.

I constantly found myself needing to understand more. 

My rambling is done now, but if you're still here I think it's important to say that this is not a romantasy book. It is a dark fantasy. I've seen it described as romantasy several places online. If you go in thinking this is a romantasy, this isn't going to be the book you are hoping for.

What are you reading? 

I am having a truly awesome reading year so far and am loving my books. 

They keep hurting me and I love it! 

I asked for help finding my next read and Project Hail Mary was by far the winner. 

I'm excited to see why you love it so much. And just a little worried I won't understand all if the science in it. I may not be smart enough for this book 🫣.
POV: You've been in a romantasy reading slump and POV: You've been in a romantasy reading slump and then one of your most anticipated romantasy books hits your kindle. 

I'm so excited to journey back into The Ever. 

Some of you know this already, but The Ever King is one of my favorite books 🖤.

Thank you @authorljandrews and @berkleypub!!

✨️The Last Book Challenge✨️ My friend @glimmers.0 ✨️The Last Book Challenge✨️

My friend @glimmers.0104 wanted to see the last books I [insert verb]. 

I get tagged in these occasionally, but don't usually do them because I'm usually in the middle of a series and the challenge would just be a list of the books in the series I'm reading 😅. 

As you can see, I have been taking a little bit of a break from romantasy/fantasy romance and venturing into a different side of fantasy.

And I'm sorry about any typos. I cannot fix them now 😵‍💫
We're only halfway through the year and I'm pretty We're only halfway through the year and I'm pretty sure I've already read my favorite books of the year. 

I've been reading nothing but books I love so far this year. 

Probably because I'm DNFing the books I don't like. 

What's your favorite read so far this year?
