Let's be book besties!

(Your not you're. I see it. It's bothering me too (Your not you're. 
I see it. It's bothering me too.)

No need to tell me you hate the things I love. 

I'm not reading to make you happy. 

Weirdly enough, I'm doing it to make myself happy. 

Books bring me joy.
Listen, I've been rereading Fourth Wing and Iron Listen, 

I've been rereading Fourth Wing and Iron Flame over the last week. 

Was I overly judgemental of Dain the first time I read this? 

Absolutely.

Did he deserve it?

He did not. 

This is definitely a more complicated issue than I could form thoughts about on my slides, but honestly I just don't think he deserves all of the hate he gets. 

Especially, as the series goes on. 

Who is a fictional character you think gets too much hate?
I've been sick all week, so instead of starting a I've been sick all week, so instead of starting a new book I decided to do a reread of Fourth Wing. 

Look, I'll be the first to admit this series isn't perfect. It's a little cheesy and I'm not a huge fan of the writing. 

But I don't care. I love it. It's so entertaining. 

Tairn is the best character. He's so old and grumpy and I love him. 

I'm so ready to know what not book 4 is. 

Who's your favorite Fourth Wing character?

Do you reread books you love?
Romantasy girlies- how is your Dungeon Crawler Car Romantasy girlies- how is your Dungeon Crawler Carl journey going? 

If you started out reading SJM, you are eventually going to wind up reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. And you're probably going to like it. 

I don't make the rules. 

I did not expect to like Dungeon Crawler Carl at all, but it is so freaking entertaining. 

And the audiobook?!?

Oh. My. God. I don't really listen to audiobooks, but these are phenomenal.

And, as always, I've found the typos too late. At least you know I'm a real person.
This might be my new favorite indie book. I went This might be my new favorite indie book. 

I went into Because I Killed Him by @edith.birde knowing pretty much nothing about it and I'm so glad I did. 

This book is almost 700 pages and I was engrossed for the entire thing. It really felt like it needed to be that long. The 1920s inspired dystopian world was so interesting and unique. 

Pretty much the entire book had me feeling anxious. 

But what I love  most is how much I feel like I know the characters.

And the romance? I had no idea this was a romance going in, but it gave me butterflies. 

There is so much left to explore in this world and I am going to be waiting eagerly for the next installment.
Meet Me in Fives Challenge/Trend As always, I'm s Meet Me in Fives Challenge/Trend

As always, I'm super late to this trend. 

If you can't tell by my choices,  I don't watch a lot of TV or movies anymore 😅.

Do we have anything in common?

My biggest red flag is that I am delusional enough My biggest red flag is that I am delusional enough to think I would be a  character like Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.

But in reality, I would be minding my own business in my garden, reading my books, and eating second breakfast.
What are you reading Wednesday? 🖤 But make it Thu What are you reading Wednesday? 🖤

But make it Thursday. 

I started Because I Killed Him by @edith.birde on a whim last week having no idea what it was about.

And I am absolutely loving it so far. 

Futuristic, 1920s, prohibition era dystopian might describe what it is so far? 

Whatever it is, it has taken over my mind right now. 

What are you reading friends?
