February Love to Read Challenge

Intermediate – read 4- 6 books

- Love your media: ✅

Not too sure about Alexander Skarsgård playing Murderbot though.

- Love yourself:

Super fun and relaxing.

- Love your secrets:
✅
Even though I literally have hundreds of physical books, eBooks on my Nook/Kindle and thousands on my TBR; my guilty pleasure is picking up weird randos through the Kindle Unlimited.

-Love the Cover:
✅
I mean. Give me a skull adjacent cover and I'm in.

Actually my favorite is genre mash-ups. This book is a Sci-Fi Cyborg/Western with a dash of vampireyness and maternal drama!


4/4 complete
