Me: ok the story is intriguing, even if a little insta lusty. The first two days are setting up an interesting plot.
Book : we’re half way through the story
Me: ITS BEEN TWO DAYS

Hmm. I like Kemmerer’s plots, but one reason I haven’t read more of her works is because she writes mostly YA. This book is supposed to be her “debut adult novel”, and the FMC is a virgin. Which, not to say that adults can’t or shouldn’t be virgins, but when I pick up a book labeled “adult”, it’s because I want a story about someone w/ adult experiences. This woman has been kissed once in her life.

Slump ended! The YEARNING. What a good book so far 👏🏼

Ok we’ve made it past the taste test. I think this one is gonna work… the YEARNING.

Let’s see how far I get into this on. May this be a slump ender 🙌🏻

Pacing was a little weird in act 1, but better in 2 so far.

Reread for the sequel coming out next week! I feel like I remember a lot of this book, but I need something familiar rn.

Ok, Rebecca, don’t let me down. I’ve read four of her books and they tend to average 4 stars.

Nettle and Bone was one of my top reads of 2022(ish?). This is my third T. Kingfisher book since then, and I haven’t really loved any as much and N&B. Wondering now if N&B was the exception lol

So far this feels like it would make a pretty cool movie. At least the mental one going on in my head is lit. Super atmospheric

A dedication with a Lorax quote and an entire paragraph describing trees? This is a book for Steph.

Soft DNFing rn. Honestly, it’s probably a great book, but I’ve been listening to it while playing cozy games and I think I’ve missed too many relationship/world building elements and I’m confused lol.

This man knows how to write engaging stories. I stayed up till 2 am working on cosplay because was so engrossed in the story and didn’t realize how late it was getting. Def going to finish the audio book tomorrow.

Gettin’ me some dark whimsy

Lawd have mercy

This book has not lost my attention once, so far. 👏🏼

What a strong start to a story. Tarot magic is SUPER cool. I’m sat.
