OB-SESSED with the series trailer and impatiently waiting for Nov 30!! Until then, time to get my ShaneXIlya fix.

She funny.

Bah, library loan is up so have to put it on pause, but it’s a great read and very self affirming!

Okay, I love these two

Vancouver's first independent romance bookstore is opening tomorrow!!!!!! Now to decide what to buy :D

Oh boy, I’m gonna be in for it with this one aren’t I 😢

Book 2 (Silver Shark) done - 4⭐️

Book 1 (Silent Blade) done - 4⭐️. Well done to how they got me cheering for an absolute turd like Celino in the end. Meli is such a badass and her revenge was delicious.

Book 4 (The Ringmaster) done - 4.5 ⭐️. The direction has been set. Things are shaping up for a very dramatic finale!

Book 3 (The Clown) done - 4⭐️. Really enjoying how this is playing out!

Book 2 (The Puppeteer) - 4⭐️. Simon is absolutely unhinged, possessive, and psychotic and I love him all the more for it! His Shadow is also delightful. Not a lot happened in this book outside of Cora coming to terms with her newfound situation, but I’m really enjoying the creepy carnival vibes and expanding cast of characters.

OMG straight up calling out EL James, I love it 😂

Ok, she’s got a great writing style/voice - very approachable for a health-related read.

My first flagged review - I'm flattered!

Book 1 (the Contortionist) done - 3⭐️. There’s an interesting story here, but I’m not fully sold yet. Heard it keeps getting better with each book, so we’ll see.

Oh Finnick, how I’ve missed you

Peeta’s interview still giving me chills! I remember reading it the first time and pretty sure I physically threw my book 😅

Now all these Haymitch & Effie interactions hit a bit harder 😢

It’s been many years since I’ve read the original trilogy, so I’m excited to read it immediately after finishing Sunrise on the Reaping and link all the little details.

I knew it!

Oof, only 2 pages in and I’m already emotional. This gunna be rough 😭

“One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.”

Well isn’t this fitting for the current climate we find ourselves in.

Ahhhh!! the introduction of Tairn gives me goosebumps even the second time around!

Apparently I read this for the first time exactly one year ago today - so seems fitting for a re-read to prep for book 3…I’ve definitely forgotten some things 😅

Ok, I’ve heard a lot about Charlie, so let’s see how this goes

Ok, I’ve had a lot of feels-reads lately so I’m in the need for some smut 😅

Already preparing myself for how TJ is gonna rip my heart open with this one 😫. Much more similar tonally to the Green Creek series than his more recent releases (not surprising, since they were written around the same time)
