Goodreads, please stop adding books on my kindle read shelf to my goodreads challenge! Please, I beg of you!

Mandanna's work is just comfort food!

Not sure how I’m feeling about this one right now

I was trying to finish this before a trip this weekend, but it is going to have to wait until next week. I continue to be amazed how repetitive the plot for this book is. It's just slight variations of the same plot point over and over again. I watched Andor season 2 earlier this year, and I keep thinking how can I like someone like Luthen or Kleya and but not Helena? Hmm.

At the end of Part 1, I was close to putting the book down for good. I knew this book was meant to be brutal as many war stories are, but I really could not mentally take more of what Part 1 had to offer. Part 2 eased me into the horrors, but now I’m at a loss. More and more the main emotion I feel is exhausted by this book.

Not sure what to think thus far apart from this being wordy. I see some breadcrumbs on where this story could go and idk if I am happy about it. But hey I've read the blurb for the original fanfiction so it's my own fault tbh since I already knew I wouldn't like that potential plot element. I just hoped it would disappear lol.

My morbid curiosity got the better of me.

Historical romance has become a bit a comfort read category for me after I read so many last year. There are very few I really like (let alone love), but certain writers like Mary Balogh just click for me from a comfort standpoint.

Lisa Kleypas is hit or miss for me, but she's still an author whose romance novels I can read without DNF-ing at the first chapter (lol). We'll see how the Hathaways series reads for me!

I’m really enjoying this but finding less time to read so it is slow going!

Re-reading Enna Burning and fully expecting to have my heart ripped out. I loved this one growing up and remember it being rather harrowing after the warmth of the first book in the series.

Oh I am QUITE enjoying this!

So happy to be finally reading this!

This book began at a breakneck pace, but it's settled down to the cozy politicking of hosting an intergalactic bachelor show, and I love it for that.

Hmmm. HMMM.

Ya girlie is fiiiinally reading this!

I'm almost always more interested in the plot conflict compared to the romance, and this book is no different. I like Cerise and William more as a pair, but I'm curious to see how this "rivals/enemies to lovers" type romance is going to go!

I'm taking my sweet time with this, but I AM still really enjoying it!
