    Every single one of these books just follows the formula : big bad man. Weak but not so weak woman. She’s gonna die for X reason. He’s gonna save her cause he’s the best. Tadaaaaa

    Not the casual mention of yarrow and owls in the last few chapters. 😭

    I love it when the love interests from previous books gather to get the next couple together.

    Different isn't always bad.

    "ā€œI’m ready,ā€ Tristan said. It was time for a new season." I had some expectations before reading the book. It's so very different from what I thought I'd be reading, but it's also great. I love Tristan's (Jeff's husband) support. I'm finding myself eager to keep reading. To know where Jeff's story is headed. It has also awakened in me a wish to learn about gardening. I've never had a green thumb, but I think it's mostly for lack of knowledge and lack of trying. This gives me hope I can eventually have my own garden.

    Anthologies, yay or nay?

    How does everyone else feel about horror in anthology format like this? I find I'm kinda split. Like I enjoy the variety of stories we get to see, and I really love the whole museum exhibit theme used to tie them all together, but sometimes I also really struggle to really get invested and immersed in the stories since they are so short.

    I honestly had zero expectations going into this book. It's been on my tbr for like 5 years and I finally decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did. I'm really enjoying so far!

    If this isn't at the top of your TBR, put it there! Yes, it took me a little while longer than I had hoped to get through it, but June was very busy. This modern "re-telling" of Charles Dickens 'David Copperfield' was nothing short of amazing. The trials and tribulations that Damon had to endure from a drug abusive young mother, to foster homes and becoming addicted to drugs with no hope in hell for himself like a sinking ship was completely and undeniably gut-wrenching. All you wanted for this kid was to pull through and break the cycle. I'm usually not a literary fiction reader, but this I'm so glad I read it. Amazing book!

    I hope to come back to this book when I have the brain space! I was having fun with this but my reading comprehension has gone down the drain lately lol so I had to pause. Nothing wrong with the book, just not the right time for me I guess

    Currently rereading this series after seeing the film adaptation that came out recently. I love these books, they are just so much fun!

    I’m now reading part 2. I feel like the story has changed drastically and there’s not much coherence
