If a book has even a little romance in it, I’ll give it a shot. ♥️

    Enjoyment: 5.0Quality: 1.0Characters: 2.0Plot: 2.0

    This is my 3rd time reading this book and I blame PB for my rating. By shoving (lovingly and kindly) great books down my throat, this book went from 4.5 (don’t look at me. It was the first plus size dark romance I’ve ever read. It was a game changer) to a 2.5.

    Quality: It’s giving 1st draft of a story for a creative writing class, freshman year of college. It has potential. A couple more edits, the final draft…might make a B- story. And I am not an expert when it comes to quality, but even I could tell…this needs a lot of work.

    Characters: Typical for a dark romance. Territorial, unhinged, falls way too quickly. Out of the entire series, they are not my favorite.

    Plot: Not very well done. Probably could have gone the entire book thinking there wasn’t one ( and be absolutely okay with it).

    Enjoyment: OF COURSE I ENJOYED IT. Sometimes I don’t like to think. This book required no brain power (from me). All I wanted was violence and smut. It was an easy read, where I felt like I wasted away, and it was greatly appreciated. It was the insta-love story I needed after being completely demolished by world building and slow burns. It’s the palette cleanser of my dreams. 😂

    Always recommend. 🤣

  • I’m touching grass again!

    So Pokopia has derailed my life, at one point even water was forgotten, never mind reading! Vomiting water on grass to revive whole towns is not for the weak!

    Anyway, the sun is shining and I’m touching grass again - my skin hydrated and back in my hands? a bloody good book

    I read an incredible gothic (We Have Always Lived in This Castle) that’s been on my list for ages and finished a fun little side book (Mort) over the weekend and have already started another! Which has reunited me with lovely PB and wow seeing the upcoming roadmap updates I am extremely excited

    We are heading into peak reading time imo - there’s nothing stopping me, a book and a patch of grass to read on in the sun! So want to spread the joy and see what’s everyone else latest gooooood book, where is your ideal place to read it and what are most excited for on the roadmap cause it’s looking spicy

    What a fucking story. Haha it was so good! There were moments where I actually felt my heart racing because I was on edge till the end (literally till the last scene I was like NO WAY ARE THEY GOING TO GET THEM IN THE EPILOGUE).

    Not even past the 3rd paragraph and my attention zoomed into all the obscure items she carried with her. 😣

    Five minutes figuring how to move my budget around to get a set of 3 mugs with croissant handles. I don’t even like croissants. 😖🙄
