Hi bookworms! I’m in need of a new ereader but don’t want to support Amazon anymore. Do any other devices support reading arcs from netgalley? Not a huge fan of the netgalley reader app, so really hoping there is a way to send the file to other device types like you can with kindles.

Aisle seats are the worst??? Get outta my face with that nonsense. You can get up whenever you want without having to bother someone else, it's the best, and I'm sticking to it. Middle seat is obviously the worst.

Every time the thread count of sheets is mentioned in a book I remember that I should really go and treat myself to some nice sheets. I wanna be the fancy, put together person described in books with high thread count sheets lol

okay.... listen before I get destroyed I understand some people see Emily as a character that might have autism, and while I understand why some people believe that, I just think she is just not good rep (I am not diagnosed, yet I have read and heard people that have autism agree with me) , that being said I am just a person with an opinion, if you have autism and relate to Emily, that is great and this is in no way an attack on you.

My opinion of her is that some of the things she says and thinks are giving more the vibe of " judgmental academic archetype who is socially unaware and knows what they say might come off as mean, but doesn't care because "science first" mentality and because they are doing academic work", as well as a bit of "I'm not like other girls, they all fall for Wendell's charms and enjoy talking to people, but I have a messy bun and enjoy books and eating instead, but I also skip breakfast and don't eat much". Am I shit at social situations? Some of the time, yes. Do I prefer to eat in silence alone without human interaction? Also yes. My problem with Emily is that it feels like she comes off as more judgmental than simply "I'm bad at socializing and enjoy solitude". If you need more clarification I will gladly do so, English is my second language and my brain is not exactly working at 100% right now lol

I also have my issues with the plot, but just like with Emily's characterization, I can't say much without spoilers.

I have just heard about the changeling arc and how it can be problematic, I will do a bit more research, but this book is shaping up to be a DNF. I will try to reach 50% at least before coming to a decision.

Really enjoying how much this feels like every single Cheese-y Holiday movie ever made all rolled into one! The town being called Snow Falls, all the puns for the shop names, the meet-cutes and general vibes of the story!

I just started the audiobook, which is read by the author, and I find it really lovely that you can hear her turning the pages while she reads. There's just something so cozy about it to me. Like being read a bedtime story.
