  • E-Reader Recommendations

    Currently I read my ebooks either on my phone or my iPad, but honestly neither are ideal. I'm considering getting an E-Reader but I'm overwhelmed with options so I thought I would reach out here.

    My only real requirement is to be able to load epubs on it, so it doesn't need to be super fancy. Ideally it would be larger than my phone, but smaller than my iPad. And if I have the ability to highlight sections that would be amazing, but not a deal breaker.

    What E-Reader are you using or would you recommend?

  • Now that I’ve Finished the Fall Readalong…

    I made it!!! Phew. That was a lot of work honey. I thought I’d offer some tips for anyone starting the readalong. A Dowry of Blood and Tender is the Flesh felt the shortest to me, so I would try and space these out between the longer reads. The Spellshop and Blood Over Bright Haven felt longer to me. If you need something lighter and not so scary, use The Spellshop as your buffer between the heavier books… My last read was Tender. I can’t believe I finished the Fall Readalong with Tender is the Flesh 🫣 but honestly it served spooky vibes for sure. I’d love to hear where everyone else is at with the Fall Readalong! Let me know what % you’re at and if you need some encouragement!

    I’m telling myself I can be brave

    Look. Do I want to read this book? NO. Have I decided, based on absolutely nothing but a wish and a dream, that I want the sporkle sporkle badge of halloweeny coolness? Yes.

  • Only 2 books left of the Fall Read A Long!!

    Which should I read next? Don't Let the Forest In or Blood Over Bright Haven

    Also what are your rankings of the 5 books so far? I definitely feel like A Dowry of Blood will at the top for me!
