I listened to this on the recommendation of my #booksister @HOTPock3tt and absolutely loved it.

Funny, ridiculous, cute, and sexy all at once. Everything you want in a romcom. 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Off to watch the movie!

These books are so stupidly addictive… fortunately, they continue to improve as the series goes along. I‘m continuing to alternate between being obsessed with and wanting to smack most of the characters, but if I‘m not reading one of these books, I am still thinking about them. 😬

On to book 4, which has me nervous as my #booksister was shook when she finished it on our reading retreat. 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

KristiAhlers I‘m reading this book right this second! I agree ridiculously addictive and I‘m ok with that. Total chunkster read 💜 and chunkster books make the world go round for me! 2y
sprainedbrain @KristiAhlers they are so chunky! 2y
HOTPock3tt I‘m STILL Shook! 😶lol! @sprainedbrain 2y

I have succumbed to the hype.

This series is huge on Booktok, and my #booksister has been burning through them, so I had to check it out.

It‘s definitely adult Hogwarts but with fae (+vampires, shifters, sirens etc), sex, and SO MUCH bullying. Seriously these people are mean. It‘s not the best written thing I‘ve ever read, but it‘s far from the worst, too. It‘s addicting as hell and I will be continuing. 😅

I don‘t have words for how awesome my weekend was! @HOTPock3tt and I went to a book lovers retreat at the cutest bed & breakfast. The owners provided us with fantastic meals, ample spots indoors and outdoors to read, music and stories. We made some excellent new book buddies, had great conversations, painted a little, ate a lot, and READ for 3 days.

The best part was finally being with my #booksister in person after years of Litsy friendship!❤️

AmyG How wonderful!!! ❤️ 2y

JamieArc Awesome! And I need to know more! Did you decide to do this with a bunch of friends? Was it organized by the owner of the B&B? I‘m curious because I would love to do a reading retreat with others but am afraid they wouldn‘t actually want to read, lol 😂 @sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt 2y
sprainedbrain @JamieArc haha! The inn that we went to organized the whole thing… they do this several times a year (set aside weekends just for book lovers). Kenya went looking for a readers retreat kind of thing that we could meet at, but the other people that were there were all on their own and none of us knew each other. Bookriot actually had a blog about this inn: https://bookriot.com/diy-reading-retreat/ It really was incredible! ❤️ 2y
JamieArc @sprainedbrain That‘s awesome. It‘s only 5 hours from me, so I‘m going to have to put this on my bucket list! 2y
sprainedbrain @JamieArc if you follow them on Facebook, I think they said the next book lovers weekend would be in January. One of the ladies there with us this time was on her second book lovers weekend, and I am sure I will go back! 2y

It has been so fun to keep receiving these Outlander gifts from my #booksister Kenya while we are both making our way through Go Tell the Bees… the book itself is like a huge, long, warm hug and Kenya‘s lovely gifts have only enhanced the experience. 🐝

Thank you, my friend! ❤️

Buddy read with #BookSister Jenni @sprainedbrain
If only I could convey what a unique EXPERIENCE this was! ❤️it‘s character driven with some of the most fun, intriguing and entertaining characters I‘ve read for a long time. Such an engrossing storyline, it was about more than the blurb tells you: not just about New York. Lots of hilarious scenes! With socially relevant themes too. Bring on book 2! 🙌🏽#AuthorAMonth

Oh my goodness WHO SENT THIS TO ME? 😍

I‘m afraid to break the seal, but I can tell from the label that it was a gift, sent to me from an Etsy store, but it doesn‘t say who from?! I‘m guessing it‘s from one of the #PemberLittens??

Chrissyreadit 😍😍😍😍😍😍we need to know! 4y
sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit was it you?? 🤔 4y
Chrissyreadit No!!!! I‘m not that good at Etsy! 4y

AmyG I saw this on Etsy! When I was doing the Austen swap. 4y
wanderinglynn 😍😍😍 gorgeous! Open it! 4y
sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit @AmyG @wanderinglynn I opened the letter and it‘s every bit as gorgeous as one would think. Mr. Darcy was quite the writer! 😉 But nothing else in here to tell me who it was from!! (edited) 4y
wanderinglynn How lovely! Maybe someone will speak up. 4y
Texreader What a terrific mystery!! 4y
jdiehr What a great gift! 4y

HOTPock3tt I sent it!! Why didn‘t it have my name on it?!?!😭😭😭 I hate being so bad with technology. Last time I try something like that! 😂 *Sigh* 😔 @sprainedbrain 4y
sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt I don‘t think it was your fault! It kinda looks like part of the message cut off. And it happened to be the part with who it was from. I ❤️ you, #booksister! 4y
HOTPock3tt I love you too!! #Booksister! Hope you enjoy it!! ❤️❤️❤️ @sprainedbrain 4y
Chrissyreadit @HOTPock3tt you are the best gift giver ever!!!!!! 4y
HOTPock3tt @Chrissyreadit Thanks Chrissy!!! ❤️ you are really sweet to say so! I‘m just hoping it goes a bit more smoothly next time! 😂 (edited) 4y

I haven‘t been on Litsy for a minute... but only a person who knows me REALLY well could‘ve picked a collection that is so specific to all of my obsessions 😍❤️😁: ACOMAF, Rebecca, My Harry Potter house, and magnus/Alec from shadow hunters!
thank you soo much Jenni!! @sprainedbrain I love you!! 💜 #BookSister

sprainedbrain Awww, I love you too! I‘m sorry your Christmas present didn‘t come before Christmas. 🤣 4y
HOTPock3tt No worries!! Thank you soo much! 🙃🤤I‘ll admit I was shocked at how dead on everything was!! I must talk about my obsessions entirely too much! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @sprainedbrain 4y
sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt I wanted to get you an Outlander one, too, but couldn‘t get one from this Etsy shop. ☺️ 4y
