pickWhat a beautiful and evocative story. If you love books from Catherine Ryan Hyde, you will enjoy this. It has a beautiful message and some poignant moments that will stay with you. I'm adding it to my favorites even though I may not give it 5 stars. It's more like a 4 star read with 5 star takeaways. The brutal scene in this was extremely hard to read, yet the aftermath had such an emotional impact on me.

pickThis hit the spot!
I absolutely love Jane Austen's Persuasion, so spin offs make me nervous but this was so good! I am a bit annoyed about the Taylor Swift references but I thought this was great. It is a small town romance with lots of quirky characters, but didn't feel like a Hallmark that demonizes working women - in fact Anne is the hardest worker (for obvious reasons)
I thought this was charming, and lived the goose!
Sorry for the feed flood but I‘m in a meeting and bored so 🤷🏾♀️.

so-soThis one was also okay. Some sections went on too long, especially the third half of the book. The dialogue felt awkward at points. The romance scenes were cringey and the reasoning behind the streamed games felt uninspired.
I wonder if some of these spells are like a copyright infringement because “Magic Hand“ isn't exactly what Mage Hand is called 😅
A bit of a spoiler, I guess, so I will tag it as such. I am already having an issue with this twist, not from a writing perspective, but more because I have seen things like that happen way too often.
So this character is saying, how they wouldn't be streaming if it didn't get views, and expressing desires to make it as big as CR or other big/famous liveplays, and I just find that very pathetic. Because people who click on liveplays--
so-soI may have liked this more if I read it instead of listening to it. The reader sounded too old for the FMC, and there was too much internal dialogue in the midst of conversations with others. Those things may not have bugged me if I read it. I do love the happy ending though!
pickBook 32 of 2025. We‘re watching the series, so I figured I would read the books first! I really enjoyed these! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Books count, right??
I collected Beatrix Potter and Boyd‘s Bears figurines as a child. It‘s mostly just books now lol.
