I signed up for another “letter” service - the Fae Letters. This one is weekly and told in second person, with me being a heroine! What sold me to purchase the year subscription is there‘s a QR code of the male Cad reading his diary letters to the listener; I‘m all about the audio experience these days.

Went to the Books and Brews event over the weekend and purchased this book! It may be a little too risqué for me, there were a lot of trigger warnings at the beginning. But, I also feel the need to read it and see for myself.

Listening to my friend and author‘s #audiobook!

I initially was a beta reader for her book around seven years ago when she was working on the story. I remember the major scenes, but many of the smaller details got lost. It‘s a nice reread!

Had Victorian Book Club at the Upton House museum. The coordinator makes up such fun alliteration titles for our snacks! And very thoughtful questions to aid discussion.

I‘m not a fan of the book. Emma got on my nerves and made bad choices. I also learned not to solely use credit for purchases, so I won‘t go into debt.

Lcsmcat Emma annoyed me, too. 1w

The Pirate King's Thief | Alisha Klapheke

This book was okay, easy read, everything gets resolved, HEA. Some of the dialogue was hokey, it was trying to hard to be funny. The author tried to channel Wesley from The Princess Bride. I could have used a little more world building, especially with the pirate bard being part fae, it was more a fact than part of his character. I appreciated the memory loss being curse bound and fixable. Little dragon action, would have liked to know more.

I listened to the Graphic Audio #audiobook and was thrilled with my selection!

Some things were predictable, while a couple items surprised me. I “rode and did not die,” so I‘m in on the hype!

Though, I was disappointed in the big battle scene - Violet was practically useless - her ability didn‘t grow with the task set before her. She definitely frustrated me there.

This whole series has Disney reimaginings. This one is Tangled! There are many similarities to the movie. While some of them seem a bit out of place for this narrative. The climatic scene is a little too tidy and there‘s only a paragraph conclusion. Overall a good book. I appreciated the slow build romance, both changed, and they do get their HEA ❤️

This was super enjoyable to read! It‘s one that made me want to delay bed time lol

The writing is done well, fast paced. The characters are super believable and are both rounded out by the end, each had something to learn. There are a couple spicy scenes, but done emotionally well.

Reminded me of my time spent living in the dorms at university. A very relatable book for me.

*spoiler alert 😂 some books and movies have their endings spoiled!

Many might not know his name, but may have heard his voice! Simon Vance has narrated many an #audiobook from the Temeraire series to the Aubrey/Maturin series to the Dune series! His voice is grand in style, comfortable in both male and female voices and dialects. When I listen to his stories I‘m transported inside the narrative thanks to his voice.

His in-house recording studio burned along with his house in the Eaton, California fires. ⬇️

CrowCAH @Seabreeze_Reader @tpixie @Zuhkeeyah @BiblioLitten all sounds wonderful to drink on this hot tea day! 2mo
SpeculativeFemale @CrowCAH Yes, it's a blend that usually includes chamomile and some other herbs. Different companies have different blends. My favorite includes spearmint. 2mo
CrowCAH @SpeculativeFemale very nice! 👍🏻 Sleep tight 😴 2mo
Amiable @CrowCAH Sleepytime is made by Celestial Seasonings and contains camomile. I also like Bigelow‘s Sweet Dreams tea, which adds valerian with the camomile. Not sure if it really puts you to sleep but it‘s still a soothing nighttime ritual for me. 🙂 2mo
tpixie @Amiable I‘ll have to try bigelow. I don‘t like camomile, so it has to be hidden a little. The spearmint may help with that also. I also don‘t like chocolate or vanilla in tea, otherwise I love tea! 2mo
CrowCAH @Amiable I think the ritual or routine is what gets the body ready for bed. But drinking a warm drink before bed can‘t hurt. It‘s kind of like the warm milk idea. 2mo
CrowCAH @tpixie same. I‘m not such a huge fan of camomile myself. 2mo
Read4life @TheBookHippie introduced me to Clipper Strawberry & Elderflower tea. It quickly became my favorite. I don‘t like sweet and this is flavorful but subtle. @tpixie I am also not a fan of chamomile. I also enjoy both Irish & English Breakfast teas. 2mo
