5/5 ⭐️ Heartbreaking but beautiful! One of the reasons I loved this story was because of the setting in the UP of Michigan. The UP will always hold a piece of my heart. My grandpa was from there and even had Obijwe ancestry. I ended up going to university at Michigan Tech and lived there for almost a decade. While reading I knew the places, the roads, and the food they talked about.
I want to work on reading more marginalized voices. I am going to put in the work to listen, learn, and grow.
My plan is to pick a book to read and then have a discussion at the end of the month.

4/5 ⭐️ The 5th one isn't in the database. I enjoyed the story but I have one grievance. The author changed the last name of one of the side characters, then in the next book that I've already started, they changed it back! 🙄🤦🏼♀️

4.5/5 ⭐️ Enemies to lovers ghost story! Cara is a ghost speaker and ends up helping her school rival when he turns up dead in the woods. I hope this is the first in a series because it set up things for more adventures!

I painted this statue to look like my pup, Zola, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! #LitsyCrafters

2.5/5 ⭐️ This was just OK. It's a murder mystery in a fantasy setting. I just never felt invested in the story and don't feel compelled to continue with the sequel.
