Back Up

Happenings Away From The Blog Oh boy, this week was different. Marcel had to stay home for two days because he came in contact with someone at school that had Covid. This means I had to stay home for two days as well. We are fine, we didn’t get sick. I used those two days to get caught up on book reviews and whatnot. You can probably tell because of the back-posted reviews that I made. Marcel also lost his second tooth last night! Pumpkin Spice is finally back at Starbucks. I do not spend money at Starbucks any other time of year. When they have Pumpkin Spice, I’m broke. I know it’s like super basic white girl stuff. I don’t care. It’s so yummy. I’ve become addicted to Animal Crossing again. I’m currently trying to type this post up as fast as I can so that I can play. I started my island over because I honestly was so unhappy with how I did everything and I just didn’t feel like paying to move everything around. So, I started over. Makes sense.

But that's about to change... When Martin Krause arrives at Rose Owens's high school, she's determined to remain chilly with her new colleague. Unfriendly? Maybe. Understandable? Yes, since a loathsome administrator gave Rose's beloved world history classes to Martin, knowing it would hurt her.

Especially when she begins to see him for what he truly is: a man who's never been taught his own value. Martin could use a good teacher--and luckily, Rose is the best. Rose has her own lessons--about trust, about vulnerability, about her past--to learn. And over the course of a single school year, the two of them will find out just how hot it can get

Links Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Kindle ~ Book Depository My Review I never thought there would be a day where I rated a Colleen Hoover book under three stars. There’s always a first for everything, I guess. I’m not even going to lie, I read this and counted it as three different books. I gotta work on my Goodreads goal 😆 Never Never follows C

Happenings Away From The Blog Honestly, I’ve been an absolute mess. As you can probably tell, I stopped blogging for a little bit. That is mostly due to my mental health getting pretty bad. I had a couple of mental breakdowns in the last two weeks and I’m honestly just so tired. We have decided to not move. That was too much stress to try and deal with along with everything else going on. So, we’re staying in our apartment that we’ve been in since 2012. I’m perfectly fine with that. We’ll move on when we’re ready. A new thing that has recently happened. Our bearded dragon is either ill or has a broken bone in his leg. We’re currently trying our hardest to help take care of him until we’re able to get him into a vet. (There aren’t that many vets in our area that take reptiles.) This has ultimately just completely ruined me because I know there’s nothing I can do besides making him as comfortable as possible. I’m working on my mental health day by day. If there is a week where I don’t po

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

About The Book Title: Winterwood Author: Shea Ernshaw Genre: Young Adult Fantasy Pages: 323 Rating: ★★★ Synopsis: Be careful of the dark, dark wood… Especially the woods surrounding the town of Fir Haven. Some say these woods are magical. Haunted, even. Rumored to be a witch, only Nora Walker knows the truth. She and the Walker women before her have always shared a special connection with the woods. And it’s this special connection that leads Nora to Oliver Huntsman—the same boy who disappeared from the Camp for Wayward Boys weeks ago—and in the middle of the worst snowstorm in years. He should be dead, but here he is alive, and left in the woods with no memory of the time he’d been missing. But Nora can feel an uneasy shift in the woods at Oliver’s presence.

Wha

About The Book Title: Neon Gods Series: Dark Olympus (#1) Author: Katee Robert Genre: Adult Romance Pages: 380 Rating: ★★★★ Synopsis: He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell... he was, quite simply, mine.
