5โญ๏ธ. I love a Dracula retelling. This one did NOT disappoint. Charlotte Cross gives a voice to Dracula's women through letters and diary entries. The atmosphere is pure gothic dread. The sapphic romance at the center absolutely wrecked me. Heartbreaking, haunting, and impossible to put down.

Yes! That one was so good!
Anderson in Bloom had all the ingredients I wanted sapphic second-chance romance and enemies-to-lovers tension. That said, the pacing drags in the middle and the miscommunication gets a little exhausting. A solid read if you love the tropes. It's a perfectly fine cozy afternoon book. 3โญ๏ธ
A haunting debut that uses Jewish folklore to explore what violence truly costs a community across generations. Sher's "Odessa" follows a grief-stricken father who uses Kabbalistic magic to resurrect his daughter after a pogrom and the horror that follows is as much human as supernatural. 4/5 โญ

Just finished my first book. Time to switch to audiobook and try a new (to me) game.
Got stuck in Minneapolis until this blizzard passes. How many books can I read between now and Monday at noon?
(I'm aiming for 2)
Yay! Found a flight out Monday! Now we can just hunker down at our hotel and sit out this blizzard!
Flights got canceled because of a snow storm. Finger crossed we will be able to find another flight.
Finished packing and decided to get some knitting in while I watch some Jujutsu Kaisen.
Tagging along on the hubby's work trip to Hawaii. Here is my trip TBR:
๐ The Dawnhounds
๐ Devil of the Deep
๐ Lunar Boy
๐ง The Woods All Black

How many will I get through through in a week?

Omg! This dystopian romance was a 5โญ๏ธ read from start to finish.
Yep. This is me. My rule is if I pause a book 3x, I can assume its the book and not my chaotic reading mood. Then I will DNF.
The Trans Rights Readathon is happening 17th to 31st March!
This is a brilliant annual event that runs through TikTok and Insta, and it would be great to get BlueSky more involved!
More info โฌ๏ธ. You can sign up, but not essential. Just support trans books & orgs!

Relatable.
Look at how cute my Kobo is starting to look! Just need a few more filler stickers and she'll be done!
Omg...sdv is so addicting.
Turned on my audiobook and was asleep within 5 minutes ๐คฃ
Can't sleep. Guess I'll turn on my audiobook.

In my earbuds today.
Really missing being able to WFH. I'd give anything to be working from bed right now.
It's literally the worst.
Currently reading House of Margins by Tlotlo Tsamaase and Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe
