IM BACK!!

 Hi everyone!

I am back from my haitus. I am sorry I have been MIA. I have been pretty busy. I am back though. 

Where do I begin???

I just finished Keeping 13 the other day, and I read a few pages in Saving 6. I havent had much time to read. I started a new job so that had been taking up my time. I have also been posting alot on my booktok. If you haven't followed me on there, I would suggest to give me a follow!

I'm gonna try to read some more and I will be back to you.

XOXO,

Monday ~ June 30

Hello!! Again, I am so sorry there was no post yesterday. I have been terrible.

Anyways, I've been slowly reading Keeping 13 but I have been a little busy. I've been loving it though nonetheless. I am really enjoying Johnny and Shannon's relationship. Boys of Tommen has slowly became one of my favorite series. These characters are living rent free in my head. I am not mad about it though. 

If I get to finish this book this week, I will be reading the next book in the series, Saving 6. I will be sad that I will no longer be reading about Johnny and Shannon but I have heard good things about the rest of the series. 

As usual, keep up with me on my Tiktok, Insta, and Goodreads accounts! I'll be there.

Binding 13 ~ Thursday June 26

 Hi Besties!

I did not post my random ramblings yesterday so I apologize! I did not get arounf to it because I was so hooked on starting Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh. 

Here is my Binding 13 Review. 

Synopsis: 

"Binding 13" tells the story of Shannon Lynch, a young woman who transfers to a new school, Tommen College, seeking a fresh start after years of bullying.She unexpectedly catches the eye of Johnny Kavanagh, a popular rugby player, despite her attempts to remain unnoticed. Johnny, grappling with a painful injury that threatens his career, is drawn to Shannon's vulnerability and hidden bruises. Their connection deepens, but both characters are hesitant to reveal their past traumas, leading to a relationship filled with tension and undeniable attraction.

Review: 4.5 🌟

This book was so good! I totally loved Johnny, but the slow burn was a bit much for me. Still, I couldn’t stop reading and ended up glued to it for four hours! My heart really hurt for Shannon. But the way everything came together with them was awesome. That cliffhanger at the end? Ugh, I need to dive into the next book right away! I get why everyone is all about "Binding 13." I had never read a slow burn before but it was definitely sooo slowburn. Like I did not get any romacne until the end. It was overal a good book though. I was debating between a 4 and 5 star. So, I am settling on 4.5 stars.

 Hi Besties,

Kindle Unlimited has quickly become my new best friend, providing me with endless reading options. I recently started Binding 13, and I’m finding it quite engaging; the storyline and characters have already captured my attention. I’m also considering starting Mile High by Liz Tomforde, which has received great reviews and seems like a fun read. Lately, I've been struggling to find time for reading due to my busy schedule, so I’ve been making it a point to read at night when things settle down. In fact, I haven't picked up a physical book in quite a while; most of my reading has been digital. In addition to my reading, I've been actively posting on my BookTok account. I try to share new content at least twice a day, discussing the books I'm reading and interacting with fellow book lovers. Although I haven't received many likes or followers yet, I view it as a work in progress and am excited to continue building my presence in the book community.

XOXO,

The Persistence of Thornes Review

The Persistence of Thornes Review: 4 🌟; 5🌶

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/226619666-the-persistence-of-thornes 

Synopsis:

"The Persistence of Thornes" follows Halle, a young woman who becomes the guardian of her teenage twin brothers at 23. She moves to Hawthorne Mills seeking a fresh start, but unexpectedly finds herself navigating the challenges of parenthood while also dealing with her past and a growing attraction to her charming neighbor, Caleb Thorne. Caleb, a member of the town's founding family, is persistent in his attempts to help Halle, despite her stubbornness and desire for independence. As Halle struggles with her brothers' teenage drama and her own personal demons, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Caleb, even as she fears her happiness won't last.

Review: 

Wow. This is a small town romance with found family, complicated pasts, and a guy who refuses to give up on the girl who swears she doesnt deserve him. It follows Halle, a twenty-three-year-old trying to raise her two teenage brothers after life completely falls apart, and Caleb- the town’s golden boy who won’t leave her alone, no matter how many walls she puts up. It’s emotional, it’s messy in the best way. The romance was so so good! Caleb is such a swwet guy, and he is definitely a book bf favorite. This book was so well written, and really dived into their story. The ending was so unexpected, but it ended well. I loved how this book was interconnected with her other series -The Confidence of Wildflowers. I rated this book a 4 stars! And the spice level was definitely a 5, but it was so good! It was also cool to see how the title really ties into the book!

Random Ramblings ~June 18

Hey everyone! Welcome to the second edition of Random Ramblings!

My random rambling is my kindle. I've been reading on my IPAD instead of physical books recently. I have been getting through a lot more books by doing this. It has been great. The motivation is flowing, and I could probably up my reading goal. Micalea Smeltzer has become one of my favorite authors and I am not mad about it! I could never figure out how to cancel my kindle unlimited after I did a free trial. So, it was just charging me each month and I was not using it. Now, I have been and it has been the best experience!!

XOXO,
