We're on an hour* wait at a restaurant. I just saw a couple walk by and the guy said, "Oh, dear ๐Ÿฅบ." The woman with him is dressed up super cute, and she looked annoyed already. And so the Valentine's Day bullshit begins ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ. Dude, why didn't you get a reservation somewhere?! 1/2

I've DNFed 9 books this year. 9!! Ranged from 13% to 80%. It really kills my mood.
I put Daggermouth and A Hemorrhage of Us (I'm at 3% in both) on hold because I have high hopes for them. I'm not ready to risk it yet ๐Ÿฅบ
I might have to reread one of favorites

Screenshot of kindle app with a section highlighted: 

"It will be okay."

It wouldn't, but hearing that meant more to me than he probably realized.

"I will make it okay," he added, a promise I knew would be broken the second those doors swung shut behind him.

No one had ever called me pretty before. I'd been called plenty of things. Smart, stubborn, sweet. Gullible, forgiving, blind. But never pretty.

Pretty was a word reserved for girls, action stars, and botanical gardens. It was a delicate word. Soft. It smelled like fresh cut fruit and springtime blossoms. If it had a sound, it'd ring like bells. Pretty was the shade of my mother's lipstick.

It wasn't for me. Or at least...I hadn't thought it was.

Until now.

My husband has been growling more than usual. I blame bookstagram since he gets recommendations from there.

Was it you, Quicksilver?! Zodiac Academy? Jasmine Mas?!
Whose fault is this because I recommended him Aiden Thomas and Alix E. Harrow

I stopped reading Daggermouth and Captive Prince earlier this week b/c they were too heavy with the way work was going.

Picked You're Not My King b/c I THOUGHT it was just a short gay monster romance. But I'm a dumbass. It's not short. It's 300 something pages & about slavery, but in a "fun" way.

Looking for a monster romance that has a lot of angst and discusses the complexities of falling in love with a creature that your instincts are screaming for you to run away from, or on the monster's side, fighting against your instincts to eat them

I'm getting a $1,500 raise next year to compensate for health insurance, and my boss is taking a pay cut to do that. That's great and all, and I'm grateful, but it's ridiculous that it even has to be a thing.

Repetitive. There was a description that was given three different ways on the same page.

Seleste is entirely reactive to Ambrose. That's all her character is. We barely know anything about her family. They come out briefly to show how upset she is about them not accepting that she doesn't have magic and then they go away.

There's nothing else going on outside of them being together. There are multiple times jumps that bring them back to his burrow.

There's so much telling about what happens when they're not together, but we don't get to see any of it! Seleste goes out of town with her family. Do we get to see ANY of it?? Nope. Ambrose is without her for weeks, and do we get to see what he does?? Nope.

They're fated mates, and that's it. There's nothing else going for them as individuals.

Honestly, maybe she should have fucked him in unicorn form. That would have at least been interesting.

DNF at 37%. I really wanted to read A Burning Oath. I'm so upset ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I should have suspected something was up when the author only advertised with the spicy scenes
