I’ll spend the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim. This is the next book in the Owlcrate buddy read group with Leslie, Ali, and Julie. I forgot that it’s a Monte Cristo retelling and I love that book so I’m keen to see how faithfully or differently it tells the story. I’m quite behind compared to the others so I have much to catch up on! 🫣

I’ve spent my Sunday in bed with Lights Out by Navessa Allen. This is a dark romance that I’ve been seeing everyone read and love recently and so I wanted to see what the hype was about. I get the appeal and I’m enjoying it a lot, but I wouldn’t say I’m blown away by it. That said, I think it’s the kind of dark romance that’ll still be palatable for many romance readers, even those who don’t normally read this sub-genre. I’m keen to read more!

I think I’ll spend the rest of my Sunday trying to finish The Library of the Unwritten by A. J. Hackwith. I’m just over halfway through now (56%) and I’m still really enjoying it. When my brain let’s it, it’s providing a great distraction from reality, and as you’ll read below, I really need that right now.

I’ll be spending my Sunday reading The Raven and the Dove by Kaitlyn Davis. I’m embarrassed to admit that this is one of my oldest overdue ARCs. I’ve been trying to read this for the past… four years and every single time, I could never make it past the first two chapters. It took a few days for me to get past that point this time, but I’ve now made it to 50%! It’s a bit info dumpy and overly-written but otherwise, okay so far.
