AHHHHHHHHH

Lavender House

Started it, first chapter was fine, then got this horrible flu that is going around and was barely functioning for almost a week. I've watched a lot of RHOBH, feel dumber, and the sight of this book reminds me of feeling ill. Flu season casualty, I'm sure it's a great book. 

Beautifully written, with the dream-like quality of a fairytale. However, it's extremely short and therefore sacrifices character development and world building to advance the plot. I think I will enjoy slowly reading this with my kid one day, but did not enjoy reading it myself as much as I thought I would. 

A bit of a slow start,  especially for a short book, but the payoff is fantastic. This was lovely. I feel like my whole being is smiling. 

Homeland

R.A. Salvatore

DID NOT FINISH

Going to skip this trilogy and move ahead in the series. No interest in what this is trying to do. 

Mistakes Were Made

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

I was excited about this premise, sounded fun and super hot, but the writing style wasn't for me. 

Edit: after reading some reviews, I skim-read the entire thing for the smut. No regrets lol, but my skim-reading also didn't turn up much in the way of plot. It was all very quickly handled, and light. Not inherently bad, I just prefer my romance to dig into things a little more. If you're looking for a decently smutty, fluffier read, this will likely work for you.
