/ how’s the weekend going? I am quite tired. A / how’s the weekend going?

I am quite tired. A newborn and parenting two littles, it’s next level for me, but we’re managing. It’s been 3 weeks since baby 2 graced us with his presence. 

And my postpartum belly is popping in and saying hello 👋 I will say recovery this time around has been great. The aftercare I received was the absolute best and the support I have at home has been solid. The real test is when my parents head back home. Not mentally ready for that ...

Okay! I was tagged by @murderino_reads in a #paperbackpotentials #bookstackchallenge. And it’s pretty much paperbacks you’re hoping to read from this year. 

I tend to read slower when it comes to paperbacks since I mostly read at night. A few of these were sent to me and some are recs. Now that I don’t have an ARC filled reading schedule, I have more time to read books I’ve been wanting to get to. 

With another reading challenge, it’s a digital journal spread I can add 😉

Tagging a few people for this challenge!
/ read from any new to you authors this year? I a / read from any new to you authors this year?

I always make a point to read from new to me authors every year. And anthologies have been my way to go. There’s several new ones that I can’t wait to read more from. 

Thank you to @inkslingerpr for the epic #bookmail , looking forward to giving these a go!

/ did you snag any new releases this month? My co / did you snag any new releases this month?

My copy of #ACOSF is here and I’ve been soooo eager to read. Cassian is probs my favorite character and Nesta intrigues the hell out of me.

Also, support indie bookstores if you can. Ordered my copy from @bsb_savoy, my book was all bundled up with some extra cushion. I appreciate that 😊

Thankfully I've been able to get a decent amount of reading done. It's mainly whenever I have to feed baby 2. I've had to throw a couple of monthly challenges out the window, which is what I kind of expected.
▪
I've nearly read through my recent ARCs list and I can finally dive back into other books I had to push aside. Like this #bookmail, I started it about a week ago and was hooked. A small town, second chance and single parent romance. Tropes I absolutely love!
▪
If you're a fan of all these tropes and the one and only, @corinnemichaels, add this to your tbr. It releases this Tuesday!

Thank you @corinnemichaels and @valentine_pr_ for the epic book mail! ♡

▪
Thought I'd pop in real quick. Baby 2 arrived a little over a week ago, 2 weeks before his due date. So life has been busy, trying to get as much sleep as possible and overall focusing on my recovery. It's tough not to push myself too hard because I'm in the 'need to get things done' mode.
▪
Thankfully I have a lot of help especially on the days when I really just need to lay down and relax. I've been able to get some reading in, which has been the absolute best. I'm just happy that I can I focus a little to get lost in books 😊
▪
Hope everyone's having a great weekend ♡
▪
I took part in Kim's Galentine exchange ( @ kimberlyfayereads) and here's what I got from @erinsdimple! I demolished my new favorite candy of chewy sour nerds. I've been craving the chewy runts that are no longer being made. So this is the best alternative. And some Nalini Singh books and a ☕ mug that's rather dazzling. Love it all, thank you!

Clothes and more clothes. Do I need them? Of course not, but I'm still buying it. Oh... and special edition covers... 😳
▪
Soooo, this may be my last post for some time. I'm being realistic for February since I'll have my hands full with baby 2 and little one. With kids, routines are a must and this will be a huge transition for everyone. For now, I'm just going to take it one day at a time. I'll still pop in my stories and people's DMs, that's where I'm at the most, anyways.
▪
I had all the intention of taking photos in advance, but I'm at that point where everything's becoming a bit too much. I'm just very uncomfortable and so very tired. We're almost there though! 
▪
Got this lovely bookmark from @theseasonalpages, wish I could be in the mountains and soaking up all that beautiful nature!
▪
Use code 'romschmo' to save!!! Eventually, I'll share some stickers that I've been using digitally from there, soo in love.

I've been reading a lot of fantasy and paranormal romance. It's been a bit of a mixed bag of whether I liked they ones I've read. And with next month being another with more of the same genre, hopefully I'll have some favorites. Honestly, let's see if I'll be getting any reading done.
▪
I just finished a rather enjoyable YA fantasy series and I need some steammmmmmmmmmm. This book seems to fit the bill, have you read it?!

Still haven't turned my books around from my impromptu maternity shoot. Perhaps someday... after the baby comes. 😂

And Wild,Wild Rake kicked things off for me, this year. Rake (well not the tool to collect leaves) and vicar were fairly new terms to, so it was interesting to learn about what that actually entailed in this one.

          With this being my first read by Janna, I was completely sucked in from the very beginning. She even had my heart breaking and about ready to break down and cry because of what Avalon was put through by her horrible husband. Ten years later and a widow, she definitely made the most of her life and of course, Devan was coming to shake things up. And I was here for every moment of it. by Janna MacGregor★★★★

              / how’s the weekend going? I am quite tired. A / how’s the weekend going?

I am quite tired. A newborn and parenting two littles, it’s next level for me, but we’re managing. It’s been 3 weeks since baby 2 graced us with his presence. 

And my postpartum belly is popping in and saying hello 👋 I will say recovery this time around has been great. The aftercare I received was the absolute best and the support I have at home has been solid. The real test is when my parents head back home. Not mentally ready for that ...

Okay! I was tagged by @murderino_reads in a #paperbackpotentials #bookstackchallenge. And it’s pretty much paperbacks you’re hoping to read from this year. 

I tend to read slower when it comes to paperbacks since I mostly read at night. A few of these were sent to me and some are recs. Now that I don’t have an ARC filled reading schedule, I have more time to read books I’ve been wanting to get to. 

With another reading challenge, it’s a digital journal spread I can add 😉

Tagging a few people for this challenge!
              / read from any new to you authors this year? I a / read from any new to you authors this year?

I always make a point to read from new to me authors every year. And anthologies have been my way to go. There’s several new ones that I can’t wait to read more from. 

Thank you to @inkslingerpr for the epic #bookmail , looking forward to giving these a go!

My copy of #ACOSF is here and I’ve been soooo eager to read. Cassian is probs my favorite character and Nesta intrigues the hell out of me.

Also, support indie bookstores if you can. Ordered my copy from @bsb_savoy, my book was all bundled up with some extra cushion. I appreciate that 😊

Thankfully I've been able to get a decent amount of reading done. It's mainly whenever I have to feed baby 2. I've had to throw a couple of monthly challenges out the window, which is what I kind of expected.
▪
I've nearly read through my recent ARCs list and I can finally dive back into other books I had to push aside. Like this #bookmail, I started it about a week ago and was hooked. A small town, second chance and single parent romance. Tropes I absolutely love!
▪
If you're a fan of all these tropes and the one and only, @corinnemichaels, add this to your tbr. It releases this Tuesday!

Thought I'd pop in real quick. Baby 2 arrived a little over a week ago, 2 weeks before his due date. So life has been busy, trying to get as much sleep as possible and overall focusing on my recovery. It's tough not to push myself too hard because I'm in the 'need to get things done' mode.
▪
Thankfully I have a lot of help especially on the days when I really just need to lay down and relax. I've been able to get some reading in, which has been the absolute best. I'm just happy that I can I focus a little to get lost in books 😊
▪
Hope everyone's having a great weekend ♡
▪
I took part in Kim's Galentine exchange ( @ kimberlyfayereads) and here's what I got from @erinsdimple! I demolished my new favorite candy of chewy sour nerds. I've been craving the chewy runts that are no longer being made. So this is the best alternative. And some Nalini Singh books and a ☕ mug that's rather dazzling. Love it all, thank you!

Soooo, this may be my last post for some time. I'm being realistic for February since I'll have my hands full with baby 2 and little one. With kids, routines are a must and this will be a huge transition for everyone. For now, I'm just going to take it one day at a time. I'll still pop in my stories and people's DMs, that's where I'm at the most, anyways.

I had all the intention of taking photos in advance, but I'm at that point where everything's becoming a bit too much. I'm just very uncomfortable and so very tired. We're almost there though!

Got this lovely bookmark from @theseasonalpages, wish I could be in the mountains and soaking up all that beautiful nature!

I've been reading a lot of fantasy and paranormal romance. It's been a bit of a mixed bag of whether I liked they ones I've read. And with next month being another with more of the same genre, hopefully I'll have some favorites. Honestly, let's see if I'll be getting any reading done.

I just finished a rather enjoyable YA fantasy series and I need some steammmmmmmmmmm. This book seems to fit the bill, have you read it?!

Also, in my stories I'm looking for book recommendations for hyped fantasy romance books/series.
