#RSFave Book Review | Resting Witch Face by Juliette Cross

Two UK and an illegally printed copy later, we fin Two UK and an illegally printed copy later, we finally have the edition I've been looking for. And it wasn't an arm and a leg. Sadly, I won't have the rest of this series in this height.

Hope you're all doing well and stuffing your eReader with books you won't get to 🤭 because we all know I am 😂
Totally meant to share this yesterday. And I’ll Totally meant to share this yesterday. And I’ll have to figure out the right sizing for my posts, so you can see the whole thing. 

Last year, I tried to keep a review journal if my favorite reads for the year. I finally found an app to use, which is meant to be a digital sketchbook. But I’m using it for other reasons. 

With absolutely loving Witch of Wild Things by @raquelvasquezgilliland_poet , I did a very quick journal entry for my first attempt using the app. Definitely takes some getting used to, but I love it. 

App is called Paper by WeTransfer. I believe it’s only on iOS. 

Anywho, go grab this book, I’m so excited to see more from this lovely world that Raquel created for us 🥰

Thank you to @berkleyromance for the review copy!

August was full of reading and I was elated to have a 5 star! I'm just happy that I had more than one favorite 💗

Reviews are on my storygraph, if you're curious about a book.

I feel like I have more to share, so maybe an update post will happen later this week... Maybe.
Breaking things up a little bit 💗 Thank you @w Breaking things up a little bit 💗

Thank you @weekendreader_ for this post idea. I’ve been curious to see what my stats were for the genre of books I’ve read so far in 2023. 

While it’s mostly romance, I’ve read a few outside of that. I had to group a few sub-genres together, but I’ve been reading more contemporary than I thought. I do know that most have been new to me authors because specific tropes got me. 

I wonder what other things I should track.

This was fun to put together, but the side commentary and laughs during the process was even better. 

He’s not a romance reader, but here we go 🫠😅
