I ended up selling a lot on @pangobooks recently and decided to splurge using all of the app credit I’d earned! I love hunting down the books I want for my shelves and made quite a few purchases with my new book money. I’m even still buying things!

Who are your favorite audiobook narrators? I definitely gravitate towards the same narrators and even seek them out! I’ve tried a lot of new books so i could listen to my favorite people.

These are MOST of the books i’ve read narrated by Karissa vacker, and then Andrew Eiden. Bonus: When in Rome is both 😆

I think this could be a fun series so look out for Part 2 sometime for more of my favs & recommendations!

No thoughts, just aesthetics… The petals were

No thoughts, just aesthetics…

The petals were falling from the flowering trees in our backyard and the birds were singing. It was such a peaceful moment. And of course, a book shared this moment with me. These trees only flower for a few days to a week before the wind knocks all the petals off. This mood was so calming!

Here we are with another @pangobooks haul! Selling

Here we are with another @pangobooks haul! Selling my books and getting lots of Pango Bucks (I don’t think they call them that but that’s what I’m going with) really allowed me to turn around and spend it all on more book 😂

This haul was actually all from one seller too! I had a search going for one and she happened to have so many that I wanted/needed!!

If you’ve read any books in this stack, what’s your favorite?

The Dead Romantics was either going to be a hit or

The Dead Romantics was either going to be a hit or miss book for me. I’m so happy that I enjoyed it! I wasn’t sure how we were going to get a happily ever after if the love interest was a ghost, but I trusted the process and it really did all work out!

This book also had some great supporting family, some quirkiness without being too over the top, book industry connections, and brought out some emotion. I ended up giving it 4 stars!
