Lose Time Reading

Midweek check in 📚🎧

Aesthetics are for the birds some days… today it’s just reading while Eloise plays 🤷‍♀️

Listening: I don’t know why lately but I am NOT into audiobooks. My brain feels too busy or something for them. I’ve started running a bit again so when I do I am listening to my old running playlist which feels motivating and nostalgic.

Watching: Again, a whole pile of nothing honestly. I want to watch that Crash documentary on Netflix but getting to it is another thing… I still haven’t watched Virgin River!

Reading: I’m currently reading Map of the Otherlands, and finishing up Dungeon Crawler Carl. I’m chomping at the bit to read Rites of the Starling but I’m holding off. We have a birthday readathon coming up again at the end of the month so I’ve been trying to match books with prompts, and Rites of the Starling might be one of them.

I’m finally getting back to reading again after over a month of not being able to read much. I always feel like I want to read everything after the book sale and leading up to my birthday because of the readathon. And I’m slowly sorting through some books I want to read this summer, which is always fun, even if I don’t read them 😂

How is everyone’s week going? What’s everyone reading?

Another Book Haul….

Yup. More books 😂😂 To be fair, the majority of these were from the book sale from a couple of weekends ago, and I forgot to share.

Yesterday, though, Eloise and I hopped in the car for a little outing to round 3 of the ! You can definitely the sale has been shopped (which is amazing) but I still managed to snag three finds (These Summer Storms, Since You’ve Been Gone and Shopaholics Christmas - somehow I didn’t own that in my collection!).

I’m definitely done book shopping for awhile now, with the exception of a preorder or two.

Good thing I truly am not bothered by a crazy TBR 😂😂

See anything I need to pick up ASAP in here?

Review: Caller Unknown by Gillian McAllister
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Gillian McAllister is now an auto read author for me, she hasn’t failed me yet.

It’s been kind of hard for me to read lately, Eloise doesn’t allow time for me to read anymore - she is super clingy as of late, plus I’ve been extremely busy and my brain has been mush. Caller Unknown was exactly what I needed.

This takes place largely in Texas after Simone goes to visit Lucy after an acting camp. It is extremely fast paced and truly hard to put down.

The ending is definitely shocking and the dual point of view adds to it. I love how it played out.

Some things between Simone and Lucy I just felt so hard now having a daughter and I truly understood how she would do anything for her. What a fitting review for Mother’s Day 😂😂

I highly recommend this one, especially if you have loved Gillian’s books in the past!

Thank you for the arc! Caller Unknown is now out in stores.
