I'm so sick of snow and shoveling. I just want sunshine. Searching for apartments is definitely like falling into a social media black hole! When I was searching for a place last summer, I felt like I spent an eternity shuffling through listings. I'm moving again this summer, but luckily the first place I looked at was a success. It was such a relief. And yes Starry Eyes is soooo good. Have a great week, Sam!

I also borrow ebooks for physical books I have. I know, I have problems. I am a solid fan of the Illuminae series, and I am not a big SFF reader. It has a wide appeal, if you ask me.

There were parts that seems like too much filler to me, but there were some really beautiful moments shared between the characters in this story, and I liked that Waxman gave each family an ending or at least a direction at the end of the book.

I've borrowed audiobooks for physical books I have. If I'm short on time an audiobook makes it easier for me than reading the book. I hope you are enjoying Obsidio. I really need to start that series soon (I am craving something different lol).
