Really nice illustrations and book size to accommodate the story ❣️

Archie follows the story of a sloth that feels and acts different from the rest of his species, but when danger arises, his "differences" are ✨ embraced and encouraged ✨

I liked the start, I liked the ending, but the rest of the book I was just there for the vibes 🤙🏻

Overall, I think Not in Love was a good book to pass the time but I wasn't in love with the audiobook narrators (no pun intended) hence the ✨ vibes ✨ lol

~ Real quick because I've got errands to finish before work tomorrow ~

It wasn't as fleshed out as I would've liked but when I started listening to the audiobook, I immediately was like 😏😜 so I also bought the kindle version lol

An entertaining first meet over a flat tire with a couple of months around Faye and Rush's lives until their one night stand + accidental pregnancy—less accidental and more like let's be one soul right now lol—Rally was a quick and easy read.

Okay, full RTC ❣️

I came here for the romance (and Scotland abroad) but I got the emotional rollercoaster 😱

The ending of The Highland Fling was still satisfying but gurrrrl THE TRIP I HAD TO TAKE TO GET THERE, OMG 😂💀

This is low-key inspiring me to follow in Bonnie's footsteps post graduation but the smell of coffee actually makes me nauseous, so the pub life it is !!! 💞

Errol's mum just wanted to get from A to B as quickly as possible before a storm hit and Errol didn't listen 😅

Though he did manage to make an amusement park underground after he got covered in snow?

A really quick and easy read—really simple.

Someone put a hold on this book yesterday and when I opened it up, there was an adorable unicorn so I obviously hadddd to read it 😜

An easy read with cute illustrations—that unicorn was a vibe—this book would 💯 be a hit for Story Time lol but it defs would be a mini concert 🦄

With so many things Athena + Odysseus + Calypso coming up on my fyp, I feel like I should read the Odyssey sometime soon lol 

But other than that: 
• Odysseus you suck! 🔪
• Why you tryin' to kill off the problems you created ?!?!?!
• Medusa, I love you 💞
• Old Poseidon, you can burn in hell!
• This was actually a well rounded short story ☺️
• Hades pre-Neon Gods is such a cutie patootie!

Uh... I liked Mistborn but I feel like for 500-ish pages, nothing really happened, or at least nothing as "mind blowing" as the world hypes up Brandon Sanderson and his books 🤕

~ And with all the world dump and twists, I'd personally recommended ToG over this ~

What else, what else...

I did find Mistborn interesting but it did drag... but I liked all the characters!

I know I'm in a book slump but this was a toss up between 2 and 3 stars ⭐️

Oh and each and every time I thought the story was going to pick up and make me feel like I couldn't put the book down, the story went high and low so frkn fast I'd be like... "looks like I CAN put the book down..." lol

So this is the first book I've finished by Brandon Sanderson... (out of 2 lol)

There was an important lesson to learn here, yes yes, but I was too busy laughing over the illustrations 😆

Think...
Sausage Party (G Rated) and "Goob" from Meet the Robinson's...
but cuter lol
