I liked Incidents and Fractured. Catalina is tedious for only being 200 pages. 😭 I was expecting a lot more...anything!

Right now I have plans for, other than Fairy Tale, 2 King and 3 Bradbury in September; 2 King and 3 Bradbury in October. Yes, ambitious.😊

Hoping to finish both The Sinister Booksellers of Bath NetGalley ARC Mount TBR Urban Fantasy Sequel, and The Footage: A chilling psychological thriller KU Cabin Horror; however, Georgia Tech Football in Dublin at noon and 2 WNBA games this evening, so that interrupts Reading Time 🙄😣. We shall see. Good luck, Readers!

Probably the same for me too. I spent three hours watching the Lions game. I think I've only made it 24 hours once (since joining the book blogging community in 2009).
