Topic: Petty Reasons You’ve DNF’d a Book
A few years ago I would’ve said I wouldnt have had many but the below reasons spilled out pretty quick!!!! Must be my age!!!!
~ Love triangles (cannot stand them!) ~ My mood ~ Repeating words constantly (I can’t unsee it!) ~ Third act drama that is too drawn out (no thanks!) ~ Flowery writing ~ An annoying character (just ugh) ~ Closed door segsual scenes (I’m flabbergasted!) ~ My fave character dies (hard pass thanks!)

Absolutely ordinary week this week! We’re getting back into the flow of being up early for school/work and I’m tired!
I’ve got a few problems with my back again, called the doctor for an appointment and no appointments for 3 weeks – all I want to do is get referred to my private healthcare provider!!!
Two books read this week, a reread and a monster of a book, 716 pages!

Back to school for my son this week and a normal week at work for me juggling 2 jobs, can’t wait to fully transition back to 1 role!
It’s my Uncle’s birthday today and we’re all going out to a golf club on a lake to have dinner so this is why I’m posting earlier (I’ll be stuffing my face later!!!)
It’s been a mixed reading week! I literally have 3 books on the go because I can’t seem to settle on one and that’s not like me at all!

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters… all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.
But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility–all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town that boasts more dragons than people, and open the shop of their dreams.
What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other… and the world.
Reyna and Kianthe want to own a bookshop together that serves tea…but there’s a problem… Reyna serves a vicious, unforgiving Queen and Kianthe is the realms mage so it’s hard to get away.
But they fight for their dream and they run to a near forgotten place, Tawney. But also in Tawney are….dragons!
I really enjoyed what I’d call a very sweet fantasy mystery! Reyna and Kianthe were so cute together, feeling out their relationship, themselves and their new life hiding in plain site. I also loved the friends they picked up along the way.
The ending sets up for another book and I can’t wait for it!
