HAPPY EASTER :D It has taken me so long, but I have finally started reading a book again, ha :D Yay! Started my re-read of Furyborn. <3 Haven't read too much yet, but reading a little a day and I'm proud of that. I'm also loving it, as always. I just have such trouble wanting to read. Sigh. It's a struggle and I'm not done with it. Rude. But anyway. I have had more outdoor spa baths this week, and I am so happy about it. <3 So glad to finally have it back up again. It just sucks that my health is currently the actual worst and trying to kill me. So my energy is zero and I'm trying my best to just get through the days. It is hard. But I'm doing my best and just want to stop being in pain, damn it. Anyway. No books this week, as we only got one day of mail because of Easter. But I did get some new pop figures, so yay for that :D This week I'm waiting on Spells for Forgetting. <3 Hope you are all doing well and staying safe :) I am so tired, ack.

Pop Figures. New Rapunzel. <3 And Olaf as disney characters :D Love! But amazon lost my Genie. Ugh.

SPELLS FOR FORGETTING BY ADRIENNE YOUNG

Goodreads Description:

A rural island community steeped in the mystical superstitions of its founders and haunted by an unsolved murder is upended by the return of the suspected killer in this deeply atmospheric novel.

Emery Blackwood’s life was forever changed on the eve of her high school graduation, when the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of murdering her best friend, Lily. Now, she is doing what her teenage self swore she never would: living a quiet existence among the community that fractured her world in two. She’d once longed to run away with August, eager to escape the misty, remote shores of Saiorse Island and chase new dreams; now, she maintains her late mother’s tea shop and cares for her ailing father. But just as the island, rooted in folklore and tradition, begins to show signs of strange happenings, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past that no one wants to remember.

August Salt knows he is not welcome on Saiorse, not after the night that changed everything. As a fire raged on at the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, shaking the bedrock of their tight-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother’s ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from the past that has never healed—Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises that span generations threatens to reveal the truth behind Lily’s death once and for all.

Evocative and compelling, Spells for Forgetting is a vivid exploration of lost love and the unraveling of a small town and its many secrets.

Another week gone by. And it has been such a crazy week. Gosh. I sadly still haven't read anything. I'm the worst. Hoping to get to it soon. Sigh. I had my hospital visit on Monday, first in months. Did not get any of the help that I wanted. So I am not pleased. And it made a bump of mine get much, much worse, so this week have been pretty bad for me. A lot of pain. Still a lot of pain. I'm dealing with it. Somewhat. Plus side, I got my spa bath up for this year, at last :D EEE! I had my first bath today. <3 It was glorious. But it knocked me out. Been nauseous and tired all day. Rude. But it was so so good. Sigh. So thrilled to finally have it up :) This week I'm waiting on Prince of Song & Sea. <3 Hope that you are all doing well :)

PRINCE OF SONG & SEA BY LINSEY MILLER

Goodreads Description:

For fans of Twisted Tales and Villains is a brand new YA series that retells the classic Disney stories you thought you knew from the Disney Princes' perspectives.

Before Prince Eric’s mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse? If he were to kiss someone other than his true love, he would die. With a neighboring kingdom looking for any excuse to invade their shores, and rumors of ghost pirates lurking the seas, Eric is desperate for any information that may help him break his enchantment and bring stability to Vellona. The answers he has been searching for come to him in the form of a letter left from his mother that reveals Eric must find his true love, the one with a voice pure of heart,or kill the sea witch responsible for cursing him in the first place.

Now Eric is on a quest to find the Isle of Serein, the witch's legendary home. But after he is rescued by a mysterious young woman with a mesmerizing singing voice, Eric’s heart becomes torn. Does he enter a battle he is almost certain he cannot win or chase a love that might not even exist? And when a shipwrecked young woman with flaming red hair and a smile that could calm the seven seas enters his life, Eric may discover that true love isn’t something that can be decided by magic.

Time is suddenly moving so fast and I am getting nothing done. Oops. It's like.. I wake up each day. And just wait the entire day to be able to go back to bed again, haha.
