OCTOBER READS! “The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris” by Jenny Colgan was almost sweeter than the chocolate! This is a story of second chances, finding your place in this world, and love. I will be honest and say it felt a little slow for me at times, but overall a very good read. I think about

Well my TBR did not go as planned lol but I was able to read one book that I don’t usually read, a historical fiction dated back to the 50’s in the middle of Russian spies but also trying to find her love from the past. I definitely recommend reading The Beach at Summerly. #octoberreads #bookt

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH: This book completely surprised me! The perfect balance of story, heart, and a hint of romance. The FMC is strong, the plot is fresh, and the gargoyle stole the show. Read it for him alone. 🖤✨ ONE DARK WINDOW: Unpopular opinion maybe…mixed feelings on One Dark Window. T
