My audio and digital reads
Before anyone asks about the no physical books it's because all of my books are officially packed or will be packed tomorrow and I am not going to library until the move is done.
My Audio read currently is Babel by R.F. Kuang. I'm 45% of the way through it currently and am listening to it using Libby. I was drawn to this book from a Tik Tok of the author saying this book was easier for her to write because it dealt with language while Katabasis was hard because she's bad at math. It made me feel seen and immediately I added it to my TBR. Honestly I might make it a physical read next year too so I can annotate it because there are so many parts that I can see leading to new things.
My next Audio books are A Fugitive Green and Voyager by Diana Gabaldon. They are books 2.5 and 3 of the Outlander series respectfully. I'm hopeful I can at least get A Fugitive Green done before Sunday because I have the week off and have a few more boxes to pack.
My current Digital read is The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore I'm 55% of the way done. Kindle says I have an hour and a half left so I'm hoping to get it finished while I have my Nanny kid tonight and tomorrow before he leaves me. I wanted a book that gave seasonal vibes that can go towards my Kindle Unlimited goal. Honestly it's not my favorite but it's fun.
My hopeful digital reads are The Guy Sure Looks Like Plant Food to Me by Santana Knox which is a rom-com inspired by Little Shop of Horrors. Then I plan to read Holiday Ever After by Hannah Grace which looks like a slightly inspired by the nutcracker book by Hannah Grace who I historically love. Both books are on Kindle Unlimited so I recommend checking them out.
Moving Update, we are moving after Thanksgiving break but before Christmas break which gives us a small window to work with. My boyfriend's sister is planning to not stay at school next semester but we still can't tell her about the move even though it would probably keep her at school.

I’ve heard good things about Babel…. But it sounds so complicated 🫠
