January Book Wrap-Up & R.E.P.O.R.T.
Two books down, many more to go!
✨ Finished Reads:
📖 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – This one was the hardest in the series for me to get through. Honestly, maybe I just took too long, but I kinda got bored like halfway through. The magic is still there, but it didn’t quite give me the same excitement as the others. Still, it’s *Harry Potter*, and the writing is solid, so I’m continuing the journey! 3.5 brooms out of 5. 🧹🧹🧹
📖 The Secret, Book and Scone Society – A new cozy mystery obsession unlocked! I absolutely fell in love with this book—the characters, the town, the plot, all of it. If I could move to Miracle Springs, I’d be there *yesterday*. 6 out of 5 scones! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
📚 Currently Reading:
📌 Wearing the Lion (ARC from NetGalley)
📌 Sex Cult Nun (Book club pick)
📌 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
📌 The Whispered Word (Secret, Book and Scone Society #2 )
✨ Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. ✨
📖 Reading: See above!
🍽️ Eating: Sweet potatoes with eggs & avocado (because I got hooked on avocado toast at a local café). Also, obsessed with oranges and bananas with dates lately!
🐶 Playing: Teaching my dog new tricks—he’s now spinning and walking on two legs! (Swipe to see the infamous Judge!)
📚 Obsessing Over: My advanced legal writing class. It’s a *doozy*, but my professor is amazing, so I know I’ll improve.
🍵 Recommending: If you love Earl Grey tea, check out Mike, the Craft Tea Guy, in Philly! His loose-leaf blends are top-tier. (craftteaguy.com)
🌳 Treating Myself: Getting my nails done with BIAB today—excited to see how it strengthens them!
