That’s right, y’all. I’m gonna give this DNF another go. I was so disappointed that I had to set this one aside when I tried to read it the first time. I just could not get into the story, but I’ve heard that it gets more interesting in the second half of the book. I want to actually make it there this time 😂 Thankfully, I’ve gotten my hands on the audiobook, so I’m hoping that helps to immerse me into the story more.

I’m mad at myself for putting off finishing the Great Library series for so long! What was the reason? Probably because I’m just not ready to let go of Jess and company! I’m sad that this is the last book in this incredible series, but I can’t let that stop me from finally reading the freakin’ book! I’m ready to sink back into this world where the Great Library of Alexandria never burned down and has turned into the most powerful organization on the planet.

I own so many of this author’s books and I haven’t read a single one 😅 So I thought I’d start with the first book that I put onto my TBR. After all, I’m a fan of fairytale retellings and even more so if the lead is Black. Besides, the cover is incredible and it deserves a read, right? I’m excited to finally dive into Bayron’s work and see if all these purchases will be worth it, haha.

This is why I’m on a book buying ban…

I think I have emotionally recovered enough to finally pick up the last book in the Poppy War trilogy. I know R.F. Kuang is going to prove that statement wrong and leave me a wreck, but I need to finish this series! I need to know what happens with Rin! She’s a disaster but I love her and I’m worried. I gotta make sure to read this when I don’t have any other big reading plans right after because I know the book hangover is gonna be intense.

This is a non-fiction following the rise and fall of Theranos, a start-up that claimed it had the next big thing in the medical industry. Except it was all a big lie. I followed this story closely because I work as a medical laboratory technician and Holmes ‘invention’ would have directly affected my job. Now I really want to read this non-fiction to get more into the details of how this all happened.
