Hope you both enjoy!!! Rebecca Yarros knows how to pull out the tears but she always rewards you in the end!

And the Gansetts... perfect comfort read for everytime :-)


message 182: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 5085 comments I'm also going to go with Sweatpants Season by Danielle Allen from Stacie's shelf.


Mostly because it's on KU and not part of a series (yet). And tagged humor so hopefully not too tense and angsty. Can't handle that right now!


message 183: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) It wasn't super tense or angsty I don't think. The banter was good and there's some women's empowerment stuff from what I remember. I don't like a lot of tension and angst usually so I think you're okay!

LaurLa | 5085 comments OH! sorry I missed the new task coming out. So S is our letter? T would have been easier but that's on me for being MIA for a day.

Hmm. Dangit, I actually have to dig a little for S. Imagine that - having to search for an S.

Might be Saturday at this rate for me.
