I also decided not to write a review for The Magic Fish. it's a great book! I just don't have that many things to say about it.
so close to finishing this review, so close, soooo close, sooo....
Maple is listening to thank you next
Those are good songs 👀However, I don't remember listening to either of those on July 5th...
Basically, sometimes I fall asleep listening to a Spotify playlist, and yk know how Spotify has a list of suggestions below the playlist for you to add to the playlist, well when the playlist is playing on my phone, it goes straight to the suggestions and starts playing those songs. So that's probably how they were playing. How were you able to see what I was listening to? It's fine :) I'm just curious.
I guess I'll do a life and reading update...
Life UpdateI'm going back to dance starting next Monday 🥳 I'm going to be doing that for a month for 15 hours a week, which is basically the max that my studio is offering for the summer. I'm not sure what styles we will be doing 👀 I think ballet, modern, and musical theater. So yeah, super excited : )
Reading Update
Currently Reading -
~Six of Crows - I spy with my reader eye...a possible new favorite *gasps*
~The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - So good!!! i think this one might bring on the sniffles
~The Poppy War - Just getting back into this one!
Honestly, all of these books seem like possible new faves, they are all amazingggg!
This is all the books I've started reading but am not 'currently reading' - https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
