My favorite book from the last week would be Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross. It’s fantasy, romance, historical fiction. It’s everything. It’s set in a magical world but nothing too complex, it doesn’t stray too far from reality so you never get the confused Game of Thrones feeling of characters being named Melisandre and Missandei. Just enough magic to feeling charming, reminding me of Fantastic Beasts.
This book explores friendship, loss, war, as well as being a beautifully written love story. I frequently fall in love with the romantic leads of my books but Roman Kitt is so caring and kind hearted that he deserves the praise. This will be a new comfort book.
“It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same as you: I can’t risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there’s also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me, “You will miss so much by being so guarded.”

Again, I am hitting you with some soft songs, however, these are a little bit more indie/folky than last week. I am just really digging my calm walking music right now.

Organizing and streamlining my household cleaning duties. But I also need it to be cute so I made this chart to put on my fridge! I also put a sourdough cheat sheet because the specifics of the recipe escape my goldfish brain everytime
