I wasn't the biggest fan of Trad Wife by Sarah Langan but I rarely am impressed by overhyped books. I was really hoping this would be the exception, it had so much potential. Why is work getting between me and reading😭😭 Life has been chaotic but let's bring back the old instagram! Who would I be without all the stories in my head after all? Good food, bad coffee and meh (so-far) book kinda start to the long weekend. It's a 5-star read streak in November! October reading wrap up is here! The October reading wrap up is looking pretty busy. Not bad for a busy month! A fairytale-esque fantasy fiction perfect for the cozy weather? "Email the author through blurry eyes" tier book!
