Isn’t the cover for Stain gorgeous?? 😱 A.G. Howard’s books always have the prettiest covers! 💜 I suppose that’s only fitting since the stories inside them are always amazing too—including Stain, which is my current read. It’s a retelling of The Princess and the Pea, but it’s a completely unique spin on the original tale. I’m about 1/3 through so far, and it’s just as beautiful, dark, and deliciously written as I’d hoped it would be.

Scientist-type bookworms assemble!! We have a job to do—Invent a way to read books through osmosis. Imagine being able to put a book under your pillow before bed, and by the time you wake up in the morning, you’ll have finished it. It’s a bookworm’s dream come true!! (Like, literally. 😂) No more teetering, hopelessly tall TBR piles causing feelings of guilt with every new addition. Just one book after another, night after night, and sweet, sweet dreams (or horrifying ones, or mysterious ones, or adventurous ones, depending on the genre 😜). Who’s with me?? 🙋♀️

I finished listening to the audiobook of Red Queen earlier this week, and while I enjoyed it overall...boy, oh boy, did I *love* THAT scene near the end. (Being vague to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t read the book yet, but if you have read it, I’m sure you remember the one I mean. 😏) Absolute perfection in both how it was written and how it was narrated. Actually, the narration might have made it even better than if I had read the scene to myself. I may or may not have burst into maniacal laughter while listening in my car. I’m pretty sure the people in the cars around me must have thought I had lost it. 😅😂 I mean, I *have*, but I happily parted with reality loooooong before reading this book. 😉😂

That was the question that I posed to my hubby. His answer? Without hesitation: “All of them!” Guess which sundae is his? 😉
Sprinkles are the best part, your hubby has it right!
