Ooh Erin, I’m loving your book content❤ Also It’s so funny because I’m a wedding makeup artist and I listen to audiobooks while going to the weddings too 😂 I loooved the travelling cat chronicals and I think you’ll really like it too 😊 have a nice day ❤

I love that Maria! It’s so good to have that audiobook company on your way to a wedding! Sometimes I end up transporting the bridal party and I’m always trying to switch it to music before it autoconnects in case something spicy is happening in the book 😂

If you do read The Traveling Cat Chronicles, keep a box of tissues by your side. The last 40 pages I could not stop crying. Love the spreads for your reading journal!

Oof, Silver Flames to me felt very, very different from the other ACOTAR books. I still liked it, but I absolutely adored the original trilogy and silver flames felt less magical, if that makes sense? 😅 But now that you're done with it, I really recommend you read Crescent City!!!
@ErinSmith Жыл бұрын
It definitely had a different vibe! It took me aaaages to read it, like two weeks, but in the second half I really got into the Nesta/Gwyn/Emerie friendship dynamic. I was much more invested in that than the romance! 😂

It looks so good. I really need to try audiobooks at a faster speed, maybe I would listen more if I didn't end up feeling that people talk to slowly.

I HAVE to listen at least on a 1.5 first time around and if it’s a reread, then at least a 2.5 lol. I’m currently doing the 3.25 for a third time reading a series so I can get To the new one that just came out in the series (the from blood and ash series)

I love the star rating stamp. I use a single star to stamp the rating. But it always looks messy. 🙈 Really like the monthly set up for your reading journal. Would love to know how using a monthly set up works out for you in the end. :)

The fact the London gifties stickers were the ones u used for ur planner journal setup and the theme looked great but here it looks completely different but amazing as well 🤩. its so cool to see how we can use the same thing but in a different way its just so satisfying and now ur reading journal can match ur planner journal setup for august while still being different and pretty. Also I'm a really big fan of books but I don't read because where I live books are heck expensive and I thought if I read e - books my eyes would fry off cuz I wear glasses which are -3 lol, but my older brother said that, that is just nonsense and its better than watching KZfaq for 3 hours a day . But the other problem was that I didn't know which books are good and fit my style and I didn't know any websites to read them and I didn't ask my friends because they read weird books and that is also why I don't borrow books because I don't have anyone to borrow them from. So thank you soooo much for the book suggestions and the website recommendation ur style really matches mine and I'm so glad that it does and now I can finally read thanks to you, LOVE U ERIN😘😘!! also I'm the biggest fangirl of Mitsu and I have a cat of my own so tell Mitsu I said hi🤗🤗🖐🏻.

Aww thanks Muskan! It’s a slightly different sticker to the bullet journal, but still has a bit of a window theme going! Do you have a library near you? It’s such a good way to work out what you like since it’s totally free. Lots of libraries also work with an app called Libby where you can borrow e books or audiobooks for free! I’ll tell Mitsu your kitty said hi - what’s your kitty’s name?

Last Night (or Just Last Night in the US) is amazing but involves a fair bit of grief so it can be quite heavy! For something a bit less heavy, If I Never Met You is a great one - fake dating, one of my fav tropes!

I started reading Malibu Rising but I think I just wasn't in the mood haha - I should definitely give her work a go, I know she's beloved! As for Aussie planner things, I currently have a few to start with - the Pencil Case Place subscription boxes, a Quirky Cup Collective Haul and a review of my SassyPigeonHQ notebook! Hopefully more coming soon, the Aussie stores don't do a lot of collabs so I can only do so much research without going broke 😅
