Oof, my reading has beenā¦. Slow the last two months. My brain is just all over the placešµāš«.
This time of year is hard, for a lot of people, and for me personally. Thereās a lot of residual trauma that my body remembers and feels this time of year. Itās fucking frustrating honestly š¤š¤£.
Iāve been feeling really drained and burnt out, but really not for any particular reason. Some of it is- I donāt think Iāve left much time for self-care lately/set good boundaries with myself. I absolutely am in love with our new puppy Harvey, but I always get a little bit of new puppy sads and overwhelm. I think thatās common though, whether you have a new baby animal, or a new baby human, even if itās everything you wanted and you wouldnāt change it for the world, itās still a big change! Stepping into that role, where something needs you constantly and you canāt really turn off? Itās one of the most beautiful gifts, but itāsā¦. overwhelming.šµāš«
BUT I am reading two AMAZING spicy sci-fi romances right now:
- Strange Love by Ann Aguirre
- Lunar Luxury by Crystal Rose
Iām not very far in Strange Love, but omg it is so adorable and fun so far, I think itās gonna end up being a top favorite of mine! I am loving the accidental abduction trope! I want more like that!
Lunar Luxury I am LOVING, and I knew I would, as I just loooveeeddddd the first one. This is book two (the first being Lunar Paradise) and Crystal writes some of my favorite real and emotionally vulnerable characters. This is a redemption story from a character in book 1, and Omggggg Iām a sucker for a redemption. The MMC is on the run, and his back story I relate to on a personal level. When I read Crystalās books, I always feel like she sees right into my soul. They are such validating and cathartic reads, but also have so much sweet, romantic, and humorous elements. Justā¦..LOVE.
Here are some of my highlights from Lunar Luxury so far:
āHaving that highly coveted big O moment with a partner had always eluded me. Iāve gotten close a few times, but then I would think about how it was taking too long and how I have other things I should be doing and that build up of pleasure just disappeared.ā- Maggie (As a woman on the ace spectrum, also with a lot of chronic health issues/menopause at 32? This was incredibly relatableš®āšØ. But I think a lot of people can relate to this.)
āI was sick of the violence, and I was proud of myself for taking a stand... integrity may not pay the bills, but Iād rather have that than participate in his senseless violence.ā- Norvan (I love him already)
āTo see my peer, who ran his own security business, desperately trying to pull on a pair of pants as fast as his body would allow him wasā¦amusing.ā- Norvan (Omg this was a funny imageš¤£)
āThe mere mention of [him] had set me on edge and sent me floundering to separate myself from his misdeeds.ā- Norvan (same bro, same)
As I work my way through these 2, Iāll probably post some more random reading thoughts/highlights. šš»
