Q| What is your favourite historical period?

Review in the post because Insta’s caption capacity is too limited :(

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀
London, 1815

If love is war, then London’s marriage mart is a battlefield—and Helena Weston is its most cunning general. As the diamond of the season, Helena has never struggled to collect suitors. But when her father’s fortune collapses, she faces the unthinkable: marriage not as a conquest, but as survival.

Using Sun Tzu’s The Art of War as her courtship playbook, Helena has only two months to secure a husband rich enough to save her family from destitution. She selects three candidates for her scheme, including Edmond Hawke, a handsome newcomer to London with a mysterious past and an insufferable tendency to jeopardize her carefully laid plans.

With her future on the line, Helena must decide what victory truly means—and whether surrendering to love is the most strategic move of all.

~ Happy Place Annotations ~

Part 1 of my annotations for happy place

~~~

Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Read : 2 times

Quotes that I love:

“My best friends taught me a new kind of quiet, the peaceful stillness of knowing one another so well you don’t need to fill the space. And a new kind of loud: noise as a celebration, as the overflow of joy at being alive, here, now.”

~~~~~

My whole review will be on goodreads since there’s a limit on the caption of posts on instagram 😪🥹😭

Baby, I’m back! With another #matchyournailsstack 💙🧸✨ I graduated in early May and this was the nail design I came up with for the occasion 💅🏼

I know I’ve been GONE for most of May and I desperately need to catch up with all of you 🫰🏼 I will hopefully be posting a wrap up for May later this week to give you a reading update!

I missed you, remind me never to go missing again!!!
💋, Nat

Is my inspiration back? I fucking hope so lol 😅 I know this post is so summery but I was working with the colors, okay? I’ve definitely been enjoying spring 🌸 Also, nooo I’m not finally reading Emily Henry. The book just matched my top 🐸

As for an update on my April’s hopefuls!

🌿 What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez — I’ve been making slow progress, so far I’m 57% in but I’m definitely enjoying myself. I feel like it about to really quicken in pace so I might be able to finish it this month. I absolutely love the way the author describes setting 10/10. I’ve always been obsessed with Ancient Egypt and Cleopatra so this is right up my alley.

🌿Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen — I said I was going to take this one slow and I meant it lol. I’m like 50 pages in so far and have no further thoughts

🌿The Scattered Bones by Nicole Scarano — DNF. I couldn’t even get past the first ten pages, okay??? This was April’s bookclub read and only two of ten girls actually finished the book and they hated it.

🌿 Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage — I had a really good time listening to the audiobook for this! It wasn’t my favorite in the series but I gave it 4🌟

🌿I haven’t even started the Queen of Nothing so that might actually just get moved to my May Hopefuls 🐍

Hope you guys have a lovely week! Ly, Nat💋

Good morning, everybody! She's back with another #matchyournailsstack 💝

It’s spring and that means my room turns into a dark cave from now until October so I’m forced to go out and enjoy nature (look away from the synthetic grass pictures above) 🌳🌸

What's the last book that had you absolutely hooked, riveted, inhaling it as fast as possible? OR What are you currently reading?

Did I love all these books? Yes. Do I know why I rated them the way I did? I'm sure past me had a better idea than present me, but I stand by them.

Some facts about these books and my reading experience:
- I still think about Temper regularly. Changed my brain chemisty despite me being like, "What the 💢," from the first page to the last.
- I finished The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch in one sitting - literally just inhaled the book, which rarely happens for me.
- Masters of Death made me so excited for Olivie Blake's other books, even though it wasn't an absolute fave. I did love all the pieces of it, there were just a lot of distractions.
- Outdrawn was the first book I've ever read that had rep for carpel tunnel as a chronic disability - as someone who had to stop playing piano because of the twinges of it beginning, this was a nice surprise.
- I can still hear the narrator of the audiobook for Imogen, Obviously say exactly that. It was such a cute and heartwarming book.
- I had such trouble finding a copy of Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove that I got it right before the holidays started and just couldn't squeeze it in. I do hope to read it soon though because the library book is still on my office floor.

My current read - Sleeping Giants by Rene Denfeld - is @luceisntreal's rec for this year, and it's also giving me "What the 💢" vibes but for very different reasons. If that energy speaks to you, give him a follow!
