Under A Whiskey Moon

And then you almost pee your pants laughing because Coyote Ugly came out in 2000 and this bitch had been acting like Lil for the past 13 years* before we even met and from what you’ve heard 3rd hand fro old coworkers is she still hasn’t changed.

I’m dead.

…… how?!?!

I have so many other things that I could spend that level of concentration on, like sewing all the things for my small business I’m trying to get off the ground, yet I spent from 10:48pm to 2:47am reading a 476 page romance novel about a billionaire who married a childhood friend because Grandpa CEO put a marriage clause in the succession contract. I’ve read like 6 of these plots, it was okay but not mind blowing… gobbled that right up for four fucking hours.

When I heard of the impending Hurricane Hilary barreling down on us poor little desert dwelling Los Angelinos I was actually quite excited. I cleaned house, I pulled out all the comfy blankets, and I even gathered my favorite fall candles.

I had a plan.

It was going to rain and storm and be mass chaos outside and I was going to cocoon in my blankets, surrounded by the scent of fall leaves while I sip on my hot coffee in my new booknerd mug, and lose myself in a book. Or three. It was going to be awesome.

And it was. I had gathered my supplies, started the kettle for hot water AND THERE WAS A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE.

WHY IS THERE AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE????

And you know what the worst thing is? The entire time I was gathering "hurricane supplies" I kept having that worst case scenario thought that there's going to be an earthquake. My husband is out of town, my anxiety is on high, there's a once in a lifetime natural disaster that he's supposed to land at LAX in the middle of so I course my brain went to "let's add and earthquake to that while I loot my earthquake supply pile to make a hurricane supply pile.

SPOILERS FOR ACOWAR AND CRESCENT CITY 2

This is from A Court of Wings and Ruin, an exchange between Azriel and Elain before the big bad battle.

But without context and a little imagination this could also be between Ruhn Danaan and Lidia Cervos. Light and dark, a bridge, and the sword that might be the partner to the other.

Quote from A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas, from Feyre's point of view.

I’m a voracious reader on a good day. I recently went through some trauma and spent 4 months curled up with books, blasting through them day after day, sometimes going through two books a day, not speaking to anyone except when I had to.

Feather, from Rising Feather (The Forgotten Angel Book 3) by Merri Bright

Y’all.

This series has been an absolute treat. Yes, it’s a reverse harem rom com but I found myself on more than one occasion getting all verklempt. Read it! I promise you’ll love it.
