    Wuthering Heights is depressing and I’m not into Jane Eyre. I did enjoy Pride & Prejudice, but the Keira Knightly movie is better. I don’t like a lot of classic books.

    Autism is definitely a spectrum, because the way my step son acts with his autism is different than how my youngest acts. Like for example, my youngest will understand a joke better than my step son. He will think something is serious or real, when it’s not. It will be more joking or sarcasm. So I have to correct him and tell him it’s a joke. Then he’ll laugh. I love that Lost and Found book cover by Allegra Hall, it’s very pretty.

    If there are romances with two 18 year olds, then I can be okay with that, but if it’s a 17-18 year old with a much older person, then I find it gross.

    I have read one Rebekah Weatherspoon book called Haven, I ended up giving it 3 stars. I had to look on my Goodreads and it says I read it in 2021. I keep meaning to read Xeni, but it sounds like you had the same issue with that book that I had with Haven. It was supposed to be a romantic suspense novel, but the suspense part was wrapped up too quickly and then the rest of it was a BDSM relationship. By the end of it, I didn’t believe they were in love 🤷🏻‍♀️. I might try Rafe and see if I get the same reaction, because then that will be my deciding factor on whether or not I want to continue to read her books.

    I could see Last Light being similar to the walking dead, without the zombies. I definitely got Daryl Dixon and Beth vibes. I just recently re-read Last Light and I still love that book. Princess did frustrate me, the heroine was a bit immature and I was frustrated with the hero as well. I gave Embers 4 stars, I need to re-read it again to see if I still enjoy it. Hero is one of my favorites of the series, i identified with the heroine a lot. For Citadel I am nearsighted, so if I don’t wear my glasses I can’t see anything 🤓. Think of it as a camera that goes unfocused, that’s my life without glasses. So in the kindled world I would be screwed 😂.

      @AndyGarcia-wv3mb thanks for watching! I really am only using the Electrum Cosmetics palettes I have now and the BBB Basic Witch, and then occasionally one of my BlendBunny palettes or the Cosmic Brushes Winter Wonderland for their mattes. I just haven't been doing as much makeup this year for a variety of reasons so I haven't used anything outside of those this year

    I would say transcendence is similar to the wild man. I did read that Emma Castle book love in the wild that was another Tarzan retelling and it was a 3.5 to me, that one reminded me too much of the Disney retelling.

      @brandyreads the magic elements in the Emma Castle book felt very out of place imo. I am starting to believe Transcendence was an anomaly of Tarzan/Wild Man type books as I have never enjoyed another like it

    Thank you for such a thorough review and the color comparisons. I really don't understand how a palette with such similar shades made it past the drawing board? I really do like the vibe of this palette, but at that price point, I expect each shade to be an individual, not a dupe.

    • @helenreads

      If you are willing to skip the epilogue, it is a great Opal Reyne book. It was very reminiscent of A Soul to Keep imo, in terms of the basic plot and vibe.

    I have been reading the Alliance series by S.J. Tilly These books are ridiculous. They're mafia, over-the-top men. Nero stalks his girl after he hides in her apartment from the police, and leaves random 100 dollar bills everywhere for her to find until he decides Fine He'll Take her. Then in King, the girl witnesses him murder someone so instead of killing her he forces her to marry him (my least favorite). Then Dom tricks King's sister into marrying him so he can join the alliance. When she finds out she throws her ring out the window, so like any insane mafia man he drugs her while she's asleep and tattoos his name across her ring finger 4 times. Then he tattoos her name around his neck lol. And my favorite Hans is a crazy Mercinary who is obsessed with his neighbor, but won't talk to her, but still eats the baked goods she leaves on his doorstep every day even though they're awful. (zucchini and chocolate chip lol) I'm reading this one now.

    I hate it when I’m into a book and all of a sudden the tone changes and it makes the book less enjoyable, I want to say to the author “what are you doing? No, don’t do that!”. It’s almost like the author took a break away from the book, then came back to it how many months later.

      I have the same issue with ebooks too, especially recently. It's hard to remember what all is there I haven't read yet. When/if you do get around to it I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 😅 they are definitely not for everyone, but I personally think they're top tier historical romance
