Texas Trip- Thanksgiving with 3/4th of the Goblins

Was fortunate enough to have celebrated Thanksgiving with my younger sibling in Texas. Our family isn’t really known for having non-confrontational holidays, so I thought it best to remove myself from the situation completely. I spent a total of about 5 days and 6 nights with them in the house. Through those few days I managed to:

-spend time with my younger sibling and her friends

-spend 8 hours at Starbucks sitting and working on schoolwork

-watch a ton of murder documentaries on Netflix

-watch murder movies on Hulu

-went to Barnes and Noble

-My first HEB trip where I got some incredible Pink Moscato and chocolate pecan pie

-had a phenomenal Thanksgiving

-saw a Waterparks concert. Strangely enough, Tyler Posey came out with the opening band and performed with his partner on stage.

-read two books and almost finished a scarf I’m gifting for Christmas.

-cuddle up with three cats, who I absolutely adore.

-got to cuddle up with my younger sibling who I hadn’t seen in about six months.

The Necromancer's Library (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #12) by J.L Bryan

"We all have our little gardens of dead dreams, don't we? And sometimes we still try to water and tend those gardens, long after we should know nothing will ever grow there." In this installment of the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper series, the team is sent to investigate a potential haunting at an antebellum mansion in the middle of the countryside. A pair of sisters currently reside there because the previous owner, a deceased reclusive professor, hired someone to transform his massive collection into some semblance of organization. The oldest sister Cherise is a university student who is cataloguing the entire collection. The issue is, it's a collection of ancient and medieval manuscripts and items. The library and mansion are filled with terribly haunting spirits-both helpful, lost, and frightening. Even when exploring the grounds they come across an eerie family cemetery in the overgrown woods and run into a figure trying to communicate something seriou...

The Hidden Letters by Lorna Cook

"It's people like your brother and me, being handed a weapon and told to kill someone we don't even know, who we'd probably get along with in everyday life. And all because someone in a gilded throne or behind a big desk decides that's what we have to do." On the brink of World War One, a forbidden romance is blooming between debutante Cordelia and the landscape architect Issac. Cordelia finds herself intrigued with learning how to cultivate the garden in preparation for when the men are called away to war. Issac, of course, teaches her in private and their forbidden love story began. Cordelia's parents find out and her mother is absolutely horrified to find her daughter digging in dirt, but reluctantly agree to let her continue her work. Even going as far as coming up with the idea to expand their garden to aid the estate and surrounding areas. Issac continues to teach her through letters when he is on the battlefield, but their correspond...

Finna by Nino Cipri (LitenVerse #1)

" It explores queer relationships and queer feelings, capitalism, and accountability, labor and love, all with a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange." This delightful multiverse sci-fi story is absolutely incredible. This universe there is a knock off Ikea prone to spontaneous wormholes and customers get lost or eaten in. Which is exactly what happens, except it is up to two employees who had just broken up to go inside the wormhole and track down the customer or the closest thing to them. This was such a wonderful read and perfect for finishing in one sitting. I wish there was more in this entire universe, it just seems so much fun, and that the possibilities are endless. I've passed this book to those I love, and I'm so excited for them to get to experience this universe!
