It's repeated a million times that Finias is super powerful, so essentially, if he's around, it's a guaranteed win! He and Clara get closer, and she divulges certain fantasies that he is keen to assist with. Meanwhile, Louisa and Lir continue to have all the red flags, and Louisa just continues making terrible decisions like dancing in her underwear around a stranger's house! They hate each other, then want each other, until Lir decides he doesn't hate her at all, and we don't know what to do with this confession......and neither does Louisa.

It's week 2 with the novel A Court of Sugar and Spice by Rebecca F Kenney, and this week we're reading chapters 8-14! This week, the eyerolls continue! Louisa is a straight-up horn dog, while Clara turns out to be freakier than we thought, and the Prince is a bit of a prude! Our intrepid heroines find their way into situations where kissing is the only way to survive.....and that happens a lot....meanwhile, the Sugarplum Fairy has been his normally charming self and shows interest in Clara (which she reciprocates!).

It's our last week with Gild by Raven Kennedy, and we're finishing off with chapters 24 to the end! This week, we meet the pirates who attacked Auren's party, and they are terrible people....definitely not the hot pirates we know and love. The goal is for them to sell Auren and the other saddles off, but they are stopped by the hot commander from the 4th Kingdom. He's a fae warrior, so of course we love him. But before he can take Auren away, the captain wants to try her out, and we learn what truly happens when you cross Auren.

It's our third week with Gild by Raven Kennedy and this week we're reading chapters 14-23. This week, we see the aftermath of Midas' betrayal, and he's just as psychotic as we thought!

It's week 2 with Gild by Raven Kennedy and this week we're reading chapters 9-13. This week, we see Auren get ready for her night with the gross King Fulke. She needs to come to terms with her relationship with Midas and how it's changed in the 10 years they've been together.....back when she was 15 and he was 22 (vomit....). She goes to the ball and is treated like an object, and then we find out Midas' true plan.....and boy is it a doozy!

It's time to dive into a new book! This month we're reading Gild by Raven Kennedy and this week we're reading chapters 1-8. This week we meet our main character, Auren, who has a very particular circumstance - she's completely dusted in gold, and lives in a gilded cage with the man who put her there, King Midas. But here's the twist - she loves him and apparently he loves her too, even though he's married to the Queen and even though he has a ton of servants whose sole responsibility is being available for sex whenever he wants. Yet for some reason, Auren loves him and wants to please him - but this week, Midas goes too far, and promises a night with Auren to a neighboring King to have access to his army. Auren has to rectify the man she loves with this King of ambition, and it sucks for her!

In this thrilling conclusion, we get some spice as Raeve and Kaan finally get close, but then he forces her to make some hard choices. We FINALLY figure out who the Other is....we think.....and we momentarily actually have the hots for Rekk Zharos.............it's a problem......but bonus? We don't hate the ending, and there's no heartbreaking cliffhanger for us!
