Hello readers!
Guess what? I actually went to the library today with my kids. It’s been a little over a year since we have gone. It was closed during most of 2020, then was open to curbside pick-up only and finally opened up to short visits where you grab what you need and go.
Since my son is on summer vacation, we decided to venture there and borrow books to keep him occupied. There were hardly any people, and way less staff working than before. Some of the lights were off, maybe to discourage lingering – which I understood. But it was kind of sad. The library was one of the places I loved to bring my kids a lot since they had great toddler programs like story time and arts and crafts activities. It was nice to go in and browse, even though it was real quick. My kids both got a few books and I did too!
Here’s what I got:

The Gilded Ones by. Namina Forna
A Vow so Bold and Deadly by. Brigid Kemmerer
This Coven Won’t Break by. Isabel Sterling
Now there were a lot of books I wanted to get!! But I told myself to only pick three so I can make sure to actually finish them. I already finished A Vow so Bold and Deadly! 😱 My review to come.
I love having the library back open. I’m a mom and can’t afford to always be buying books on release day so the library is a lifesaver for me. I used to spend so much money on books, but now I try to spend it on my kids books first. I hope they develop a joy of reading like I do.
Have you read any of these books? Do you like to borrow library books?

Yay for getting to go back to the library. I remember those days when my kids were still little. I have The Gilded Ones sitting on my shelf still unread. I did read A Vow So Bold and Deadly. I’m curious to see your thoughts! I was totally shipping Grey and Harper the whole time, so my little heart was crushed, and I had a hard time coming back from that. LOL!
I finished it last night and seriously…I was hoping for Grey and Harper to get together too! I was mad at Rhen in book two…so I was still not feeling him in this book. But I get that it was this story between two brothers/friends and choices/mistakes and trying to make peace with one another. Family drama basically lol…
I hope you will enjoy these!
Thanks, I hope so too!
