The idea is pretty simple, every week you dedicate a post to the three W’s:
What are you currently reading?
What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?
Today’s is my son’s 13th birthday! Which means he is doing his Bar Mitzvah in July 2026 😬 I’m already stressed after the information session we got about the whole process. But my heart is so full today – he’s such an amazing young man and still gives me his cheek to kiss (he’s taller than me 😩) when he tells me goodnight every night. 😭 Time flies…but anyways, how is your week going? 😊

Born in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.
Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life―begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him.
As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.
Content Warning: death, violence
+ I love Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows so when I saw this was a prequel to the series, I was intrigued! Wild Reverence is a story about the gods, and one in particular, Matilda. The storytelling is exceptional, beautiful, and poetic. It’s definitely what I come to expect from this author. She has a magical way of telling a story and I am always entranced by her books.
+ Matilda is such a fascinating character. She’s born to a Skyward father and and Underling mother, but Matilda wasn’t gifted any godlike powers that made her a threat to anyone. She was just there, just a nobody, but her character goes through a lot and being able to cross into realms was one of the most powerful characteristics she had – she just doesn’t know it until later.
+ I really enjoyed learning about this world of Gods. The world building as expected in a Rebecca Ross book is done so well. We even get a glimpse of how Enva and Dacre (the gods at war in Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows), and a hint of how their story begins. I love how we get a real sense of gods being all powerful, and caring about the human world really. And vice-versa with humans, some worshipping them, and some indifferent to them, not wanting to bend their whole lives to worshipping gods.
+ The romance starts off with Matilda and Vincent in their younger years. And the romance really doesn’t take off until later in their adulthood. It’s a sweet romance filled with yearning, longing, devotion, loyalty – a love that spans realms and time. I was rooting so hard for them.
+ Love the epilogue and how it ties into Divine Rivals!
~ I’m not sure why but the beginning of this book did not hook me right away. It was a slow build and I think I was looking for Enva and Dacre and not focusing on Matilda, who didn’t seem significant until her character grows. It took me a few days to really get invested in Matilda’s story but once I did, I could not put the book down.
~ Speaking of Enva and Dacre, I actually did want to see more of them in this prequel. I feel like they remain such a mystery still.
Final Thoughts:
It took me a few days to settle down with this book, the world-building is about Gods we have never heard of (except for Enva and Dacre really) so there was a bit of information and building to do. But when it finally clicked in my head I didn’t want to put down the book. We get to see this different realms, and learn of different Gods, learn about Matilda who seems insignificant at first but becomes one of the main Gods who’s impact is greatly seen in Divine Rivals. I loved Matilda’s journey from nobody to someone to reckon with – all while she stayed good and not power-hungry. All she wanted to do was lead a simple life with Vincent, the mortal man who she had a connection with as a child and now as an adult. I was rooting for their love story across realms and time – it’s heartbreaking and beautiful. Overall, this is a beautifully written prequel to the Letters of Enchantment series.

Top Ten Moments of My Summer 2025
Since summer is coming to an end soon, I figure I should look back on my summer!
My trip to South Korea with my sister! We had so much fun and enjoyed the shopping, the eating, the sight-seeing and our fun tour group. 🫰🏽
2. My hunt for Labubus! I never wanted one, but since I didn’t know what to get my daughter as a souvenir from South Korea I said I’d go to Pop Mart and get her one – but she didn’t really want one either. Well I failed, they were sold out at the Pop Mart I went to and I searched at Haneda Airport when we had a layover in Japan but I was on the wrong side. This obsession to just find one led me to TikTok to learn from Labubu hunters. And I learned good tricks and tips…now I have way too many 😅.
These are my Labubus – yeah that Wings of Fortune is staying pretty in her box! lol…
My daughter’s collection
More of her collection 😅
The Roly Poly Pucky Kitty I got her when I had a hard time getting Labubus. 😅
3. K-Pop Demon Hunters – I saw it on Netflix when it released and said nah, not into watching a kid’s film right now. Then I went on TikTok and I heard one of the songs and said I’m watching it! I asked my kids if they wanted to watch it with me and my son said it looked “cringe”.🙄 I watched it, ALONE, and almost cried at the end. I was like WOW, I love it. I told my son how good it was and he was like ehhh….then two days later, he says, can I watch it? Because he saw something about it on youtube shorts! Oh of course, trust youtube but not your mother’s opinion! LOL…needless to say he loves it and my daughter loves it too. We are obsessed.
4. Sleeping in 😅. The kids loved sleeping in and I did too. Kids had a chill summer going to piano, swim, we hung out at arcades and malls, the pool, just a nice relaxing two months for them.
5. My annual breast MRI scan being unexciting – which is a very good thing! 💃🏻
6. Standing in line at Best Buy with my kids to get the Nintendo Switch 2 on release day! That was a top moment for my kids mostly, but their joy makes my heart happy.
7. Las Vegas trip with my hubby! Our first trip together without the kids, since having kids almost 13 years ago. He hadn’t been to Vegas since the late 1990’s! 👀 I went 3 years ago.We walked some of the strip, but we did use the tram and walked through the connecting hotels. We did not walk at night to see the hotels lit up, we were so tired by night time lol that heat is killer! We ate (food is EXPENSIVE there), we gambled, it was fun!
It was so cool when flying home we flew over our neighborhood!😅
8. Lady Gaga concert, Las Vegas Night 3! The reason for our Vegas trip in the first place and the show was so good. 🥰 Loved that our hotel, Park MGM, was right next to the arena.
I only have full videos of Paparazzi, Shallow, Die with a Smile and Million Reasons because they were the slow songs. It was taking awhile to upload my Paparazzi video so here are just short clips of two songs. I was dancing while all the upbeat songs were playing, so no long video of it.
Abracadabra transitioning into Judas!
Poker Face
9. Not really a top moment but we finally got our house painted – I’m glad it is DONE. But we were kind of trapped in the house while they did it.
10. Had time to hang out with friends this summer, why is it so much harder as an adult to see people? Different schedules and all – but I went to see Alex Warren at the Waikiki Shell with a friend and it had been awhile we went out.

From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes The Executioners Three, a mystery filled with rivalry, romance, best friends, and a gruesome curse that dates back centuries.
Freddie Gellar didn’t mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She’d simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she’d called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying?
Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie’s instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there’s a murderer at large.
Two teen girls must uncover the dark, occult secrets lurking in their Cape Cod town to solve a series of murders—and save themselves from the same fate—in this twisty, witchy thriller.
When Mazzy and her best friend Nora sneak down to the beach one moonlit night to cast a spell, they don’t expect to find a dead body. But as the tide rolls in, it carries the remains of a woman who is missing her hands and teeth.
The girls know they should leave the investigation to the police, but they can’t shake the weird, supernatural connection they feel with the dead woman. Using spellwork and divination, they set out to find answers of their own. But after they uncover a rash of local disappearances stretching back years—and both girls start having occult visions and hearing ghostly, whispering voices—Mazzy worries that she and Nora are in danger.
Then, Nora finds a second body. And a whispering voice is telling her where to find more. With everything spiraling, Mazzy needs to figure out who to trust and how to sever this supernatural connection—or she and Nora might be the next bodies to wash up on the beach.
Two graduate students must set aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul, perhaps at the cost of their own.
Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality—her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world—that is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.
Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands, and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the same conclusion.

Solving her best friend’s murder means infiltrating a secret society, resisting a forbidden love, and running from a vengeful ghost in this sophomore novel by the author of Together We Rot.
Violet Harper knows her best friend was murdered. Even if everyone else has labeled her death a “freak accident,” Vi is sure she’d been trying to tell her something right before she died. Cryptic messages about her friend’s elite boarding school, her whirlwind romance, and the mysterious secret society she was entangled in all point to a more sinister fate.
So, Violet does what no one else seems willing to do: She transfers to the same fancy school to dig into the society’s murky history and find out what really happened to her friend. She knows the truth might not be pretty, but what she doesn’t bargain for is the handsome boy at the center of it all—Calvin Lockwell, the brother of her prime suspect and descendant of the school’s founder. He’s obnoxious and privileged, and Violet can’t deny their haunting attraction. It soon becomes clear his family is hiding a dark secret that may not be of this world, and suddenly Violet’s following her friend’s doomed footsteps down the rabbit hole. Even as details emerge of a deadly curse plaguing the school, she can’t escape her true feelings for Calvin. But loving him may be the last thing she ever does.
Content Warning: violence, murder, death
+ This is a dark academia story with horror and paranormal events. The setting is a gothic academy for wealthy kids, and Violet is enrolled there through scholarship because she wants answers to her best-friend’s death. She thinks she has it figured out and blames Percy Lockwell, the Headmistress’ son, for her death but while she is at the school she finds out there is more to the story.
+ There is a family curse on the Lockwell family, and the remaining siblings Calvin and Sadie are trying to break it and also find their older brother Percy, who disappeared. They create a secret society at school to gather kids who aren’t afraid of the paranormal so that they can solve this mystery about the curse and find their brother. I enjoyed the paranormal and horror aspects of the story a lot! It just added the right amount of creepiness and especially one part gave me chills.
+ The romance between Violet and Calvin is doomed because of the curse but from the start it was dislike mostly on Violet’s part and secret insta-love on Calvin’s though he hid it well. I loved their interactions and was rooting for them!
~ This is an arc but there was a lot of typos that I hope will be fixed by the time of publication. Also I don’t know if it was because the way it was formatted as an e-book but some sections blended into the next and I had to re-read because I was afraid I missed a scene or didn’t understand where I was in the story.
~ This is a quick read, just under 300 pages so I would have like a little more pages focused on the romance to draw out the tension more between them. I did love their romance journey, I just wanted more.
Final Thoughts:
I’ve been reading a lot of dark academia this year but I did love how this one stands out a little bit because of the paranormal and horror elements in the story. I loved the setting, the secret society, the dislike to lovers romance between Violet and Cal, and the family love curse. I had a few issues with typos (but this is an arc) and I did wish it was a tad bit longer just so there was more tension and yearning between Violet and Cal but overall, I enjoyed this one and will make for a thrilling, creepy fall read!
+ My son is going to have his Bar Mitzvah next year so we have to attend “bootcamp” today to get all the information about the process, what he will need to do, what we need to do as parents, etc…
+ My daughter is almost done with swim classes but I’m signing her up for another six weeks, starting in mid-September. I love seeing her go from being scared in the first two classes to really building up her confidence each week!
+ We’re also going to the theater to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters today. Me and the kids have watched it about 5 times on Netflix, my daughter’s school plays the music during recess and lunch recess, and my son has been trying to make his hair like Jinu’s. My husband has walked in on us watching it twice but he always caught the ending – so he bought tickets claiming now he has a chance to see the full thing on screen.
The Summer I Turned Pretty (Amazon Prime Video)– Season 3 – what an episode, what a mess! But I’m there for the drama.
Love Next Door (Netflix) – my son and I watched 3 episodes.
Listened to:
Conan Gray – Wishbone
Soulidified – One and Only
Doja Cat – Jealous Type

No one told me that damnation could be beautiful.
For the last 500 years, the Kingdom of Noctis has been plagued by Corruption, a curse that spreads through dreams. Only an elixir, taken each night before sleep, can ward off the curse. But for some, the allure of the Dream Realm proves too strong.
Esmer Havenfall desperately wants to escape her curse-struck village. But as her family starts to succumb to Corruption, Esmer’s life swiftly unravels into a nightmare – especially when she begins to dream herself.
In Esmer’s dreams, she meets her greatest fear, the Shadow Bringer, who rules from his castle in the Dream Realm, stealing souls one dreamer at a time. As Esmer follows the Shadow Bringer deeper into his kingdom she starts to feel a strange kinship to his sinister magic. But the prince of darkness has a haunted past, one that might change the fate of Esmer’s kingdom – and her heart – forever.
Lush and vividly imagined, Logan Karlie creates an immersive nightmare in this seductive gothic fantasy, infused with shadow-haunted romance and an exhilarating thread of horror.
Content Warning: violence
+ I thought the premise for this story was very interesting – drinking an elixir to keep dreams away, because dreams were bad? I wanted to learn more and I found this world-building very dark and gothic. I also caught the Labyrinth vibes (one of my favorite childhood movies), so I liked that!
+ The narrators did a great job with bringing the main characters to life. All the demon voices were different and well done also.
+ There is a strong theme of family in this story because Esmer loses most of her family she is protective of her youngest brother.
+~ The romance is enemies to lovers and a slow burn but it’s not the main focus of the story. I didn’t feel invested in their romance though, but it might be because I wasn’t connecting to the characters.
~ I don’t know if it’s because it’s an audiobook and that’s already a challenge in holding my attention but the middle of this book was a bit slow. There’s always a demon in every corner asking to be let free and that stood out but it also became repetitive, at least in my listening experience.
~ Would like more world-building.
Final Thoughts:
This one wasn’t for me although I thought the narrators did such a great job with trying to bring this book to life. I liked the dark, gothic fantasy vibes but I had a hard time connecting to the characters.
Title: The Robin on the Oak Throne (The Oak and the Holly Cycle, #2)
Author: K.A. Linde
Narrator: Stephanie Németh-Parker
Format: audiobook (Libby)
Pages: 480 / Audio Reading Time (approx.): 19h
Publication Date: 6/16/25

The only thing worse than fearing a monster is falling for one …
Kierse McKenna just shattered the Monster Treaty. Again.
It wasn’t entirely her fault. The job was supposed to be steal a goblin-made bracelet off of the Queen of the Nymphs in her own palace. Trade the bracelet for a way to uncover the truth about her past. Except everything goes sideways.
And then he shows up to save her.
Graves—the warlock who ensnared her, betrayed her, and left her to fend for herself. He’s a villain. A monster draped in charm and shadows. And gods help her, he always knows exactly what she wants.
But Graves never does anything for free. He has a job for his favorite little thief. One that will pit her against the most powerful monsters in existence, including his mortal enemy, the Oak King.
An ancient artifact has been located, and only together can they hope to steal it. She just has to let him in.
But once she lets a monster in, he’s impossible to forget … and even harder to resist.
Content Warning: violence
+ There is one narrator for this audiobook and she really did a great job doing all the voices – and this is a big cast, so credit to her! I gave the first book The Wren in the Holly, 3 stars. I didn’t love it but I wanted to see if hearing the second book as an audiobook would make me enjoy this series more. I did like listening to it as an audiobook and I enjoy the world building of this urban fantasy world.
+ Kierse is a fun character – I like her personality. With everything going on, I feel like she stayed constantly upbeat. Graves was his usual dangerous self and the two of them have a few spicy scenes together. They have trust issues between them because of what happened in book one but they can’t deny their physical attraction to one another and they act on it a few times.
~ Kierse is trying to find a magical object, but she’s also trying to remember things from her past that have been repressed and for the first half of the story this is what is happening – but it was a slog to get through. The beginning is fine, but the middle was boring. It does pick up again in last 25% of the book, but I just wish things were happening. I felt like they kept coming to dead ends.
~ Not sure where this story is headed but I think I might stop the reading the series.
Final Thoughts:
This series isn’t for me. I thought listening to is as an audiobook would help me enjoy it more and I did enjoy it more than book one and even thought it would be a higher rating, but the middle was slow and boring. If you liked book one, you will definitely like this one but for me, I won’t continue the series.

Do you like to use quotes from books in your book review? If so, do you prefer to keep them at a minimum or do you include as many as you can?
I used to try to include quotes from books in my book reviews but I either got lazy or I didn’t highlight the quotes I liked in the book (because I was lazy😅).
Do you like to make posts with excerpts or extracts from novels?
I would LIKE to be that kind of person who has patience to make posts with excerpts and extracts – but again, I’m too lazy.
Do you think that quotes and excerpts/extracts make readers more or less interested in reading the book? Why or why not?
I love quotes so I feel like it would make readers more interested but I’m not sure how other people feel about it. I think a quote or excerpt can give someone an idea of what the book is about – it can either turn them on to the book or off. In that way, I think they are super helpful.

Content Warning: violence, murder, death
+ This was a really interesting book and one I wasn’t quite expecting. This book is set in the 1990’s and the clues was definitely how Freddie loved the X-Files and NSYNC (she LOATHES The Backstreet Boys and hi, I was a BSB fan, not NSYNC 😅). This story gave me Stranger Things vibes minus the demi-gorgon, it was the time period that was similar and the way the characters talked and acted.
+ Freddie is a fun character. She’s trying to investigate something that has been happening in town but also, she’s a prankster. Her and her best-friend Divya are literally hanging with a group of kids at school who does pranks at their rival school. These kids are in high school, so it’s very young adult.
+ Freddie and Theo’s romance is too cute! I loved it.
+ The murder mystery was interesting and I liked how it built. The ending reveal was full of suspense and thrills.
~ I wasn’t sure what I was reading at first and how I felt about it but I’m glad I pushed through because things get dark. But for all it’s darkness because of the murders I felt like there was enough humor to keep things light.
Final Thoughts:
Here is another book you should pick up for the fall season! It’s dark (but fun) with a murder mystery and it has Stranger Things vibes. I thought it was cool it was set in the 1990’s, Freddie and her friends are fun and pranksters, and the romance is really cute.
