Happy weekend!! I’m glad you’re feeling better even if you’re not 100% recovered lovely! Hopefully you get a restful weekend to help your poor nose 🤧 How you keep track of so many books baffles me, so impressive! Ahhhh I’m so chuffed that you’re gunna pick up the girl who bit me! No pressure on my rec though 😳😬 I’m definitely gunna have to give Carmilla another go, maybe when I have some time off work so I don’t fall asleep to it again. I only really watch celebrity BB I have to admit. I feel like I don’t have the time to invest in normal BB but I have been catching up with clips on TikTok much like love island. Get some more rest girlie!! To quote a poster from my old job “if you don’t take time to look after your wellness, you will be forced to take time for your sickness” a very intimidating poster for a loo I used to think but at least it was memorable 😂

Aww still? Ugh this week has been bad for me too, its been SO HOT and the last two days smoke from the fires in Canada have blanketed the entire Chicagoland area and my eyes and chest hurts today. 😫 And work has been so busy in havent even had time to start a new audiobook. BUT your audios this week, and especially the ones last night were SO GOOD! 🥰🤗🔥🌹 my darling Dungarees I always look forward to your new audios. I love you so much! Take care and rest up this weekend! 🐧💗💐💐💐

Yess, the purrs are safe! (had me concerned for a moment there xdd) Really happy to hear you’re feeling better. Wishing you that recovery continuess 🧡 'Every time I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness' pops up in the 'Book Club' backlog, I think of the 3rd Fourth Wing book that's turned into a full-on shelf warmer xdd I made it through book two, but my brain refuses to pick up the third. Honestly, it sounded like you had fun with Carmilla — yay! ✨ Look at you, hooked on BB28! Nicee! Hope you have a lovely weekend 🧡
