🦊 Friends! I can’t believe I forgot to share my quarterly Foxed Box with you! The anticipation of discovering the books that have been picked for me each time seriously feels like Christmas. •
•
🦊 I received 3 books again this quarter, and each was selected for a different preference I had listed (explanations are on the card in the first picture, if you’re able to read it)
-Tʜᴇ Lᴀsᴛ Dᴀʏs ᴏғ Cᴀғᴇ Lᴇɪʟᴀ ʙʏ Bɪᴊᴀɴ
-Tʜᴇ Gᴀʀᴅᴇɴ ᴏғ Bᴜʀɴɪɴɢ Sᴀɴᴅ ʙʏ Aᴅᴅɪsᴏɴ
-Tʜᴇ Sᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴏғ Gʀᴀᴠᴇʟ ʙʏ Wᴀʀɪɴᴇʀ

🦊 Have you read any of these titles? Gravel is the only one I knew of prior to receiving them, but I still haven’t read it. And it’s been high on my TBR for a while, so that was an especially exciting selection. •

🍁Happy Thursday, friends. As glorious as the extended holiday weekend was, I’m riding the struggle bus now that the rest of the week is here. Anyone else? I’ve been stuck on it being “Monday”, so the fact that tomorrow is already Friday is pretty fantastic. •
•
🍁So back to that extended weekend we just had. I forgot to take my iPad with me, which I use as my ereader. That meant I wasn’t able to catch up on some required reading for some personal commitments. However, it did force me to be more present in the real world and I got to some of my physical #backlist titles I had packed. So I guess it evened out. •
•
🍁One of the books I read was ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕓𝕚𝕣𝕕𝕤 𝕓𝕪 ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕒 𝔾𝕠𝕖𝕟𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕟. This was one of my #bookofthemonth picks from back in 2018 (March, to be exact), and because I have a tendency to fly by the seat of my pants, I couldn’t remember the synopsis and didn’t bother to check it out before I started reading. So I had no idea what I was getting into, but I was convinced it was a fantasy story. It was not. •
•
🍁Ultimately, it was a murder mystery focusing on the brother of the victim. He was trying to solve the mystery of who killed his sister, but he was also going through some self-discovery along the way.
•
•
🍁 There were some creative twists and turns thrown into the storyline, but ultimately what stayed with me was the ambiance of the setting, the dark ominous feeling of never knowing who or what was going to be behind the next closed door. •
•
🍁I read it in a day, and it held my interest, but I don’t think it’s a book I’ll be raving about or actively recommending. I’d give it a middle-of-the-road rating. Has anyone else read this book? I’m curious to know how others reacted to it. •

📆 (#partner) Hi, friends! Let’s take a minute to talk about today. At what point did everyone realize it was Tuesday? 5:30 pm? Just me? I mean, I wasn’t even simply catching myself thinking it was Monday today. I was full-blown 100% living a Monday. All. Damn. Day. •
• ☕️ Icing on the cake? After destroying the box of k-cups in my attempt to get them open after my trip to the grocery store, I realized I bought decaf. DECAF! 😩 And then I had an epiphany: I can have a late night coffee and still wake up in time for work. Boom! Crisis averted. (Kind of. I still need to get more regular for the mornings, or someone might die.)
•
•
📚 Despite all the chaos, there is one legitimately exciting thing to come out of the day: I’m actually remembering to make a #newreleasetuesday post! Huzzah!! (This rarely ever happens because remembering is hard.) (Full disclosure: I’m giving all the credit to @hollyslittlebookreviews whose posts reminded me. You’re winning the game today, my friend. 😘)
