![]() ![]() My favorite part about this book was Kenzie and Moira’s relationship. I fly through her books really quickly and I can’t wait to read more of her books in the future. ![]() Katia’s writing style is so easy to get sucked into. She has a way with romances that make you root for the lovers from the first page and I love how her books have some flirty fun while also adding in some more serious topics. This is only my second book by Katia Rose, but I already feel like she’s slowly becoming one of my favorite authors. She makes me feel limitless, even when so much of the world has tried to tell me just how limited I am. She makes me feel like the sun and the sky and the stars all at once. She makes my whole body light up in ways it’s never done for anyone else. TW// fatphobia, depression, addiction, mentions of cheating, mention of abuse, brief mention of homophobia ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() If you see your chart as a map to your best life, an empty house doesn’t mean that you should expect to struggle in the life experiences described by that house.īut that also doesn’t mean that you get a “free pass” and will automatically breeze through a vacant house, either. Not everyone will agree on the exact meaning of an empty house in astrology, but in Evolutionary Astrology, the branch of astrology I prefer, when a house is empty that means you didn’t need planets there in order to achieve what you came here to do in life.

Looking up at last to check her position, she felt a twinge of alarm. Her mind settled down into the familiar rhythm, focused only on her strokes and her breath as the minutes went by. Aiming towards the point at the far end of the bay, she delighted in her steady progress. She dropped her towel and sandals and stepped into the cool water. It was exactly where she’d longed to be, these past weeks. ![]() The turquoise sea beckoned, its border of golden sand strewn with pale scallop shells left behind by the receding tide.

SERIOUSLY?" every time I read that name. ![]() ![]() I almost didn't read the book because I hate the main character's name so much. But I kept hearing about how this one was different and worth it and it did have that whole time travel historical thing and so I decided to bite the bullet and just try it already.Īnd now I have a new Special Shelf book, so that just goes to show that I shouldn't be such a weenie about trying books (I mean, what's the worst thing that will happen? I'll DNF it? Oh the horror!).Īnyway, outside of just saying "If you like the books I like, then give this one a try!" here are a few thoughts on why I liked this book so much:ĭougless. So I was kind of hesitant to pick up A Knight in Shining Armor because, well, 1) that title, and 2) everything screams ROMANCE NOVEL (though, albeit, a tamer romance novel.and it is, much tamer). I definitely want that romance there, but I don't want the point of the story to be the romance with a sex scene every third page. I tend to shy away from a lot of adult romance novels because I like my stories with a lot of plot and characterization and a touch of romance.
