So this week, I did something dumb.
On Tuesday we had Quisadillas & homemade strawberry salsa for dinner - both required chopped jalapeno peppers. So I chopped the peppers, made the salsa early so it was one less thing to do later, & mixed up some of the chopped peppers & onion for the chicken too so I could just add it to the quesadillas when it was time. Washed my hands twice. Then rubbed my eyes (I have allergies & am allergic to quite a bit, plus my eyes just sometimes bothers me). Yeah, my eyes started burning. So yeah, I had to go to the bathroom practically blind, wash my hands AGAIN, then add in eye drops and rinse out my eyes a few times. So yeah, that was fun... Not. 0 ⭐ - do not recommend ๐๐.
Anyways, this past week we have been playing loads of board games & cars games - including Cards Against Humanity family edition, uno, monopoly knockout & more. What is your favorite board game?
Also, we also have another cook out to celebrate the father in law's baday this weekend (yeah this one is like the official party one - but we are just making eggs, bc I'm not making another cake ๐๐). Otherwise I haven't been up to too much. Still in a reading slump unfortunately. ๐ฉ๐ฉ
What I Read This Week:
Title: The Seduction in StarlightI started reading "The Seduction in Starlight" but between my reading slump, & spending time with my daughter & keeping up with the household chores, I haven't finished yet. But I am enjoying it so far.

Forced to choose between loyalty and love...
Avery is a Golden Child with the ability to heal any illness or injury. She lives a sheltered life, dutifully healing hopefuls from around the globe. Although she dreams of freedom, she fears disrupting the status quo—that is, until her powers go on the fritz, threatening her health and her relationship with her government caretakers.
In search of answers, Avery travels through The Rift to the realm of the fae, intimidatingly beautiful beings with powers humans don’t understand. Their prince, Riel, has motivations of his own when he agrees to teach her about her rare magic. But as they work together, the two are drawn to each other.
Just as Avery manages to unlock the full potential of her powers, a betrayal shakes Riel’s House, putting pressure on the already tenuous relationship between humans and the fae. Caught in the middle, Avery and Riel will have to decide what matters most to them: loyalty to their respective nations, or their feelings for one another.
This debut novel from Hannah Levin will appeal to those new to the Romantasy genre as well as seasoned Romantasy fans who enjoy adventure and world-building, such as that in A DEAL WITH THE ELF KING and THE CRUEL PRINCE, and sweet, slow-burn romance like Grace Draven's RADIANCE.

A year ago I lost everything and moved across the country to try and start over. It wasn’t easy, but I found a job I love, I have friends who’ve become my family, and I’m ready to start exploring my bisexuality.
Just when I think things are finally starting to go my way, I show up to work and find out the new guys on the crew are the super-hot couple I hooked up with last weekend.
F*ck. My. Life.
Now I’m stuck spending my days with the men who not only popped my dude cherry, but the ones I can’t stop thinking about.
The ones I have to try and be friends with after they awakened a part of me I didn’t even know was there.
The ones I can never have again.
Until one night turns into two, then more.
Being with Ezra and Wesley feels right, even if everything I was taught tells me it’s wrong. I can’t deny the pull between us, or how safe and seen they make me feel.

Jett, Ezra, and Wesley’s book is a coworkers-to-friends-to-lovers romance featuring a lonely man looking for his place in the world, and the adventurous couple who can’t stay away from him.

He's a quarterback, a single dad, and now he's my roommate…
