5⭐ YOU, ME, & THE CONSPIRACY by Emma Barry
Indiana Jones meets campus romance. Two history profs, a live secret society, rivals to allies, forced proximity that works.
Juggled 4 formats and kept sneaking back. Smart, researched, banter with bite. Fall list it.

thoughts on Pretty Little Liars (read a few years ago, ∼3 stars): gossipy mystery with fun twists but it gets messy + over-dramatic. didn't hate it, just didn't click for me the way the show did. not every book lands and that's okay

November BOTM: DEFY THE DUST (Danielle L. Jensen) & THE BOYFRIEND (Freida McFadden).
Bittersweet unboxing — this is my last monthly sub for now because budget. Hoping to still grab individual boxes when I can.
Team fantasy or team thriller first? #BOTM
