Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Purple Princess of The Purple Booker. 

Here are the rules:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a page
3. Pick out 2 lines that are SPOILER FREE
4. Name the title, author, etc.

This quote had me thinking, wow that's insightful, really powerful...but then yeah, when you know the context, it's a little messier! But remove that and it's powerful! Lol. 

"'Living is complicated and messy. To live is to f*** up and make mistakes--'" p 158

TITLE: So Thirsty
AUTHOR: Rachel Harrison
PUBLISHER: Berkley
GENRE: Paranormal Fiction--yeah, odd ball as there's not much romance, not quite edgy enough to be UF, & no mystery as of yet, so going as generic as possible. Lol.
RELEASE DATE: September 10, 2024

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top 6 Non-Bookish Hobbies

*in no particular order
**this topic made me realize...I really like reading! Lol. It's rare when I am not reading with my massive TBR pile. I'd like to make some sort of dent out of it before I die.

6. PHOTOGRAPHY--still a mere beginner. I like taking pictures of books in fancy setups even if Instagram likes to hide and bury them where no one will ever see them.
5. DIAMOND ART--it took me over a year to do my last poster because it was HUGE! I've already bought myself another one. It's smaller than the last but bigger than the first one I received which was likely 12x12.

4. COLORING--one of the rarer hobbies I partake in but I do like coloring! I bought myself a book last Christmas, but told myself I had to finish my diamond art poster before I could start it. I still haven't started it but the poster is done!
3. BAKING--I don't do it often either, because when I bake, I bake sweets! Basically things that shouldn't be consumed regularly for health reasons but I love finding new sweets to make! *Note this is not my creation! I don't have any pics on hand of what I made, so I found my pumpkin cauldron cake from the Wizarding World years ago!

2. JIGSAW PUZZLES--another activity I don't do as much. I told you, I love reading! Lol. But I do like making jigsaw puzzles when the mood strikes. Also have a few of these piling up to assemble!
1. LEGO SET--I finally caved earlier this year and bought the Book Lovers Lego Idea set that was originally a free gift just before the holidays. It sold out before I could think if I should just buy that $200 Beauty and the Beast Castle, even then I think I might have needed something else to get this set...but $200 sounds right. I ended up paying just under half, so I guess that's better since I would have nowhere to display that castle!
