Today I *will* start reading The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan. I've had the ebook checked out for about a week and haven't started it yet. I've read two other books in the series and really enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to this one, too. Just, haven't found the time to sit down and read, which sounds weird right now what with everything going on, but it's true.

Otherwise, my source of story comes from my video games I play. I'm re-visiting the season 1 story in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and it's been tons of fun.

The Countess Conspiracy sounds like a lot of fun.

I keep meaning to watch television and then finding that the time has slid away from me before I could focus on it, so I understand not having time to read!

I have a Courtney Milan book on my to-be-read pile. I've heard good things about her, so I hope it will be enjoyable.

I've read two books in The Brothers Sinister series: The Duchess War and The Heiress Effect. I loved them because all the characters are smart and have agency. I did have some quibbles with The Duchess War; there was a moment or two where it felt the heroine knew information the reader didn't, and that confused me. It's still a great book, though!

The Heiress Effect was pure love. The thing I really appreciated about it is that the secondary characters all had stories of their own, which really helped to flesh out the story and add to the setting. And the heroine is a complete delight in this book.

That sounds very promising, thank you!
