Mingling with Mothman

5⭐️1🌶

I quickly read a short monster romance to get bingo on my summer reading bingo board.

I've been working on this bingo challenge all summer and needed a criptid romance to finish it up. Bingo was hosted by Aeva Vox and since I'm on her street team I felt like I really needed to finish this up. It was fun though and I was surprised I was able to fill in most of it with the ARCs I was reading anyway.

Mingling with Mothman by Eden Crowe was adorable. I love that monster romance has so many cozy cute wholesome romances with great messages. This was was a perfect quick read with cute spice and some really deep messaging mixed in. I highly enjoyed the banter and the FMC, Ava's wit and tenacity. Clay, the MMC was patient, quiet but ingenuitve and extremely caring. It was just a sweet story. It was the third set in this small monster haven of Mistwood. I'm tempted to read the other two. Ava moved away from Mistwood as soon as she was 18. She is human and her father is xenophobic. Even though Mistwood is magical, was created for monsters and has wards to help protect the monsters, Ava's father thinks the monsters should be run out of Mistwood. He frequently runs against Clay who is the mayor of Mistwood and the only known Mothman. Ava has recently come back to Mistwood to try to salvage a relationship with her father. She is not a piece of crap like her father. She is willing to cut ties with him completely if he doesn't start seeing what a prick he is. Ava gets a job at the Mayor's office to run his PR and social media division and coordinate town sponsored events. So its a small town office romance. Clay and Ava get stuck in a snowstorm on the way back from a photo shoot at a tree farm for the Mayor's holiday pictures. They end up having to share a room at a sketchy hotel because only one room was left.... it's predictable but in a good way. I really enjoyed it.

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 30

I didn't have a very eventful crafting week. My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo. I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter. It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off. I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks. My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown. I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good." My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden. We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds. Well, the joke was on me. The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 35

Not much to report this week. I didn't do much crafting. I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out. It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday. I'll share what I made. The theme was Favorite Things. She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons. I chose Dragon Scale Mitts for the handmade item. I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway. My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice. It has more depth in real life. I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop. I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors. Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well. I'm probably going to get some more when I go again. I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...
