Well, considering I only decided to do this...4 hours ago, I don't think my first day went too badly? 😅 I read more that the minimum and recorded my thoughts. Though I didn't drink *water*, I was drinking a beverage. This is a book I borrowed from work, so that's a fail...though I'm borrowing it INSTEAD of buying it, so at least I'm trying to avoid increasing my number of owned, unread books?

I believe I've successfully read 2 romance novels in my life - one older-style mass market from 2000-ish and a recent lesbian romance with that cartoon-y silhouette style cover. So we'll see if I end up finishing this one. The fact that it's supernatural is a bonus.

Well, it got spicy sooner than I expected. Or, it at least mentioned aspects of spicy sooner than I expected. I'm not cringing too much as I read, though some of the names are pretty cringe-y. Reading feels successful, since I could have kept reading, but instead need to go to bed. (And then spent another hour fiddling with journal styles, etc. before finally posting this entry. Oops.
