๐Ÿฅ‚ Cheers! Itโ€™s the freakinโ€™ weekend ๐Ÿฅ‚โฃ โฃ Happy Friday everyone!โฃ โฃ Hello #bookmail my old friend! Thank you to the tagged publishers for my gifted copies! โฃ โฃ Since the life of a reader usually means we all have ridiculous tbrs, letโ€™s talk about picking up your next read. โฃ โฃ Do you pick your next read based off of mood? Publication date? Genre? Randomly select a name from a tbr jar? โฃ โฃ For me personally, Iโ€™m a mood reader. I do read obligations by publication date, but I very much pick books based off of what Iโ€™m feeling. Itโ€™s the best way for me to avoid slumps.

Sean believes Phantom, an obsessed hacker who previously outwitted the top minds in the field, is behind the attack, and Sean needs this witness's help, as she's the person who has come closest to discovering Phantom's identity.โฃ โฃ Trouble is, she's under the care of U.S. Marshal Taylor Mills, and Sean is reluctant to work with the captivating Marshal who knows his deepest secrets. But Phantom seems to be one step ahead at every turn and will stop at nothing to kill the witness. To stop the hacker, Sean and Taylor must learn to trust each other as danger draws ever closer.โฃ โฃ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜:โฃ โฃ Thunderstorm or Snow storm โฃ Coffee or Tea โฃ Mountains or Beach โฃ Wine/Beer or Cocktails โฃ Sweet or Savory โฃ โฃ My answers: snow storm (thunderstorms scare me ๐Ÿ™ˆ), coffee, mountains, wine, savory
