Book Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother's love--and she's on the hook for one hell of a debt. Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele's dutiful servant up until a year ago. That was when Vanja's otherworldly mothers demanded a terrible price for their care, and Vanja decided to steal her future back... by stealing Gisele's life for herself.

The real Gisele is left a penniless nobody while Vanja uses an enchanted string of pearls to take her place. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed.

Vanja has just two weeks to figure out how to break her curse and make her getaway. And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on Vanja's tail, she'll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life.

Since I prep all my blog posts on Monday while the kids are at school, I also binge watch all my favorite shows while I work around the house. Today I caught up on Paranormal Caught on Camera, Tales from the Explorers Club, She-Hulk, Monarch, The Resident and The Rookie: Feds. Yes, its a lot, but its also a long day.

Now, I'm finishing off season 3 of the Umbrella Academy since my husband doesn't seem to interested in it at the moment and I'm tired of waiting for him. Shush, don't tell.

Found a really cool idea from North Elm Design on Etsy who has some really cool lighting fixtures that are rustic and old fashioned. Since I already had a custom light for my kitchen my husband made for me, I decided to hang some cool fairy Edison lights from it. The picture to the left is my actual kitchen light.
