Name: I like Flori
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Age Group: Late 30's
Dealbreaker(s): I don't think I really have any hard and fast dealbreakers. I suppose if you post a LOT I might get overwhelmed by that. A lot being multiple times every day.
I Recently Finished Reading: I'm on a rereading kick so I've recently reread Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat and Westmark by Lloyd Alexander (the inspiration for my username, btw)
A Book I Want to Reread: Well funny you should ask… :D My goal for 2025 is to let myself reread to my heart's content so I plan on rereading The Queen's Thief series at some point, finishing my reread of the Westmark Trilogy (currently on Book 2), and possibly also reread The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
