Under The Oak Tree Vol. 2 by Suzi Kim Fantasy | Spicy | Romance | Magic | Adventure | Growth & character arcs/depth to root for and obsess over Amazon | B&N | Thriftbooks | Goodreads   *Book 2, there is also a comic & manwha for the series* Synopsis:    Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after—but this is no fairytale. The updated and official translation of  Under the Oak Tree , the #1 webnovel on MANTA, continues in this second volume. As her first winter in Anatol turns to spring, Lady Maximilian finds herself confronting an unfamiliar hope. Her voice and her magic strengthen every day; the only parts of Calypse Castle left to refurbish are its gardens, which she plans to fill with blooming flowers; and the way her husband, the recalcitrant war hero Sir Riftan, looks at her from across their bedroom makes her feel, for the first time in her life, that she might be worthy of love and affection.  However, Maxi's life ...

 Happy New Year lovelies!!

So this weekend I'm trying to finish my reading goal for this year! I'm at 42 books out of 50, so just 8 more books to read!! There's no end to my 'TBR Mountain' so it's not hard to grab a book to read, but my mood reading is striking so my list to try and get through this week...
