Before I used to love being on a plane โ๏ธ, but now it just causes me anxiety ๐ฑ Manuverring in small spaces (the always present risk of falling ๐ฑ), hauling around luggage ๐ฑ, and inflexible departure times ๐ฑ, makes flying stressful ๐ฑ But this weekend Iโm going to a city Iโve never been before for some close friendโs wedding ๐ฐ ๐คตโโ๏ธ and old friends will be there too! So Iโm excited, yet worried at the same time (my constant state of being ๐)
From what I remember from my last plane โ๏ธ ride:
Airlines will check all assistive equipment (I believe itโll be FREE but donโt quote me ๐)
Handling may be rough, so things may break
See my post: Anxiety with flying โ๏ธ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ
Try NOT to rush! Give yourself time and peace of mind!
Pandemic precautions:
COVID test after
Packing lists (so I donโt forget anything ๐)
Airport procedure (because I forget ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐)
Ticket ๐ purchasing
Make sure to indicate you require more time to board/need assistance (may reserve seats for you ๐)
ADA regulations for handicap-accessible rooms ๐ฆผ
Airport plane โ๏ธ procedure
Donโt rush (give yourself time โฐ)
Download audiobooks (or any media you want to access) beforehand
Airlines Iโve flown:
Note: This is from MY experience. Intended to share tips ๐ก
Southwest 2021
(+) Customer service ๐๐ฝ The airline reserves my seats ๐
(-) ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Jetblue 2018
(+) Reserved seating, fast ๐จ through security, no limitations on how much assistive equipment I can check in
(-) Broke my seatbelt
Packing tips:
Add a hair towel (hotel towels were thick)
These tips and observations were specific to me! I just hope it helps someone!
Something that always worries me ๐ฑ Going to the bathroom ๐ฝ on a plane โ๏ธ ๐ฑ
It will be tight but if it seems like the plane โ๏ธ is cruising smoothly and whoever is with feels ok ๐๐ผ helping you, you should go yo the bathroom ๐ฝ!
People in general are kind ๐ and want to help. There may be those with a need for more education and sensitivity when interracting with a personwith decreased mobility, but, bear in mind, they might have more to learn (and no one to teach them).
Cohabitation is going to be fun ๐๐ฝ Upon my initial read through the synopsis, sounds fun ๐๐ฝ but not entirely new. Part of the fun in participating in book clubs is the discussion ๐
Chapter 5
Check in at the beginning of Chapter 6 instead ๐ I feel for Olivia ๐ฅฒ She lost her husband and gaurdianship for her son was given to a stranger. The annimosity between Jack and Olivia is believable, intense, and fun ๐ Both Olivia and Jack find each other attractive, so Im just waiting for the moment they get together ๐ Looking forward to more Henry-Jack interactions ๐๐ฝ This seems promising! Love widow romances with a child ๐๐๐
Chapter 10
The reason I love widow romances is that when a bond forms between the interest and the kid ๐ Thatโs fun to read! ๐ Iโm glad Olivia is starting to see it too!
Chapter 14
Understand Oliviaโs opinion about henry getting a dog ๐ถ They are cute ๐ but take work.
First kiss ๐ finally happens ๐ Caregiving scenes with a twist ๐๐ฝ Olivia ๐ more after seeing Jack with Henry.
Like that, me being ahead is no longer true ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Chapter 18
Olivia grows more and more attracted to Jack ๐ Zolivia not in mourning clothes was a sign Olivia was becoming more and more ready ๐ Other stuff happened but this was the most prevalent. Excited for tomorrowโs chapters ๐๐ฝ I think weโll start to get answers to our many questions
Kisses become more common between Jack & Olivia (did I miss it until now?)
Jack with Henry still โฅ๏ธ then we find out how he is with orphans?! โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ Got to admire I enjoy seeing that (and so does Olivia ๐)
Chapter 19 + epilogue
Olivia, Jack, and Henry are their own family โค๏ธ and itโs beginning to feel that way (Olivia sees it! ๐๐ฝ) With her concern with appearrances, sheโs the one to convince ๐ค i feel Oliviaโs approval and consent is important to the story, but Jack drives the story. Sound right?!
Jackโs parentage revealโฆ I still donโt know ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ about it ๐ค Like I didnโt see it coming, and was dark like another whole book can explore that but would I read that? ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
The wedding scene was quick and didnโt feel too important (but I loved loved it ๐)
Epilogue
Epilogue was all Jack and was satisfying, but shouldnโt Olivia be in it too? In that sense, deviated from the norm ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ I dig that usually. I have no qualms so Iโm okay with it.
So Iโve been excited for a while to read more into this series! So Love In The Night is a great reason to proceed! Initially planned to coincide this book for Love In The Night and the Paranormal Romance Readathon but the dates donโt coincide ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ so I made Donโt Hex And Drive for Love In The Night! In typical fassion, putting my TBRs together was too easy ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐คฃ But Iโll adjust and adapt. Story of my lifeโฆ
Chapter 6
Love this ๐๐ฝThis was why I wanted to start my blog! ๐๐ฝ
Fascination ๐ค is a good starting point for any relationship! Through interesting events, Isadora & Devraj are repeatedly at the same place at the same time ๐ Really lets them marinate in their love-hate dynamic!
Chapter 17
In this section, Isadora and Devraj really develop (and get intimate) Didnโt expect the case of the missing girls to progress this much, this quickly ๐ฎ the evolution of Isadora & Devrajโs relationship is my favorite part ๐ When they start to see something new ๐ about each other, thatโs a good ๐๐ฝ sign! I look forward to further development for the couple and in terms of the missing girls. I know I can trust Juliette Cross to do that!
Chapter 28
This is an unincorporated yet expected twist in their relationship dynamic ๐ค Iโll go most recent scenes back ๐ค The โWhat will hapen to usโ conversation is unexpectedly happening with Devraj being proactive and answering questions before itโs asked. That should count for something! Even though that something is one Isadora fears. ๐ฅฒ Sometimes answers to questions are scary ๐ฑ But sometimes, seeing something (or someone ๐) you love slipping away is just what one needs to snap to attention.
End of book ๐
Notw: Depending when I bpog, my memory may be hazy ๐ญ Keep that in mind ๐คฏ ๐
Iโll try to blog more (and better) closer to reading each scene! Isadora learning to drive ๐๐ฝ
The blood trafficking ring was resolved quickly. Read fast ๐๐ฝ and resolved quickly.
2 days after ๐ค Isadora out of it. Catch Isadora up on what happened in a conversation with Tia. ๐ค
Love how there are dual narrators (make-female)! Make it easter to keep track!
More of a scavenger hunt than bingo board, but same ๐ก๐
Friday
2 books ๐ overlap with Bang In The Night! So Iโll time it appropriately ๐ My first book ๐ for this readathon will be Donโt Hex And Drive by Juliette Cross, that should meet Fated mate โ Alpha male โ and Eat her out โ
Not too far into it yet but cute meet cute ๐๐ฝ Wolf Gone Wild teased teased Jules and Ruben (which Iโm all for!) but UNTIL then Iโll settle for a taste ๐ ๐ This may be a way to get there!
My feelings. This quote just hit me.Jules is surprising ๐ฎ
Still calendaring ๐ releases, so it should be out as early as Tuesday ๐ค
Note: Some text, pictures, and videos may not be in my reading blog or book review

Reading not as prioritized today #priorities Trying to keep a healthy balance ๐๐ฝ
Sunday
Had a birthday ๐ฅณ party today, so I read a little Witches Get Stitches. Will read more after.
Monday
Reading with my eyes ๐ takes longer than my ears ๐ ๐ So I just need to note that!
Not sure Iโll finish Witches Get Stitches, but Iโm enjoying it! Donโt think Iโll finish before this endsโฆ Only got as far at 2 check-ins. The thing eith reading with my ๐, they tear up ๐ฅฒ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ if its tired ๐ฅฑ but it does make it hard
Only got 7 chapters inโฆ I hot tired ๐ฅฑ๐ ebooks are definitely slower than audiobooks ๐
