Introvert. Book dragon. Life is random. So am I.
I stopped into my favorite local bookstore yesterday to add some books to my fall TBR! Aren’t these Rachel Gillig special editions gorgeous?!? 💙📚🪐

This book is beautiful. I don’t know how else to describe it. I was sobbing with heartbreak and joy by the end. It’s just so good. #taylorjenkinsreid #atmospherealovestory 💙📚

For my booklover friends - these books are incredible. Quick reads and almost fable-like, they’re all about the importance of books and reading. They are wonderful, and I loved them so much. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone who loves books (and cats) as much as I do!

Book 14 of 2025: THE FIFTH SEASON by N. K. Jemisin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I decided Black History month would be a good time to finally finish The Broken Earth trilogy, but first I needed a refresher. I’d forgotten how excellent Jemisin’s writing is. I can’t wait to move on to the rest of the books. 💙📚🪐

Book 13 of 2025: THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C. S. Lewis ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Honestly, not my favorite of Lewis’s works but entertaining and worth the read nonetheless.

Book 11 of 2025: BECOMING by Michelle Obama ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been wanting to read this ever since it came out. I loved it. It definitely gave nostalgic vibes - I really miss having competent leaders. 💙📚

Book 10 of 2025: THE STARLESS SEA by Erin Morgenstern ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is probably my fifth time reading this book; it’s one of my absolute faves. Every time I read it something new stands out. I just love the atmosphere of this novel so much.

Book 9 of 2025: Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That’s how it ends?!?!? But seriously, I’ve seen some negative comments about this, but I enjoyed every minute. It was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish, and it’s gonna be a long wait for the next one.

Books 7 and 8 of 2025:
MY BODY IS NOT A PRAYER REQUEST by Amy Kenny ⭐️⭐️⭐️
An important book (and perspective) I think everyone should read, but I didn’t love her writing style.
WALKING WITH GOD by Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A good in-depth overview of the entire Bible.

This book hit the ground running and Did. Not. Slow. Down. Only Sanderson can write a 1200 page book that feels like it’s 400 #stormlightarchive 💙📚🪐

Book 5 of 2025: IRON FLAME by Rebecca Yarros ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reread complete! I honestly think this one was better the second time around. Violet’s choices didn’t annoy me as much. Now I’m ready for ONYX STORM! As soon as I finish RHYTHM OF WAR…

I started RHYTHM OF WAR on Kindle and realized I HATE reading Stormlight in that format. You’d think it’d be easier, but it really bothered me (especially the size of the images). So I had to buy a paperback. Finished Part 2 last night and I am MUCH happier now.

Squeezing in an audio re-read before the release of ONYX STORM on Tuesday! This series took me by surprise as I really didn’t expect it to live up to the hype, but I love it.

Found this post on Facebook about Tanith Lee’s work as inspiration for Sandman. The whole post is good, but TL;DR Gaiman never credited her as inspiration.
I’m adding TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH to my 2025 TBR.

Book 2 of 2025: DAY ZERO by C. Robert Cargill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Apocalyptic Calvin & Hobbes was my first thought when I started this book. Dark, but fast-paced and I couldn’t put it down. An interesting look at robotics and AI.

Book 1 of 2025: A WINTER IN NEW YORK by Josie Silver ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the last on my stack of cozy reads for the holidays. At first I thought the gelato storyline was a little contrived, but I was quickly drawn in and fell in love with the characters.
