I am really enjoying this romcom #fantasy! It has enough of a plot (besides the #romance) to keep me interested, it’s fun, and spicy.

I can often get annoyed being in the main character’s head, but not with Cinnamon. I’m rooting for her the whole time!

I may be struggling emotionally and luckily I’ve got some solid books I’m sinking into. Also if you want a book that encourages you to feel every bit of your rage, I highly recommend Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll. #bookworm #booksky #libraryhaul 💙📚
Two books overlap on top of a multi-colored, striped comforter. One book mostly black and looks like a playing card called Alice in Borderland 9. The other book mostly yellow and pink cover titled Bright Young Women. In the background there’s a grey, white, mocha colored cat looking out at the wooded yard outside. There are stacks of books in front of the window and a cozy chair.

Apparently 2025 is going to be the year of #rereads for me. I’m giving another listen to The Broken Earth trilogy AND reacquainting myself with Saga before I start the newer volumes.

Here’s a #currentread that immediately plunges you into the action. Darcy Coates is fantastic at building the tension and raising the stakes with every chapter.

Most of the books I completed last month.
There were some wins and I’m not shocked that I was quite bored with ACOTAR.
I was much more smitten with the Ilona Andrews reads and my creepy picks for the month 📚

Listed books are The Trees Grew because I Bled There, The Employees, So Thirsty, Finley Donovan Rolls the Dice, My Vampire Plus One, Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant, Clean Sweep, The Sacrifice, Sweep in Peace, Silver in the Wood, Love and Curse Making, A Court of Rose and Thorns, A House at the Bottom of a Lake, Witch Hat Atelier Vol 6 and 7

I found a book warehouse and had a wonderful time. I was a bit disappointed in the horror selection (I’m always on the lookout for Darcy Coates because their books are hardly ever at my local libraries) but I found some gems.

Lizard (the cat) is excited for a reading and snuggle session!
A big book haul laid out on a floor with a greyish brown cat looking up at the camera. Books included: The Midnight Sun, Into the Drowning Deep, Bloody Rose, Half a Soul, The Dragon of Jin-Sayeng, The Ikessar Falcon, How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive, An Education in Malice, That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon, The City of Dusk, The Oleander Sword, The Jasmine Throne, Fathomfolk, When Ghosts Call Us Home, The Wolf of Oren-Yaro, The Hexologists, and Ancillary Justice.

Some of my favorite books.

I’m so glad I gave I Was A Teenage Slasher a chance because it was a pleasant surprise.

So far there hasn’t been a book by Akwaeke Emezi I’ve read that I haven’t loved.
Four five-star reads for me: I Was A Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones, Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi, In An Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire, and I Keeo My Exoskeletons To Myself by Marisa Crane
