Happy New Years Eve ✨🎆

I hit 53 books this year!! 😳 this was the year that I started reading on NetGalley — I feel so lucky to have gotten some of those early reads (several of which were top reads this year!)
📚💙

I just started reading Empire of the Vampire, which has been on my TBR for months. Already sucked in 🧛🏻🩸😉

💙📚🪐📚🩸

I finally got around to reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries — it’s been on my TBR since it was a GR choice award in 2023. And I loved it! It’s a great cozy romantic fantasy 💙📚🌶️📚🪐

I’m currently reading an ARC for Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni. I’m so excited by the premise and a new world/magic system to dive into 😍 Deathbringer promises to bring the suspense, some enemies-to-lovers tension, and ever-higher stakes 💙📚🌶️📚🪐

Off-topic but I wanna share the quilt that I finished last night because I love it 😍 This will be a Christmas present for my in-laws. It’s made with Charley Harper fabric (I’ve also used a Charley Harper print for the backing and binding) and was machine quilted by Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Just finished A Killing Cold by Kate Alice Marshall! She’s quickly becoming a must-read thriller author. It’s a great traditional thriller — secluded location, lots of moving parts, and some twisty reveals 💙📚⚡️

What’s the longest good book streak you’ve ever had? I had a great one going — 7 in a row four and five star reads… at what point are you doomed to read a mid-at-best book? 💙📚

Just finished reading The Gods Time Forgot by Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez. This book came out earlier this year. A 2-star read for me, but might appeal more to fans of romantic historical fiction! 💙📚🌶️📚🪐

Today I’m reading Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao, a charming fantasy novel that starts in Tokyo and travels through other worlds and places. So far the main characters are so cute!

A spooky season throwback and #BookRecommendation: Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. This book kept me up at night for more than one reason! Eerie, terrifying, and with a satisfying ending — what more could you want from your #Horror? 💙📚🩸

I’m so happy and excited that I got the ARC for Dawn of the North by Demi Winters! I read the first and second books of this series earlier this year. I can’t wait to see what Winters has in store for Silla and Saga 💙📚🌶️📚🪐

Since I’m new to Bluesky, I thought I’d do a little intro post! Here’s five things about me and my five of my favorite books I’ve read this year:
1. My name is Sarah
2. I love all things crafty — knitting, sewing, crochet, you name it
3. That doesn’t mean I’m good at all of them, but I do try

Audition for the Fox released this week! If you like fantasy, myths, and tricksters, I think you’ll like this debut from Martin Cahill.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Fantasy
