Okay, short break from our scheduled programming because I just came across the UK cover for The Bewitching and I have thoughts. I haven't read the book *yet*, but I would've NEVER picked it up if I came across the UK version! It's not really giving witchy! or supernatural! Maybe a *bit* gothic?

It's been a while since I played a little round of "this or that" with book covers, but I saw the US cover of A Witch's Guide to Magical Inkeeping and saw how different it was from the UK one, so I had to do it! Which one is your favorite?

June wrap-up! June was this year's best reading month so far. Both in terms of how much I read (two of the books were over 1,000 pages!) *and* in terms of overall rating! Near the end of the month, I struggled a bit pinning down my mood, so I had a few false starts before landing on my next read.

Finally, a second (and third!) mark off my bingo card 🤭 And all thanks to one book! I read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder in two days! I get the hype, this was a lot of fun

Thus far, I have only read one book that fits the criteria for 2025. "My Beautiful Man" by Nagira Yuu, which I personally loved! This is the book that inspired the drama & manga with the same name.

I've decided to make a book bingo for 2025 based on the most common words in my TBR LOL. Let's see how this goes... The rules are simple: re-reads don't count, but I will count books retroactively (i.e., if I read them in January of 2025, it counts).

Okay, YEARS ago I read Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and today I came across this new cover... And I am *baffled*. The original cover fit the vibes perfectly - gothic & creepy like something is crawling under the surface... This new cover is giving witchy contemporary romance. It is not.

Just saw that The Heartbreak Chronicles by Ali Novak have new, revamped covers AND that it seems like book three is finally going to be released this year! I've read and really enjoyed this series in 2018, it's a super cute series of YA boy group love stories!
