📚 “Do you think I don’t know what kind of men this world has wrought? Every woman knows, and those men existed before the world fell apart.”

👍An interesting Little Red Riding Hood retelling with dystopian elements! The pandemic took an interesting turn. I can’t believe this book came out in 2019. If only the author had known 😂😂 I did want a little more at the end but other than that, a surprisingly good read!

📚 “She refused for her story to end with some man choosing her fate.”

👍 Kicking off July with some outdoor reading and a great sequel! I had forgotten how much I loved this world. This book mostly followed the formula of first book with the glamor, heist, spice, slight love triangle, etc. However, we do get character growth, the stakes get upped, and there are some real consequences at the end. I can’t wait for book three!

📚 “Then again, maybe love is always a gift. The only thing that could be bought or sold or bartered for.”

👍 This was mainly a love story featuring a mystery. Many people compare it to TJR’s Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but I don’t think that’s fair. This book was far more focused on the connections between family and found family as we unravel the story of Margaret Ives: a woman with many ghosts. Em Hen kept me guessing the entire time! My only complaint is that the story is more cozy than titillating. Still, makes me want to visit Georgia now🌙🏝️

Dual POV, thriller, con

📚”The world can be divided into two kinds of people: those who wait to have things given to them and those who take what they want.”

👍 A very twisty story! I enjoyed the dual POV as it gave the reader the chance to experience the same story from a different perspective. The story had some great twists. Although the ending was slightly predictable, it was satisfying so I’m not even taking away from the rating for that.

👍This was a decently fun historical fiction audio from Libby. At first, there just seemed to be a lot of dialogue and I couldn’t tell who was who. But then the intrigue started and I really enjoyed the character growth 💜

📚 “It seems to be a hallmark of the human species: abysmal communication skills.”

👍 I caught onto the plot twist really early, but that did not lessen my enjoyment of this book. The way everything came together, it was so heartwarming 🥰
P.S. I’m loving all pretty edges!

👍Some of yall asked about the galaxy book I posted a few weeks back. Well, I actually hand painted my old copies of Fifth Wave! All credit goes to @ as she did such a good job explaining the technique. I had a lot of fun painting this one

📚”You always have a choice…even if it seems impossible to notice in the moment.”

👍 This book was cute and cozy. Overall, I liked the initial world build and magic system. There were a lot of threads and some were resolved easily, some not so much. I don’t really think this needs to be stretched into four books but I guess we’ll see! Off to wait on some library holds 🙃

📚 “Royalty is a permanent condition.”

Multi POV, historical fiction, YA

👍I’m loving my library picks this month. This was such a fun read! It was drama from start to finish and I devoured it. I can’t wait for the conclusion in Nov 😍

📚 “To look at the night sky is to look at parts of what you once were, who you may one day be.”

👍What a freaking ride! Those last 50 pages or so were a ROLLERCOASTER.

👎Barbara!!
But in all seriousness, the ending felt a little abrupt to me BUT I think I just wasn’t ready for the story to end.

📚 ”The media are going to tell whatever story they want to tell. They always have. They always will.”

👍 This is one of those novels that will be a classic in the future, I can already tell. A novel about love, fame, sex, and family. I couldn’t put it down, and it is complex and emotional. I was honestly surprised by the prominent LGBTQ+ rep, but it should really have not surprised me at all. A must read, honestly.

👍 Super exciting and BRUTAL. It’s like if Spartacus had a fantasy baby. The fight scenes were very immersive but be warned, bloody. I enjoyed the world build and the political intrigue. And Leith was a great grumpy book boyfriend 😍

👎 TBH there were some parts where the pacing/ plot points felt off BUT I listened to this mostly on audio so that’s probably my fault for not paying attention?

📚 “Maybe the rumors aren’t true.
Maybe the people have it wrong.
Maybe I no longer give a sh!t.”

👍 Finished this book in under 8hours because I could not put it down. Plus, it’s so pretty! I went in expecting a fun why choose romantasy and ended up thinking this author must live inside my head because how did she pull these men from my dreams? While the world building is fun a few times the sheer scale of things threw me off but only momentarily. For example, hundreds of stories in the air is fine for flying but for buildings in a fantasy setting, its a little far fetched. But other than that, I love it.

Will this book shake you to your core with how spicy it is? ehhh not really but that’s ok. Am I excited for the next book to be released, oh hell yes!

Multi POV, mystery, thriller

👍 This book was so good!!! I cannot believe this is a debut. It was a locked room whodunnit set at an elaborate sweet 16 party. I absolutely loved the pacing and how the author slowly revealed the twists. I truly loved the symmetry at the end as well!! This gave me major The Guest List vibes 😍😍😍 ALSO I read the book as a love letter to the Texas Hill Country bc I grew up where the book was set so it gave me major nostalgia 🥺

📚”You must always mentally chart the trajectory!”

👍 I absolutely loved this cozy mystery and binged it in about 24 hours. I loved that our FMC has gained some friends in this sequel and come into her own. The author even introduced a love triangle which normally I hate, but it works here. This book kept up the hilarious banter and hijinks a la Wisteria Society so bravo 👏 I also enjoyed the commentary on the importance of art and free expression. I simply CANNOT wait for book three after that ending sentence 🙃
