About halfway through When the Moon Hatched. I love Raeve so far, and she’s an excellent antidote to Diem’s (Everflame) indecision and hand wringing. 🔪💪

Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros
The color illustrations are so good, and I adore that the dragon icon at the bottom of the page changes for each rider/dragon. The backstories add great color for each character and clues for the series. Someone started chopping onions during Garrick’s chapter

💙📚

Vivacity by Elodie Hart
A crash course in enneagram and therapy, with 🌶️🌶️. And wordle/connections banter!! 🟩🟨

💙📚🌶️

Unfurl by Elodie Hart
The concept of the unfurl program is interesting. The MC’s nuanced take on her father’s strict Catholicism draws healthy boundaries between understanding his POV and not taking any (more) shit. Better than Benedict deserves, tbh 🙄😡 Maddy is the BEST

💙📚🌶️

Duplicity by Elodie Hart
The single parent trope isn’t my first choice but the author really pulled it off here. The spice is spicing. Excellent cultural references.

💙📚🌶️

I went down an Elodie Hart rabbit hole while waiting semi-patiently (best we can hope for, really) for Threshing Day to arrive. 💙📚🌶️

📚💙📚🌶️ Rewriting our story
The IG ads got to me! 😫 I inhaled this ebook, mostly fun, enjoyed the 🌶️. Took a hit for excessive use of the FMC’s nickname. This scene played in my head all day. 🤣

I’m still waiting for my physical copy of Prey for Me (Allie Oleander) so I listened to the audiobook for now.

First thought: I am CONCERNED about Caine’s solution. Can Aly from Lights Out put in a good word and help them out here?

Holding strong with two days to go! Rereading Crucible (BB Reid) (hoo the hopscotch bw dub-con and non-con! 🌶️) and making progress on Uprooted (Naomi Novik) #booksky 📚📚

Currently rereading ebooks until Prey for me (Allie oleander) releases on Tues. Also accepting bets on how long it takes me to crack and impulse-buy a new book as my TBR shrieks at me.

The Spellshop — 4/5 ⭐️. My first foray into cozy fantasy and resetting my nervous system. Loved Kiela’s dismay at choosing a career that somehow involves people.

Burn of the Everflame — 1/5 ⭐️. Starting this account off on a rough one. Loved the first 3 books (I can work with a slow burn for top tier book boyfriend Luther), but this is not a worthy successor.

👋 hi, I'm crazy about books (mostly romantasy, occasionally I wander off into other genres and come back changed). Here for ARC screaming, unhinged reviews, and dark prince discourse. Be warned: I annotate my books (not yours!), reformed pristine-spine purist
