Lightning in Her Hands by Raquel Vazquez Gilliland
4/5 ⭐️

Imagine being the witch of lightning, but never being in control of your powers? If your volatile emotions were reflected by the weather, you would be mad too. Reminiscent of practical magic!

Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vazquez Gilliland
4.5/5⭐️

There’s a quality in the writing that forces my shoulders to drop and my mind to relax. Such a sweet and soft love story, it felt like a deep breath in a grassy field!

The Bewitching by @silviamg.bsky.social
5/5 ⭐️

There were some seriously scary moments for me. Read it at night at your own risk. This is a new take on witches that I found very exciting and scary.

ngl only on here because my name’s Gabriela and I’ve never read a book with an mc that shares my name lol Plus I just read the Las Leonas series by Adriana Herrera and now I’m in my historical romance era, those where all 5 stars for me!

Love that for me! I also spent way too long on canva making this (I’m learning) instead of actually reading so we’ll see!!

This one time I somehow read 16 books in one month and now I think that’s somehow attainable. Have never gotten close to that again, but I will keep trying to recreate that feat! Let’s see how it goes.

Deinfluence me plz just in case

This is so funny to me rn looking back you can really see where I crashed out and had to take a deep breath for a couple of days while reading Katabasis

I was unfamiliar with her and I truly couldn’t stop. She did those books so well! Have you read any of her other ones?

gablerksreads 💙📚 @gablerks.bsky.social · Oct 1

it was a reread for me, but really so quick. I read it in tandem with the audiobook. John Green writes a teenage girl so convincingly it’s wild to me

on booksky we don’t say “oh what a pretty book! I love it😍” we say “hey I’m gonna break into your home” and I think that’s beautiful 🙂‍↕️

Good morning ☀️ just wanted to share how September went for me. I discovered some new authors and went down the rabbit hole with some YA horror (something I never read!) It’s been so fun, lmk if you’ve read any of these!

I think so, I’d heard of some of them just didn’t realize they were interconnected. It’s going to be a while though idk that I’ll prioritize that rn

gablerksreads 💙📚 @gablerks.bsky.social · Sep 28

I thought it was so funny! I just wish we’d had deeper emotional moments around the family dynamics yk. Did you read any of the others? I realized today this is the 4th book

Pitcher Perfect by Tessa Bailey
3.5/5⭐️

It’s a quick read and a good time! Robbie is a hockey player and Skylar is a D1 softball pitcher. There’s fake dating, spicy lessons, and some really cute romcom moments.

It’s Different This Time by @jossrichard.bsky.social
5/5⭐️

📆 09/30

This book felt like a movie, like a hug. For a new release, it has an unexpected nostalgic quality that kept me fully engaged. It’s a true love story, impossible not to root for June and Adam!

The Silenced by Diana Rodriguez Wallach
5/5⭐️

Pub day 09/16

A YA horror novel about the Troubled Teen Industry. Hazel is haunted by the ghost of a girl who faced the horrors of the reform school. Absolutely loved it!

As a Last Resort by Kristin Wollett
3.5/5⭐️

📆 pub day 09/02

Sam and Austin reconnect with her return to the island hometown, and fall into an easy rhythm. It’s the perfect end of summer book! They’re so cute and perfect!

so many have told me that and I have it from Libby after waiting so long!! It’s like a reward

gablerksreads 💙📚 @gablerks.bsky.social · Aug 5

not unpopular, it’s a reread too and only on there because I got the audiobook and I’ll be driving for hours. If I can find another audiobook for something else on the list I think I’ll switch it.

gablerksreads 💙📚 @gablerks.bsky.social · Aug 5

Feeling slightly overwhelmed with my TBR for August (this is a lot for me). If you’ve read any of these lmk if I should skip or if it’s a must!!

To be fair The Odyssey, Dante’s Inferno are all rereads and I’m only reading them again to get hyped for Katabasis next month!
