I had such fomo about #thepoppywarseries since restarting my reading journey, and I’m so glad I finally dove into the world! #rfkuang did an amazing job at setting the stage for an epic high fantasy.

#vampiresofelnorte by Isabel Cañas is a must read!

I’m still obsessing over this fresh take on vampires. I loved the atmospheric, historic setting and the high stakes the characters faced.

Bad Things Come in Threes by Didi Adeyemi 💕

This is a slow burn, dislike-to-lovers romance between a fashion mogul and journalist. These two had so many run ins that I yelled at them to hurry and get together! The slow burn was worth it though because the chemistry 🤌 the banter 🤌

Every time I finish a Beverly Jenkins book it makes my heart so happy💕

Beverly Jenkins has become a staple in my reading journey. The Old West series features the Carmichael family, their beaus, and everyone that helps shape them into the women that they are!

I’ve been waiting since episode 1 for this to happen and it may finally be time! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I hope Nick gives my girl Olandria the attention and love she deserves because Taylor ain’t it 🙄

Our Vicious Oaths is an action packed, fantasy that’s out on 10/28!

This book has a unique magic system with a range of powers in different kingdoms. The MCs have a true enemies-to-lovers dynamic with several instances of tension and spice.

“…the act of making a choice, of choosing a path, doesn’t mean the other path disappears. It just means that it will forever run parallel to the one you’re on.”

4.5⭐️

As someone who struggles with reading classics, this was a fun and thrilling take on Frankenstein. Meka Redwood & her family remind me of the Addams’ with an interesting take on the dead and all it entails.

The Bone King and the Starling by Elizabeth Stephens

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

No real negatives but Starling did get on my nerves sometimes - I mean I understand why but girl. Just let that man love you and devour you! 😂😂😂
