Day 3: Book you did not finish
I don't have very many books I haven't finished, but Fifty Shades of Grey is very high up on the list of books I dropped like it burnt me

Day 2: Favorite book by your favorite author
I will never not recommend Sorcery of Thorns! It is one of my favorite books by Margaret Rogerson. The sequel is just as good, too! ❤️✨️

What happens when the person you'd burn the world for forgets you entirely? There's no grand reunion, just one cleric clawing his way through Hell for a soul that may never return to him.

We Were Men Once is a queer dark fantasy about a cleric who would tear through Hell for the husband he lost.
If you love emotionally devastating slow-burns, memory loss tropes, and beautifully broken characters, this one’s for you.

Ever since the release of VOWN, and now dreaming endlessly about what I have planned for vol 5 (and beyond), I find myself constantly reminiscing about where it all started for Saffron and Cylvan— they’ve grown so much, and we’re still only halfway done… 🐺

I wanted to read this book because when I saw the cover it reminded me a lot of a book I read as a kid, "Alligator Baby" by Robert Munsch. This was very nostalgic for me.
