This was a wild ride since I consumed this mostly in the hours between 11pm-2am during the holiday. I’m not sure if the sleep deprivation made the world incomprehensible or if it was not described well, but I did very much enjoy the male version sugar plum fairy

Starting the Quicksilver reread before I do Brimstone. Have I just read this 7 months ago? Yes, and? I will not waste an opportunity to revisit meeting the 7 gods.

Been scouring for the next audiobook in the Eating Woods series whilst reading Anathema bc I know I need more. Unfortunately it won’t be ready til March and now I’m actually considering buying a hard copy of Eldritch. All of this being said, I thought it was slow AF world building

I’ve read the whole series but I was cracking up thinking what if someone just reads this 18 minute alt POV without any context?
Adding alt POV snippets after the fact is kinda crazy bc by the time it’s published, ppl barely remember what is happening at that point. #booksky #viciouslostboys

Stories of puritan witch hunts and the injustice and insanity that go along with it always wreck me, so I started Slewfoot with trepidation.
Spoiler alert:
It did wreck me. But the revenge and liberation bring balance at the end which sadly is fantasy in more ways than one.

This is a Hallmark movie masquerading as a dark romance book 😑

Nocticadia. I needed this. And by this, I’m referring to the “touch her and 💀”, forbidden romance, and burn the world for her. And wow, don’t miss the last minute of the epilogue. I expect a sequel is on the way.

I wish this was a movie so bad. But I don’t know if anyone could do it justice.

Had to read the OG Sleepy Hollow for old time’s sake. I remember Brom Bones being a bully and a brute, but he didn’t seem all that bad to me this time reading 👀

Going back for a classic American Halloween read: The Halloween Tree. Do people write this well anymore? When I read modern books I think “I could have written this,” but books like this remind me how much skill is involved with great literature.

I am obsessed with Sleepy Hollow and expectations were very high for this reimagining. That being said, I enjoyed this one. I think the ending could have been stronger and I would have preferred hard copy book instead of audio, but overall it’s good and the horseman is kinda lovable 😍

The Knight and the Moth is so good! Love the FMC and MMC and their dynamic. The gargoyle’s character is so lovable it’s so well narrated in the audiobook. Can’t wait for the next one and I want to see more sprites!

Taylor Swift’s Actually Romantic is giving Mean Girls “why are you so obsessed with me?” lol
It’s not my fault you’re like in love with me or something

Taylor Swift may say she’s not a bad bitch, but saying your ex is the smallest man who ever lived and then on the next album saying your new man is a big as a redwood is pretty savage 😂

Just finished Where the Dark Stands Still last night and omg. I will be thinking about this ending for a long time. I was getting pretty mad but the epilogue changed everything.
This was a perfect setting for a fall read… magical forest with spirits and demons running amuck.
