📚Arcanist
✒️Marie Mistry
⭐2/5
🌶️3/5

Considering how much I enjoyed the first book, I'm pretty disappointed. This one fell flat completely. It was all very underdeveloped and underwhelming.
Felt nothing for any of the characters except the Arcanaeum itself.

Will I manage to read 12 more books before the end of the year to reach my 2025 Reading Goal?

Only time will tell.

Any recs for books you couldn't put down? Preferably under 400 pages.

📚The Correspondent
✒️Virginia Evans
⭐5/5

Didn't think I'd be into a story told entirely by letters but here I am.
This was lovely. The characters were great. Even got a tear out of me.
I'd recommend the audiobook!

Reading wrap up for November!

I've either been very mean with my ratings, or I've just not read many good books lately...

What's been everyone's favourite book last month?

📚Rain of Shadows and Endings
✒️Melissa K. Roehrich
⭐2/5
🌶️2/5

Reddit was raving about the Legacy series so I pushed through this first book, but I just don't get it. It was 700 pages of repetitive back and forth. The characters were awful. Character development, where?
No thanks.

Had a good time with this one! Thought it was a standalone, so was getting worried about pacing and character development, but I'm glad the story's not over yet! Will be continuing with the series.

📚Mate
✒️Ali Hazelwood
⭐3/5
🌶️3/5

For some reason this series doesn't do it for me like Ali's other books.
Loved it to start with but the pacing seemed off. I do seem to be more critical of books lately so could just be that.

📚Terror at the Gates
✒️Scarlett St Clair
⭐2/5
🌶️2/5

My god, this was boring. Didn't understand the plot nor the world building. I can't really tell you anything about the characters except that the MMC's personality (if I can call it that) was not consistent.

📚A Forbidden Alchemy
✒️Stacey McEwan
⭐4/5
🌶️1/5

Had a reading slump - made the mistake of starting 3 different fantasy books at the same time. This one's been decidedly the best, but it still took me 2 weeks to finish.

Love the Colsons!
Nina's decision making - not so much...

📚In The Dream House
✒️Carmen Maria Machado

Usually love memoirs narrated by the author, but this narration made me want to dnf several times.
I didn't really like this book, regardless. The flowery prose was not for me and I didn't feel like I got to know the author at all.

📚Shadows So Cruel
✒️Liv Zander
⭐2/5
🌶️3/5

Not a fan of the last 20% of this book. There was no need for all that.
Having now finished the duology I've realised I still don't fully understand the magic system. Might just be me.

📚The Bewitching
✒️Silvia Moreno-Garcia
⭐3/5

Perfect time of year for a witchy story. Took a while to get into but I ended up enjoying all 3 POVs.
As far as horror books go, this wasn't very scary - more of a thriller/mystery with supernatural elements.

📚Feathers So Vicious
✒️Liv Zander
⭐4/5
🌶️5/5

I can't in good conscience give this book 5⭐ because some scenes were unnecessary fucked up, but not gonna lie, I ate it up.

I went in blind, but definitely check TWs if picking this up - won't be for everyone.

Reading wrap up for October!

Have I been harsh with my ratings or did I just pick up a lot of shit books? 🤔

📚The Travelling Cat Chronicles
✒️Hiro Arikawa
⭐3/5

Read this to complete a challenge. Not bad but not really my thing either.
I think a lot might've been lost in translation - it felt quite stilted.

📚My Friends
✒️Fredrik Backman
⭐5/5

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Fredrik's storytelling in this book was incredible. I never knew where it was going.
Beautifully written with wonderful characters. Definitely will end up in my top 10 reads of 2025.

Perfect time of year for a gothic dark academia romance.
Really enjoyed the plot and myseries in this one.

📚Careless People
✒️Sarah Wynn-Williams

A trillion dollar company being shady? You don't say.

Hard to rate this one.
Although I knew FB was toxic, I didn't realise the extent of it. Am I shocked? No.
I do think the author is missing some self-awareness of her own complicity though.

Toxic lesbian vampires? Say less.

The pacing of the story felt very slow to me but I was hooked pretty much throughout. Beautifully written. Very similar vibes to Addie LaRue.

Aaaaaand that's enough of that.

The FMC turned into an idiotic doormat - couldn't believe she was written by a female author tbh.

📚Blood Of My Monster
✒️Rina Kent
⭐3/5
🌶️4/5

It's been a while since I've read a Mafia romance and the Mulan-esque premise drew me in.
It did lack in areas and the FMC's decision-making was a little flawed at best, but I gobbled it up nevertheless. Onto book 2!

Cute YA story but wish authors would stop using "Honey" as a pet name 🤢 gives me the ick every time.
