Bail at 112. 🤮
I can not take ANYMORE. I would have loved this when I was 14 and in my Twilight era. Now? It's tripe.

News!
Not an exact date, yet news worthy nonetheless...

For my book recommendation, Gothikana by RuNyx.
A bit on the too spicy side.
Read this year and the story has remained with me. Absolutely loved this book.
Not really scary, more mysterious.

1.5/5⭐ I would have devoured this book as a teenager. It suffocates you in stereotypical gothic vibes. The man is a dangerous enigma, the woman is a young mystery, and the author reminds you of these things in every weakly written paragraph. I DNFed at the line “a part of her wanted to...blush furiously at the singular masculine attention from a very masculine male.“ 🤢 #doublespin
Another #readyourkindle pick. I expected dark academia but got spooky smut instead! A gothic school with dark secrets and many disappearances. The ending was a little anti climactic but I did love Vad and trying to figure out if Corvina is struggling with an actual illness or if it‘s magic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
When we went to Walmart a few weeks ago, the store had revamped the DVD and book selection. This was one of the goodies I discovered.
Mix of the TV show Wednesday, with equal parts Beauty and The Beast meets Dracula, and a bit of Orson Welles as Edward Rochester in the 1943 version of Jane Eyre...all of this mixed well and transformed into a uniquely original, paranormal mystery. 👇
Spooky smut. Thats what this book was and i was here for it! The book itself is gorgeous with quote pages at the beginning of each chapter. I thought the story was really good and it had me locked to see what would happen next. The chapters are broken up between Corvina and Vad which i loved! I don‘t want to give anything away but you should definitely read it if spooky smut is your jam!
Fell to sleep while reading this, and awoke with the song, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence blasting (not literally). I guess my subconscious has found a song match for this book 😂, and here my waking self has been considering something more classical 🤔. Been ages since listening to this...
I guess “ghost“ wins even over Batman. This book has held my interest over all other current reads...bewitching (so far)!
Already reading four books at the moment, don't need to start another book when my limit is normally three.
Then I decided to take a peek inside this beauty before adding it to my bookshelf.
I understand colors, purple invokes mystique, framed by black increases that mystery. Yet I have allowed this book to put its spell on me 🧐. 👇
I didn't really enjoy this one.
It is like the show Wednesday with spicy scenes.
I felt there was a lot of build-up for the mystery surrounding the school and the murders, but it was wrapped up really fast. I probably wouldn't recommend this.
I don't usually buy books from Target but it was staring at me at checkout and 30% off!
And my smut shelf begins.

I know this one has gotten a lot of mixed reviews so i thought i would give it a read. Its almost 400 pages so if it‘s as badly written and edited as the reviews say, then i‘ll bail early!
Someone isn't amused that I am using her back as a book rest 🤔😜
Oof. Whoever gave this one the green light, especially the weirdly giant font on the first page of each new chapter and the awkward AI art, ought to have a good long think about what they‘ve done.
Dark academia, supernatural occurrences, and a gothic atmosphere combine together with some very spicy romance to create a fun read! I loved Corvina and her backstory, especially her relationship with her mother, and Vad is a strong, forbidden, dark, romantic character. I loved the multiple references to other gothic authors (especially Poe), and the images throughout the book added to the whole experience.
Book mail! 😍😍😍
I had to add this book to the Litsy database, but please don‘t take that as an endorsement.😂
I needed a #DarkAcademia book for #Booked2022 and since I‘ve read most of the great ones, took a chance with a book that Booktok actually seems to think fits that category. While it is dark, and at a school, it‘s also ridiculous and just not well written at all. Must get myself on a better side of Booktok.
