4 ✨ Unsettling, Savory & Grotesque

Not my preferred sub-genre within horror but I was highly entertained from start to finish. Plethora of social commentary. Some feeling too close to home. Plenty of body horror & emphasizes on family division specifically through a political scope. Was enthralled with watching the family slowly disintegrating, not only mentally but physically. I could not help but devour the entirety.

#WeeklyForecast
TBH the FMC for the tagged book has made me set it aside for almost a week now. I should really pick it back up since it's BOTM for a #Fable group. Problem is I have minimal desire even with all the hype around it. On the other end, I am only 20 pages into Red Rabbit & I want more 😍

Adventurous, tense & magical - 4✨

Absolutely loved this. The MC's & side characters all have major personalities. Torj stole my heart. He is here to speak truths & cause mischief. Look forward to definitely continuing this series. I do have an arc to read, but I desperately can‘t keep my eyes off these other two 😍😍

I don‘t post about this. I am a firm believer everyone is entitled to their own opinions whether mine coincides with/against those. Watching the address while I personally know & see many hard working people suffering. Attacking our allies while our stock market plummets. My heart has fully broken for this country. I feel a constant reminder tonight that history does repeat itself, just hope I‘m wrong. #ranttime

@CBee my #March #ReadYourKindle
Down to 0° today 🥶 & finally home. Going to cuddle up with a warm blanket & start the tagged book.

@TheAromaofBooks my #March #BookspinBingo board
currently reading tagged & the FMC is making it tough for me to push forward🤞 here is to hoping she gets it together soon

#bookspin - 12 - Meet & Greet Challenge
#doublespin - 1 - Kick N Pick Challenge

Sorry thought I posted it!! Here is my #ReadYourKindle list for #March @CBee

March #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m in awe of how beautiful this edition is. First time with #FairyLoot & I understand all the hype now. 😍😍

Updated #February #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
17 books for the month so far. Tagged is the last book needed to finish my Kick N Pick #GoodReads challenge. BUTTTTT I am too distracted by Fourth Wing to have any incentive to read the tagged. We shall see though.

Newest finished book vs newest edition to my library

Had to drag myself through the first 20% but well worth the pay off. I saw so many complaints about the writing style of this. Growing up reading Tolkien, the writing style wasn‘t difficult to get through. 4✨ & I can‘t wait to get my hands on the next installation in October.

@WildAlaskaBibliophile im obsessed with this card which will go with my collection. The books are perfect. These bath bombs smell phenomenal. All of the green apple candy!! 💚😍💚 zotz are some of my all time favorites too. Everything is perfect. Tysm & for hosting along with @TieDyeDude #ValloweenSwap

@TheAromaofBooks updated #BookspinBingo for #February hopefully can start tagged today for #goodreads since im snowed in 💖

Recovering well from extraction but I miss solid food. Everywhere I turn this series is shoved in my face. Let‘s find out if it‘s actually worth the hype🤞🐉 if you‘ve read this let me know your opinion or anything i should know just try to keep it spoiler free 💕

4.5 ✨💚
Words cant describe how much I loved every bit of this. Love, loss, lust, betrayal, war, politics, adventure, violence. It has so much going on, but still maintains fluidity. The friendship between Kenna/Anya is breathtakingly beautiful.

@TheAromaofBooks since this is book 10 for the month I will post & update my #BookspinBingo tomorrow. Wisdom teeth come out Tuesday, so who knows how much I‘ll be reading.

All prepped for the snow storm tonight. Starting this beauty 😍😍 💚💚

Username change to the one I use for everything else. TBH may add to it only for #litsy for now it‘s fine & #ValloweenSwap arrived today 🖤🖤

@WildAlaskaBibliophile @TieDyeDude I had to rush out of the house as I grabbed this so idk who sent it 🙈 I SWORE I saw who posted this the other day but can‘t remember for the life of me.

#WeeklyForecast Tagged was amazing 😍 I wouldnt consider it dark romance. More dark contemporary w/ spicy forbidden romance. Tension between the MCs had me dying plus all the twists & turns throughout. I understand the hype now. 4⭐

Other read was phenomenal!! Supernatural 19th century gothic where a twin comes to her sisters aid when losing her sanity after encountering centuries-old murdered woman in the bog. #arc #Netgalley 4⭐

@CBee my #ReadYourKindle for #February
I have ten chapters left of Nocticadia so will probably finish tonight
Will most likely start reading tagged after 💜

#February #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#Bookspin - 4 - Kick N Pick #Goodreads challenge
#DoubleSpin - 10 - #ValloweenSwap 🖤

#monthlywrapup 18 books finished - 2 bingos, 2 #readyourkindle finished 🎉 super successful month! No #bookspin or #doublespin. Highly doubt I'll finish anymore. Final #BookspinBingo board for January. @TheAromaofBooks

4 ✨
I really didn‘t want to finish this. 😩 Fully encompassed by the Irish folklore along with the Mallen family‘s story. The bits of slowness always had a moment of thrill to bring me back into the story. Creepy, mysterious & I was totally obsessed 🖤 @TheAromaofBooks #bookspinbingo

& she‘s off to a beloved member that‘s been apart of my litsy journey from the start 💌 #ValloweenSwap @WildAlaskaBibliophile @TieDyeDude should arrive in three days. Usernames on opposite side to keep secret 😈

@CBee my #ReadYourKindle list for #February

#BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks for #February I have two romance reading challenges to complete, majority will be those. Still waiting on Kick N Pick choices from partner. Have read 17 books this month!!! Trying to finish one more then will post updated board.

#ValloweenSwap @WildAlaskaBibliophile @TieDyeDude everything is wrapped up & ready to go. Will take photo & drop off at the post tomorrow 🖤

#weekendreads tagged playing while I work on my #bujo for an upcoming two month #goodreads challenge 🖤

#weekendreads finished tagged & adored! Takes a WHILE to get into. You get the gritty arena juxtaposed by the sweet romance although insta-love tied with political commentary & magical creatures 🖤

#currentread for a fable group. Half through & at the point where its about to go from 30 to 10364849. Sooooooo… should finish in a day/two since the MCs tension is too high for me atm 😆

Just received the #arc from poisoned pen press😍😍 #netgalley will be a late night

Updated #January #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
So far all fit my ebook or free slot except Sister Snake which was audio.

Tagged will get me first bingo of the year but I don't want to finish it 😅 It's one of those standalone books that is SO GOOD!! I don't want to leave the story/characters. Ive been prolonging the inevitable.

Updated #January #ReadyOurKindle @CBee
Hopefully can move onto the tagged, since I adored the first book! 😍
But I can hear my physical TBR screaming at me

The Elf Witch #ARC - 3 stars - 15th Jan
Storms of Fury - 4 stars - 13th Jan

Mid Month recap #Bookly - Im catching up on some doctors appointments this month & some other necessities which is why I haven't been on much.

Not a bad start to the year but nothing has seriously given me shock & awe. Did manage to read two books from #ReadYourKindle list @CBee 🥳. I will update both my kindle & #BookspinBingo board for #January @TheAromaofBooks

I am loving the Forgotten Kingdom Chronicles the deeper I get into the series.

Every time I start getting a bit bored, it brings me back in. I‘m really growing to love this series.

#ReadYourKindle #Bookspin

#LCS @BookmarkTavern Your letter means a lot to me. Yes I have no self control around dark chocolate & it‘s absolutely delicious. I‘ve been dying to read this. Also that gift wrapping was too adorable not to include. Thank you so much! 💕 now off to the dentist 😅

(4) Marginal - (9)House of Leaves
(10 - 14) Ebooks/ARCs
(15 - 20) Audiobooks

Updated #BookSpinBingo. Discussed a few on #snowedin post, here are notes on the rest. 😍😍 tagged current read. @TheAromaofBooks

18🎄Owned/Hunted for Christmas - 2✨
Really promising start then crashed. Insanely rushed.
19🍎 Owned/He Sees You... - 3✨
Better pacing, mysterious but a lot of fluff
20🎄Owned/That Sik Luv - 1✨
Needless to say I have 0 idea how it has a massive following
24🍎 FREE/Thrill of the Hunt - 3✨
Great novella, over the top 🔥

11 books read thus far, 4 #snowedin @pigpen_reads @PuddleJumper
Ive talked about some in a #bookspinbingo post, below are the rest.

❄️ Snows of Nissa - 3.75⭐
First 30% I wanted to DNF but then it got so much better! The world building amped up x 10. Some cringe but worth.

❄️ Lights Out - 4 ⭐
Hilarious, worth the hyper & 🔥🔥🔥

❄️ King of Wrath - 2⭐
Maybe Im not meant to enjoy contemporary romance. Overhyped, predictable & I found myself bored.

@BookmarkTavern it arrived a few days ago safely! #LCS #LittleChristmasSwap time to have my sister hide it until opening day 🥳 @bookish_wookish 🎄🎁 happy holidays!

Love this! #333Challenge @ChaoticMissAdventures

💸 - Riley Sager, Lucy Foley & Sarah J Maas
📚 - Leigh Rivers, Alice Feeney & Rina Kent
📖 - Paul Tremblay 🙈, Joe Hill 🙈🙈crazy that I still haven‘t/don‘t know why & tagged.

18 Dec - 5 - No Saints - 3.5✨
Loved the incorporation of art!

05 Dec - 13 - Slaying for Sloan - 2.75✨
Too similar plot-wise to Carving for Cara. #snowedin

01 Dec - 16 - Owned/Stalking Jack the Ripper - 3.5✨
Worth hype to a degree.

06 Dec - 17 - Owned/Once You're Mine - 2.75✨
Couldn't deal with both MMC/FMC.
