Super fun, but it‘s so modern that sometimes it gets to you. Overall, still super fun and references the myths in a way that a fan will appreciate!

I like the tropes in this one! #netgalley

This was an interesting enough collection! I wish I had the paperback so that I could experience the formatting better! It also reminded me a lot of the Angel of history.

Abyss is the first book I‘ve read in a long time that captures the inwardness and loneliness of an only child with messy parents. The novel also depicts the phenomenon of hyper-fixation. As an only child, this experience resonates with me, and I find it fascinating to see it portrayed in literature.

So so good! It‘s an amazing piece of fiction!

I‘m in love with this book and it‘s the first one on my things worth reading in 2023 list! A psychological thriller with twins set in the world of ballet! 👩â€�ðŸ�³ 😘

The book is out and I have it and I‘m happy and reading it!

I‘m something
unreliable
and this
is a day for
poetry.
I‘m trying to understand why I liked this book so much and I don‘t know. Given that I don‘t have an answer, I don‘t entirely know how to recommend this book and how to write a review for it! I‘ll sum it up by saying that there are just some really wonderful moments that pull you in and honestly Eileen Myles is so much fun to read out loud!

Rituals of Parsing will live in my head rent-free but some of the poems have really cheesy and average bits that bring the collection down! Otherwise i like this debut!

This slightly darker take on the miscommunication trope was solid if you get through the cringe at the start!

This book is just shameless smut with some plot

NetGalley Month: 4/20
NetGalley Year: 4/200

Decent read with all the right elements. I just feel like there were too many plot holes and the main didn‘t have enough of a personality.

NetGalley: 3/20
NG Year: 3/200

I like Emily murdoch but this heroine was tstl!

This sci-fi had a lot of information to absorb but it was fun! This was a great take on robots

I DNFed this one! I just couldn‘t stand how the main character spoke! It just felt so out of place! And of course oblivious father and hunky love interest. If there was smut in here I would say this is perfect for people who have a adopted sibling but isn‘t sibling kink.
I am being harsh. I may start the book up again. Who knows.

I suspect that unless I read more house of slaughter books this may be my last read of the year!

It was cute and short!

Anthologies just hit different and this is one of the best ones I‘ve read! #netgalley

This is a good start to a series! Think Time Squad but dark and for adults!

So so good!

This was a fun read! The chemistry was great even if one of the characters seemed a bit tstl at the start (she grows on you)! I feel like the second book will be better, but I‘m worried I‘ll forget the magic system by then!

This was a good read! I also read up a bit about HI/LO books while writing my review and it‘s a bit annoying that Amazon decided to put this one in for 7-9 years olds instead of sticking to YA. This was fun though!

Don‘t judge me, but this was fun! Please do read the trigger warnings though if you do read it! #netgalley

While there isn't anything really wrong with the book, it just got slightly boring. We never really got into his time in London. Didn't really learn much about anyone. The main thing used to get things going in the book were the cats.

This book was cute! I did a whole review for it but it was as a whole a cute read!

Love YA thriller and holly jackson is the da bomb

This is such a good book! I stayed up until 4 am reading this and decided to work from home so I could read some more today!

For an enemies to lovers in a supernatural academy, not much academy and not much in terms of enemies. Do people know what enemies are??!! Also the MC is 17 and we got hit with the you're not like other girls line and some growling I was like hmmmm this probably did good on booktok. But as a read this did go down quickly so I get why people will like this.

I wanted to get through a regency romance book because I was like this will be a fun light read. But no, it was so boring. Also, armpit licking is a weird kink and no one can tell me otherwise.

I‘m not a sci-fi person but for this series I‘ll become one! Fantastic debut. Loved the interesting themes, but also how well written it was. The kind of thing that makes you want to slow down and read slowly!

The journal pages were pretty but the collection was disappointing.

Loved it! So so much fun! Perfect to sort of empty your mind and not feel terrible when you‘re in pain. I think I‘m going to watch promising young woman next.

Why am I so in love with the YA thriller genre?! How did this happen?! Do I love it more than regency romance now?

This was fun to do.
Also the cover is so perfect, like no filter needed it‘s just gorgeous!

This was a good read for #spooktober! Also was a tour book that I blanked out on so now I‘m embarrassed to request another book! This one was good though so it‘s even worse because the author probably thinks I disappeared because I don‘t like it! :/

Blythe Baird's collection is beautifully mature. Some of the poems make you sad, but there's a sense of a person who has grown up in these pieces which helps a lot; which gives you hope. That our personalities are more than what broke us.

Very modern retelling of HTTYD but post apocalyptic!

This was so so so good! Mafia clans, witches, with gothic vibes and memorable characters

I had so much fun reading this one! 5/5 because I read it in one night!

Also, this helped with my feedback ratio on netgalley! So woohooo

I want this book so badly!

#QOTD: what do you think is the appropriate time to ask an author for an arc? #askingforafriend #coverreveal #iwantthis #iwantthemovie

I‘m a bit obsessed with this cover! But the book is also awesome!

Thank you NetGalley and OldCastle books!
1922 is a short but interesting read that really sums up what the year 1922 would have felt like to someone living through it!
I don't think a reader will find everything included in this book interesting, that being said I would give it to anyone who likes history because Nick Rennison is a good writer.
Of course, I did feel like the book focused on some countries more than others.

This was a fun read!

Tell me an ending was pretty good! I‘d give it 3.5 out of 5 stars! I would read another book by the author because the idea was pretty good!

Love love loved this book!

I know Goodreads says it's like 3 stars, but this was a 5 star read for me that was put in front of the wrong readers!

Very cute and very funny! (Also a clean read if that something you'd prefer!

This book just made me very happy! Very sweet and great magic system! I low-key really hope that the author builds up on this world!

#booktour

This was a cute clean romance! It‘s not my usual type of romance, which is always regency, but still very cute!

Thank you NetGalley and The Passionate Pen for the chance to read and review the arc for 100 Nights with the Duke.

I can easily see why Jess Michaels has been able to publish 100 romance novels, and I'll probably check out more if I haven't already! This was a fun, light, read, with a lot of smut. I loved the twist, I didn't see that coming from Granny!

Love it when I get a good poetry book from #netgalley

Or, if you won‘t, at least leave me like you mean it.
