I think I need to stop trusting the hype, I went into Gild expecting a new obsession. All I came out with was a solid three star read and a lot of mixed feelings. It kept my attention. But I just wasn’t fully pulled me in. What Is Gild About? Auren lives as King Midas’s favoured “saddle.”…
This was supposed to be a five star read for me. Heavenly Bodies has everything I usually love.Enemies to lovers. Light versus dark kingdoms. A fate driven storyline. On paper? Perfect. In reality? It just didn’t fully land. I definitely enjoyed parts of it, but I just kept wishing it delivered more. What Is Heavenly Bodies…
I read Not Quite Dead Yet on a girls’ reading retreat. We all picked it together, so expectations felt high. But, I always grab a Holly Jackson book, hoping to chase the high of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. That entire series has set the bar ridiculously high for me. This one came close……
I have never felt more grateful for my Illumicrate subscription. It was because of that that I picked up The Poet Empress. Now I can’t stop thinking about it. This book never even crossed my radar before that moment. The idea that I almost missed it genuinely hurts a little. Something about this story pulls you in instantly….
This is going to be a little bit of a whirlwind and all previous plans are going out of the window. We are heading to Disney for the majority of April so I’ll be taking my Kindle and nothing else so I’ve planned accordingly.

A great month for reading again in March. I fell completely off the TBR bandwagon and tbh I’m okay with that. I reread the first two ACOTAR books which is exactly what I wanted and I found a new favourite! Out of the 9 books I read this month, I had 3 5 Stars, 4…
This book got me right in the feelings. I loved The Dead Romantics. It somehow feels light and comforting while dealing with grief, loss, and heartbreak. That balance? Not easy. But,Ashley Poston absolutely nails it. Yes, I guessed the ending early. Did I still love it? Obviously. Sometimes you just want an ending you can fully…
I love a whimsical fantasy. Give me magic, mild chaos, and something unexpectedly heartwarming. Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter delivers all of that and more. Some stories take ordinary life and sprinkle magic on top. This one wraps the mundane in enchantment and hands it back sparkling. What Is Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter About? Agnes…
Cleopatra broke me. Not in a casual “oh that was sad” way. In a full emotional devastation, stare-at-the-wall-for-a-minute way. I picked up Cleopatra because Waterstones recommended it. I will forever thank whoever made and sent that email my way. Some books transport you. This one grabbed my hand and dragged me straight into ancient Egypt. What Is Cleopatra About?…
Okay. I need to be honest. I went into Heated Rivalry ridiculously excited. Enemies to lovers? Hockey? Long term tension? That combination should have been my perfect book. And look, I did enjoy it.But this might be where the series lost a little spark for me. What Is Heated Rivalry About? If you love hockey romance and…
