~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something Wicked October: The Craft- Modern Day Witch. While it's definitely more historical fiction, the end does lead us to some modern day witchery!

I would most likely buy a house on the cliffs of Moher in southwest Ireland, overlooking the ocean. It would obviously have to have an amazingly large library and a fireplace in every room! . . I’m on my way to work, sadly. I hope you all are enjoying your Sunday! . .

Tell me something about your personality that you often hide from others. . . I am definitely an introvert, although I never used to be. I loved crowds, music festivals, dancing— lighting my hoop on fire and performing in front of crowds 🙈 A lot has changed in the last five years— I would much rather stay in, curled up with a book and a cup of coffee than brave the outside world. I often hide the fact that I’m a complete nerd! . . The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh is still haunting me— I can’t stop thinking about this world, these characters, the last few pages that hinted at a most exciting plot for The Damned. I cannot wait to find out what happens with Bastien and Celine, and the Court of the Lions! I highly recommend picking this one up— it was a five star from me. . . I hope everyone is having an amazing day! I’m home, lounging in my glorious yoga pants, a cup of steaming coffee in my hands, and Belle Révolte by Linsey Miller just waiting for me to pick it back up! . .

QOTD: If you could live in any bookish world, which would you choose and what would be your job?! . . I would most likely die quickly in all of my favorite bookish worlds, not to mention that most of them rarely have indoor plumbing. I’m constantly reading about characters living on hard cheese and bread— as much as I love reading about these worlds, it’s a hard pass from me. I’m a basic bitch that needs my daily coffee and shower! . . I’m hanging out at home today, yoga pants donned and coffee ☕️ is being consumed. Other than cleaning and laundry, I have zero plans to be productive. Lazy days are the best days. I hope you’re all having an amazing week! . .

Belle Révolte by Linsey Miller sounds incredible— it’s an historical fantasy with strong female characters! I cannot wait to pick this one up.

QOTD: Which most anticipated read this year lived up to all your expectations?! Was there one that didn’t? . . The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh was one of the books that I was most excited about. Renee’s writing style is beautiful and atmospheric— I’ve loved all of her other stories and I was so excited to learn she was writing about vampires in New Orleans. Anne Rice has long been a favorite of mine, and I was expecting something similar with The Beautiful. I started it last night, and regardless of what I expected, I LOVE IT! It’s so well written, descriptive, and the characters— I fell in love with them immediately. It’s not what I was expecting, yet so much more! I highly recommend adding it to your fall tbr. I’ve got a little over 100 pages left and I can’t wait to find out what happens! . . I’m spending my last day off running errands and finishing up adulting things. 😒 I hope everyone is having an amazing Friday eve! . .
