Happy Thursday, my friends! It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearing the end of the first month of the year!
As always, make yourself comfortable with your favorite snack and coziest of blankets, and let’s chat about the month.

Zara Jones believes in magic because the alternative is too painful to bear—that her sister was murdered by a serial killer and there is precisely nothing she can do to change it. If there’s anything Zara cannot stand it’s feeling powerless, so she decides she will do whatever it takes—even if that means partaking in the occult—to bring her sister back from the dead.
Jude Wolf might be the daughter of a billionaire, but she is also undeniably cursed. After a deal with a demon went horribly wrong, her soul is now slowly turning necrotic. Flowers and insects die in her wake and monstrous things come to taunt her at night. If Jude can’t find the right someone to fix her mistake, she fears she’ll die very soon.
Enter Emer Bryne: the solution to both Zara’s and Jude’s predicaments. The daughter of a witch, Emer sells spells to women in desperate situations willing to sacrifice a part of their soul in exchange for a bit of power, a bit of magic to change their lives. But Emer has a dark past all her own—and as her former clients are murdered one-by-one, she knows it’s followed her all the way to London.
As Zara and Jude enter Emer’s orbit, they’ll have to team up to stop the killer—before they each end up next on his list.

Hi friends, how’s it going? This past week I’ve been participating in the Winterween Readathon (thisissummerween) hosted by Gabby (gabbyreads / myfictionalworld) and have had the best time! As today is the last day of Winterween, I thought it only makes sense to do some mini reviews for the books that I read!
I was pretty proud of myself because I managed to complete all 5 prompts/read 5 different books during the week of the readathon, and many of them were books that I’d had on my TBR for a while now! So, without further ado, let’s get to it!

You know what time of year it is, my friends! It’s time for me to chat about my favorite reads of the year!
Truth be told, 2023 has been…a weird reading year? Some books were fantastic and others were…not. But the ones I loved I really did love. I actually didn’t rate all of these books 5 stars, some of them I gave around a 4.5, but these are the books that I’ve continued to think about throughout the year.
So, grab your favorite holiday treat, get cozy and let’s talk about my favorite books of 2023!

Was the greatest ever love story a lie?
The first time Romeo Montague sees young Rosaline Capulet he falls instantly in love. Rosaline, headstrong and independent, is unsure of Romeo’s attentions but with her father determined that she join a convent, this handsome and charming stranger offers her the chance of a different life.
Soon though, Rosaline begins to doubt all that Romeo has told her. She breaks off the match, only for Romeo’s gaze to turn towards her cousin, thirteen-year-old Juliet. Gradually Rosaline realizes that it is not only Juliet’s reputation at stake, but her life .With only hours remaining before she will be banished behind the nunnery walls, will Rosaline save Juliet from her Romeo? Or can this story only ever end one way?
Shattering everything we thought we knew about Romeo and Juliet, Fair Rosaline is the spellbinding prequel to Shakespeare’s best known tale, which exposes Romeo as a predator with a long history of pursuing much younger girls. Bold, lyrical, and chillingly relevant, Fair Rosaline reveals the dark subtext of the timeless story of star-crossed lovers: it’s a feminist revision that will enthrall readers of bestselling literary retellings such as Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell and Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese

Could you plan the Fall Formal with your (hot) nemesis? Whit Rivera is about to find out.
Frenemies Whit and Zay have been at odds for years (ever since he broke up with her in, like, the most embarrassing way imaginable), so when they’re forced to organize the fall formal together, it’s a literal disaster. Sparks fly as Whitney—type-A, passionate, a perfectionist, and a certified sweater-weather fanatic—butts heads with Zay, a dry, relaxed skater boy who takes everything in stride. But not all of those sparks are bad. . . .
Has their feud been a big misunderstanding all along?
Blisteringly funny and profoundly well-observed, The Fall of Whit Rivera is a snug and cozy autumn romcom that also tackles weightier topics like PCOS, chronic illness, sexuality, fatphobia, Latine identity, and class. Funny, honest, insightful, romantic, and poignant, it is classic Crystal Maldonado—and it will have her legion of fans absolutely swooning.

Hello friends! I hope that your November has gotten off to a great start! November is going to be a busy month for me, which unfortunately, hasn’t helped my anxiety over the last few weeks — that being said, I’m doing all I can this month to keep myself calm and relaxed. Anyway! Even with the busy November (and December) that I have ahead of me, I do have some books that I’m hoping to get read before the year ends, and I figured, how better to keep me accountable than make a post about it?
Grab your favorite snacks, get cozy, and let’s chat about a few books that I’m hoping to get to before the end of 2023!
