  • For all the hardcore book lovers out there:

    Is your love 💕 for books something unexplainable and always, persistently there (despite some reading slumps) or is it something you had to grow 🌱 into over time?

    For me, it's like reading is in my genes 🧬. I've loved it and can't imagine a future without it. For those who feel like they had to grow into their love for books, what caused that? A teacher 👩‍🏫, a friend 👯‍♀️, or an unexpected event👀?

    I knew going in that this book would be special. I just knew. It’s the same feeling I get whenever I read the first line of any Alix E. Harrow book.

    The most special thing is the story. Alix lives and breathes stories, and therefore constructs such rich, heartbreaking, joyous, adventurous and hopeful stories.

    January is a stubborn fool in many parts, and in all the others, she’s just a lost teenage girl desperate for her family. She has an iron will and a best friend to match it.

    This is an incredible book with beautiful prose and purposeful construction. I just love it so much. There’s not much else to say, but believe me, you’ve got to read and experience it for yourself.

    How refreshing it is to read a fantasy romance where the mmc is a total loser and gets weak at the knees at the thought of being picked up easily by the stronger taller fmc.

  • Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)
    Thoughts from 38% (page 213)

    As much as I’m getting into the plot of the book and the overall story, I just can’t deal with how MUCH Violet constantly obsesses over the hotness or sexiness of the two male love interests. Like I get it, JESUS, they’re hot okay??? It’s the main thing that takes me out of the world. Like every other paragraph contains “he’s so hot” this and “curse his attractiveness” that.
