    What are some underrated romantasy books to read? I'm looking for something interesting, that isn't all over the internet. 😊

    Ok I wish there were a higher rating available because I can't even begin to express how much I loved this book. I think this was the first time this year that I actually sat down IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY (I usually read at night) and read HALF of it. I honestly might have finished it in one day but I was enjoying it so much I slowed my reading pace so I could savor it, like a fine wine.

    T. Kingfisher is a master of her craft and is quickly making her way into the ranks of my favorite authors. Every SINGLE character is endearing (or suitably odious), the plot the perfect blend of realism and whimsy, and the writing completely immersive. I genuinely cannot WAIT to read this again (and I am currently adding it to my cart because I need to own my own copy of this book immediately).

    While I can see why people would like this book (part of the reason why I came in with high expectations), it really wasn't for me. In many ways, I felt like this book possessed a lot of elements of a "booktok" book, elements that I personally don't enjoy reading. For one, the writing and a lot of the tropes fell flat and I really struggled understanding the characters and their motivations. I also had high hopes for the enemies-to-lovers romance, and was given insta-love instead 🫣 I must say though, it's one redeeming quality in my opinion was Bartholomew. I loved him dearly.

    “I suppose you’d object to setting part of the town on fire?” Sarkis asked. “I must certainly would!” “Pity.”

    Pity indeed, my arson-loving friend 😔

    HONESTLY I’m having a great time so far. It’s a pretty slow-paced book but the vibes are really great (autumn in Oxford?! Witches, daemons and vamps?!) and it feels nostalgic in a perfect way for me. Also always a plus for me when the FMC is 30+ 🤌🏻 Not reading a whole lot the last few weeks but have been really enjoying picking this one up every night!!

  • Thoughts on special editions, hardcovers, sprayed edges

    What are your thoughts on sprayed edges, special editions, hardcover versions or any sort of special twist on a title you want to purchase?

    Do you like it? Indifferent? Curious to know what people think.

    My thoughts:

    I don't care about sprayed edges. They are nice, but I don't display my books that way. I also won't pay more for it.

    Special editions I don't buy. I think they are nice but I like what is in the book, and unless the book is as stunning as the Locked Library version of The Princess Knight by Cait Jacobs (look it up, I swear, it's the prettiest), I don't see the added value personally.

    Also I would rather a softcover BC more books and less money 🤣
