    My first book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I looove her style! Her descriptions are just so beautiful, and I like how she manages to make Noemí's personality shine through her thoughts, even using third person narration.

    Also, I'm at the point of the story when Noemí arrives at her cousin's house and is it me or is this giving Crimson Peak? 👀

  • From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1)
    Books like Blood And Ash

    I absolutely LOVEEE Blood and Ash but the author is too busy milking the series sooo it would be helpful if anyone can recommend me book series that are like Blood and Ash (enemies to lovers + smut + fiction)

    i’ve been struggling lately to find a book that i can escape into and even though im literally only on chapter 2 (😭) the way this book is written is really immersing me into the world. i will say i’ve seen a lot of mixed takes but so far im intrigued

    I must admit I was slightly more bored with this one than with the first two books. However, I think this is more of a me-problem: I had a very busy couple of weeks and I kept getting distracted while I read. Though some might argue that, had the book been interesting and engaging enough, I wouldn't have gotten distracted. We'll never know 😅

    The plot is still interesting and I will definitely read the final book, but maybe I'll take a break first.

    I liked having Madinia and Asinia's povs as well, I can't wait to see what's in store for them (for one of them, I have my suspicions, obviously, hehe).

    The only thing I can think of that was a bit "meh" this time was the romance between the main couple, which kind of plateaued for most of the book in my opinion (understandable, considering the storyline, but still...).

  • Humbling moment as a language learner and as a reader

    When you read a word that you've NEVER heard out loud and when you hear someone say it, it turns out that it doesn't sound how you thought it was gonna sound AT ALL.

    Do NOT ask me how I thought "Choir" and "Mischievous" were pronounced
