    I really liked this! Im usually not into fantasy because (for me) it takes too long to set the stage but this one did it in a great way. Gotta love a strong fmc. Excited to read the rest of the series :)

    There was no reason for it to be this long. Somewhere between the 60 and 70% mark, it should have ended. Conflict was resolved, they were together, and still there was a while third to go.

    I just didn't connect with either of the main characters in a way I had hoped I would. This is marketed as a fall read, but this could have been set in any season without major changes to the story. I am interested in apple butter after reading this, so I'll take that as a win!

  • Fall recs please🫶🏼🍂

    Hi all! I've been absolutely loving the cosy season but my fall reads have been letting me down a bit. I've read cinnamon bun bookstore, cinnamon spice inn, apple cider b&b (I think? They tend to blend together lol) and some Freida McFaddens. You get the genres lol.

    I want to close the season out with some great fall reads that contain all the cozy vibes (or some great fall mysteries!). What are your must reads for the cozy season?

  • Challenge: Let's curate the ultimate bookish Christmas list

    I was asked to start writing out my Christmas list (even though I am past the age of needing gifts, but I won't say no 😁).

    I definitely want bookish things, but not books (because I like to go to the store and get those myself as part of the fun).

    I thought it would be a fun challenge to ask members of this community what bookish or book related items they would ask for in an ideal world.

    Rule: Bookish, book related, but not a specific title of book.

    Think more accessories, related items, merch, apparel, stuff you like to use as you read, drinks, games, etc.

    The choice is yours.

    FEEL FREE TO PARTICIPATE WHETHER YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS OR NOT. I myself am not religious and hold no denominational association to the holiday. All are welcome to comment and it can just be a wishlist.
