  • What's your aesthetic? Does it match what you read

    I'm curious — considering a lot of us readers are collectors, have lots of cozy hobbies, and take care of curating a space that feels like our own — what's your aesthetic?

    I'm a pink and glitter lover, which means my kindle and Kobo are decorated with pink, and I like pink and glittery things in my cozy gaming and reading space. I think mine matches my fave genres, which is romance.

    I'm curious how everyone else is curating or decorating their shelves/reading space/ hobby space.

    And does it match what you read?

    Cautiously interested

    Is there anyone out there disliked Mexican Gothic, but would recommend this book or other books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I thought Mexican Gothic was incredibly boring and predictable. Also in the end I didn’t care about any of the characters. Her books keep popping up and although this one sounds interesting… I’m skeptical.

  • What’s your biggest pet peeve in books?

    I personally hate when they don’t match one of the books in series to the rest of them, like they’ll all have very specific and cohesive cover designs and height and one of the books in the series just has a random cover and they make it taller or shorter, like I don’t understand why they do this?? Any other things you guys hate to see in/on books?

  • Halloween Countdown! AHHHHH!!

    Bloody hell, where’s the time gone! (the blood, because it’s the blood… sucker… you got it) We only have one week left until Halloween ushers in the end of October 🧛🏼‍♀️

    How has everyone’s TBR goals been going and did you manage to read anything for the quest? If you did, what was your favourite and what would you recommend others try out? Will you try finish anything for Blood Suckers in the next week?

    I loved Hungerstone! Highly recommend if you love character studies focusing on female rage and self discovery, and highly recommend reading shortly after Carmilla!
