I just finished this yesterday and cried my eyes out😭 I loved this book so much, but I need to go stare at a wall now before starting a new book

Is it normal for a single quote to make you cry? I don't know, but this month's reads had me in TEARS. I would rate this book ♾️⭐️/ 5⭐️

I've been sooo late to the trend of reading summer themed books, and I'm soo sad because this book is chef's kiss☀️🌞
People We Meet on Vacation

Why do I do this to myself?? I've re-read this book a few days ago because I felt like it had an autumn vibe, but apparently the vibe I chose for this autumn is tears? Anyways, I would obviously recommend it, a good cry is always welcomed 🤣
The Song of Achilles: A Novel

Since reading The Locked Tomb series, I'm locked in on queer books in space, and this book delivered just that. This was exactly what I needed it at the right time
Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon

This is what I kinda wanted Katabasis to be. Anyways, if you want a poly relationship, with a trip straight to literal hell, then you're just like me so you'll enjoy this one
Death's Country

This was... a ride. I just started reading horror, and Idk why I fixated on this book so much, but it was beyond my expectations. I never knew where this book was going and I was confused in a good way, like excited to see what happens next. Give it ...
The Starving Saints: A Novel

I've read an ARC of this (and loved it) and just had to have it in my hands. If you love witches, and multiple timelines, this book is for you!
The Bewitching

This book made me miss summer, and it just passed?? I'm also not a summer person, so what this book did is impossible. I loved the vibes soo so much and so far I've loved every Ali Hazelwood book🥰
Problematic Summer Romance
 
Maddie profile picture
This is my second book from this author and I love love love her writing style. I've read this book in one setting just because I couldn't stop thinking about it. The blurb also doesn't do it justice, cause I thought it's gonna be a lil' cringe after...
The Thrashers: A Novel
 
Maddie profile picture
This book made me see the world under a different light, and I don't know how to explain it. It has such a gentle and genuine way of showing you what's right and wrong that leaves no questions behind. Even though I already agreed with the ideas prese...
To Shape a Dragon's Breath: The First Book of Nampeshiweisit

This is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo thriller version and I ate this up!! (pun intended) Go read this now, while it's still spooky season.
The Dead Husband Cookbook

The most anticipated release of the month did not disappoint me at all! I love the Hell description in this book and the romance (which is a sub plot, but I love a sub plot romance). For me, this is the best R. F. Kuang book that I've read so far🫶🏻
Katabasis (Standard Edition): A Novel
 
Maddie profile picture
If you know me, you know I love a good T. Kingfisher book, and this one did not disappoint. I will not bore you with the blurb, but I will tell you my opinion on it: I LOVED IT. There's not a book from this author that was not a 5⭐️ read for me, but ...
Nettle & Bone

TJR can do no wrong and this book is the proof. A queer 1980s space travel??? My cup of tea. It's thrilling and emotional and it is exactly what you would expect to receive from an author like TJR: heartbreak.
Atmosphere: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Love Story

Why did it take me so long to read this book?? Arghhh. I loved the toxicity of this book, the characters, the writing style. I just lost myself in the story. There's no one like V. E. Schwab, and I am here to read anything that she writes.
