A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Box Set (5 books): 9781639730193
one of my favorite reads lately that I immediately ordered a paper copy of!!! if you are familiar with Lilith + her lore, don’t be afraid of the “loose” connection. I think it was done wonderfully ❤️
Terror at the Gates (Blood of Lilith #1)
🐝 Mad Honey. not my usual type, but it pulled me in and didn’t let go. it’s got heavy twists, layered characters + some real-life gut punches. paperback girlies who like a little mess with their meaning… this one’s for you. ❤️🔥📚
Mad Honey: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel
wrecked me in the best way. historical fiction that actually keeps you hooked: heartbreak, sisterhood, survival. I was fully gutted + fully obsessed. If you love a good cry + a strong woman story, add it to your paperback pile. 💔🔥📖
The Nightingale: A Novel
is it a literary work of art? no, probably not.
is it a smutty little gateway story? YES.
an easy read that got me back into reading years ago.
Hooked - by Emily McIntire (Paperback)
be still my BLEEDING heart 💔
The Song of Achilles - (P.S.) by Madeline Miller (Paperback)
have i read this entire series more than 7 times? yes. can you read it on kindle? also, yes.
you still need the paperbacks. I have them all. AND half off???
Throne of Glass Box Set - by Sarah J Maas (Hardcover)
if you know the Morbid podcast, then you know Alaina! she used her knowledge of forensics + the morgue to really bring something different to the table. it was an easy read, but an enjoyable one.

slade ravinger. the love of my life.
Gild (The Plated Prisoner, 1)
remember, book one was the real struggle. this book is when raven kennedy is coming to collect the commitment you’ve made.
TRUST ME. stick around for Slade. 🖤👿
Glint (The Plated Prisoner, 2)
if you’ve made it this far, I’m so flattered to know that I’ve earned your trust.
keep going. stay around for the rot. I mean the plot. 🖤💀
Gleam (The Plated Prisoner, 3)
rip. rot. ravinger. 🖤
Glow (The Plated Prisoner, 4)
“Because one thing that usually threatens a man is the thought of being replaced by a woman.”
enough said.
Gold (The Plated Prisoner, 5)
rot is exactly what I shall do now that this series is over 😭
Goldfinch (The Plated Prisoner, 6)
this gorgeous piece of literary greatness is worth the hardback. oh, sylvia, the way that you live on. ❤️🩹
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”
The Bell Jar: A Novel (Perennial Classics)

it’s got serial killers, excessive smut + hot MC’s. what more do y’all want in a comfort read???
Butcher & Blackbird - by Brynne Weaver (Paperback)

you will question me. you will lose faith… you will come back for more + more + thank me for everything darius acrux is in a man.
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening - by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti (Paperback)
a soft spot was carved in my heart for these two. a slightly different take on the magic systems you may be used to. red head MMC?! vampires? sexy time in the middle of brawls? *swoon* 💓
The Serpent & the Wings of Night - (The Crowns of Nyaxia) by Carissa Broadbent (Paperback)
sucker for all things hades + persephone 🥹
while the books from his POV are much better, i enjoyed the context from both that we get.
and yes. i have also read this entire series multiple times.
A Touch of Darkness - by Scarlett St. Clair (Paperback)
read this when i was looking for a switch up, possibly a lazy read… and found myself hanging on and on and on NEEDING to know who did what when where why.
