I read this entire series recently. I don‘t usually read historical romance so that was a new thing for me. I found they are very formulaic and some of them were truly bad but for the most part I still had a great time throughout the experience. My ranking goes 1. Benedict/Sophie 2. Anthony/Kate 3. Hyacinth/Gareth 4. Colin/Penelope 5. Gregory/Lucy 6. Francesca/Michael 7. Duke and I 8. Eloise/Phillip

LOVING the spooky mysterious atmosphere 😍😍😍 so compelling so far

i adored the folklore feeling of this book and i am so excited to read more from this series- i have so many questions!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

November wrap up! Not a whole lot of books but the quality 👌👌👌👌

One of the many books I‘ve started and desperately want to finish 😅

My October wrap up! Rereading the Raven boys series was the most fun, I‘ve missed those characters and I appreciated the last book at lot more the second time round. Both Spinning Silver and The Beautiful were so atmospheric 👌👌👌 I just wanted more from the romance in Spinning Silver.

This book had a lot of hype so I was a little nervous going in but I shouldn‘t have been. The world was so unique and the characters were so vivid. The romance was adorable and I wanted even more from it. Plot was this books downfall, particularly towards the end but overall it was a fun read that stood out from other ya fantasies 4.5⭐️

Rereading this series and I‘ve missed these characters 🥰 I‘m ready for the spooky season 👻👻👻

My (late af) August wrap up! I had SUCH an amazing reading month and I feel like I‘ve broken a reading slump i didn‘t realise I was in 🥳

I have a long standing obsession for all things geek mythology and this did everything and more to satisfy that part of me. Madeline Miller‘s writing is so beautiful but also so easy to read. I honestly will read everything she writes

Happy Pride Month everybody!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

This book took me way to long to read!! I really enjoyed reading it though I will admit the pacing was off at times. Also wish there was more Nikolai - which is a weird thing to say about the protagonist! 3.5 ⭐️

My (late) jan wrap up 😊😊😊 had such a great reading month! Have you read any of these??

This was so wildly different from what I expected it to be but it was incredibly easy to read. I am still not sure what I read but I feel like it and the characters are going to stick with me for a bit. Also I can‘t remember the last book I read set in Australia and that was a lot of fun

I‘ll be honest I am 100% reading this series for the romance and on that front it is DELIVERING. I unashamedly flailed at all the scenes with the two together. The world building is still lacking for me and at times it seems rushed but you are never bored reading this book that‘s for sure. Bring on the next one!!!

I reread this in anticipation of Wicked King and because I didn‘t feel the hype like other people did and wanted to give it another go. I‘ve decided I don‘t really like the first half of this book, the world building is so weak and not a lot happens. However the second half and especially the last quarter is excellent. I love the protagonists need for power- something usually reserved for villains. And the angsty slow burn romance is everything

Second book of 2019! Perfect for a summer day by the pool #aussielife

Starting this today and I‘m so excited, heard such good things

I haven‘t read too many books this year but even if I had read a thousand I still think this book would be towards the top end of the list. So enchanting and vivid. I went on such an emotional rollercoaster throughout this book. Highly recommend!! 5/5🌟

Went book shopping for the first time in months so I went a little crazy 🙈

Brandon Sanderson did not disappoint! The world is so well developed and I loved every single character. Their voices were all unique and I was excited for each POV. It also explores themes like religion, poverty and immigration with interesting commentary. 5 ⭐️

While this book was a major page turner and I am a sucker for drama I personally struggled with the amount of girl/girl hatred and jealousy. I understand that it is clearly a major part of the competitiveness of ballet but it was not always fun to read. Still love the complex and (very) flawed characters.

I can just stare at my Harry Potter shelf for days 😍⚡️

My December TBR. I didn‘t read a single book in November so i hope i can get back into gear and finish this year strong 💪

I read 12 books this month and had a lot of fun with all of them 😊 (not pictured: Mara Dyer trilogy, Wink Poppy Midnight and The Enchantment of Ravens)

This was the cutest novella!! Mik and Zuzana were my favourite part of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy and this encompasses everything I loved about them. The illustrations are a beautiful addition and flesh out the story so well. Didn‘t expect to love this as much as I did.

Wow this was incredible. I could not put this down and read it all in one sitting. I loved the characters and their dynamics and relationships. The weaving of Shakespeare throughout which I thought would be annoying and pretentious was surprisingly brilliant.

I loved this!! I am so sad to say goodbye to these characters who were a breath of fresh air in YA. This series has much darker themes than his others which is why I think this one is my fav. I do think it did feel a little anti climatic at the end and I wish I had felt the stakes a bit more. 4.5⭐️

I heard such mixed things about this so I wasn‘t sure if I would like it but i was pleasantly surprised. It was creepy and mysterious with some gorgeous writing. Perfect Halloween read 🎃🎃🎃

Some very exciting #bookmail just arrived!! I‘m so keen to get into these 😄😄😄😄

This was a fun one. The interpretation of fae was creepy and quite traditional compared to the powerful flawless models in Sarah J Maas‘ books. The romance felt forced for most of the book and there was a lot of telling rather than showing. I still had a great time and it was refreshing to read a stand-alone YA fantasy.

Super sweet with a great lesbian romance. The set design parts were fun and so interesting. I also loved how passionate all the characters were. I did think this book dragged a bit at times though.

This series continues to be completely addictive. Easton was my favourite character from the original trilogy so I had a lot of much fun reading from his perspective in this one. I need the last book ASAP after that cliff hanger though!!!

My September #wrapup I read 10 books, the ones pictured here as well as Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas and One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake. Read some great ones this month and found a new fav in Godsgrave 🙌

I wasn‘t that thrilled with this one. There were a million characters and I didn‘t connect with any of them really. The romances felt a bit forced and it didn‘t quite get as “dark” as I wanted it to. However it was super easy to read and it really picked up in the last act so I think a so-so sums it up perfectly

I love the types of podcasts that this book is based off like Serial and so when I heard about this book I HAD to pick it up. It did not disappoint. The ending was satisfying and the format kept me intrigued the whole time! I wish I could have listened to this on audio book as it would have been perfect that way!

This was everything I adore and more in a YA contemporary. It is about this super close friendship group and how the MC is basically in love with all of them. It is so adorable and has the most gorgeous writing. Highly recommend if you like the dynamics in the Raven Cycle.

Holy crap! Finished this book minutes ago and I am shook. That was incredible from start to finish. Especially in finish. The world building in this series continues to be a work of art. Also A+ bisexual main character who is the definition of badass

I just finished my reread of this in preparation of Godsgrave and I liked this even more the second time! I forgot how funny this is as well as how badass Mia is. On my way now to buy Godsgrave, cannot wait!!

Some colourful contemporaries as the weather warms up down here in Australia 🌼🌸🌼🌸
