Happy weekend, #booksta! 

Just like my return to this account, my reading has been steady this week. I finished off The Heir Apparent, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But a busy work week makes it so hard for me to focus these days. I also had my birthday, which was slightly underwhelming this year for a multitude of reasons but maybe that’s just your mid thirties for you? 🥲

Matt and I have been going to the cinema a lot lately - we saw Sense and Sensibility last night (beautiful, 5 stars) and then nipped down to watch Verity today (yay unlimited card and yay for bookish adaptations!).

I’ve picked up The Favourites by @laynefargo as my current read and I’m really enjoying it. I love an ice hockey read at the best of times but this one has a slight air of a TJR book about it which is a bonus in my eyes. 

Everyone say hi to Goose who believes his presence improves absolutely everything I do. He’s not wrong. 

❔ Have you enjoyed any bookish film or tv adaptations lately?

Happy Sunday, #booksta! 

Still reading People Watching by @authorhannahby and still loving it, just from the cosy sanctuary of the bathtub. 

And in true Sunday style… swipe for a snoozy Goose. 🐱 

❔ Have you got any Sunday plans? I’m looking forward to enjoying our mortgage and watching the football later.

Oh hi, #bookstagram 🥹🤍

I’m making a very tentative return to bookish life after life has been the biggest rollercoaster imaginable. We got married, we got a kitten, we went on honeymoon… we received a life altering diagnosis in our family that has totally rocked our worlds, my endometriosis has been rearing it’s not so glorious head and yet I’ve somehow managed to hold down a pretty stressful job too. AND I’ve slipped in a few good books along the way. 

Sadly, Bookstagram became a bit of a chore throughout the chaos and my reading also suffered but with the dark nights drawing in I’m looking forward to relaxing with a book, a cuppa and a snuggle of my 19 week old kitten Goose. Maybe my husband (weird word still) too I guess… 👀 

I’m reading The Heir Apparent by @rebeccaarmitageauthor and People Watching by @authorhannahby, enjoying both! 

❔What are you currently reading and tell me something fun you’ve done lately! I missed you all 💕

Oh hi pals 🥹✨🫶🏻

Let’s just pretend it’s not been… 5? ish? months since I did a grid post. No big ceremony of my return with a fab excuse I’m afraid, just life being busy and brilliant and also a bit crap from time to time. 

I’m currently reading Uncharmed by @lucyjanewood and I’m 20% in and loving it already. I finished Keep It In The Family by @johnmarrs.author earlier today and rated that 4 stars - a fab read! 

I’m so happy to see the return of some blue skies… it’s almost garden reading weather. Anyone else desperately excited? 

For my QOTD today please tell me how you are?! What are you currently reading? What was your last 5 star read?! I feel SO out of the booksta loop.

Lots of love 🩷

✨ Happy Hump Day #booksta! ✨

Starting my day off right with a very pumpkin inspired bath. 🛁 🎃 

Yesterday I picked up Forget Me Not by @juliesotowrites and I’m really enjoying it so far. Forget Me Not is my third read by Julie - we was a new to me author this year having read Rose in Chains and Not Another Love Song and loving both. 
I love finding a new favourite author and having a backlog to work through. 🙌🏻 

❔Have you discovered any new to you authors this year? Which book made you a fan? 

AD 
Of course I had to match my @whisporia The Pumpkin Patch candle to my bath today - it’s definitely a favourite of mine from a past autumn drop! You can use my code AMBER10 to save on the site 💕

Over a week on and I’m still thinking about Alchemised by @senlinyuwrites.

The easiest 5 star review of the year for me. 🤍

‘Someday, she promised herself, someday I am going to love him in a moment that isn’t stolen.’

Traumatic. Infuriating. Consuming.
Alchemised will have you questioning every emotion from the very first page to the last. I’ve never felt so torn between hating and loving characters so completely.

This is not a romantasy. It’s a thousand pages of brutal war, raw survival, and relentless violence - with a fragile, devastating love story woven exquisitely through the chaos. Alchemised isn’t easy to read, and it isn’t meant to be fun. It shattered my heart, left me in pieces, and will haunt me for a long time.

There are no neat, happy endings here, yet I found deep satisfaction in where the story ultimately led.

As someone who has also read Manacled, I can confidently say this deserves that final half-star from me. 
SenLinYu has built a world so politically, magically and religiously intricate that from the first chapter, you’re immersed …trapped even, in its brutality. The trials Helena and Kaine endure are unlike anything I’ve ever read. No book has made me cry this many times before.

Do I recommend Alchemised? Absolutely, but not to everyone. Read the content warnings, and approach it when you’re ready for something this heavy. Don’t be discouraged if it’s not for you, especially if you’ve been misled to expect a fantasy romance.

This book wrecked me - and it’s earned a permanent place among my favourites.

I think I’ll be thinking about Helena and Kaine and their story for a long time to come. 

❔ Which books have stayed with you over the years? 
Shout out to Addie LaRue, Spells for Forgetting and Kingdom of Ash.

Unpack a @whisporia delivery with me ✨❤️‍🔥🫶🏻

A few weeks ago I was feeling rotten and sure fire way to make me feel better is a shop around on the Whisporia site to choose some new bookish goodies.

This lovely lot arrived yesterday - instant mood boost! 

I’d not had a Blind Date With a Book for a while so wanted to try one considering they now come SO beautifully packaged! I didn’t want to tear it open. 

I was so pleased with my surprise book. I chose the fantasy option and I was matched with A Cruel Thirst by @angelamontoya_author! It looks like a bit of me so I’m keen to get around to it soon. 

❔ You’ve been set up on a blind date with a book character. Who are you hoping is sat at the table? 

Whilst I purchased the items in this video with my own money, I am a brand rep for Whisporia so am marking this as AD. You can use my code AMBER10 to save!

Happy Saturday, #booksta! 

A little What This Week from me today as it’s a dreary, rainy day so it’s perfect for cosying up in the living room and doing all my favourite inside activities.

This week I’ve been…

Reading 📖: Dire Bound by @sablesorensen, which happens to be the next pick for @samturnspages and I’s monthly Romantasy Book Club! 
I’m also in the mood to delve into the new @authorelsiesilver. 

Watching 📺: Like the rest of the world, I’m watching The Summer I Turned Pretty. I’m slightly behind everyone else though as I binged the books a couple of months ago and needed a break of the characters for a while! 

Listening to 🎧: oh my god, the @jonasbrothers. On repeat. For weeks. It’s become a problem. 

Playing 🎮: Faefarms! The cosiest game if you love farming/ tasks/ village sims! 

❔ What are your answers to these prompts? Do we have any in common? 

I hope you all enjoy your weekends. 🫶🏻

Happy Sunday #booksta! 

❔ What’s your current read, what genre is it and how would you rate it so far? 

I’m just getting stuck into Dire Bound by @sablesorensen after seeing it absolutely everywhere on my feed lately! Have you read it? 

I feel like I need a fantasy after 3 fabulous romances in a row and THEN being destroyed my Atmosphere by TJR. Gosh I sobbed. 

So I’m settling down under the blanket on the sofa with this one - I’ve heard great things.

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

My Big Fat Vampire Wedding by @jessicagadziala 

From the blurb: ‘Pandora has real problems. She still lives with her parents, she’s working a dead-end job and, oh yeah, she’s a vampire who must get married by her birthday in three months’ time or she won’t inherit the ancient family fortune.

One slight catch: she’s single.

She manages to find her perfect fake husband: her work crush, Victor, a PhD student with mountains of student debt. She can marry him, inherit, pay off his debt and divorce him. It’s a foolproof plan – well, unless Victor discovers she’s a vampire…

But the road to the altar won’t be an easy one for this vampire and human couple. Pandora’s little crush on Victor is growing, and with their big fat vampire wedding looming, will their promise of ‘till death do us part’ be fake after all?’

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t tell you how pleasantly surprised by this book I am. It was fabulous. Cosy, urban fantasy romance done to perfection in my opinion. I laughed, welled up a bit and devoured it in a day. 
I loved the female friendship in this one and the romance was done really, really well. Victor is a PEACH and such a green flag. I’m actually really looking forward to diving into some of the authors other books because her writing is fun, accessible and flows really nicely. Top marks from me! 

If you need a little bit more convincing… we have spice, a coffee shop setting, a marriage of convenience AND fake dating. Run, don’t walk to grab your copy now. I’m often wary of rating gifted reads 5 stars because it can look a little forced but this one deserves it for me. 

Thank you so much to @avonbooksuk for my review copy. My Big Fat Vampire Wedding is available now!
