books I own but haven’t read yet ❤️‍🔥⚔️

hey besties !!!
I don’t own a huge amount of physical books, so thankfully this list isn’t too long… but somehow I still keep buying more before reading these (lowkey putting some of these off on purpose) .

if you’ve read any of these and think I should too definitely let me know !! im thinking Daggermouth?

what I read in a week as a girl who works full time 💌🧚🏼‍♂️✨

this reading week was me just reading 1 book and abit haha.
I started one dark window and tried to read as much as I can while working a 9-4 .

Can we just talk about the last few chapters of one dark window ?? i was going THROUGH IT. 😭 but the girlies were right with this book recommendation, i thoroughly enjoyed it and it picked up for me in the second half and by the end I needed to sit with my thoughts (the horror ).

I’m so excited to read the shepherd king duology by Rachel Gillig ,i loved loved The knight and the moth , at this point everyone knows as i always rave about it any chance i get and I’ve heard such good things about this duology as well!!

God of fury-one of my fav books and i am so happy i finally have the physical copy (currently rereading it 🪷)

Dire bound - I’ve seen this book all over my page and the character art and aesthetic is really pulling me in!!

currently reading ❤️‍🔥

hey friends !!
it’s been so cold the past 2 days and to match the mood I decided to finally start the Edge of Darkness Series.

it’s been a minute since I read a dark romance , enemies to lovers and a touch her and die type of book , I am here for it and ready to dive in and put myself through the trauma (everyone’s reviews have been something ) but we love that over here 🖤😭

Q: have you read the edge of darkness series?

“I wonder which is worse.A burning forest full of challengers and dragons hunting me down …or Harlan Raker ? Definitely Harlan Raker”⭐️🗡️

AHHH THE ENDING???
if I’m being honest i think I enjoyed the last few chapters than the rest of the book ..idk the shock of what I read and Aris being a badass was IT FOR ME🫶🏼
