alchemy of secrets by stephanie garber📽️🎞️

★★★.75

overall, i enjoyed this one! as usual, the writing and storytelling were magical, beautiful and captivating. her stories always pull me in and keep me addicted. this is definitely a page turner and can easily hook you in.

my main issues are that our fmc Holland was entirely too trusting and the book ended leaving me very confused. Holland ignored so many extremely obvious red flags in so many people, shrugged her shoulders and continued on. The book also ended with a bunch of unanswered plot points and questions. Im just overall very confused because so many things that are essential to the plot and flow of this story just never got answered and im just like.. ??

if you want to read my full review, i have my goodreads linked in my bio!!

happy saturday!!🤍🤍

what im currently reading:
☁️alchemy of secrets by stephanie garber
-im about 80-ish% into this one and i love it. hoping i can finish this one tomorrow. stephanie’s storytelling is so beautiful and addicting in this one. there hasn’t been a point where its felt slow or dragged on. it has all been page turners for me. im not sure if this is going to be a series or if its a standalone, so im curious to see how this one ends because there seem to be so many mysteries unfolding throughout. it also mentioned elizabeth taylor in the book which is why i chose this song LOL

☁️the academy by elin hilderbrand and shelby cunningham 
-Im about halfway through this one and i have mixed feelings. its your typical elin with lots of drama, but there are way too many povs where im getting confused. we are getting students, teachers, and students parents povs in this one, and it seems too much. it jumps around a lot and i get a bit confused, but i am enjoying the story. not sure what the plot is or if this is just a character study, but hopefully it gets revealed soon haha

☁️blue sisters by coco mellors
-im also about halfway through this one and im enjoying it. its very heartbreaking and frustrating at times, but i think grief is captured very well and how its shown differently through different people. as one of 4 sisters, i thought it would be fun to read a book about 4 sisters, but its actually pretty sad. i do love how the sisterhood bond is shown through and how special it is

i hope everyone has a relaxing saturday!

the life of a show girl as books (part 1)🪩🎤⭐️

THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD!!!!! My favorites are definitely CANCELLED!, the fate of ophelia, and opalite, but i LOVE THEM ALL. she killed this.

i can definitely see these book characters relating to these songs, or the book as a whole reminds me of the song! some obvious don’t add up perfectly and are more loosely related, but they make sense in my head!! if you don’t agree, don’t tell me that haha. 

🫧 which books have you related to the songs on the album?
🫧 which songs are your FAVES?
