So, uhm... Better late than never, right? 👀

I don't really follow Booksta trends but this was fun! It was hard to limit it to just 10 books since my TBR is an evergrowing beast whose hunger can't be stilled. My actual list is SO much longer.

💚 Thank you @teethandtomes for tagging me!

I'm tagging some friends who I believe haven't done this trend yet (sorry if I missed it). Please show me your TBR 🫣

September, you were a month! I posted my wrapped on time this month cause I made it three days ago and let it sit in my drafts, lmao.

Is anyone else watching lanterns? I’m foaming at the mouth for the finale this Sunday.

I‘ve seen this trend all over Instagram and wanted to give it a try as well. Many of these I have talked about to no end but some I have yet had the chance to mention👀 Also, yes, Besieger is on here twice but you will have to wring that book out of my cold dead hands before I stop talking about it

Absolutely adored this idea by @aeb_reads, but couldn’t commit to every DnD character I had hahah. So instead, we’re rocking with my current and only DnD character from the Curse of Strahd game me and my vet school homies play once every 2-3 business months.

Cael is not the smartest character I’ve ever run, but he is easily the strongest (thanks to dumb luck and well planned leveling).

Eden 2: My favourite quotes so far 🦌🌲

Eden 2 is well and truly underway and I can’t wait to share with you the second instalment of my debut horror novel! I promise this book will be gorier, scarier and more heartbreaking than the first story, NO ONE is safe 🙂‍↕️🖤

How many points did you get?
I saw @prathikshareads do something like this a while back and was inspired to make my own version of it!

If Eden was a…👀👀

My debut dystopian horror novel Eden is definitely not for the faint hearted. If you’re looking for a spooky story that will not only keep you up at night, but also completely break your heart, Eden is perfect for this fall 🌲🦌

Indie horror shorts to read for Spooky Season🍂🎃
.
.
I love short stories, reading them and writing them. They are perfect as a palate cleanser, but when crafted masterfully, they will stay with me as well as a good novel.

And I can vouch for all of these, because I devoured them one by one....

Also, there is an announcement at the end 😏😏
