THANK YOU SO MUCH 🖤

Hell Night Anthology by Nikki Winters , M. Reeds and Liley Cruz

★★★★

All three stories take place on Halloween night at a carnival, that’s all I needed to know. This anthology is DARK. Please read the trigger warnings. Ohmygodddddd I loved it so much. Each story was so different yet all seemed to fit so effortlessly together.

Raw Tendencies by Nikki Winters ★★★★★

A dark serial killer romance with blood play, knife play, dub con, and several other triggers. Ohmygodddddd this was so good!! The perfect blend of horror and romance, it seriously felt like the beginning off a horror movie and I’m so here for it.

Night Stalker by M.Reed ★★★

Triggers: Kidnapping Romance, blood play, violence.

This story is about Macie, as a young girl she moves to a new school. She hasn’t made many friends but had become friendly with one of her teachers. As a freshman she is to meet up with her boyfriend at the Halloween carnival. She has been attacked and taken by her teacher. This story was interesting but I didn’t feel s connection to the characters, but I would read more. I’m curious as to why he took her.

Purge: The Hunting Ground by Liley Cruz ★★★★

Reverse Harem, blood play, knife play, primal kink

It’s the tenth anniversary of the funhouse massacre. oh boy this story was the spiciest, and full of violence and revenge.

These are just snippets into the stories, each one will be full length books and I need them right now!! I also really loved how each story interconnected. This was such a fun horror /romance movie vibe.

So here are the three we can't wait to read:

📖 The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

📖 The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin

📖 The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

💬 Have you read any of these?

Yes ⭐️ No 🚫 Maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️

🌟 YES - a book that surprised you!
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

We read this book many years ago and it's still one I remember that had a big impact on me, beautifully written, it was a deeply powerful and intense coming of age book in a format (through letters) that we really enjoyed.
5 🌟 read for us.

🚫 No - a book that disappointed you (unpopular opinion alert!)
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

This isn't about this specific book per se but more our struggle to read and enjoy classics such as Jane Austen, I've tried a number and find the prose a challenge to engage with, yet weirdly I can enjoy a TV/Film adaptation better and have enjoyed it. So for us, I think it's the language.

🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe - a book that you think might be 5🌟
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Bookstagram made us do it! We've seen Holly's books A LOT and it sounds right up our street, and if it does live up to our expectations I'm excited to know it's a series 👐

💬 What's you "yes, no, maybe" reads❓

Thanks to the lovely @laurenemma.bookgarden who inspired this post today and we've tagged a few of you in case you wish to join in.

Oodles, Lucy & me x
P.S. swipe left to see the books and Lucy close up!
P.P.S there was a "so" in this challenge for a book that everyone loves that you might not - because I didn't have one of these on my bookshelves.

Under the Whispering Door by @tjklunebooks (#61 in 2021)

Wallace Price is dead and when he goes to attend his own funeral in full denial, a reaper takes him away to a tea shop for some healing. Hugo, the tea shop’s owner, is a ferryman, helping souls safely cross over into the afterlife, and he seeks to help Wallace as well.

“We live and we breathe. We die, and we still feel like breathing. It’s not always the big deaths either. There are little deaths, because that’s what grief is… You think I’m a prisoner here. That I’m trapped, that you’re trapped. And in a way, maybe we are. But I can’t quite call it a prison when there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

Let that quote sell you on this book. It’s exactly the same charm and powerful language you’d expect of Klune, but this book has a touch of bittersweet heartbreak.

“Children are different. Their connections to life are stronger. They live with their whole hearts because the don’t know how else to be.”

There goes my mom heart fluttering.

“There’s beauty in the chaos, if you know where to look for it.”

My favorite Klune book is still House in the Cerulean Sea, but I’m giving this one four big stars. It’s beautiful and the ending is perfect and I will admit that I teared up multiple times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to @torbooks for sending gifted physical copies to @pocketsized_pageturner , me, and 20 of our bookish friends… and then e-galleys to more of our book friends! It was a pleasure to co-host this ARC book club with you, Steph!

✨Planning my weekend reading and this beauty is at the top of my list!

Even better, @pocketsized_pageturner and I can’t wait to discuss it with our buddy read group next week! I can barely check our chat because everyone keeps commenting about how emotionally connected they are to this book and I don’t want to hit any spoilers 😭❤️

Is this one on your TBR? Have you already read it? Just in the mood to fangirl over TJ Klune (duh)? Share some thoughts (NO SPOILERS) in the comments!

Thank you, again, to @torbooks and @tjklunebooks for providing the ARCs for this very special book club pick!

“They say people live to be happy. If you actually think about what happiness is, it’s nothing much. When you get to eat ramen after feeling really, really hungry, that’s happiness.” – RM

Happy Festa Weekend ARMY!!! 💜

6/13/21 Happy 8th Anniversary to my favorite 7. I wished I knew them right when they started, but a lot of ARMY verified that you will meet BTS when you need them the most. They taught me to never give up, love myself, dream, find happiness in little things, spread love and kindness. Being an ARMY opened doors to new friendships and the journey is giving me a chance to bond and make memories with my favorite ARMY in the world, my 2 sons. Thank you BTS for this wonderful experience. Borahae! 💜

🧋What is your BTS comfort song? Mine will be Spring Day. It reminds me that I can do it and things will eventually be ok.

“Life is a like a book: some chapters are sad, some happy, and some exciting. But if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter holds.”

★ ⁣ Shine. Dream. Smile. ★
6.13.21. Today I’m celebrating these precious angels—they have taught me to embrace life, to never give up on my dreams, and to spread love and kindness always. We never know where life will lead us...sometimes the path is dark, but there’s also a lot of beauty to be discovered. To the friends I’ve made on this journey, I purple you. #8yearstoinfinitywithbts

➡️ What is one of your favorite themes in books?
For me, it’s the idea of found family. There’s just something so warm and cozy and comforting knowing that you have a group of people who love you for who you are and will always be there for you. ♡⁣
