🧙‍♀️ WITCHY BOOKS I WANT TO READ 🎃

I won’t lie, I am an autumn girl and I’m living to get my thicker duvet, jumpers and blankets out and sit and read some dark witchy books as the nights get darker!

Here are eight books that have been languishing on my TBR for the longest time. I’m not sure how many I’ll get read (or if I’ll even read one between then new releases and my current glacial reading pace) but, these are definitely cosy season appropriate and my aim is to get at least 2 read! See realistic goals!

I have tagged a few book besties to let me know what their witchy reading goals are this year 🧡

QOTD: Who is your favourite fictional witch?

three series tag 🕊️📖

thank you sm @jamrreads @readingwitherii & @_bookswithab for tagging me in this! tagged a few girlies too 🤍

three series to start 📚

all of these series are super high on my tbr and have tons of fomo over them! i’m also really eager to read lady of darkness so i can read the legacy series soon.

three series to continue 📖

fear the flames was SO fun, i’m just waiting until book 3 comes out to pick this series back up because i’ve heard there’s a cliffhanger in book 2 and i’m trying to protect my peace.

just finished the first red rising book (rtc) and i loved it! definitely plan to continue this series.

from blood & ash is a series i read about two years ago and i have forgotten SO much! i also didn’t read flesh & fire with it so i feel like i need to start over completely with the proper reading order, but i’m going to wait to do so once it’s finished.

three series to reread 💌

this one is pretty self explanatory, if you know me you know i love these series with my whole heart and more! i’m so excited to start my acotar reread soon in preparation for book 6 🤍
