Well, the 4+ star streak that I had going this month might be broken, but I am still having the best time devouring books like it’s my job 🤭

And I know finishing 9 books in a week is ridiculous, but see, the thing is that when a book is around 300pgs (which all these horror-ish books tend to be), I know I can binge it in a day so then my brain unfortunately takes it as a challenge and decides that that’s also what needs to happen and ehm… yeah, here we are 🫪

Honestly, I don’t even know why I am justifying myself, fuck that. Read whatever and however much your heart desires, no shame, have fun, live & let live, cheeeers 🫶

Anywayyy, I had some very big surprises this week, mostly in a good way ✨️

Let’s just get Wolves of War out of the way though… this is undoubtedly Gwynne’s most personal & refreshing work yet and I LOVE how his daughter’s legacy lives on through Halia, but I personally think it might work better as a love letter to his own family than as a particularly strong Slavic fantasy in its own right :')

Now, if there is one book you pick up on my recommendation, it should be Our Cut of Salt by @deenahlm It's not an easy read, but it’s a very poignant & important one (FREE Palestine!), and I think it showcases exactly why horror is such a powerful genre for exploring the tragedies of the real world, because sometimes the things that haunt us are not supernatural at all, and sometimes the real horror is what people are capable of doing to one another 🥲💔

I guess that’s actually a big theme of the week, because EDEN, Coffin Moon, The Butcher of Nazareth, Monstera, Adam, Mine, and even Carrie are all tragically human horror stories full of trauma & hurt as well, and I love them for that 🤌🖤

Luckily I had my ACOTAR re-read & Love is Blind silliness (shoutout to @kyras_reading for the wild chats) to balance out the darkness with some joy, although those things are actually also emotional rollercoasters, so there’s that 🫠

(The last of the fun one ⭐️ reviews. The others seem to be triggered meltdowns. 🤷‍♂️)
