Ohhh soft main characters will always have a special place in my heart and i will defend them with my life (Scarlett, Evangeline, Alizeh, Juliette and Ophelia)🀺🀺🀺🀺

Also, what do you meaning they're boring and sue marys. And wdym lately i keep seeing this praise for the snappy fmc's who externalize their trauma because they're more realistic and complex", and it just frustrates me sooo much. Just say you don't understand how different personalities and coping mechanisms work, because to me these soft fmc's are the MOST realistic, relatable and badass 😭

And the strenght in staying kind when the worlds is cruel to you is SOO underrated and underappriciated. Hahah as you can see I could rant about this for days

Literally just had the most peaceful fall day after an uni lecture.

I really don't value living in the moment enough. I've always been an overthinker, and lately with so many changes in my life it's gotten way worse. But then I experience a moment like this today, where i just look around me, feel the feest fall breeze on my skin and just live in the moment, and i actually actually peaceful for once. 

And it just made me realize i need to just sit and be in nature way more often. I always either think of the past or worry for the future, but i never just take a moment to experience the now. And need to make that a more regular part of my life, because that moment where you dont think but just feel, even when reading a book or journaling, it's so important for your mind, body and soul.

So I really hope to implement more of these moments in my lifeπŸ‚βœ¨οΈπŸ«

I'm literally obsessed with these fanarts, and i can't WAIT to read these HDJSJS😭🫑

Also, is this also kind of my TBR of shame? Yes... Because wdym i haven't read Iron Flame or OUABH. Even if i KNOW they'll go onto my God Tier list. I really need to start reading these booksπŸ™ˆπŸ’—

.nd my best friend has been telling me I'll be obsessed with Iron Flame, so i NEED to read that especially with Threshing Day having just come outt🀭. My obsession 

Books:
β˜† Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros 
 ~ 

β˜† Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
 ~ Like, I knoww Evangeline is so meπŸ’—, and i KNOW I'll be obsessed with Evajacks , but I have been stuck ever since i couldn't get trough Legendary because of a reading slump and I missed Scarlett and Tella wasn't really my fav *i know I'm sorry everyone. Somebody tell me its worth it to read Legendary and Finale haha)

β˜† Zodiac Academy by Susanne Valenti & Caroline Peckham
 ~ Honestly my first goal is getting all these books, because the amount of books this series has and is connected to, I'm gonna be broke by the end of it. And it's gonna be so worth it, i just know it, I'm so ready for bluelance 

β˜† To Bleed a Crystal Bloom
 ~ Rapunzel retelling is all that was needed to be said, because that's literally my favorite Disney princess. So I cannot wait to read this🀭

β˜† Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig 
 ~ This wasn't out when I read the first book, so I never picked it up, but fall season is here and it's the perfect tiimeeeeeπŸ‚

πŸ“–: What book can't you wait to read, I'd loooove to hear it? And which one of these have you already read? I'm in desperate need of your thoughts 🀭

OKAYY THIS WAS GOOOD

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†

β€œTo those who've had to claw their way out of the dark and still choose to be a light in this worldβ€”I'm proud of you.” 

The second I saw this dedication, i knewwww it was the read for me. 

"There were two golden rules their mother had taught them about roaming New Orleans after dark: the first was that if the dark looks at you, you never look back. The second rule was that if you did break the first, never ever make any deals with a devil. Not unless you wanted to lose your sole."

The vibes were immaculate in this book. It reminded me of the Caraval vibe, so atmospheric, gothic and eerie. And i felt it every page of the story. It's about our girl Ophelia who's a necromancer going into these creepy bloody trials to save her sister who's gone missing. AND IT FLEW TROUGH ITTT. The way i was so fully entertained. And the ROMANCEE>>> OMG, Blackwell made me constantly giggle and kick my feet. He and Ophelia are so perfect for each other, and i love them with my entire soul guys. And Ophelia has my entire heart. I am Ophelia and Ophelia is me, and i love seeing fmc's i relate to so much, it just warms my heart. 

And the plot was SOO good tooo! Like the trials were done SOOO well, i was caught by the story CONSTANTLYYY. 

I would 100% recomment this book<3

Yes, I buy entire series before I've read them🫑🀭

I mean look at how PRETTYYY these editions are!!! I literally screamed when these books arrived, and i had them in my hands!!🀭✨️

My books bestie recommended them, so i figured why not. And I am SOOOO excited to read these books, I've heard the most amazing things about these books. And there's something magical about owning these beautiful special editions IEHHH

And i mean vampires x dragons x enemies to lovers AND an academy setting, SIGN ME UPPPP!!

BOOK: On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn

πŸ“–: Have you ever bought an entire series without having read any of the books? 

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†

Synopsis:

I didn't sign up for this.

A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment.

I'm Medra Pendragonβ€”last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games.

But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like he owns me, but I'm not going down without a fight.

Bloodwing isn't just a schoolβ€”it's a battlefield. Highbloods fight for power, and if you're weak? You're dead.

Between deadly competitions, lies that could get me executed, and a dragon-shaped secret looming over my head, all I have to do is survive. Easy, right? Except I'm starting to think the real danger isn't the academyβ€”it's what I'm becoming in this twisted game of power.

And Blake? He might just be the one who pushes me over the edge.

They think they can control me. They think they can use me.

But they have no idea what they've awakened.

OMG the way these fanarts got me desperate to read the books!!! HSJSJS 

I have such a big TBR for the fall, but i I'm so excited to read then alll. I haven't been thus excited to read book in ages, and i loooove having this feeling back.

Ever since I started uni, I've put my reading life on hold. By not starting big romantasy series anymore for example. Or putting of books I was truly excited to read because it wasn't the right time. And honestly for a while I kind of lost interest in romantasy. I mean, romance books are waayy easier to read and digest when having a busy schedule. 

But the truth i miss that feeling of opening that first romantasy books and knowing you'll be obsessed for the rest of your life. I miss reading trough entire series in days/weeks. I miss being so invested in the characters, the plot and the found family. The last time I had that might've been when reading An Ember in the Ashes which was in 2024🫑πŸ₯²

However because of that there's so much in that excites me, and this is only 1% of the books i can't wait to read!! IEHH

πŸ“–: Have you read any of these? Which books are you most excited to read?

β˜† Riftborne 
β˜† Daybreak
β˜† On Wings of Blood
