Books I’ve bought recently

3/25 Edited to

I’ve always found new book purchases exciting because they bring fresh stories and new worlds to explore. Recently, I added some truly captivating fantasy novels to my collection, particularly works by Stephanie Garber and Carissa Broadbent, who are known for their enchanting storytelling and vibrant characters. Stephanie Garber's novels like 'The Ballad of Never After' and 'Once Upon a Broken Heart' have been on my radar because of her unique way of blending romance and fantasy. Her storytelling often draws readers into a beautifully crafted universe filled with magical intrigue and heartfelt moments. What I appreciate most is how she manages to create complex characters that you can deeply connect with, making the stories immersive and emotionally engaging. Carissa Broadbent's 'Songbird & Heart' and 'Heart Stone' also caught my attention for their rich world-building and lyrical prose. These books offer a compelling mix of myth and adventure, ideal for anyone who loves discovering new fantasy landscapes and narratives that challenge the conventional. Buying books like these is more than just growing my personal library; it’s about embracing different worlds and perspectives. Each author offers something unique — whether it's Garber's intense emotional journeys or Broadbent's mystical adventures — making these titles essential additions for fantasy enthusiasts. If you’re considering expanding your reading list, I highly recommend checking out these recent purchases. They provide a perfect escape and a chance to dive into tales filled with magic, mystery, and emotion. Happy reading!

Books I wish I bought 📚🎯

If you can’t tell, I’m obsessed with special editions! I can’t get enough sprayed edge books on my shelves. If you haven’t checked out Target’s book section recently, I highly recommend it! They always have 20-30% off their books, and have a large amount of limited editions! 📚🎯 #lemon8partner

Rating dark romance books I’ve recently read🌹

🌹Raw (Belle Aurora) I’ll be honest, I couldn’t bring myself to finish this book - the characters felt too disjointed. However, I did spoil the ending for myself, and wish more dark romance authors followed suit. 🌹 Priest (Sierra Simone) Okay, buckle up. This is the ultimate forbidden romance:
