My August reads✨

2024/9/7 Edited to

... Read moreThis August, I dived into an array of fantastic novels that left a lasting impression. One standout was 'My Roommate is a Vamp' by Jenna Levine, which skillfully blends humor and fantasy. Another captivating read was 'These Twistee Bonds' by Lexi Ryan, a tale about the complexities of relationships. Sarah Beth Durst's 'Spellshop' introduced magic in a creative way, while Stephanie Garber’s 'Finale: A Caraval Novel' was an exhilarating conclusion to a beloved series. From dark vampires in ‘Filthys Rich Vampires’ by Geneva Lee to Kristin Cashore’s beloved 'Graceling,' there's something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of fantasy, romance, or fiction, these recommendations promise to bring excitement to your reading list. Share your own August favorites in the comments and let’s keep the book conversations going!

we don't talk about Carol ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This one was a slow burn, but very well written! It was interesting to see the path the main character took to figure out all the little details. There were a lot of plot points that had very perfect endings, which made it seem a bit unrealistic. Overall I liked
