Summerween reading 🖤🎃

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Some authors don’t miss. Every time I pick up one of their books, I’m reminded why they’re an auto-buy for me. This one had me hooked from page one and somehow still exceeded my expectations. 📚❤️ #books

My Most Reread books!

Honestly just started to reread shiver, it’s my first reread of it and I kinda forgot everything that happens. I do know I never finished the series so I’m hoping to actually do that this time! Also the first ever ARC team I got to be apart of was for Adriana Mather and she’s such a lovely human.
