I can’t post more than 10 pictures, but I read 13 books this month! Finally got to the Chestnut Springs Series by Elsie Silver and it did not disappoint. I think my favorite book of the series is probably Reckless because I just loved Winter’s redemption arc❤️ what did you read in January?

🌟Divine Rivals 3/5. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book. It wasn’t a bad read but it wasn’t what I expected. Don’t get me wrong having a story about magic typewriters, gods and goddesses, war, and an enemies to lovers story sounds amazing but somehow the story really didn’t live up to
