I know this is long overdue because November is already almost over 😂 but I still wanted to add my two cents 😭 PLUS I was obsessed with the duology I read last month and I wish it wasn’t over. I literally replay these books in my head, I wish I could just watch them all over again like a TV show

Finishing this before I start any October reads.
Finishing Binding 13 before I start any October reads, it’s one of those that I wanna finish so badly but the “Shannon” - “Johnny” povs being almost the same are a bit annoying. But I’m getting thru it and into it the more I read. #books #kindle #paperbackbooks #ereaders #septemberreadin

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH: This book completely surprised me! The perfect balance of story, heart, and a hint of romance. The FMC is strong, the plot is fresh, and the gargoyle stole the show. Read it for him alone. 🖤✨ ONE DARK WINDOW: Unpopular opinion maybe…mixed feelings on One Dark Window. T
