📚 My Face When I Realized I Bought All These Books

😈 Villains & Vixens Haul 😈

✨ Better late then never right? You can literally see my joy and my financial regret in these photos

I love

my special editions, signing exclusives, and my new to me authors!

✨ Also can I say I LOVE my shirt from

phases and pages! | think I'll wear it all winter long

✨ I always adore my jemlin c cards, but the badges for villains and vixens is my favorite event badge I own!

I'm sooo in love with it oo

✨ I'm excited most I think to read Nightshift by Evie James That Time I Accidently Took Over the Mafia by author Rebekah Sinclair, and Run Little Killer by Darla Day! I have some pretty special editions from CR Jane, Obsidian Descension and Twisted Fiction.

The book "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene, described as fascinating for understanding psychological attraction, with a warning that it can feel manipulative and should be read with caution.
The book "DARK psychology secrets" by Robert Dweck and Dan Proctor, highlighted as a scary but essential read for understanding manipulation, gaslighting, and control, to help identify toxic people.
Must have books to learn manipulation
I’ll be real—before reading these books, I thought manipulation was just something villains did in movies. Turns out, we’re ALL being manipulated daily, whether it’s by ads, politicians, or even our own friends (yikes) 😬 After reading these, I felt lowkey enlightened and slightly paranoid 🤯 But

I Thought I Wouldn’t Like These Books 🥺
You know that feeling when you pick up a book, read the blurb, and think, “I’m probably not going to like this very much?” But you see everyone reading it and decide to give it a try (even if it sits on your shelf for a while before you read it)… and then it ends up being your favorite book?! 😂

Books to break bad habits
You ever catch yourself doing the same bad habits over and over, even when you KNOW they’re bad? 🤦‍♀️ Scrolling for hours, procrastinating, eating junk food, staying up late—been there, done that. And every time, I’d tell myself, *“I’ll stop tomorrow.”* Spoiler: I didn’t 😅 Then I picked up these
