📚 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.

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

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?! 😂
