I say this and then a new book is released

2025/1/19 Edited to

... Read moreHave you ever made a vow to stop buying books only to be charmed by the latest releases? This common predicament among bibliophiles highlights the joy and addiction associated with reading. Readers often find themselves in a cycle of acquiring more books than they can read, fueled by the excitement of new titles and recommendations from friends or social media. In a world where online listings and bookish communities provide endless options, it's easy to understand why someone might claim, "I WILL NOT BUY ANY MORE BOOKS UNTIL I'VE READ ALL THE ONES I'VE GOT," only to succumb to temptation shortly after. Discovering new writers, following beloved authors, and engaging with book trends all contribute to this delightful struggle. To strike a balance, consider creating a structured TBR (To Be Read) list that includes both new releases and older titles. This way, you can monitor your reading habits while allowing yourself the pleasure of exploring fresh content. Remember, reading should remain an enjoyable experience, not a source of stress. Embrace the joy of reading while nurturing a collection that reflects your evolving tastes!

10/10 book (The Resurrectionist) released on December 24th, 2024 Fantastic book with wonderful pacing, but I will say - it isn’t for everyone lol. If you love gothic book (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.) this will be a LOVE. I will say the end is a bit wonky with the addition of Burke and Hare but

how I got free books before they were released! 📚
if you're a reader and don't have a NetGalley account, what are you even doing?! NetGalley is a platform that allows publishers and authors to offer their books to readers for free, typically before they're released! it's quick to sign up, super easy to use, and only gets better
