This was really cute. I didn’t expect to get through it as quickly as I did, but it’s just such a chill, easy read that you kind of end up flying through it without realising. I liked the characters a lot and the relationship between them felt really sweet and easy to get into. The setting was s

I’m on the fence about this one because it was really relatable and thought provoking but it was also painfully dull at times. Right from the beginning being in Maria’s head and hearing about this dysfunctional relationship with her body and being trans really resonated with me and I was like w

What a way to start off Pride Month. I’ve had my eye on this book for a few years because I’d heard so many good things about it, so I was really excited to finally pick it up. This book really spoke to me on a personal level. As someone who still just gets seen as a girl by my family no matter

Thanks to NetGalley and Titan Books for approving me for this ARC! I was really excited to get to this one after really enjoying Heather Davey’s first book a few months ago. This one didn’t quite hit the same for me, but I still had a good time with it overall. For most of the book I was really

Finally some good fucking food. I needed this after my last few reads were so disappointing. I’d heard so many good things about this book but I was still a little apprehensive going in because the main characters are children and sometimes that makes it harder for me to connect to the story, b

I went into this with ridiculously high expectations because of all the hype surrounding it and maybe that’s part of why it didn’t fully work for me. It definitely wasn’t bad and there were quite a few things I genuinely enjoyed, but overall it just didn’t end up being a favourite. The worldbuil

I was so intrigued by this book when I first heard about it so I was really excited to read it, but wow what a let down. Right from the beginning I had a feeling I wasn’t going to enjoy it purely because of the juvenile writing style, but I pushed through anyway to give it a fair shot and honestly

I heard so many good things about this book and I think I was desperately in need of a quick, easy read so I was really excited to finally pick this one up and LORD did it piss me off at first (complimentary). As the eldest child with a spoiled younger sister, I felt this one in my bones. I unde

Huge thanks to Netgalley and Landmark for approving me for this ARC! I was so intrigued by the premise and I’ve been so looking forward to reading it. Happy to report that I really enjoyed it! The writing was phenomenal. It had this really moody, atmospheric feel the entire time and there were m

I have to admit I only picked up Homegrown Magic because I got approved for the sequel ARC and felt like I should probably read this one first. Unfortunately I don’t think it was entirely my thing. The pacing was a bit weird for one. It felt like things were happening pretty quickly but somehow

I picked this up because I wanted something short and easy to round off the month, and for some reason I was expecting a super cheesy, cliché romcom that just happened to be about witches, but it turned out to be a surprisingly good balance between the two. The writing was solid and really easy

This has been one of my most anticipated reads this year after how much I absolutely adored the Letters of Enchantment duology so I’m afraid to say that my disappointment is immeasurable. I went in with such high expectations, especially with how well this book has been received, but it just did no

I think at this point I just have to accept that this series isn’t for me. I went into this book with slightly higher expectations because I’d seen a lot of people saying it was better than the Phantasma, but none of it really landed for me. I don’t mind a bit of spice when it actually adds to t

I’m a bit on the fence with this one. The whole contest concept was actually really interesting and it definitely kept me engaged enough to keep reading. I also liked the characters individually. It was really cool seeing OCD representation in Ophelia and I wasn’t sure whether or not I could trust

What on earth happened here?? The first book was so good and then it all just went so downhill. I’ve seen people say this felt like a filler book and honestly I can’t even argue with that. It just felt like nothing was really happening. The plot kind of circles the same points, and the relations

I had a really fun time with this book. It’s a solid continuation of the series, even if I don’t think I loved it quite as much as the first one. That being said, it definitely still had moments where I was giggling and kicking my feet. It’s still very Wattpad-esque, but at this point I’ve kind of

Admittedly I was a little bit sceptical going into this because the concept is just so aggressively Wattpad-coded. And to be fair, the book itself is also very Wattpad-coded. But surprisingly it completely won me over. I love the characters, I love the chemistry, I love the constant witty banter

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for this ARC! As a former film student and someone who loves a good cheesy romance, this sounded right up my street. There were definitely things I enjoyed. I liked Lucie a lot, especially her drive and ambition, and the fact that she wasn’t written as perfect

Despite feeling like the first book was just a little bit slow, I didn’t doubt that this book would be amazing and a perfect conclusion. All the build-up first book did with the war, the stakes, and especially Essiya’s relationship with her magic really paid off in this one. It does start off a

I’d been hearing nothing but good things about this book so obviously I had to pick it up and see what all the hype was about. Happy to say I get it. This was such an easy book to get invested in. The characters felt really real and layered, and the chemistry between the two leads was really wel
