My October reads ! 📚

Hey guys ! I picked up a few books that I liked based off the synopsis here’s my thoughts

Give me more by Sara cate: well I already made a post about praise the first book in the series which I loved 100% but the second book was a little off putting for me so I dnf’d . When coming around to this book I was a little worried I didn’t know what I was in for but YALL it’s another hit I fear 😩😌 Sara cate puts her whole body in these books it’s insane 😂

Everything we never said by Sloan Harlow: now now I love me a good morally grey book but this ??? Wow I didn’t know this was one wild ride but I loved every bit of it I was glued to this book from the first page to the last 😮‍💨

Priest by sierra simone: yes yes yes yes yes yes 100000000% yes absolutely 🤭 this book made me want to go to church for all the wrong reasons and that’s all I’m gonna say 😉

Pestilence by Laura thalassa: ummmm… I liked this book don’t get me wrong I just don’t like how she changed her opinion on humanity just because she fell in love with a horsemen . He slaughtered basically all of humanity and you’re questioning why they’re trying to kill him ?? 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

Halfblood by Jennifer L. Armentrout: this was my first fantasy book ever and wow… I love ! I always was a geek when it came to Greek mythology (I swore if I was reborn I’d be Poseidon’s daughter) so this was already gonna be a hit on the nail for me and they mixed a little forbidden romance in there ????? Oh yes please 😭🥵

deity by Jennifer L armentrout:… I haven’t started it because I need to read pure… look don’t come for me my boyfriend brought me deity and I didn’t know it was a series until I read the cover 😂😂😂

A court of thrones and roses by Sarah j. Maas: another fantasy banger I like that this one was about fae because for a while now I wanted to read a fae fantasy book and it didn’t disappoint not one bit so excited to read the second book 🥰

October was full of stories that made me pause and think. The kind that linger long after the last page. I spent quiet nights reading, reflecting, and realizing how much words can shape the way I see the world around me. #booktok #bookrecommendations #booksoflemon8 #literature #Lem

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
