I was so excited to get my hands on an eARC of the next installment in the Truly Devious series, Nine Liars. And maybe that was the problem, because it kind of fell flat for me. Synopsis Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn’t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London….

Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater
I had such high hopes for my October Reading, but mood reading and book hangovers had other ideas. I started strong with the next Guild Hunter book, Archangel’s Storm, Mister Impossible, and finishing up my ACOTAR re-read. A Court of Silver Flames left me in a bit of a book hangover, but a couple of…
Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater
I love The Scorpio Races and so tried to listen to Call Down the Hawk last year without knowing anything about it. I didn’t make it very far before putting it away, thinking that maybe The Scorpion Races was a one off for me and the author. Then I was introduced to The Raven Boys…
Memories, Lies, and Other Binds by Katy Foraker
Memories, Lies, and Other Binds was a great Fall read – just on the edge of spooky season. It has vampires, witches, werewolves, and a gray organization. The book follows Zoey as she comes to terms with herself, her family, and the organization she has worked for for centuries. Synopsis from Goodreads: Zoey Prescott doesn’t…
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
I have seen The Flatshare around but for some reason never thought it was for me. Thankfully my library had a different idea and included it in my library subscription service for this month. Synopsis from Goodreads: After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in…
Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
I had seen Gideon The Ninth around but just never found the drive to pick up. I’m not even entirely sure what I read – it was a wild ride! Synopsis from Goodreads: The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for…
Just My Type by Falon Ballard
I adored Lease on Love and was thrilled to get approved for the eARC of Just My Type by Falon Ballard. If you can’t tell from my pic, I stayed up way too late finishing it last night. I couldn’t put it down! From Goodreads: Lana Parker has never been single for long. After a…
Platonic: The Surprising New Science of Making–And Keeping–Friends as an Adult by Marisa G. Franco, PhD
I initially heard of this book, Platonic: The Surprising New Science of Making – and Keeping – Friends as an Adult through Laura Tremaine’s Instagram. Laura speaks a lot about friendship and as someone who wants to be a better friend and maybe even find new ones, I was immediately interested. From Goodreads: A lively,…
Year of the Reaper by Makiia Lucier
I probably would not have picked up Year of the Reaper if both the Popsugar challenge and Around the Year in 52 books challenge hadn’t had prompts for “A book by an Asian or Pacific Islander author’. I wanted to focus on Pacific Islander authors because I know that is an area of talent I…
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
I’m not sure where to start with The Dead Romantics – I loved it so much. It was heart warming, sweet, poignant, funny, and heart breaking. I laughed throughout, and cried throughout. And not just teared up, but full on crying, can’t see my puzzle enough to work on it, crying. The Dead Romantics synopsis…
