Hello, hello! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on the grid. Things are a little more free this month whilst I’m still sorting things out. I feel like I need to catch up so tell me, how are you doing and what have you been up to?

Sorry I haven’t been as active lately things hav

Sorry I haven’t been as active lately things have been hectic with us isolating and feeling a bit rubbish. Also I got Assassins Creed Valhalla which has been a welcome distraction. No reading update as I haven’t read anything.

Do you have any custom dust jackets? This was from @moonlightcrate Crow Club box. I’d love some for ACOTAR but I only have paperbacks.

Going to post in the mornings for a while I think, I’m way too tired to post in the evenings and I forget. Hope you’re all doing well! 💜

Oh I so wanted to have a happier caption today but

Oh I so wanted to have a happier caption today but if you haven’t seen my stories Adam tested positive for covid so we are isolating and just generally feeling a bit crappy and stressed. My sister did us a huge favour and grabbed some supplies and electric for us which was super kind. Early nights all around for us I think, all this stress has exhausted me let alone Adam.

We are just going to try and get plenty of rest. Hopefully I’ll be able to play some assassins creed Valhalla and get a little reading done.

Anyway we are doing okay and I’m sure we will be fine. Adam feels a bit rubbish with a headache but other than that 🤷‍♀️

To kill a kingdom is yet another book on my tbr and the mug is from Fairyloot September box. Have you had any exciting book Mail lately?

All reading is valid; especially if it makes you f

All reading is valid; especially if it makes you feel good. I love to read for escapism, to develop my imagination, to travel to new worlds created that I couldn’t possibly have thought up myself. We are so lucky that we have so many ways to read these days, often at the touch of a button. There are so many places to find new reads and social media brings it all together. We have hardbacks, paperbacks, audiobooks, e-readers and apps that allow us to carry a library in our palms.

I for one absolutely love that I can connect with other people and share a love of books without being made to feel that the way I read isn’t good enough. However you read, if it works for you, then that is amazing. I’d it’s graphic novels, or manga, or non fiction or strictly romance - I am all for your reading passions bringing a bit of pleasure and happiness to your day.

So let’s not get caught up in the numbers. Read as much or as little as you can, read in a way that is comfortable, and continue to share what you love. Elitist reading has no place here. There are no rules. Just be kind, mindful of others and speak with compassion. 💜

Do you have a OTP? I have a few and Reid and Lou are up there for me. My Fairyloot Blood & Honey box FINALLY came after such a long wait. I was one of the lucky few to order on the first sale in July but waiting was too hard so I read the ebook on publication day.

I won’t give a full review (good reads and my blog has one though) but I really enjoyed the read. I will say it’s a very different book to the first one which was that enemies to lovers romance I loved. This one is darker and deals with different things. It’s omniscient, gloomy and has a general feeling of dread seeping through. So it might not be for everyone that really loved Serpent and Dove. As I said I really loved it, it was atmospheric and dreary and there were lots of new characters to meet. It showed the witches a lot more which I loved. Anyway!

For the @emberstagcandles #emberstagphotochallenge I’m sharing a OTP duo. Reid is a breathe of fresh air cooling and minty whilst Lou is warm sticky buns and comfort. The restock goes live at 6pm and you can save with CANDYFLOSS10

Have you read Fable? Have you read any books set at sea?
I really love the Fairyloot edition to this book - especially the shimmery sparkly edges. I am a few chapters from the end now and have enjoyed it. It’s packed in so much content for a relatively short book so it’s great to know there is already a sequel!

What type of book covers do you love the most?
I love floral covers and striking fonts. I also really love colour contrast and curves and swirls.

Reading update
I finished Tempting Hades today - nice and quick read which I enjoyed
I’ve got to chapter 26 with Fable but still a bit behind with the readalong so I’m hoping to finish tomorrow and catch up with everyone’s thoughts
Also hoping to finish A Dark Harmony and The Hollow Places over the weekend. What about you?

(Unpaid Ad - Book Tour)

Q: Do you like reading about sinister surroundings and creepy places?

I am currently reading this delightfully creepy story, The Hollow Places, thank you to @titanbooks for sending me my copy. I love the strange and unusual feel of this book. This book has alternative realities, a sinister setting and shows the more you give in to your fears the stronger the hold they have on you. Read more in the blurb below:

Blurb:

Kara has moved into the Wonder Museum - an eclectic collection of taxidermy, shrunken heads, and Mystery Junk owned by her Uncle Earl. For Kara, it’s not creepy at all: she grew up with it. What’s creepy is the corridor behind one of the museum walls. There’s just no space for a corridor there – or the concrete bunker, or the strange islands beyond the bunker’s doors, or the unseen things in the willow trees. Kara has stumbled into a horrifying world, and They are watching her. Strewn among the islands are the remains of Their meals – and Their experiments. And even if she manages to make it home, she can’t stop calling Them after her…
