I am a huge bookworm, I'm also an author but none are under this name (yet!). I often use exclamation marks... I think that sums me up pretty well!

Just finished The Ruling Class (prev. The Fixer) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It's been such a long time since I've read this kind of book and this was just so good. The characters, the mystery, the red herrings. If I had to pick, my favourite character is soo Asher, he's so dramatic and fun. #booksky

I was trying to find this old draft I made maybe a year ago on Journal but I can’t find it? Has anyone else had this problem? #booksky

I’m nearly 50% through King of Scars and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I LOVE Nikolai’s story! On the other, I’m not loving the emerging subplot within Nina’s. It seems super forced, and one of the chapters literally JUST made me cry. But I don’t know, it might be written really well. #booksky

Just finished. Can't believe I've just read it! It's been on my TBR for years but I finished it in less than an hour. Wow, it's so good! So dark and it's amazing how she killed off so many people and yet it doesn't feel at all ridiculous! I NEED to read more Agatha Christie now! Recommend! #booksky
'And then there were none' by Agatha Christie book cover (2003) - that's the version I read...

Just finished Crooked Kingdom and I have so much to say about this duology! First of all, it made me cry so much near the end, and then made me stop right when the sad bits. I'm probably not being very articulate right now but usually when a part of a book is sad, it kinda just stays - #booksky

I've got to Part Six of Crooked Kingdom and it's soooo good but for some reason, I'm putting off reading the rest. Does anyone get what I mean? Like I want to read it but I also don't... Maybe I'm just insane. #booksky

I finished Six of Crows yesterday and I'M SORRY BUT WHAT WAS THAT ENDING??? Poor Jesper (even though it was his fault) and poor Kaz. Actually, I feel sorry for everyone. I just know this is going to be my new obsession. The only problem is that I'm third in queue for Crooked Kingdom! #booksky

Just finished Demon in The Wood. I read an online version so it wasn't the graphic novel. I'm kinda considering buying it but I'm not sure yet. Ahhhhh, it just makes me so saaaad. I know that just means the author is good though. #booksky

Flora Night @floranight.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
I’m reading Six of Crows and I just love the references to Shadow and Bone! I do sometimes feel like I’m missing something - it’s probably just mystery though. Also, Leigh Bardugo’s writing and pace and everything is so different! #booksky

Just finished ‘Ruin and Rising’. Oh wow. The ending made me cry and it was so bittersweet! I both love and hate the way each time I was about to smile, something tear-jerking would happen. Ahhhh, it was so good though - and very different from other quite cliche/similar books. #booksky

Just finished ‘Siege and Storm’. Wow! Leigh Bardugo’s writing is amazing! I love the way it’s just the right pace. I’m third in queue for the next one and I do not think I can wait that long! #booksky

Finished Shadow and Bone this morning. It was so good! Unfortunately, I think what I liked best might be a spoiler… Cornwall is so peaceful - perfect place to read. I need to somehow get the next one! #booksky

I read 20% of Six of Crows, then learned you should read Shadow and Bone first. IT IS SO GOOD! It’s actually been a while since I’ve had a chance to read and this is such a nice one! I just hope it won’t be too dark… #booksky

Ugh, this really ruined my mood. A teenage girl got on the bus and her Zip card wasn’t working, and the driver just started *shouting* at her. Usually the drivers are really nice, so it was horrible to watch. She was clearly struggling not to cry and was still trying to be polite.

Had an indie bookstore say yes to stocking my debut novel! I’m soooo excited!!! (and nervous) They’re gonna do a nice display for it and everything. This feels like a big opportunity for this little author. 🙂 #Booksky

I was just about to sleep when I started thinking and began to appreciate the symbolism, etc in Hunger Games so much. I tried telling my parents but I do not think they have any idea what I'm saying lol.

I went to the library today and got out 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' by Suzanne Collins. I'm only on Chapter 6 but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't read this one. I feel like it'll be very dark and Mockingjay has already made me feel a bit... off.

Just finished the hunger games by Suzanne Collins. I have a bit to say about this but I need to dry my tears first... It was... not a bad book at all! But it was quite distressing, I suppose. It made me cry at two points but even then, not that much. The writing and characters were really good.

Finished A Curse for True Love by Stephenie Garber yesterday. It was soo good, but it was just a bit unsatisfying. There were quite a lot of plot threads, and it didn't really feel like the last book. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the series! On my way to find all the bonus content I can... #booksky

Just finished 'A ballad of never after' by Stephenie Garber. It was SO good but it left me feeling so sad and I still don't have the next book... The tragic backstories are AMAZING and I love how none of the characters are entirely evil or entirely blameless. #booksky

Just finished 'Once upon a broken heart' by Stephenie Garber and I LOVED IT! The writing is so... pretty and I loved the plot twist at the end. The characters are AmAzInG! #booksky

Just finished 'Fearful' by Lauren Roberts... It wasn't really for me. I didn't find the book very satisfactory and I didn't really like the twist. The first half was so good, but the last half felt a bit rushed. #booksky

I just finished 'Finale' by Stephanie Garber and Oh. My. Gosh. It would be such an understatement to say that I LOVED it!! The plot, the characters, the world; everything had me so entranced! I am a little confused about some things but I think that's just because of the gap between reading book 2.

Just finished 'Fearless' by Lauren Roberts. Wow, that was actually so good! I hadn't expected to finish it since I got bored near the middle. I felt like it's the kind of thing people either love or hate. There were so many plot twists and the last few chapters made me cry so much! #booksky

I just finished 'Caraval' by Stephenie Garber and... I LOVE it! I love the story and the magic of this book soo much! The romance was perfect, and I love how they didn't overdo it. The sisterly love is also so sweet. It was just such an enjoyable read and I can't wait to read the next one! #booksky

I saw this cute little book in a little library on my street. It's got a reading log, reviews and TBR inside. I wonder if this will be what gets me to finally start documenting my books! #booksky

This (kind-of) new book by Robin Stevens is so good! The mystery was great, but my favourite part was the way we saw the original characters (from the Murder Most Unladylike series) grow up. For a moment, a part of this book had me genuinely shocked (something concerning an original character)...

Apparently, you have to read the 'Caraval' series before you read 'Once Upon a Broken Heart' (both by Stephenie Garber). Oops! Now I have to wait ages til I can get them! 😔 #booksky

I finished reading 'The Owl King' by @bexhogan.bsky.social and it was sooo good. I thought I had posted about it before. The one I read was a proof copy and I just loved the little stories slipped in. And though I do think the ending was great, I have a few unanswered questions! #booksky (1/2)

Does anyone else have two characters in their WIP whose names are clearly meant for each other — but those were the names you picked three years ago and never changed? Just me? You know what, I’m just going to use the names as a metaphor for them being so perfect for each other #booksky #authorsky
