You can't see it, but all the bugs are shiny✨️. Love the added detail. Just got done with The Once and Future Witches by Alex E. Harrow, and it's a solid ⭐️3⭐️. I get what she was trying to do, but it just didn't grab me yk. It's good but not The Everlasting good lol. #booksky #magic #fiction

Lay Flat Friday - G.A. Aiken Edition A great author with a fun fantasy world. I honestly love how each fmc and mmc is unique not just in mind, but in body as well. She's a hilarious writer and also writes as Shelly Laurenston. Honestly go check her out. #LayFlatFriday #FlatLayFriday #bookcover

Currently reading this. Did you know the yellow parts on the front glow in the dark....bc I didn't until last night when I scared myself with a glance at this book on my nightstand!😱 I'm trying to get back into Empire of Silence, but truly it's starting to slog hard 😬🫣 #booksky #fantasy #romance

Pretty good omegaverse book. It's a solid ⭐4/5⭐. I think it's being republished with new covers. It's trope heavy if you've read oab books before you'll know what to expect. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. #booksky #omegaverse #romance #fantasy

Pretty solid 4⭐️, but I feel like she's running out of steam. Maybe it's bc the fmc and mmc are running everywhere with too many emergencies to put out. It's just not hitting the cozy vibes the way the other 2 did. Maybe the next book will hit the cozy vibes better. #booksky #fantasy #cozy #ocean
