snagged these gorgeous hardbacks at Waterstones last month & i’m excited to dive into a tempest of tea over break. it combines my two favourite things: vampires & tea. the other vampire book pictured here is an education in malice and it was excellent! i gave it four stars for all the queer dark academia vibes (and the inclusion of the academic rivals to lovers trope!).

i found an education in malice a little predictable sometimes like it was playing it too safe and relying on the fact that there aren’t a lot of well known queer vampire girl books (or at least i haven’t read many). but the prose was decadent & much of the language they used to discuss literature/poetry was familiar to me (since my bachelor’s was in english lit). i really liked the atmosphere and the exploration of power dynamics in a problematic teacher-student relationship - except in this case, the teacher is an older female vampire who is exploiting a younger girl’s crush on her.

Spring comes quickly; overnight the plum tree blossoms, the warm air fills with bird calls

Moments combined with the magic of Jane Eyre. It's definitely a masterpiece worth reading. ☕📖

The lessons you learn on your journey towards your destination will always be more valuable than the destination itself.
