April TBR 2024--
This next month is set to be full of rereads, hockey romances, and new to me books. It is also the month I'm starting a certification program so it will probably be a bit of a struggle to get through this month's TBR. I don't even remember the last time I've thought that about a month's TBR. I really hope I have as much fun with this TBR as I'm expecting to. I've really been in the mood for these rereads and these hockey romance so I'm excited to finally get to it.
Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken-- This is just one of a few rereads this month. Book two in the series comes out next month. I originally read this one as an ARC so I definitely need a refresher first. Tamsin Lark is a mortal with no magical talent who was never meant to break into ancient crypts or compete with sorceresses and Cunning folk for the treasures inside. But treasure hunting is the only way she could keep herself and her brother Cabell alive following her thieving foster father's disappearance. Ten years later she's looking for a ring that is supposed to save her brother from a curse. It's based in Arthurian legend.
Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo-- Another reread before a new book in the series. I remember enjoying this one slightly less than Raven's book, but I still enjoyed meeting a new character and getting their origin story. I also felt like it addressed an issue that isn't brought up a lot: male body image issues. We see it addressed a lot in fiction for girls, but there are boys who also go through this growing up. Plus it's beast boy and lots of green animals.
The Score by Elle Kennedy-- A hockey romance! I've been so in the mood for hockey romances this year. I don't know if it's because I found a few new to me authors and bought some kindle books for Christmas or what. In this one we follow Allie Hayes who is in crisis mode. Graduation is looming and she's dealing with a broken heart thanks to the end to her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just one though because even if her future is uncertain it sure as heck doesn't include Dean. It seems like he's going to pursue her after she puts him in the friend zone following their one night stand. I love it when the guy falls first or the guy is pursuing the girl so I'm looking forward to this one.
Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu-- The last of the rereads for this month. I'm so excited for the next book too. In this one we follow an international pop sensation named Winter Young who is brought into the world of spies when a major crime boss gifts his daughter a private concert with Winter for her birthday. Sydney Cossette is a member of the elite covert ops group who is forced to work alongside Winter to infiltrate the crime organization's inner circle. This was such a fun and quick read for me last year and I can't wait to go back into this world of glitz, glam, and spies.
Bad Men by Julie Mae Cohen (NetGalley)-- This one just sounded so good when I saw it on NetGalley. It's unhinged women at its finest. Saffy Huntley-Oliver is an intelligent and glamorous socialite; she also happens to be a proficient serial killer. Over the course of fifteen years, she's dispatched bad men--rapist, murderers, domestic abusers. But leading a double life has left her lonely. Dating's rough when your boyfriend might turn out to be your next victim. Saffy thinks she's finally found a truly good man in Jonathan Desrosiers, a true crime podcaster. This is a feminist thriller that asks if even a serial killer can have a happily ever after. My hopes for this one? Rich people drama and some mad women.
The Hemlock Queen by Hannah F. Whitten (New Release)-- The second book in the series is finally coming out. This series starts with Lore, who has a dark power and a hidden past, as we follow her into the intrigue of the Sainted King's royal court. The king and his priest manipulate Lore and have her spy on the prince in order to determine just who is killing the villages at the edge of the kingdom. We follow on from the events of the first book in this new one.
My Lucky #13 by Piper Rayne (Kindle)-- A hockey player who is going through a scoring draught is worried he's going to get traded before the deadline if he doesn't turn it around. Following a New Year's Eve with a woman, he has a waterfall of goals and knows he has to see her again. She wants nothing to do with him and he feels his has to change her mind. A hero falls first sounding story that I'm so looking forward to. I will say that there's a very obvious hockey error in the synopsis of this one and we all know I'm a little picky about hockey details. But I'll try to keep an open mind on this one.
Just Do This One Thing For Me by Laura Zimmerman (Library)-- I'm going to pull the synopsis straight from GoodReads since it's a Mystery/Thriller and those are hard to explain at the best of times: "'Just do this one thing for me.' Drew's mother says it more often than good morning. Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drew's seventeen years, and Drew knows that 'one thing' really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring, including taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. In fact, Drew is the closest thing to a responsible adult they've ever known. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Year's Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away--alone--from her mother's mess. Or hope the weather stays cold, keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together."

Monstrousness is a curious thing. In its barest form, its simplest definition, a monster is merely something different than you think it should be. And who gets to decide what should be, anyway?

When she thought about what might be left when all the artifice was stripped away, she came up blank. Like all the other things that made her were window dressings on an empty house.

Title: Wilderwood
Author: Hannah F. Whitten
Series or standalone: series
Publication year: 2021
Genres: fiction, fantasy, romance, retelling
Blurb: The first daughter is for the Throne; the second daughter is for the Wolf. As the only second daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose: to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he’ll return the world’s captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can’t control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can’t hurt those she loves again...but the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster; her magic is a calling, not a curse. If she doesn’t learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood - and her world - whole.

The Foxglove King by Hannah F. Whitten My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this one. It ended up being one of those books I didn't want to put down. Was it predictable? Yes in a lot of ways, but I felt like it didn't take away from the reading experience. I did end up spoiling some of it a little over half way through when I went to add the second book to a wish list lol. It wasn't a big spoil for me though. I still plan on reading the next book, though after reading that one, I'll decide if I'll read the third when it's released. I hope we get to learn more about Lore's background, what she's supposed to represent and all that in the next book. I also hope we get to learn more about Bastian's, since it was only briefly entertained near the end. I also want more Gabe in general but especially character growth. He got his world shook and I want to see the repercussions. View all my reviews

February 2024 book haul
Hello friends!! Welcome to the February 2024 book haul!! A post where I talk about all the books that I bought and received in the previous month. Ahh February… the shortest month of the year. Although this year it’s only the shortest by one day because it’s a leap year. Somehow I managed to purchase THREE TIMES the number of books I did in January though, so I more than made up for it being a…

March Wrap Up 2024--
What a month that was. Did I read more than what I was supposed to? Yes. Am I mad about it? No. My goal for the year is to stay between 52 and 104 books read which means I need to read roughly 8 books per month (technically 8.6 or something like that) at the maximum. All this basically means is that I have to stick to reading 8 books next month. I blame the fact that my library hold came in 2 weeks early and I really didn't want to get back in line for it since it took so long to come in. Let's get to what I read and what I rated what I read.
Comics/Graphic Novels-- 1. Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo--3.75 stars (original rating).
Novellas-- 1. Must Love Hockey by Sarina Bowen (Kindle)--3.75 stars.
2. The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djeli Clark (NetGalley)--4 stars.
Novels-- 1. No Coincidence by Rafat Kosik--1.75 stars.
2. The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu--3 stars.
3. The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah--3.75 stars.
4. Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson (Library)--4 stars.
5. Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes (NetGalley)--3.25 stars.
6. The Foxglove King by Hannah F. Whitten--4.25 stars (original rating).
The average star rating for the month ended up being 3.5 stars which was such a surprise given that this is the month with my worst rated book of the year so far. Not too shabby though.

You are good. He’d told her that, once. She could almost believe it.
No one was wholly one or the other. Goodness was daily choice, endless possibility, a decision at every crossroads.

✧.* People I’d like to know better *.✧
Thankies to @00queasy00 and @purplewitch156 for tag uvu <3
Last song: The Dark Half by Aesthetic Perfection "You gotta cut deep down below To where the beauty digs its hole You'll never love me and it shows For who I truly am"
Favorite Color: It changed but I love more muted colors! Like muted pastels, and anything autumn colored! Browns, reds, orange and greens aaaa <3
Currently Reading: I'm TRYING to read The Foxglove King by Hannah F. Whitten! My best friend mentioned necromancy and I was like yESS HE:LO?? YEAH??? GIVE?? But it's SO hard for me to start a new book if it isn't Harry Potter (I haven't really read books in over 10 years but I use to DEVOUR books)
Sweet/Spicy/Savory: I'm a bitch baby to spicy but I also cannot handle anything way too sweet (fudge makes me gag) so I guess fuckin savory lmaooo
Relationship Status: Very much single! Most likely forever ✧.*✧.* I've been in quite a few relationships but I just can't. I'm most likely fully lesbian but never dated a lady yet. (it's scary tbh like wtf so pretty) But if any gives me attention/interest I panic;;
Current Obsession: Still Harry Potter. Also crafting. OH I played Slime Rancher for like a week straight and only finally just kicked that obsession;;;
I'm bad at Tagging: @midjunkiejen, @semina-art, @dropsofnightshade, @monnopa, @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger aannddd... YOU
