If you could turn your enemies into objects, would you??? Why or why not??? And what object would you use the most??? ☠️ You bet your black hearts I would use this power!!! I mean. Only when they truly deserved it, but let’s be real, some people deserve to be turned into objects. On the bright side, I wouldn’t be killing them, and I’d get some killer jewelry out of the deal. Feels win win to me! ☠️ I actually loved how Teo turned people into objects she could use. Who couldn’t use a lovely mirror instead of a murderer?! #thebrilliantdeath is such a gorgeous fantasy read, with some serious Godfather undertones and a magic system I fully want to experience! I also LOVE how the magic was used to really explore the gender fluidity of the main characters. So freaking clever and beautiful!!! Mafia, magic, love??? Don’t miss this stunning read!!! Be sure to check out @teenreadsdotcom for my review and, if you didn’t catch it, I’m posting on my blog!

If you are reading a book and find that you are not enjoying it, what do you do?

In our latest poll, we want to know what you’d do if you just can’t get into a book no matter how much you try (or, really, just wish it was better). Do you...:

1. Finish the book anyway in hopes that it will surprise you. 2. Ask for friends' opinions or read reviews to see if it gets better. 3. Skip ahead a few pages or chapters to see if it gets better. 4. Do not finish the book, but save it for another time when it might interest you more, OR 5. Do not finish the book or save it for another time.

Head over to the poll and tell us! Even if you don’t want to give your own answer, you can just the results now --- and the results from our past polls.
