by Susan Dennard Honestly, this wasn’t on my radar until recently. But I’m so, so glad it made it onto my TBR because I can’t wait for the sequel now! How did it make it onto my TBR without being on my radar? I decided to look into more Fall Releases [November is a reallyContinue reading “The Luminaries”

The Whispering Dark
by Kelly Andrew First of all, a big thank you to Scholastic Press for giving me my first Edelweiss e-ARC request approval! I’m so, so excited for this book, and my little kid heart is so happy that my first Edelweiss approval came from Scholastic! [Those Scholastic Book Fairs, anyone? Talk about little kid bookContinue reading “The Whispering Dark”
Spells for Forgetting
by Adrienne Young To begin, a big thank you to Random House Publishing Group for giving me an eARC! I wanted to post this a bit ago, but I found myself struggling to explain how I felt about it clearly. My thoughts seemed like a lot of, “It was [this], but not quite? Like, [that],Continue reading “Spells for Forgetting”
Babel
By R. F. Kuang This book reminds me of why dark academia is a favorite subgenre of mine. It reminds me of my love of languages, of how I think I could have been happy in that career field too, my overall love of learning, and my never-ending appetite to learn. Even though I didn’tContinue reading “Babel”
Wild is the Witch
by Rachel Griffin There’s something special about holding a physical ARC in your hands. While I didn’t get sent this lovely directly, I am still so happy I’m able to hold and read it all the same. So, thank you to Sourcebooks Fire for making this lovely ARC! Enough about my love of physical ARCsContinue reading “Wild is the Witch”
The Final Strife
by Saara El-Arifi First of all, a BIG thank you to HarperCollins UK for providing me with an eARC of this book. I’ve had my eye on this for what feels like forever, but I didn’t think I had a shot at getting an ARC. I’m so lucky! [This eARC reminded me of why IContinue reading “The Final Strife”
Little Thieves
by Margaret Owen I know this isn’t the point of this book review – or any book review, honestly – but I do have to take a second to appreciate this stunning edition that Illumicrate created. I’M OBSESSED. I love the art on the case, I love the texture of the case itself [it’s calledContinue reading “Little Thieves”
Vespertine
by Margaret Rogerson First, a big thank you to NetGalley and Margaret K. McElderry Books for the e-ARC! Now, Vespertine had me hook more or less from the beginning. Sadly, life got in the way of me quickly reading this one like I very much wanted to, but finish it I have! This book definitelyContinue reading “Vespertine”
Empire of the Vampire
by Jay Kristoff DISCLAIMER: I have done a deep dive on the recent accusations against Jay Kristoff, which is why this review is so delayed. You can find my research and opinions here. While reading this, I tried to keep my eye out for any content that might be viewed as problematic, but found none. Continue reading “Empire of the Vampire”
Ace of Spades
by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé I’ve been on a kick of Illumicrate monthly books lately, so I thought I’d give a “Debut Box” book a shot! I’ve been drawn to dark academia reads lately, and I’ve recently learned that a few books I’ve enjoyed are considered thrillers, so this being described by Illumicrate as a dark academiaContinue reading “Ace of Spades”
