Hey #booksky I'm trying to create my October TBR but I wanted to hear your favorite spooky book recs! I've never tried horror (but wouldn't be against it), & I've dabbled in thriller when I was younger. Hit me with all your favorites!

Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli! The narrator is also top tier in my opinion! She does very well at narrating the story!

I was scrolling through Libby one sleepless morning just looking for something I could listen to in the dark while I waited for my newborn to finally fall asleep.

This book quickly turned into an absolute banger. Already onto book two. 5/5 ⭐ #booksky

Finished this lil cozy fantasy back in July and kept forgetting to post.

Absolutely adorable cozy fantasy. 4.5/5 ⭐ if you're looking for a low stakes, cozy vibe, this is definitely the book to pick up. #booksky

This was a good read but I have to say, I really don't understand the ending. The whole book was difficult to understand because I'm clearly not on the same intellectual level as the author, but nonetheless, it was a great story. Will book 2 make the ending clearer? #booksky

I am in the worst writing hiatus in a long time. I miss writing. I still long to write. But every time I sit down it's just absolute agony, staring at the blank screen. I can't even come up with new ideas. 😔 #booksky #writingsky (is that the author tag? Idk I haven't joined yet lmao)

Two of my newest and coolest finds. Second edition Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien, and the book club copy (released the same time as the first edition) of Firestarter by Stephen King. Both of them for less than $20 each. Idk the actual value of them but that really feels like a steal to me.

The image shows the cover of the novel Weyward by Emilia Hart. A raven sits at the center on a branch, mushrooms and bugs are scattered on a light green backdrop.

Blood Over Bright Haven is officially finished. Book review coming soon. That was probably my first 5⭐ of the year. Y'all weren't joking about M.L. Wang.

Omg a month later and I've finally finished The Poppy War! Phew. Such a good book but a dense read for me.

Kia 🖤🥀🌕🖋️ @alifeofvalor.bsky.social · Jan 21

I am about 20% of the way through The Poppy War by RF Kuang and I just saw someone compare it to Attack on Titan. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book. And I'm still not sure now, but I'm definitely ready to cry. #booksky
