I love #CMNascosta and while this book has her signature fascinating world building, it was lacking some of the intrigue and novelty of her other #MonsterRomance books imo 4/10 💙📚 #romantasy #adultromance #spicy #booklover #booksky #moonbloodedbreedingclinic #werewolf #monster #reading #bookrec

If you liked Shape of Water but wished it had more #queer and #latinx representation while being set in a #circus #WhentheTidesHeldtheMoon is for you! A #historical #romantasy and the novel debut for author #VanessaVidaKelley this is a story worth sharing💙📚 7/10 #booksky #booklover #reading #fantasy

When I found this at a library sale, I knew I wanted to share with my niece. I read in preparation for gifting it. It is a harrowing and inspiring tale, albeit simplified for younger audiences 6/10 #MalalaYousafzai #shepersisted #aishasaeed #middlegrade #nonfiction #booksky #reading #booklover #book

The 3rd #southernreach book, with 3 converging storylines (my favorite tells the origins of #AreaX) It is complicated and unsettling and so dense, I'm sure everytime you read it you'll pick up something new 7.5/10💙📚 #scifi #horror #acceptance #jeffvandermeer #booksky #bookreview #booklover #libby

A story of two time operatives falling in love, leaving love notes for each other in anomalies🥀 Id love to give this another chance by reading it physically. The audiobook was beautiful but hard to follow 6.5/10 💙📚 #maxgladstone #booksky #booklover #scifi #romance #amalelmohtar #TIHYLTTW #poetry

#NorthWoods is a modern classic. Spanning hundreds of years and all located in one section of New England woods, it is full of heart, humor, and ingenuity. This book is a total delight! 10/10 💙📚
