Lightlark - Alex Aster
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Lightlark starts off slow, taking time to build is plot, but it picks up as the story unfolds. The world building is fun and I really liked the magic element. The tension builds nicely, leading to a twist filled and satisfying ending that had me staring at the wall.

Filthy Rich Fae - Geneva Lee
⭐️⭐️⭐️/3
This book was entertaining but there were a few plot holes and the ending was rushed. Cate is a good main character in the otherworld, but in the human world she is genuinely annoying. I really enjoyed the romance between Cate & Lachlan, it was fun!

The Baby Dragon Cafe - A. T. Qureshi
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This book was absolutely adorable! An easy read with cosy vibes throughout. The slow burn romance was so sweet. The cafe setting was a lot of fun, and I loved the chaotic dragons.
My only gripe was the dragons being referred to as “Draggos.”

Mistborn - Brandon Sanderson
Amazing world building!!
The Allomancy magic system is brilliant, and Sazed (the little collecting king) was my favourite character. The plot twists were so well done and had me shook. It's a dense read, but worth it!

Water Moon - Samantha Sotto Yambao
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I enjoyed this book for the most part! The world was very magical and evocative. There were some slow parts, I didn’t feel much connection to the characters and the romance wasn’t giving much. But the overall plot & premise of the book was beautiful.

This game is so cosy and fun. It has my whole heart. I don’t think I’ve found a game that will ever top the happiness I get from Stardew - in my little farmer era 🫶🏻

8. Margaret Atwood
Reading The Handmaid’s Tale found my love for reading. That book captivated me in so many ways. The themes of coercion and censorship; the overall dystopian world.
I wouldn’t have found a love for books if I didn’t study her work. She is a great author and I admire her writing

I love a good holiday! Especially if it’s sunny and warm. Catch me on the beach with my book and some ice tea (specifically lemon flavoured)🍋🌞

I love crystals! I love to collect them, to have them on my book shelf, to keep them in my bag, and to research their properties.
I love finding shops in cities that sell them!✨

3.Coffee ☕️
Whether I’m tired, need a pick me up, or just want something sweet. I love to grab a coffee. I can make coffee at home or get coffee with a friend and talk for hours. It’s just something small that makes me happy <3
