Let's be book besties!

My biggest red flag is that I am delusional enough My biggest red flag is that I am delusional enough to think I would be a  character like Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.

But in reality, I would be minding my own business in my garden, reading my books, and eating second breakfast.
What are you reading Wednesday? 🖤 But make it Thu What are you reading Wednesday? 🖤

But make it Thursday. 

I started Because I Killed Him by @edith.birde on a whim last week having no idea what it was about.

And I am absolutely loving it so far. 

Futuristic, 1920s, prohibition era dystopian might describe what it is so far? 

Whatever it is, it has taken over my mind right now. 

What are you reading friends?
This is the year of DNFing books that I am not enj This is the year of DNFing books that I am not enjoying. 

I have pushed through so many books out of curiosity or because I spent money on them and don't want it to be a waste. 

Borrowing from the library and using Kindle Unlimited has taken away the guilt of not finishing books. 

Some of these were probably just bad timing. 

What do you think? Should I give these a second chance?

What's a book you wish you had DNF'd?

Underrated book series recommendation. The War o Underrated book series recommendation. 

The War of Lost Hearts by Carissa Broadbent is one of my favorite series. 

One of those series I wish I could erase from my brain and read again for the first time. 

I wouldn't say this is a romantasy, but it is definitely a fantasy with romance. 

It's heartbreaking and emotionally impactful. 

And honestly, Maxantarius is one of the most underrated MMCs.

Who wouldn't want to be called "breathtakingly functional"? 

It is heavier on the politics (especially book 2), so if you don't like books like that- this may not be the series for you. 

What is a series you think is underrated?
My five star reads of 2026. So far. I never sha My five star reads of 2026.

So far. 

I never share my star ratings for books because I think they are so different for everyone that they almost become insignificant. 

But I wanted to share with you the fantasy and sci-fi books I've read this year that are basically perfect. 

Honestly, some of these were absolutely devastating. 

And no, I'm not sorry about bringing up Red Rising again.

QOTD: What are some of your five star reads? 

Red Rising by Pierce Brown 
Sword of Kaigen and Blood Over Bright Haven by ML Wang 
The Poet Empress by Shen Tao 
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
My Random Bookish Thoughts. I am fully aware tha My Random Bookish Thoughts. 

I am fully aware that these opinions are all-over the place. 

They were originally hot-takes, but quickly became whatever random opinion I felt like sharing. 

In no particular order of course. 

What is a bookish opinion of yours?
My Last, Current, and Next Read 2026 has been my My Last, Current, and Next Read

2026 has been my best reading year ever. 

Not in quantity I've only finished 13 ebooks and even listened to a few audiobooks. 

But every single book I've read has been absolutely amazing. (To be fair I've dnf'd around 5 books). 

That ML Wang book is why I subscribe to newsletters friends. I was sitting here minding my own business wondering when my new favorite author was going to have something new when- BAM! 

She just casually sends it out in her newsletter! 

And of course, if we've been friends for a while, you may know I love LJ Andrews and have been desperately waiting to go back to The Ever. I haven't read a romantasy book since January and I am loving coming back to the genre 🥰. 

What are you reading besties?

Last- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Current- The Stolen Crown by @authorljandrews 

Next- Destiny's Edge by ML Wang
