“Funny how when we start to tell a secret, we can’t stop. Something falls open in us, and the sheer momentum of letting go pushes us on.”

This the new beautiful stenciled edge edition of THE NEAR WITCH by Victoria Schwab, available at Waterstone’s! 

A day and a half later, ‘tis finally done!!

Now, I just need to furnish it. But, I’m excited and love that my private space is complete.

It’s the season of black sprayed edges!

These are two of my most anticipated reads. I’m about 90% done with GIDEON THE NINTH and I’m having some very mixed feelings. I love the writing style but the story is a bit convoluted. Full review soon!!

“Beware for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”

I feel like this quote is fitting to all of V’s books

Ok, most of you know that I am trash for Victoria Schwab.

If you didn’t know, well now you do

Recently, V revealed on Instagram, in conjunction with Juniper books, that she helped design a custom book set for The Shades of Magic series. Naturally, I smash the purchase button.

And here they are!! Behold my new Shades of Magic dust jackets in all their glory!

Side note: if you have never seen Juniper books or heard of them I highly recommend checking them out. They have a lot of beautiful custom jackets for a great many different series. Here’s a tiny sneak peek at the catalog.

“ Where love existed, death would follow, a wolf trailing after a wounded deer. Scenting blood in the air. Ayla had learned this the hard way.”

I’ve been in a little bit of a reading slump lately. I have been doing a lot of re-reading. I think because a lot of books right now or just not grabbing my attention. Or my brain is simply broken from being ridden with schoolwork. I tend to think the latter. I just got this though and I’ve been hearing so much about it and from page 1 I’m kind of spellbound. Hopefully I can finish it by this weekend!

Ok guys, vacations over, back on schedule, here’s an update!

This is the current state of my library. ‍♀️ We moved (again). We bought a house! Unfortunately the room that will be my library needs some renovations. It’s a lot of work and it’s hard for my husband and I to coordinate time to get any of the actual work done. So, in the meantime, my pictures are gonna have to take on a little bit of a different background. Which isn’t so bad because fall is right around the corner and makes for the lovely photos!

So, tell me, what are your new favorite books? What upcoming books are you looking forward to?

In the Atlantic, kids are playing at the Waterworks, and I’m finally settling in for a book!

Has anyone reads this? Is it any good?

Send me your thoughts! No spoilers though!! ♥️

So, I thought it would be fun to show you guys the progression of my Schwab collection.

This is when I first started to collect. Everything was Shades of Magic since it was the only series of hers that I had read at the time.

I branched out and started reading more of her work and become hooked. I started collecting more and more stuff.

My collection got so big, it needed its own wall…

However, I still hadn’t peaked yet.

Today, my collection is massive and has become my pride and joy. It is my addiction.

(What’s kinda funny/sad is that not all my Schwab items are in this picture!)

Here is a shot of all her books I have (minus 1, Tunnel of Bones arc).

And there is my addiction in a nutshell . I hope to collect more foreign editions of her books and of course I have preorders of her upcoming books. I’ve read all her books EXCEPT the Everyday Angel series and I hope to read it soon with my daughter ♥️.
