“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.

Current situation….send help. Why did i think this was a good idea.

I really wish I had taken progress photos, but here is an update!

So back in July we decided to move, again, but this time we bought a house. We have been working on converting some of the space so that it could fit my collection. So I’m happy to share this little update with you guys.

There is one last section of flooring to be laid, The left wall needs a little more compound and then sanding and painting. We have to finish laying the trim at the bottom and put in the corner mold, and then of course the painting, but after that it will be completed!

My small library is one of the things that brings me the best solace in my anxiety/depressed moments so I can’t wait for this to be finished. I can’t believe this room used to be a sports bar.

Guys!! After years of searching I have finally found it, The yellow edition a Fangirl!

I found this cute quirky gem pretty late in the game. Once I seen there were multiple editions I was on the hunt. Finally, after almost 2 years, last week I found a yellow copy on eBay and it came today and I am so freaking happy!

Now, I have to finish my Carry On collection.

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?

Pub Date: June 11th.

So I finished this about a week ago and

Holy hell!

I don’t even know where to begin!?

I have a passion for all things dark and spooky. I’m the sicko who hates clowns but wants to watch scary clown movies. I hate/love being scared.

This book achieved that! I was completely mesmerized by this authors writing. Her descriptions were so lush it spooked the hell out of me reading certain parts.

I loved the mash up/inspiration of Faust. It’s such a compelling story and this take and twist on it made my dark heart skip a beat.

The plot is so intricate but it all comes together nicely.

I LOVED these characters. Roan and Emma both headstrong and sharp tongued. Rapley and his brooding self! Seamus, my poor sweet boy . But what happened to Jenny!? Did I completely glaze over her!?

The pacing was good. There were a few lulls but they didn’t last long. The whole atmosphere of the book is shifting. It gets progressively darker as it goes.

But that ending!? My poor shriveled heart! I can’t stand it. I desperately need a book 2.

PLEASE. TELL. ME. THERE. IS. A. BOOOK. 2!!

*a huge thank you to NOVL for the advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
