#so many books
I received an early Christmas present today! 
I have seen this all over BookTok and decided I absolutely needed it based on aesthetics alone, lol. I not so subtly hinted to my husband that I desperately wanted this and it came today SOOO, being the amazing sweetheart is he decided to give it to me early.
Has anybody else read it?!

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.
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.

I feel like this quote is fitting to all of V’s books
“ 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?
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 ♥️.

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.
for every 1 book i finish off my TBR, i somehow add 5 more ???
