Having a good time at #pokemonEUIC

Is everyone on track with their reading goals this year? I shouldn't have started with Brandon Sanderson in January because now I'm behind ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

My brain when I almost make it out of the bookshop without buying anything. #booksky

15/125 ๐Ÿ“šThe Graham Effect โœ’๏ธElle Kennedy โญ2/5 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ2/5 Too many characters and unnecessary cameos, not enough time spent on character development. The FMC had more chemistry with the MMC's best friend? Ended up skimming the last 25%. A shame because I remember enjoying the Off-Campus series ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

What are some of your favourite booktok/booktube accounts? Looking for more people to follow. ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

The House of Night series getting a movie adaptation was not in my bingo cards for 2025. What a throwback #booksky

14/125 ๐Ÿ“šDeep End โœ’๏ธAli Hazelwood โญ5/5 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ3/5 This is an Ali book through and through. You know what you're getting and it's exactly what I wanted. Possibly her best yet? Not as kinky as I expected it to be based on some reviews but that's a-okay. Couldn't put it down. Also the cover ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

13/125 ๐Ÿ“šWhen Breath Becomes Air โœ’๏ธPaul Kalanithi โญ3/5 -memoir -medicine -illness Don't mind me, just crying in my car on the commute to work. Paul seemed like an incredible man, his story both sad and hopeful. There's no happy ending to this one but that's just life sometimes. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

12/125 ๐Ÿ“šCarl's Doomsday Scenario โœ’๏ธMatt Dinniman โญ5/5 -litRPG 2nd book following Carl and Princess Donut's (mis)adventures and it's just as good as the first. This series has crack in it, istg. It's unhinged and it speaks to my soul. Godbless whoever recommended it to me. ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

11/125 ๐Ÿ“šBlack Cake โœ’๏ธCharmaine Wilkerson โญ4/5 -family issues/secrets -historical/modern day This book hit on a lot of topics - racial inequality, environment, sexuality, and many more. It was quite a lot crammed into one story but it was done well. Too many B names though! โณ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Ok, but is it weird to start a Christmas book in February? ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

10/125 ๐Ÿ“šGlorious Exploits โœ’๏ธFerdia Lennon โญ3/5 -Historical fiction -Greek mythology A tragic story about humanity and brotherhood, told with a modern Irish twist. The audio narration was fantastic. An interesting concept, but it was sold to me as a comedy and it certainly wasn't that. โณ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Thought I'd join. Here's my storygraph wrap up for January ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“šโšก๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Ferdia's irish accent in the Glorious Exploits audiobook is giving me life. Great narration #currentlyreading #booksky

9/125 ๐Ÿ“šMind Code โœ’๏ธBlake Black โญ2/5 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ3/5 -why choose Was this sequel written by the same author? A complete contrast to the 1st book. The story didn't make sense and the characters were inconsistent. I was boreeeed. Could've cut out 75% of this and tacked the remaining 25% to book 1. Sigh. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

8/125 ๐Ÿ“šSoul Code โœ’๏ธBlake Black โญ4/5 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ2/5 -why choose -slow burn -stalking This book had some crack in it, istg. Extremely slow burn and won't be for everyone, but I couldn't put it down. Hot, obsessive nerds - what more could a gal want? Is there such thing as wholesome stalking? ๐Ÿค” ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ writing pet peeves: 1. Detailed (day)dreams 2. Same scene written from a different pov but keeping all the dialogue 3. Different pov starting earlier in the timeline than the end of the previous chapter 4. Multiple characters with similar length names starting with the same letter Thoughts?

Me when I'm reading the 5th enemies-to-lovers book in a row and the enemies, in fact, become lovers. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

7/125 ๐Ÿ“šThe Other Brother โœ’๏ธTierney Page โญ2/5 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ4/5 -musician mmc -ex's brother I love Tierney's booktok account; she's got a great sense of humour and a hilarious way with words. This book was was a flop though. No chemistry, no character consistency, no drama. Needed a better editor imo ๐Ÿ˜” ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿงต

6/125 โญ3.5/5 ๐Ÿ“šOne Of Us Is Dead โœ’๏ธJeneva Rose -murder mystery -multiple povs -desperate housewives I wish the characters were a bit more fleshed out but the audiobook narration made up for it - the voice actors were fantastic, esp Olivia. That woman was in need of a swift kick in the vag. โšก๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

5/125 โญ5/5 ๐Ÿ“šDungeon Crawler Carl โœ’๏ธMatt Dinniman -litRPG -talking cat -snarky dialogue This book was a wild ride. Completely absurd, over the top, and hilarious. Teenage boy humour, but in the best possible way ("your mum" jokes will forever be funny). Great concept Highly recommend. ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™ thread
