I’ve been seeing the snow glow challenge everywhere, so you know I had to try it! ❄️✨ This was way too fun and I definitely got a little carried away… cleaning up all the fake snow afterward? Not so magical 😂
Question of the day: Do you like snow globes?
I wasn’t sure what to think about this one at first. I kept seeing it everywhere and finally decided to give it a chance. And honestly? It was so much in the best way; like Fourth Wing meets Hunger Games meets dire wolves. Fast-paced, intense, and surprisingly emotional. It was so well written and genuinely fun, and I found myself rooting for her the entire time. Don’t go past this point unless you’ve read it! Spoilers ahead.
Lee?? I knew it would be something, but THIS?? I did not see coming. And Stark!! We really got the ultimate enemies-to-lovers moment where we realize just how wrong we’ve been—and somehow what actually happened was even better than anything I imagined.
“I made you mine.”
Diabolical. Perfect. I screamed.
The engagement bracelet won’t come off??? WHAT?!
“And now he won’t let me go.”
No more trials?? Of course. Naturally. I’m still recovering.
And that surprise he left her?? Oh. My. GOD.
This book was a wild, exhilarating ride—packed with so many of my favorite romantasy tropes, but still fresh, sharp, and completely addictive. And the dire wolves?? Absolutely obsessed.
I follow and love an account on instagram called _chapter35. I saw some of her festive Bookstagram Challenges and I’m going to try to do a few! I started with a Christmas tree stack—this was way harder than I thought it would be, and I really thought I loved green books! 🌲
If you see this, I challenge you!
QOTD: Real tree or fake? White lights or colored?
Brimstone Review. FINALLY! ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ This book crawled for me at first, but switching to the audiobook at 45% was life-changing. Those narrators? Heroes. They single-handedly dragged the pacing from “meh” to “oh absolutely yes.”
Is there a ton of world-building? Yep. Is the word “mates” used a lot? Also yes. But SJM does it too and I eat those books like snacks, so here we are. Stop now because some small spoilers are coming.
And then suddenly the slow burn becomes no burn at all because everything starts happening at once.
That line—“I will still be the most frightening thing prowling around in the dark”—sent me feral.
The Onyx scene?? CRUEL. UNNECESSARY. I LOVED IT.
Carrion Swift remains my Roman Empire. Kingfisher is great, but Carrion’s sarcasm and menace own me. I expected answers with a side of mystery; instead I got mystery with a side of more mystery, plus dessert mystery. Still hooked.
December is always the busiest time of year for moms, and honestly…I’ve never made a reading plan. I usually just go with the flow and squeeze in pages where I can. But this month I’m trying something new!
I want to start focusing on my physical TBR (which is currently sitting at…over 100 books 😅📚). I’ve also been taking my sweet time with Brimstone — once I finish, I’ll have a whole year to wait for the next installment, so I’m savoring every detail.
We’ll see how this little experiment turns out. I’ll check back in once December ends! 💫
Here’s to cozy reads, quiet moments, and making a tiny dent in that TBR pile. Also are we not doing hashtags anymore???
