    I started waking up at 5 am to read before work (thanks for the suggestion!) and at night when my toddler goes to bed. I’ve been getting through so many more books. I read 23 this month! Summer Romance was so good!! I went and bought Annabel Monaghan‘s other books! I’m also ready for fall/cozy vibes.

    The 1st book is a real drag to be honest but the Book 2 of ACoTAR is so much better! I hope you continue with the series. And there are many spice on the succeeding books. The slow-burn trope is to die for 😍😍

    @MIZZ.BLKNRD 2 месяца назад

    I don’t know who is saying ACOTAR is spicy. They must not read romance because the spice in the first book is lightweight compared to some other stuff I’ve read. They might have a heart attack if they read something like Bride by Ali Hazelwood which has back to back spicy scenes. Now, I think the spice picks up in later books but in the first one there are barely 2 spicy scenes.

That’s def a trigger for me from a white author!……I’m currently reading a horror book by Black author Tananarive Due called The Between. I recently finished Babel by R.F. Kuang and also a cute YA novella called Vinyl Moon ( which I def recommend for middle grade & HSchool girls). It was so dope!
