This cardi!!! It should make you think of me every time you wear it 😂

Ink Blood Sister Scribe has been on my tbr for far too long now, I just need to get to it! A Study in Drowning as well 😅 I adored Babel, and damn it I need to get to Elantris too! I adored Priory, and Addie is one of those books that I loved but I won't say that it's good 😅😂

[@dustymetso]

Those fold on protectors are great, I put them on all mine. Only downside is that they scratch so easily :( great suggestions though. Keep an eye out for Angelica Lost and Found, by Russell Hoban.

Ooooooh Ink Blood Sister Scribe is now added to my TBR 😊 (love Addie LaRue… best book ever!)
Hope you’ve had a good weekend Sam ❤

[@GriffReads]

Thanks Michelle, hope you did too! 💜
Ink Blood Sister Scribe was so fun, I heard a few people talking about it when it was nominated in the Goodreads Choice Awards but I think it deserves more hype!

[@NerdyNatReads]

study in drowning ❤I'm hoping to pick up another Alix E. Harrow here soon, but I'm not sure if it'll be Witches or January.

[@GriffReads]

Fingers crossed you love your next Alix E Harrow book 🤞

[@sabihasayeed1670]

It's so strange to find two books with very polar reading experiences for me in the same list. I loved A Study in Drowning. 10/10! I hated Addie LaRue, felt overwritten for me (a lot of flashback scenes that didn't add much to what had already been established, felt repetitive). I can't even remember now how it ends. But I'm eager to try the other books in this list just the same.

[@GriffReads]

I hope you find something you enjoy on this list 😊 Addie LaRue had so much hype when it came out, I didn't love it as much as other people seemed to but the audiobook was really well narrated so that pulled me in!

[@sabihasayeed1670]

@GriffReads maybe I should listen to the audiobook some day, and see if I change my mind.
