The oldest stories said Mariposa began with a song, and like all songs, it would end with silence.

I am once again begging for a book about Christopher and the Skeleton Girl 🙏🥹

“But where do we find a monster?” asked Moon. “I’ve been here my whole life, and I’ve never seen one. Only different kinds of people. No monsters.”

Honestly, this story didn't really do much for me, but I do still appreciate that it exists.

“The Moors spin on stories, and this is a classic one: the formerly dead maiden and the mad scientist’s beautiful daughter.”

A completely unnecessary short story but it was cool to see a bit of Dr Bleak's pov in there I guess 🤷‍♀️

I'm not quite sure what I think of this one yet. I enjoyed this one for what it was but the cover really made me think I was going to get more dinosaurs than I actually did. I'm really glad we got this extra piece to Antsy's story since I definitely needed more closure. But, selfishly I really wish that SM would have saved the dinosaur world for its own book since I really loved the time we did get to spend in that world.

Not at all what I was expecting and the first few chapters were so scary and hard to read, but this really was a fantastic read! Shocking absolutely no one, this is a new favourite of mine!

This was incredibly disturbing, and it was so so good! Seanan McGuire, you genius, this was another absolute banger!

I think this is the most excited I've been for a Wayward Children novel so far and just LOOK at that cover! 👀👀

what not to do when a girl tells you not to kiss her: kiss her

I've been putting this off for months because I really had convinced myself I was going to love this book with my whole soul so imagine my shock when my underwhelmed ass starts literally yawning.

Taylor Swift announced The Tortured Poets Department yesterday so I figured this was the perfect time to pick this up! Honestly, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would but it was still missing something for me... The ending felt too rushed and I just never felt connected to Riley and Max as a couple, to the point where I literally had to go and look up their names because apparently, I've been calling them the wrong names this whole time?? 🤦‍♀️ I will absolutely read more from these authors, I'll just try to steer clear of narratives with famous characters since I don't seem to enjoy those.

The Unmaking of June Farrow has almost all of the elements that I love and yet... I'm feeling so underwhelmed and just meh about it. The ✨ vibes ✨ were there and it felt so close to almost perfect so many times and then almost immediately I would lose all interest. I wanted to love this so so much but it just never got there for me.
