    I read Shatter Me, and I had a HATRED for Adam, and now I'm reading the second one and it's 100% better than the first. I loved the writing style and Juliette wasn't my favorite but I slowly started to like her. I think the reason I didn't like the first one was because I already got spoiled who she (Juliette) ends up with in the end so I just started to get mad at the characters. The second is so far pretty good! But I do wish I hadn't been spoiled so much, I feel like I would enjoy it more. Love your videos so so much you make me so happy all the time!!💕💕

    I only read 5 in January but they were some romances that I’ve been eager and meaning to get to and they were on the chunkier side. Also read Shatter me in January. I read when I read. And while I know there’s a lot of people that can physically read 10-15+ books a month, a lot of people reach those types of numbers via audiobooks. And that’s not me shading audiobooks, but if we’re going to slip and compare ourselves then let’s at least compare apples to apples. But we’re each on our own unique reading journey so it really can never be fair to compare two journeys. ❤️

    I also read so many good books in January! Lets hope it's a theme for the rest of 2023! 💫 My favourite would have to be The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew. It gives such pretty gothic romance vibes!🥀💀💜In the beginning of the story I honestly had no idea where it was going and was worried I wouldn’t like it, but once i got into it i couldn’t stop reading. There are some beautiful scenes towards the end and I even shed a few tears. I highly recommend checking it out 😊

    I read 10 books in January! Mainly because I finished school in December & actually have the time now lol My 5 star reads were Terms and Conditions, A good girls guide to murder, regretting you, by a thread & binding 13! I’m pretty lenient with my ratings but my favs were regretting you, terms and conditions and a good girls guide to murder! I did read scarred though! I loved it except for the fact that The Lion King is one of my favorite movies of all time and I didn’t like seeing my “fav characters” as bad guys in the book so I gave it 4.25

    I recently bought King Of Wrath because i saw it was by Ana Huang, the same author who wrote the twisted series which I have yet to read but did get books Twisted Hate and Games. And honestly King Of Wrath is pretty good. But it started off boring and eventually got better but after that certain scene 😌 hit I was bored yet again, and then it picked back up but I got bored again reading it that I started spoiling it for myself 😭 but it’s good so far I got it Monday, June 12. And started then and now I’m 243 pages in, so hopefully it does get better. But the spicy scenes I will say…were giving wattpad sadly 😢
