    Watching destiny just talk about her favorite books for 30 minutes is literally the cutest most wholesome thing ever. i could sit here for 2 hours listening to her go on and on about these books shes just so funny and adorable and seeing someone show genuine excitement about a book is top teir because we all know that feeling i just love it so much

    Starting from 23 and going down like des 23. Kingdom of the wicked 22. Collided by Lauren Asher 21. Flawless 20. Kiss the sky 19. Final offer 18. Birthday girl 17. The serpent and the wings of night 16. Daughter of no worlds 15. Thrive by k&b richie 14. King of wrath 13. The ballad of never after 12. Icebreaker 11. Fourth wing 10. The right move 9. Hothouse flower 8. King of greed 7. The assassin’s blade 6. A curse for true love 5. Heartless 4. Reckless 3. Crown of midnight 2. Heir of fire( I’ve only gotten this far in the series. Waiting until I get the rest for my bday or Christmas. Pretty sure my fav one will be queen of shadows) 1. Hunting Adeline * felt like an influencer just then listing stuff 😂. But ever since I read the read the cat and mouse duet, it’s been living in my head rent free for the past year and I know this duet is controversial and I understand why, it’s just an acquired taste and I ate it up.*

I haven’t read that novella bc I’m on budget and I’m getting the ashes of the star cursed king for Christmas I think. Have fun reading!

    I read the Caraval series and I am so excited to get into Once Upon A Broken Heart, that's up next! I enjoyed the storied life of AJ Fikry sooo much. That book changed my life and truly made me feel like books speak to us most when we read them at certain points in our lives. I also read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and would very much recommend that to late 80's/ 90's kids. So nostalgic. The seven Year slip is possibly my favorite romance novel I read this year.

    You should definitely give The Plated Prisoner series a try (Gild being the first book). It's a fantasy romance that I haven't seen very much of but it's good. You'll cheer on the main girl as she fights for her independence and cheer for her relationship with a very morally grey villain who is the villain to everyone but her. Dual POV as well.
