I love this feeling when I’m reading a book. Nothing compares! This sense of being completely immersed and lost inside the pages of the story — like you could live there endlessly, never get enough of the plot and characters and yearn to get more of the story once you’re finished. Here are the last 3 books that made me forget I was reading.

I finished The Empire of Gold and Daevabad Trilogy back in December of 2020. Since then, I have been meaning and meaning to write a review blog of the series, but it’s taken quite a while to get over the heartache the last book instilled. I can remember days later still getting emotional over the ending. So, here’s a look back at The Empire of Gold and how this book stole my heart, took my breathe away, and left me reeling.

This was a super cute grumpy x sunshine, very slow burn, roommates x friends to lovers romance. The humor was fabulous. The tension palpable. I loved being back in the world of Crystal and Scott from Set On You. These characters definitely have my heart! Let’s review Amy’s latest story, Exes and O’s.

What a memorable tale of the stars, harrowing exploration and adventure, romance, friendship, and breathtaking mystery. I was enraptured from the very beginning! Let’s review Shea Ernshaw’s latest novel, A Wilderness of Stars.

Resting Witch Face by Juliette Cross, book 5 in the Stay A Spell series, is the story of Jules, the eldest of the Savoie sisters, Enforcer of New Orleans, and siphon witch with telekenetic powers, and Ruben, NOLA's Vampire Overlord— FINALLY! Check out my full review here!

This story just felt magical. Their was a whimsical and quaint feel to Other Birds that kept me turning page after page. And it completely snuck up on me! Check out my latest book review of Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen.

This book was just splendidly splendid. Love on the Brain is a snarky, snort-laugh and laugh-out-loud funny enemies to lovers, slowburn romantic comedy that just warmed my entire heart. Check out my latest book review of Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood.

Happy release day to Sarah A. Parker and To Snap A Silver Stem, book 2 in the Crystal Bloom series! This book utterly gutted me and I’m still dazed from the impact. Moving prose, vivid imagery, overflowing feeling and gut-wrenching emotion. This book is all consuming and soul shattering. Check out my latest book review of To Snap A Silver Stem by Sarah A. Parker.

I love this story and world SO much. I lost time while reading. The characters. The banter. The exciting action and adventure.

This book is beautiful and heartbreaking, powerful and moving. It speaks volumes. It will hurt. And it will definitely leave its mark. It certainly has on me. Check out my latest book review of All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir.

What a great start to this new Persian-inspired fantasy series! There’s Jinn, warring kingdoms, a forbidden love story, royalty in hiding, and prophesies, oh my. So much goodness, and of course, Tahereh’s signature focus on mental health awareness. Let’s review This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi!

Check out K.A. Tucker’s latest book in the Wild Series (The Simple Wild). This story is about second chances and healing - moving on and finding peace. It does speak to some unimaginable tragedies. There’s grief and emotional trauma, but there’s also closure, growth, and healing. Ultimately, this is Marie’s love story and she’s well overdue for it! Let’s review Running Wild by K.A. Tucker

Well, this was just amazing and an absolute delight! Filled with snark and so many feels and emotions and all the complications that come with just being a human. I LOVED IT. It is not your average rom-com and I'm so happy it’s being adapted for screen! So, let’s review!! Bad Luck Bridesmaid by Alison Rose Greenburg is coming to bookstores in January 2022.

The way her stories unfold are just flawless and utterly gripping. And her latest book, A History of Wild Places, is no exception. Let’s review!!

October was one of my favorite reading months! Not only because I got to read some of my backlist books with all the spooky, autumn feels, but because I really felt like I was in my element this month - between my creative work, life in general, and the books I read.

So, without further ado, here are all the books I read in October 2021 and a little life update.

WOW. That’s all I have to say. I just loved this story! Parting The Veil by Paulette Kennedy is a twisty gothic mystery set in the late 1800s in England.
