Typically, I only read fantasy/sci-fi, so Goth Girl, Queen of the Universe came as quite the shock to me. When I saw the description of this novel from TBR & Beyond, it called out to the goth girl I always wanted to be and the nerdy girl that I am. https://t.co/rBdBckq5mZ

@hopeworldluna Babe, I’m never on this app so I just saw this 🙊
I’m literally so tired of seeing bullies being regarded as “the good guy” in popular media

In this second entry in my "Bookish Rants" series, I address the ongoing debate about Severus Snape's role as a "hero." My views on this subject may be controversial to some readers, but I ask that my readership approaches this post with open minds. https://t.co/gBnTvG76dD

While the first volume in a manga series tends to only give a taste of what is to come for the series, Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost Volume 1 enchanted me from the first page. https://t.co/hALrZA6t3K

Perfect for fantasy fans who do not enjoy the Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo "will they, won't they" algorithm, Elise Kova's self-published novel "A Dance with the Fae Prince" will delight all fans of a good enemies to lovers romance. https://t.co/ZDoUDzvDCU

The relationships and how they develop was a delightful change in the monotony that often comes with the YA/NA genre. While the authors writing style was not my favorite, the beginning of the novel drew me in completely. https://t.co/NB9BMoFotI

Consumed by Maniscalco's creativity and storytelling, I stayed up late flipping the (electronic) pages until I reached the end. Question your own preconceptions in this fantasy-turned mystery novel that will leave you wanting so much more. https://t.co/VW0jgo4G1I

Despite being plagued by a 2020 book slump, I read From Blood and Ash in only two days. This book is one of my favorite reads for this year and I eagerly await to receive my copy of the next book in the series. https://t.co/7zwPog0fYn

Seeing everyone complain about the Songbird movie when I know that romance novel Kissing the Coronavirus came out this year 😷 like at least the movie is showing that the virus is dangerous while this book literally has a woman have sex with it
