The front cover of a book with a black background. On the front cover is a young Chinese girl. She has black hair tried up in the back and two strands hanging down with 2 beads on each strand and purple eyes. She is wearing an early Ming dynasty aoqun, clothing worn by servants in medieval China. The top is light green with loose sleeves and a burgundy skirt. She is holding a weaved basket with herbs.

First book of 2026!!!! To say I am obsessed with this anime is an understatement. I was do happy to get a copy of the light novel!

If you want a slow burn with medieval Chinese influence and a super smart FMC, I highly recommend this book.

The cover to Sayaka Murata’s book “Earthings” with a black background, red and white text, and a photo of a plush hedgehog toy.

First completed book for the year! Good.Fucking.God. Sayaka Murata, you crazy goddamn woman. Now I need to read something funny and or cute to cleanse my palate. 🙃

This was my #firstbookoftheyear 1/1-1/3 I'd call this a dark YA romantasy🖤. Easy to read and fun! Afro-centric world building💯 Made me want to read the sequel, but ultimately a tad forgettable 6/10

First book of the year done

Seems fitting considering the absolute BS going on in the world

A hardcover copy of The Lions of Fifth Avenus by Fiona Davis on a wooden cafe table, next to a cappuccino in a mug on a saucer. There is also a small white vase with yellow flowers.

Is there anything better than a cappuccino and a good book? #firstbookoftheyear

My first book of 2025. I have been looking forward to reading this too. It wasn’t what i was expecting which left me feeling disappointed 🙃

Book 1 of 2025

if only I had told her by Laura Nowlin ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A decent follow on, the characters were more sympathetic this time, possible helped as it was split into 3 characters views rather than just the one from book one.
