Well #TheMidnightKing from @tariqashkanani.bsky.social and @viperbooks.bsky.social was everything I expected it to be; dark, warped and shocking. A complete change of tone for my next read with the uplifting #TheWomanWhoGotHerSparkBack from Fiona Gibson and @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social

I couldn’t put down #WeLiveHereNow from @sarahpinborough.bsky.social and @orionbooks.bsky.social. I don’t recommend reading this late at night (in the best possible way). Excited to finally make a start on my next read, #TheMidnightKing from @tariqashkanani.bsky.social and @viperbooks.bsky.social
