Recently, I decided to really start digging into my tbr stacks. And I mean literal stacks of unread books, because I currently don’t own a bookshelf. 🤣
Some of these books are by well known authors who I follow on social media, and some by debut authors. I’m such a sucker for books and I know going to fall in love with each and every one of them.
I struggle with the idea of giving bad reviews, in my honest opinion, it takes a lot of guts for writers to put their work out there.
Truth is, I belong to three book box subscriptions (LitJoy, FairyLoot, and BOTM), I have an audible subscription, of course a library card, accompanied by an addiction to the books available at my favorite bookstore which is an hour and a half drive away from me. Not to mention how easy it is to simply touch the checkout button with Amazon. Thus leading to my stacks and stacks of beautiful books!
Tonight my newest love is with Severin, Laila, Enrique, Zofia, and Tristan in The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi. I’m only 100 pages in and once again I am excited to be a part of their world for this trilogy.
My only regret so far…. Not waiting until the last book is released before starting the series. It is hard for me to jump back into a series after moving onto something else. I’ll buy the book right away, but it will could rest in my tbr before I actually pick it next. I currently have two copies of ACOSFs and I haven’t started it, I’m too caught up in what’s happening in other worlds!

“The artists take the buds of the mopa mopa tree before they become leaves. The buds are put in boiling water. They become a resin that is then colored with natural pigments from plants and minerals. They are adhered to the sculptures using heat and pressure from the artist’s hands; no glue is ever used. A knife is used to carve the intricate and varied designs. The process has been preserved over 2000 years without alternations up to the present time.” - sourced from The Mask Aruba website, link below.
