Where The Dark Stands Still
Dates Read: 10/15/24 - 11/10/24
“Her worry is its own ghost, haunting her through the night.” • I’m loving my current read!! It has a creepiness that I enjoy reading at this time of year plus cozy Miyazaki vibes all mixed together with folklore.
I was lucky enough to score this ARC at Yallfest last year, and I’m kicking myself for taking so long to get around to reading it. As much as I love ARCs, I’m notoriously bad about reading them in a timely manner. Maybe that’s why I’m a little boastful about my 100% feedback ratio on NetGalley 🤭 • E's Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
✨New book alert ✨
These are some of the #bookmails I read this Spring. I enjoyed each and one of them and highly recommend.
The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso – A sweeping historical fantasy about time, memory, and a mysterious library filled with books containing the memories of those who witnessed history.
Palm Meridian – A heartfelt, bittersweet story set in a Florida retirement resort for queer women. It’s a celebration of aging, friendship, and love, with a touch of humor and deep emotional moments.
Let Them Stare – A vibrant YA novel about a gender-nonconforming teen navigating small-town life, fashion dreams, and a ghostly mystery. It’s quirky, rebellious, and full of queer joy.
I Bet You’d Look Good In a Coffin – A darkly humorous thriller featuring Kitty Collins, a serial killer with a sharp wit and a mission against misogyny. If you love twisted, fast-paced crime fiction, this one’s for you.
The Book of Lost Hours – A sweeping historical fantasy about memory, time travel, and secret organizations. It’s perfect if you love intricate world-building and deep emotional stakes.
Skipshock – A genre-blending fantasy romance set in a universe where time dictates power. It’s immersive, unique, and packed with adventure and intrigue.
And now that we are officially into Summer here in 🍁, the heat is on. I am soaking as much sunlight as I can. The backyard swing is my chosen reading spot.

So I miiiight have impulse bought this gorgeous book months ago and completely forgot about it until it showed up today! It came in an incredibly velvety feeling box from @midnight.whispers.box and I'm excited to add it to my collection of special editions. Is there a special edition book you bought for your shelf?

★ What has been your most recent bookmail? Have you read it yet? I recently got @cn_crawford’s Ambrosia, the just released sequel to Frost and second book in the Frost and Nectar series! I haven’t started these yet, but I did really enjoy The Demon Queen Trials series (🥵🤤) and you all know I love spicy fae fantasy books … so I think these will be right up my alley. 😏 I’ll pop the description of the first book into the comments if you’re interested!
