Fairydale by Veronica Lancet

⭐️⭐️.5/5

So, this book started suuuper intriguing, the story was really gripping, I started too feel gaslighted af by the book, like “are we both going crazy fmc?”, I don’t know who to trust, everyone is weird, but I liked it a lot, I was really getting into it and enjoying the manipulation…

Then it felt like I got dragged to a completely different world, too much was happening, it didn’t felt like it belonged to the story I was reading before, chaos, confusion, drama! Then it ended. And that was it, that was the book, and I went

And all that could happen with 200 pages less, I did enjoy the ride most of the time.

Greetings, Bibliophiles!

Greetings fellow book lovers! My name is Deanna and I decided to create this page so I can share my love of books and fully immerse myself in the book reading community.

I have always loved to read. As a kid, I spent lots of time zipping through books like Wild Magic and Stephen King's The Eye of the Dragon. The time I have spent with books over the years has definitely made an impact on me as an individual. While I lost interest in reading for probably 20+ years, I have recently found my love of reading again and have no intentions of holding back!

I am a wife and mother of 2 and currently work in a hospital as a med/surg secretary. While I am not a fast reader I find that I have a lot of time on my hands throughout the day so I manage to consume quite a bit of content. I am a little OCD and have a bad habit of obsessing over the things I enjoy. You'll see as time goes on how this comes into play.

But for now, I thought my first blog should be a "getting to know you" post so you can learn a little more about me!

1) Favorite book of all time

My favorite book of all time (at present) is A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas. While I do have several other books that are on par or even rated higher, this is the one that I think back on often and still swoon over.

2) Favorite book five years ago

My favorite book from five or more years ago would probably be Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones. This book was beautifully whimsical and so very different from the movie that first piqued my interest. The content left out by the movie was some of my favorites from the gifts given to the journey undergone.

3) Favorite Duology/Trilogy/Series

My favorite series to date is probably The Boys of Chapel Crest by K G Reuss. This is a Dark Bully Asylum Romance and it captivated me. The pain the characters go through and the unification between them is heart wrenching. While I haven't yet finished this series, I have one more book that I'm holding off on until the last two books come out so I'm not trapped on a cliffhanger.

4) Last book you read

The last book I read was The Ever Queen by L J Andrews. I was initially hesitant about this series after starting the first book. The writing is a little foreign to me based solely on the accents and terminology used but the characters. But that's to be expected since it's Vikings and Pirates in the same setting.

5) Last book of poetry you read

Ummm... maybe Edgar Allen Poe's collective works? I'm not much of a poetry or classics reader. I like my fantasy and contemporary romances.

6) What book most influenced your life

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas. This book renewed my love of reading to the point of obsession. I couldn't be more grateful to her and to this book. I had been struggling with my OCD the past several years as well as using the friends I had RPd with and this book fell into my lap when I needed an outlet most.

7) Book that made you ugly cry

When Lies Unfold by R C Boldt made me sob. The ending. That’s all I will say.  

8) Book that made you laugh

Oh gosh, definitely Lights Out by Navessa Allen. I listened to this one on Audiobook and it was well worth it. Josh was so funny, I couldn't get over how goofy and adorable of a golden retriever he was.

9) Character you’d like to be for a day

Honestly, probably Wendy Darling from the Lost Girl series by T A Lawrence. While she goes through a great deal, I love the idea of being a mother to all those boys. To being the light in their darkness to give them something better to work towards. Even Hook. I just loved this series (can't hurt me with a good retelling).

10) Book so good you dreamt about it

I can't say I've dreamt about any of my books recently. And anything older than this past year I wouldn't be able to say as it's been so long. But there are several that I think about regularly:

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas

Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

The Boys of Chapel Crest series by K G Reuss

When Lies Unfold by R C Boldt

Lights Out by Navessa Allen

The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros

11) Book you DNF

Ugh, I hate thinking about this. I've DNF'd two in the past year. Thankfully they're few and far between but the one that makes me angry at myself is Ours by A K Rose. I ordered the special editions of this complete 9 book series. I adored the first book. The second book I struggled through with the characters making some really stupid decisions and withholding information just for plot purposes. But I powered through! The third book, however, those same miscommunications and stupid decisions persisted and I could not get past chapter 5. I don't know if the rest of the series is any better but I'm still fuming that I spent so much money on a series that I DNF'd by the 3rd book. I have been rethinking my habits of buying series all in one go ever since.

12) Name a book you are excited to read

I am very excited to pick up Fairydale by Veronica Lancet. I've seen snippits about this book and everyone who talks about it is raving. It's definitely on my list to pick up next weekend when I go to the book store. If they don't have it I'll pick it up online. I want to read it that badly!

"What if I asked you to shed all your inhibitions? Renounce all mores and morals until you're a blank canvas. Until mine is the only brush that can paint you to life..."
