Let me show you just how crazy my vacation physical TBR is… and I only chose 7 of these 😜 (+ my e-reader, obviously!)

Please send help because I’m taking all these bricks with me 😂📚 And tbh, we all know I won’t even be able to read the whole time.

But I have an overflowing TBR and FOMO, so clearly I need all these options… and why not try to tackle them while I’m on vacation? 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

🇩🇪 only
📚 Recently finished reading 📚
.
Ich habe diese Reihe damals angefangen, als sie veröffentlicht wurde und habe sie geliebt 😍 So viel, dass ich Band 3 überhaupt erst nicht lesen wollte, da ich mit Ruby und James einfach nicht abschließen wollte. 😭
.
Save Us wollte ich genauso lieben wie seine beiden Vorgänger, leider war das nicht der Fall. Das Buch hat mir trotz allem gut gefallen, dennoch gab es für mich einfach viel zu viele Längen. Schlussendlich denke ich, dass zwei Bände komplett gereicht hätten, da nicht mehr viel neues in “Save Us” passiert ist. Lydia und ihre Tante Ophelia haben mir in diesem Band am besten gefallen und ich finde es ehrlich gesagt etwas schade, dass Lydia keine eigene Geschichte bzw. kein eigenes Buch bekommen hat. Da gibt es sicherlich noch etwas Potenzial 😁
.
Monas Schreibstil hat mir wie immer gefallen und ich werde auch weiterhin ihre restlichen Werke lesen.

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review ‼️

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review
‼️ A review copy of this book has been sent to me in exchange for an honest review.
.
📖 SYNOPSIS:
One summer can change everything.
Marnie Stevens has her eyes set on becoming a museum curator. She is a finalist for a new promotion and is one step closer to achieving that dream, until an unexpected twist of fate lands her on the picturesque island of Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. To prove she is the top candidate for the promotion, she must plan and launch an exhibit themed around Jaws, a film woven into the island’s history and culture. With a deadline looming to unveil her exhibit, Marnie has no time to be seduced by a beautiful island, mouthwatering pumpkin spice lattes, or the handsome contractor tasked with building her exhibit sets and bringing her vision to life.
Caleb Hansen has lived his entire life on Martha’s Vineyard, following the predetermined path of working for his family’s contracting company while navigating a complicated relationship with his father. He agrees to do one more job. Then he’s done for good. But when he’s tasked as the lead contractor on the new Jaws exhibit with the island’s historical society, he meets Marnie, and everything changes. While working together, their relationship blooms into something more, and he finds his creative spark reignited. Marnie encourages him to pursue his own dreams, while Caleb tempts her to bend her rule of no workplace romances.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to resist Caleb’s charm, and Marnie finds herself blurring the professional boundaries she’s put in place while trying to keep the exhibit on track. With summer quickly coming to an end, Marnie starts to question what she’s wanted all along after discovering just how sweet it can be to live on island time.
.
💭 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a great summer read. Caleb and Marnie have really good chemistry and I was rooting so much for a happy ending because how can you not? They were so cute together! I Getting both of their perspectives through the dual POV made the whole story feel so much deeper and sweeter.
If you want a beach read then give “On Island Time” a try! 🥰

📚 e-ARC review 📚
.
💭 Bloodstone is a story full of archaeology, hidden societies, and treasure hunts, where our FMC is being hunted by Nazis. It’s also a historical romance/fantasy fiction novel.
.
Mel, our FMC, is suddenly thrown into a dangerous hunt involving dark ancient magic, fascists, and secrets connected to her past.
.
I absolutely loved the setting and the action scenes. I also liked that the romance was a true slow burn and didn’t become the sole focus of the book.
.
The only part I didn’t enjoy as much was the pacing of the story itself. Personally, I found it a bit slow at times, but that’s just my own perspective.
.
What to expect:
📿Ancient magic amulet
🔮Hot-headed archaeologist fmc
📿 Brooding love interest
🔮Slow-burn romantic sub-plot
📿 Chaotic good trio
🔮Banter
📿 Hidden society
🔮Punching faşcists
📿 Tattoo magic

📚All time favorite Duologies📚
.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Monsters of Verity Duology recently and just had to share these with you. I’ve read the Duology back in the day when the books first came out and I am still not over what happened. 😭 Why did you do this to me V.E Schwab? 😭😅
.
But on a more serious note: READ THIS DUOLOGY! Your heart will probably break but it is about monsters and their hunters so what else do you need to be happy? Definitely no heart and soul🤣 What are you waiting for? Go read it! and believe me you won’t be disappointed.
.
📖 Books featured:
- This Savage Song
- Our Dark Duet
by @veschwab @torbooks
.
💭 What’s this book about?
Dark Urban Fantasy about a divided city where you can find real monsters. Kate and August, our main protagonists couldn’t be any more different as one has to hunt the other and the monster amongst them wants nothing more than to become human or at least feel like it.
.
❔This duology came out a few years ago and I still remember everything that happened which actually says a lot about my reading experience 🤣 What about you have you read these and what js one of your favourite Duology ?

Hello, Bookstagram 🥰 how are we doing today?
.
I finished “This Book Kills” by Ravena Guron yesterday, and it’s been a thrilling journey.
.
This story follows Jess, a scholarship student at a prestigious school. A mysterious murder has happened on the school grounds, and unfortunately for Jess, she wrote a murder story before the student’s death, and everything she wrote down has happened to the murdered student. Now she becomes the murderer's target, will she manage to find the real killer before something terrible happens again?
.
I have to say that even though I managed to deduce the real killer early enough, the suspense stayed until the epilogue, and I still found myself engrossed by the storytelling. I enjoyed Guron’s writing style, and this will not be my last book from this author. If you like YA mystery with twists and turns, you must try “This Book Kills”. It’s worth it! 🥰
