waiting for a package and cozy reading times 🌞📚 | reading vlog #9

i'm gonna be honest i'm having a blast i'm having a blast being in this world for such a long time and just taking my time reading this not rushing anything just being in this world for as long as possible.

five years ago i went on holiday to norway and that's where i read a darker shade of magic i remember the day before we left i was like i have to buy a book that i can read on holiday and it has to be a darker shade of magic because i had this sudden urge to read that book.

a little while later i bought a gathering of shadows during my first booktube meetup so that has a very special place in my heart and exactly a year after reading the first book in the series i read the sequel on summer holiday in italy.

i'm currently listening to the audiobook of a bad feminist by roxane gay which is a collection of essays by roxane gay about feminism but so far from what i've had it just expands feminism it's about all sorts of societal prejudices and minority groups it's interesting so far there was this whole chapter about competitive scrabble.

we have circus miranda's never heard anyone else talking about this but this is like a cute middle grade about a magical circus.

cruel beauty is a beauty and the beast retelling and it's my favorite beauty and a beast retelling it's an enemies-to-lover's romantic fantasy it's another one of those books that other people tend to not really like but i actually really liked it.

i just finished the ballad of songbirds and snakes wow this was a ride because for the longest time i felt like i wasn't really enjoying it but at the end everything just kind of fell into place for me and i do think i can say that i really enjoyed this book especially all the discussion on human nature and things like that.

i started re-reading vicious by v schwab aka my favorite book of all time. i never reread books like ever so i'm kind of excited about this one and i'm starting to tab it.
