Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

Dystopian romance just does something to me. So when I received the ebook ARC of Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe, I was screaminggg with excitement.

I know I’m definitely in the minority here, but this ended up being a ⭐⭐⭐ read for me.

Have I been spoiled by the absolute feral yearning of other dystopian romances? Probably.

Will I still read the next one? Absolutely.

Thank you @netgalley and @scarlettpress.us !

A decaying estate with a library full of secrets (both literal and figurative) all wrapped in a Gothic atmosphere… The Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer sounded like it was written for me. Like my favorite book, Rebecca (which was mentioned in this story!!)

Thank you so much for the ALC @netgalley
