“Magic, at its heart, starts with sacrifice. You have to give up something to get something, and because magic is big, with all that it allows you access to, what you give up has to be big. It has to be meaningful.” . New review! An Unkindness of Magicians is an enjoyable novel and a great option for those who love magic with a dark twist. While there were a couple of things that did not necessarily work for me, I am glad I picked it up.👍 Full review is now posted, link in bio! . . . . #bookstagram #bookreview #books #anunkindnessofmagicians #igreads #bookstagramfeature #bookworm #booksandbeans #bookishfeatures #bookfeaturepage #fantasy #reading #bookrecommendation #whattoreadnext #fridayreads #bookblogger #bookish

“Later, the four remaining women could fully agree on only two things. One: No-one saw the bushland swallow up Alice Russell. And two: Alice had a mean streak so sharp it could cut you.” . I really enjoyed this mystery novel. It is suspenseful, well-paced, and kept me guessing throughout. This is the second novel in the Aaron Falk series, with the first being The Dry, which I loved as well. So excited to have a great mystery series to follow!

A lazy day with a little bit of magic.✨I ended up picking up this book the other day because the description completely grabbed my attention, and I was in the mood for magic.☺️ I am about 150 pages in and very much enjoying it. . There is a dark secret that is hiding at the heart of New York City and diminishing the city’s magicians’ power in this fantasy thriller by acclaimed author Kat Howard. . In New York City, magic controls everything. But the power of magic is fading. No one knows what is happening, except for Sydney—a new, rare magician with incredible power that has been unmatched in decades, and she may be the only person who is able to stop the darkness that is weakening the magic. But Sydney doesn’t want to help the system, she wants to destroy it. . Sydney comes from the House of Shadows, which controls the magic with the help of sacrifices from magicians. . . . . #bookstagram #bookworm #books #bookblogger #currentlyreading #amreading #indigofaves #bookish #bookishfeatures #booksandbeans #bookfeaturepage #igreads #cozy #anunkindnessofmagicians #sagapress #simonandschuster #saturday #bookstagramfeature

Nothing better than coming home to surprise #bookmail after a long day.👏 Visible Empire by @hannahpittard is described as "an epic novel - based on true events - of wealth, race, grief, and love, charting one sweltering summer in Atlanta that left no one unchanged." Great addition to my summer reading list! That cover screams summer.☀️ .
