This week’s topic is:

Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read

I don’t have 10 today, only 7!

---

• Every Spiral of Fate by. Tahereh Mafi – I haven’t read it because someone advised me to wait until the next book comes out first. So I’ve been waiting!
• Rites of the Starling by. Devney Perry – I borrowed this right away (surprised it was available), but for some reason I couldn’t get into it. I’m trying again with the audiobook.
• This Shattered Tempest by. Thea Guanzon – I actually have this as an arc, but I wanted to wait nearer to publication to read this. I may give in and read it earlier though!

• Daybreak by. Autumn Woods – have been waiting on this for a year! And I will read it as soon as it is delivered to me this week.
• For Whom the Belle Tolls by. Jaysea Lynn – found this on Book Outlet, after hearing good reviews for it. I still haven’t read it!
• Witch of Wild Things by. Raquel Vasquez Gilliland – I keep meaning to read this! Hopefully this fall!

• Scorched Earth by. Danielle L. Jensen – I haven’t read it yet because I feel like I need to read the previous books since it’s been so long between books!

Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free 

---

• Beneath by. Ariel Sullivan – a recent read this year that was an emotional roller coaster.
• The Winged Game by. Sophie Kim – a recent read that was fun because of the creatures!
• White Lights by. Lauren Kate – a book that was so chaotic, I can’t help think about how crazy it was.

• Alchemised by. SenLinYu – I felt like this was such a reading event in 2025 — hard to forget.
• The Night Prince by. Lauren Palphreyman – this series has a chokehold on me. I’m obsessed with Blake.
• Crown Me yours by. Liv Zander – an unexpected book that made me cry!

• Weavingshaw by. Heba Al-Wasity – such a good book. Can’t wait for the sequel.
• Starside by. Alex Aster – for some reason I can’t stop thinking about this one. Maybe because it was all action and then like 2-3 pages of spice at the end. LOL…kind of wild but I loved the quest.
• The Library of Amorlin by. Kalyn Josephson – Loved this story, it was magical with the creatures but also so tense because of the morally gray FMC.

Daggermouth by. H.M. Wolfe – read this at the end of 2025 and loved it! Can’t wait for book two!
