Books with Vampires

The topic today was Bookish Brags and honestly, I have none except woohoo I’ve had my book blog for 4 years now – woohoo! Who would’ve thought I’d keep on blogging this long? Not me lol…but since it is October which means Halloween is only a few weeks away, let’s do a spooky season theme – vampires! I love me some vampire books, so here are some recent ones I’ve read.

Bride by. Ali Hazelwood | Book Review

This week’s topic is:

Books I Read/Avoided Because of the Hype

Hype books are something I usually steer clear of until a few months or a year later. But there are moments where I cave in. Here are some of the hyped books that I’ve read or avoided.

House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, #3) by. Sarah J. Maas – all her books are hyped and this one was entertaining but Crescent City is not my favorite series. Still I read her books as soon as they publish!

Ten Favorite Books from Ten Series   | TTT | Top Ten Tuesday 8/6/24

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!

This week’s topic is:

Ten Favorite Books from Ten Series 

The Bridge Kingdom (#1) by. Danielle L. Jensen – The first book of The Bridge Kingdom series is probably my favorite because of just how everything begins!


A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOTAR, #2) by. Sarah J. Maas – I honestly love book one a LOT, but then I think about Tamlin and then think about how I dislike so much in the rest of the series so I’m going to stick with book two as my favorite. Also A Court of Silver Flames is one of my favorites too but I figure book two was where everything for Feyra really changes.


To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (#1) by. Jenny Han – just everything about how they have history to fake dating is so good. I love the whole letter writing – because who does that nowadays?


The Sweetest Betrayal (The Kinder Poison, #3) by. Natalie Mae – book three in The Kinder Poison series is my favorite and just thinking about it makes me want to read the whole series again!


The Empress of Time (The Keeper of Night, #2) by. Kylie Lee Baker – I thought the second book in this duology was better than book one. It’s so dark and full of action.


The Poppy War (The Poppy War, #1) by. R.F. Kuang – This book blew me away! I love the whole series but I think book one was amazing.


The Prison Healer (The Prison Healer, #1) by. Lynette Noni – I enjoyed this series and really like the first and third book but for this list I’ll pick book one.


Greythorne (Bloodleaf, #2) by. Crystal Smith – I rarely enjoy the second book in a series but I loved this one!


Legendary (Caraval, #2) by. Stephanie Garber – I loved Caraval but I loved Legendary more!


The Shadowglass (The Bone Witch, #3) by. Rin Chupeco – I almost DNF’ed the first book then gave it another chance and this became one of my favorite series. Book three gutted me and it’s my favorite!
