Review: How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories (Spoiler-Free)
Some might think of him as a strong draught, burning the back of one's throat, but invigorating all the same. You might beg to differ. So long as you're begging, he doesn't mind a bit. YUP YUP YUP this was everything I needed right now. I loved being able to fall back into one of my favorite worlds, reading about my favorite terrible people. The illustrations in this book are EVERYTHING. I legit could stare at some of them forever and never get bored. If you think the fanart

I can see why people enjoy this book, but it just wasn't enough to hook me!

Don't think he would be different for you, Audrey. This might be the most satisfying book I have ever read. This hit every mark I wanted it to- it went in every direction it should have.

Review: Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas (Spoiler-Free)
Did she feel better now? Or did she feel nothing? 3.5 stars? uhhhh I really don't know how to rate this, but I think 3.5 is the most accurate I can get. This book really took me on a rollercoaster. I'd say the first half, maybe even two thirds was potentially 5 star worthy (that seems to be a trend with all of the books I've read recently...), but the ending didn't do it for me. I found myself so intrigued for the whole book, eager to flip pages and find out more, so my readi
