This book was everything I wanted for spooky season. Anathema is dark (definitely check trigger warnings), but it hit the perfect October vibe for me. Think crunchy leaves under a full moon, wind whistling through the trees, and shadows that feel a little too close.

The main characters are strong and compelling, and the side characters add so much life (and some delight!) to the story. It’s one of those books that wraps around you and lingers, even after you’ve finished the last page.

I can’t wait to dive into Eldritch (book 2), which just came out. I’ve already heard it brings some fantastic character development. Can’t wait!

Perfect pick if you want a gothic fall read.

Today’s book mail!!

I suspect it will be awhile before I dig into either of these, but I am very excited they are here, even if I can’t capture them in a cute staged pic.

Confession: I have plenty of content saved on my phone, but rarely post it because making things look “aesthetic” (as my 10-year-old says) feels like a full-time job.

Here’s the reality of my reading life: I’m usually pacing around the house in a dorky headband with earbuds in, or audiobook-ing while chauffeuring kids from one activity to the next. The dreamy blanket + latte + cozy reading nook? Gorgeous, but not my day-to-day.

So if you’re following along here, expect:
—low-budget photo and video energy
—ponytails, no makeup, real life
—spontaneous trips into every indie bookstore I stumble across

If that sounds like your vibe—welcome. You’re in the right place. 🥰
