My TBR is growing at a terrifying rate because of that book, it's a problem 🤣

I really like what you said about going outside of your comfort zones - I usually read horror and lit fic, but right now I'm reading a historical fantasy novel, The Night Ship by Jess Kidd. It's nice to read something different from what I usually do, and the book is great so far. We shouldn't limit ourselves to labels, just read what you enjoy! Thanks for the wrap up!

Stolen Tongues was firstly published on a subreddit called r/NoSleep. Subreddit authors tend to write their post as if they were really experiencing those creepy stuff themselves. That's why the main character is named after the author.

🌹I finished Cackle last night and loved it. I wasn’t sure for a while because the use of the petname “pet” and Annie’s inability to get it together was getting to me, but that moment in the bathroom mirror made it worth it. And I can’t believe I’ll probably read The Fourth Wing now. You sold me.🌹

I go back and forth on picking up Fourth Wing so much 😂 also Stolen Tongues started as entries on the r/nosleep subreddit so I think the author name (which might even be a pen name idk) is intentionally the same as the main character for meta creepiness as if this actually happened to him if I had to guess

Oh!!! One of those “fictionalized life of the author” things. Got it. Fourth Wing is essentially ACOTAR with dragons instead of fairies. You’d probably enjoy it, but not for the literary merit. 😅

Black Sheep is still on my TBR as I wait for the audio, but I've loved all of the Rachel Harrison I've read. I think the thing that creeped me out the most for Laws of the Skies was the narrator. I felt like he was telling me this children book and all the kids died, it was unsettling. 😂

Fantasy is a horse of a different color. It can definitely be intimidating. But I think the romantasy stuff is actually way more approachable than the Brandon Sanderson-esque type stuff.
