I love losing myself in a good book. I read at night to wind down, in my comfy armchair when I want to snuggle. And I listen to audiobook on my drive to work or while I’m cleaning.
I’m a weird reader. I love reading, but I find it hard to concentrate even if I love a book or I just don’t have the time. This is why I listen to more audiobooks or use Alexa to read my Kindle books aloud.
See below for some reading ranting, reviews, and some of my favourite books. Also, see the sidebar (might be below or above on a mobile) for my up-to-date reading habits via Goodreads and Instagram.

You can’t beat a classic sometimes. This is one of my all-time favourite books. It’s timeless with its complex characters, deep desires, and hints of magic. Dorian just captures the true essence of our darkest selves.
I took a while to get into this, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down and got desperate for the rest of the series.
WINGS!!! I love winged characters. I have a few of them, so reading about angels or demons or other winged people is so much fun.
This was such a weird story in the relationships. I was so curious to find out how they evolved that I couldn’t stop reading.
This is on audiobook in my car and I’m a few chapters in. So far, so good.
Terry’s style is quirky and ironic and so bizarre. I find myself laughing at what the MC states is obvious when us normal folk tilt our heads.
I read this and book 2 a few years ago. Because of life stuff, I never got around top book 3. But it’s on my list. I’ve also read her Titan series. I can’t wait for the Wicked movies.
I’m half way through this right now, and loving it. My only quibble is the voice is a little blunt for my liking, but that’s on me.
I’d been following Jenna for a while and had high expectations when she released this. She didn’t disappoint.
I just love this book for so many fun reasons. The MC goes from a quiet and sheltered life to discovering dark secrets that seduce her into breaking some rules.
This is very relatable story from a writer who lives next to my old town. I had to get her book. I’m glad I did.
I was highly disappointed when they stopped the films after just one. I was looking forward to seeing the series on the big screen. Then they made the TV series. I loved how they adapted the story so it wasn’t the same as the books. It added to the surprises.
There are very few people who aren’t Stephen King fans, so it’s no surprise this is on my favourites list.
My childhood would not be the same without this book, or the movie. I can’t remember what order I experienced them in, but they both left a mark on me.
