I loved Caraval too! All the others are on my to-read list. Except for This Mortal Coil. I never cheked it out, mostly because I’m not really in the mood for apocalypse books 😂

Its not like most apocalypse books I’ve read. Not as heavy and there wasn’t really much survival element besides the beginning.

Im glad you liked it! The Bone Witch was so much better than I expected. I think I originally decided to read it because my name is in it. 😂 The writing style was unique to me but by the end I was enraptured by the story.

That is always good! I have had low expectations for a book and ended up being really good! Like Percy Jackson’s books xD
Oohh it if has your name it makes it easier to think that one is a character :3

Sometimes going into books blind is the best sort of way to experience them.
