Monday’s are usually less than magical for me but I decided to start this post to add a bit of magic to my Monday and your Monday as well! There are so many books out there that have added so much comfort in my life and I think comfort is what we all need on difficult Mondays!

1…Shadow and Bone 

Your contemporary girl who is extremely behind on the hype train is finally reading a Leigh Bardugo book! The fantasy genre is not in my comfort zone but Leigh Bardugo is coming to my hometown on January 31st and I want to at least read one book by her before I go to the book signing! There is an unreal amount of excitement since the the Six of Crows Netflix tv show announcement and the FOMO for me is real! Also, it helps to know that one of my fave YouTubers readbyzoe is also going to be at the Leigh Bardugo book signing in Coral Gables, FL!

2…By Your Side

My book club is reading By Your Side for our February Galentines Day and I am so excited to begin this book! I read the Kasie West book Lucky in Love and I liked the book but didn’t love the story itself. I felt the story was more appropriate to a middle-grade reader. Although I have heard some really great reviews about the book By Your Side. I heard that one of the characters experience anxiety and that the anxiety rep was written perfectly! This is your typical fluffy contemporary romance but one of the main reasons why I am excited to read this book is because the two characters get trapped in a library! What can be more romantic than being trapped in a library?! 

3…Slayer

This book was just released this month I am quite intrigued by this book! I saw a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and was very invested in the Buffy and Angel romance but never followed through with all the episodes. I have always wanted to get back into Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I think that this Buffy the Vampire inspired book will be the perfect way to delve into the slayer world again! Is it just me or are vampires making a comeback again?
