A little life update. πŸ–€

Sooooo…. About yesterday, and the lack of DRS… I had plans to post, but sometimes life just gets in the way. I was at a market for over 12 hours last Saturday, and my body could not take that. Especially not my back.

So yesterday I could barely walk, I walked like an old lady. That was not a good day at all, so I could not post – even if I really wanted to. I was mostly laying on the couch and tried to survive the day. πŸ˜‚ And last week was pretty chaotic over all, so my brain was not with me at all tbh. I had to much going on, so I just crashed. And that’s okay, I’m only human. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

But don’t worry – the Nook isn’t going anywhere. I just need a little breathing room.

Thank you for being here, and I’ll see you in the next post. πŸ–€...

Part 2 – Stalkers & Survival

Welcome back, fellow red flag collectors. πŸ–€


We’ve officially left the shallow end. These books bring darker themes, messier relationships, and characters who make β€œmorally grey” feel suspiciously generous. 😏 Now we are moving towards the darkness, and I really hope you will follow me all the way! Because you have no idea how nice the dark really is.

I have read all of these 4 books, and I loved everyone. Does It Hurt? will forever be my Roman Empire. I think about that book almost every day, and I read it summer last year. I think it will stay with me for the rest of my life. πŸ˜‚ I really hope you will enjoy some of these too. 😍

Wrap-Ups

September Wrap Up

Welcome back to the monthly evidence that owning a reasonable number of books was never an option. πŸ˜…

I had a reading slump, it was brutal. I could not just sit down and find peace in reading. I don’t know if it is because I started school, I mean – it could be. I was tired most evenings too, so I fell asleep kinda early almost every night. πŸ˜… But I’m now out of my reading slump and that makes me soooo happy! Because reading before I sleep is my way of winding down. And I really need it now.

DRS #2 | Red Flag or Dealbreaker? Part 1

It’s Sunday. The red flags are flying, the morals are questionable, and I have thoughts. Welcome back to Dark Romance Sunday. 🚩

I have an endo flare-up, so todays post will be kinda short. I really don’t have energy for more, but I feel like i can’t leave you guys. πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ So, today I will give red flags my verdicts. Enjoy!

– Red Flag or Dealbreaker? 🚩

Touch her and die
– Yes, this one I love. A true man would burn the world for her! βœ…

Forbidden love
– This one is enjoyable to a point, I don’t want it too much – but also not too little. If you know what I mean. πŸ™ˆ βœ…

Revenge dating
– Haha this one tho, this red flag is my green flag. I really love this one, it always get out of hand and there is usually so fucking much going on at the end. I usually get 4/5 of my pulse-rating. Sometimes I forget to breath. βœ…

Possessive Book Boyfriends? Yes please. | Part 1

Welcome back, you little smutty turtle. 😏

Back into the darkness we go β€” questionable men, questionable decisions and absolutely no regrets. πŸ–€

Do we love a really possessive man in books? Yes, we do. But why do we do that? I have no idea, it just scratches my head – I think we all giggle like schoolgirls when he says “She’s Mine.” 🀭 I know I do, I cannot help it. It just comes out, it doesn’t matter if I’m at home, at work or at school – it just slips. If my man would be that jealous as the men in our books – I would probably just laugh at him and tell him to work on himself. But in books? Oh yes, that SCRATCHES my brain. 😏

So naturally, I had to make a list with some of my favorite possessive book boyfriends that I would probably not say “no” to. And apperantly my list is long, so it will have to be multiple parts. Sorry, not sorry. πŸ˜‚

I will try to not spoil the books while spiralling on about my boyfriends, but I can’t promise it. πŸ™ˆ

Of course we start of with one of my first book boyfriends. 😏

Books That Feel Like Autumn πŸ‚ | Part 2

Welcome back to the Nook, you smutty turtle. 😏

We are back again, because apperently 6 books wasn’t enough. But also, it doesn’t matter that our TBR:s are growing – right?
I don’t at least. But I have no shelf-control so that’s that. πŸ’… And this time the genres are…. Many? I don’t even know, I just want to spread some reading-joy!

Out of these books, I have read Feathers So Vicious, Coraline and Harry Potter (the whole series is autumn, so just read it).
I am gonna read Ghost Dick this autumn, doing a buddyread with one of my best friends. 😍 Need to read Nights of Obediance, I love me some good dark romance!

My friend told me to read this – so I did!

Welcome back, I see you are here to add more books to your TBR. πŸ˜πŸ–€

Have you ever been told by your friend that you need to read a book ASAP?
Same, so many times that I cannot even count no more. πŸ™ˆ
My TBR is already at like 1000+ books that I want to read – calm down or else I don’t even know which book to start with… I cannot read like 7 books a week, I don’t read that fast. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

So, here are 4 books that my friends basically threatened me to read, like yesterday. πŸ˜‚πŸ₯²
Yes, it took some time before I actually read them – but hey, at least I read them. πŸ™ˆ

Dark Romance Sunday #1 | Chaos & Red Flags

Welcome to the very first Dark Romance Sunday β€” your weekly dose of red flags, questionable fictional men and books we definitely wouldn’t recommend to our therapist. πŸ–€πŸš©

Every sunday I will bring more chaos to you, because why not? We all need more of that in our lives. So come and join me here 😏 I will change it up every Sunday too, so it hopefully doesn’t get too repetitive – at least that’s what I’m aming for. πŸ‘

I am one of those readers that analyzes books a bit to much sometimes, so some Sundays I will have A LOT to write, so please stop me when you’ve had enough. πŸ˜‚ I have no stop, I can just can go on spouting nonsense forever. And I know that nobody wants to read to much, you probably just wants to know this shit and move on with your life. πŸ™ˆ

FIRST UP THIS DRS IS:

🚩 Would I Ignore This Red Flag?

I will start with 4 books, I have read 2 of them (Lights Out and Butcher & Blackbird). But I really want to read the other 2, they sound very good tbh!

Review: Mate by Ali Hazelwood

⚠️ This review may contain spoliers! ⚠️

Welcome back to the Nook β€” I read the book, I have thoughts, and unfortunately for everyone, I wrote them down. πŸ˜πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

THE SET UP

I didn’t really had any expectations at all. Okay, I lied. I wanted more of Serena’s attitude, and that we got. She is hilarious most of the time, I wish every FMC could be kinda like that. 🀭🫣

Books that scream autumn πŸ‚ | Part 1

Welcome back to the Nook – I had a thought and, naturally, turned it into an entire blog post. πŸ˜πŸ‘

I think we all have some autumn feelings now, at least I have. And with that, now I just want to get comfy under a blanket in my rocking chair with some candles and a cup of tea. πŸ‚πŸ΅
With autumn, I’m craving dark romance and fantasy.
I’m continuing my TOG journey. I have abbout 30 % left and I don’t want it to end… But fortunately I have Crescenty City left, and I am so ready for those! I know I will not be able to finish whole CC before Acotar 6 comes out, so I will probably avoid social media in the beginning. πŸ˜‚

Booktok made me read this…

Welcome back! Today’s post exists purely because my brain refused to let this thought go. πŸ–€

You know when you have seen a Booktok-book like 4850 times in one week? Yes, of course you do.
I did read some of them. And I need to talk about them. And then perhaps you read one of them to, and if you do – I am happy for you πŸ₯° or I am sorry. πŸ’€
