My Favorite Things
Musings on all of my interests across books, music, and film.
Get in babes we’re diving back into the world of The Bone Season. I got my hands on an arc of The Dark Mirror and my experience reading it was equal parts terror and excitement (and pausing every few seconds to say to my empty room: ‘Samantha why would you do this’)
Revisiting this series after several years has been a ton of fun (mostly marking up my digital copy with all the highlights and sobbing into my pillow). This series is just so stressful there’s no other way to describe it, but it’s become one of my all-time favorites Read More
Easily my new favorite series from 2024, hitting at some of my favorite fantasy tropes (and a horse?) with a raunchy plot, bonkers narration, and banging soundtrack. Follow my Twitter

My playlist for one of my favorite new series, The Bone Season is now complete. A compilation of essential tracks across the first five books, including the fifth incoming installment The Dark Mirror.
The Best Books of the 21st Century
My submissions for the best books of this century romance & sff edition ✨
Hopping on this trend after seeing my pal @bookishyani rocking up with some truly amazing picks yesterday. Go check hers out if you haven’t already.
This list seems appropriate after hitting 1,500 books read since I started documenting my reading via Goodreads. Clearly a lot of these are books I’ve read recently but many are firmly in the reread category meaning I’ve picked them up or plan to come back to them in the years to come. Read More
My latest music obsession is this entire album from AURORA. I did a deep dive as I was planning my latest book playlist around some of her new songs and this album might just be my favorite from 2024. I love how she plays with sound and thematically this is her best album yet.
I’m seated. The booksellers are scared and asking me to leave because it “Hasn’t even published yet” but I am simply too seated. A niche Pixie Hollow ship I’ve been obsessed with since 2012 is getting written into a standalone by one of my favorite authors? VINDICATION!!
My current read is one of my most anticipated of this year. Nightstrider is a debut dark fantasy set across two realms, the dreaming and the waking world, and follows four individuals across the realms who unite to stop a tyrant from destroying them for good.
Its sooooo bisexual, it’s got enemies becoming allies, and a marriage of convenience so I have high hopes for this one!
You know the latest season of Bridgerton has dropped because all the historical romance girlies come out of hiding with their recommendations. It’s taken me too long to share this with you all, but here are mine✨
