This book is big enough to kill someone and I’m ready for that to be me again, as she’s publishing another book within the same world.

I also loved this feminist epic fantasy by Samantha Shannon, who is one of my favourite fantasy authors. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon I know the ending was a cliffhanger and I was super impatient to read the next book but its been like 2 years and I need a real refresher. The long-awaited sequel to Ninth House, Hell Bent is coming out in January 2023, and I’ve done this silly thing called “buying the gorgeous Barnes & Noble edition at the expensive of my wallet that’s forever crying” because the cover looks so much better in red, in my opinion. I want to relive the moments that I fell in love with and I have no doubts that they will still be 5 stars once I’ve finished them again. I’m not usually one to reread but I’ve decided that for the following few, I actually really need to reread them because I barely remember the events that happened and I gave them all 5 stars. I’m really excited for this one and I hope it means I end up reading more thrillers in 2023. It sounds promising so far with the blurb saying something about people invited to an exclusive island for a wedding but not everyone making it out alive. I didn’t get her latest book but instead the one that apparently put her name out there as one of the best thriller writers – The Guest List. Enter my book-buying addiction and this author that I’ve been seeing everywhere online after the publication of her latest novel, The Paris Apartment. I’m not sure if it’s because of work or if I’m branching even further out to other genres or because I’ve been watching a lot of BookTubers who have been reading thrillers, but I’ve been craving a good thriller. I kept seeing this book talked about on Instagram and it apparently follows two gamers who possibly have a romance? But it’s not a romance book? I’m not sure but I need to read this one – one of my lovely colleagues absolutely loved it, so I hope to get around to it soon! This book recently won the Best Fiction Book in the Goodreads Choice Awards but it was already on my radar and waiting for me on my shelf about 2 months ago. Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin Sanderson’s writing always sucks me in and I can never put down his books so this one is a must before 2023! Now that I have it and I’ve got plenty of time and motivation, I can’t wait to delve back into this series. In my defence, I didn’t want to order the book until I had the B format/mass paperback to match my existing books in the series – it just happened that it took like, over a year, for the smaller book to come out. I loved the first two books of the Skyward series and it’s a bit of a shock that I’ve still yet to read the third book, Cytonic, until this month.
