Books I Read in January (2023)
Tumblr media
For more in-depth explanations, look below the cut! (Note that Stealing Thunder was actually a 5/10 and I DNF’d The Octunnumi)
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater (10/10)
Maggie Stiefvater is just a master with interpersonal relationships. The sigh of relief I gave when Adam and Gansey seemed to finally get it together was more pronounced than if they had gotten out of a near-death situation. The plot is progressing slowly but surely, with a great twist at the end, and the writing is beautiful as always.
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett (9/10)
It's rare that I use the word "fun" to describe a book that deals with faerie lore, but this one fits the bill. Despite the darker elements, this book manages to stay lighthearted most of the time. The journal format works well, and Emily is a great main character. Her and Wendell reminded me very strongly of Sophie and Howl, which I loved.
Stealing Thunder by Alina Boyden (5/10)
I really wanted to like this book, but it was pretty disappointing. The author is clearly passionate about the topic, as the incorporation of trans characters into the world and the descriptions of a Pakistan-inspired world are very good. However, the actual plot is aimless, jumping from conflict to conflict with no consequences, and the characters are very flat with the main character being virtually devoid of flaws
The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater (10/10)
The conclusion to the series! I was pretty much perpetually stressed while reading this book, especially since there's a lot more going on than in the previous three. The relationships, both platonic and romantic, were stellar as usual with some amazing lines. There are so many perspectives, but it never felt crowded. A great conclusion to the series, and it sets up the spinoff well.
Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (8/10)
This was just a solid read. It wasn't particularly anything special, using tried and true tropes and characters, but it executed it well. The plot was a strong point, and although Tessa and Corrick were pretty typical for YA protagonists they were well-developed and likable. They were a pretty decent portrayal of enemies to lovers as well.
The Octunnumi by Trevor Alan Foris (DNF)
The concept of this book is very intriguing, even if it is a fairly dense fantasy. However, the breaking point for me was the page-long focus on the second major female character's outfit with undue attention to her chest complete with "jiggling across the room." I'm sorry, what? It was infuriating, ridiculous, and pretty much ruined any chance this book had with me.

I just fact checked myself, the octunnumi series is supposed to be 12 books, not 10. The author is completely anonymous, nothing is known about them, same as the publisher of the books. It's a complete mystery and *Spoiler alert* the book starts of with the author describing the story to their assistant who's typing everything up as the author's memory of this other world that's described in the book because the assistant is faster at typing (i think if i remember correctly)
sounds cool!

Salem bought me a mysterious book on Kickstarter for Christmas and it just arrived. I think (?) it’s a novel, but if it is, it’s the most ornate and aesthetic packaging I have ever seen.

I received an early Christmas present today!

I have seen this all over BookTok and decided I absolutely needed it based on aesthetics alone, lol. I not so subtly hinted to my husband that I desperately wanted this and it came today SOOO, being the amazing sweetheart is he decided to give it to me early.
Has anybody else read it?!
If you’re interested or want to know more, check out the link below.

I just went through the tag for The Octunnumi and all people are saying is that it looks pretty. Which is true, but has anybody actually read it? I really don't like it so far and was wondering if it gets better 😅

book recommendations if you've ever been into the narnia/harry potter/wizard of oz stories: the magicians trilogy
book recommendation if you're willing to wait years to finish the story which is really fun (book 2/10(i think) is coming out by the end of the year) and the physical book looks divine: octunnumi (tiktok made me buy it, totally worth it)
BOOK TWO OUT OF TEN?? bestie imma pass 😭

My experience reading The Octunnumi:
Do you ever just show up, be gorgeous, then leave?
Breaking the 4th wall is called inner conscience now. Hi Trevor.
What are walls
Meet my bestie aka dad
What is happening
We lost the kids but that was a while ago
We ignore our problems in this household
Ew?
Don’t judge a book by the cover someone gave you.. of.. that book
Ok finally some plot stuff half way thru but it was just a diversion
THE HOUSE
Metal has emotions 😤

Hello I branded
I have dyslexia, I have ADHD. Trying to figure out if I have a form of pure OCD. All I can think about is Octunnumi and I want to know what it's about SO BADLY
