Every August I read Delirium by Lauren Oliver, because it’s my all time favorite series as it has a place in my heart. Why I choose August to read it is because I try to match the season the book is ultimately placed in to the one I’m reading it during. I read Delirium in August, Pandemonium in September, and Requiem in October.

I also listen to the same playlist that I accidentally happened upon when I first read the series, which has songs that perfectly work with the book.

If you haven’t read this series, and you’ve been having either an existential curiosity lately or even just a romantic one, read this.

It’s good for even people who don’t enjoy romance genre sub-genre books.

Hey,

No, 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑢𝑝.

⠀

Yeah, I’m the one they talk about. The headmaster’s prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of Notredame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.

⠀

An urban legend.

⠀

The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

⠀

Frollo’s secret

⠀

Then they showed up, those heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren’t just dangerous, they’re heartless. They won’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

⠀

Now that they’ve found me, they may never let me go. And maybe I wouldn’t want them to…

Humanity’s Endgame by Eve Langlais

 5 stars

audiobook

That was awesome! This was one of those books where I didn’t read the blurb and just dove in, so I had no idea what to expect. What I got was a smart, interesting, dystopian world, with just enough background to explain the present. Didn’t really expect a romance, as our heroine kept things hopping on her own, and was happy she got someone who matched her <3

[mortala-if]

Mortala, the word, derives from the Latin adjective "Mortalis." meaning "subject to death." Comparable to the English word "Mortal." meaning the same. —

You live in a rotting world. And that's not a metaphor.

You've known that since you can remember. It's a fact that's been drilled into your mind on repeat.

A rotting world that you must not explore. Stay where you are, stay where you're familiar with, stay where you're comfortable— In The Cinders with your older brother.

The Cinders might not look pretty, but it's not horrible. Steer clear of most streets, keep your head down, don't poke around in other people's business, and you'll be fine. You've learned to navigate pretty well, not to toot your own horn.

Plus, you've got a job, and so does your brother. Not good ones, but ones that can, with a joint salary, keep a crumbling roof over your heads. —

Another thing that's been forced into your mind since you were spoon-fed is to never, ever disobey Belamour.

Belamour is a peaceful organization that was made to keep you safe. To do this, they have strict laws in place, and officers crawl over the cities to make sure you follow them. They are not a government, and they make it very known that they are not.

If you fail to obey, you'll get sent to your city's rehabilitation center! Isn't that nice? Or, on the worse side, you can end up in the Belamour Rehabilitation Center all the way in The Frost.

You and your brother made an agreement when you were very little that you would stick together, and neither of you would break any of the rules for fear of being sent to a rehabilitation center.

. . . An agreement your brother broke.

Now you have to find out how to get him the fuck out of there.

Mortala is a 16+ game due to explicit language, violence, death, anxiety, mention of past emotional abuse (not of MC), messy relationships, and more. A detailed trigger warning list will be listed before every chapter.

Customize the flawed main character, ranging from their gender to their style. (Semi-set personality. Set last name and age.)

Make risky choices that might result in you dying or being injured.

Build relationships between characters, romanceable and not.

Finally wipe The Cinders' ashes off you and explore more than just the burnt city you grew up in.

Go against everything you were taught growing up.

Lie to save your (and your brother's) skin.

These characters are not all romanceable, and you will not meet most of these characters until Chapter Two. Also, it's important to note that not all these characters have plot armor. This does not include sub-romances or all the characters you'll interact with.

FINNLEY ROSE. ✩ ---- Finnley has raised you since you were 5, making him 11 when you started to rely on him. You never really understood the gravity of that until you were in your late teenage years, and that's when you really started to appreciate him. You regret things you've said to him, how you've hurt him— and lately, with his absence, that's all you can think about. ---- His skin is a shade lighter than yours, the same textured hair as yours, and he has brown hooded eyes outlined with eyelashes that make you jealous. He stands at 6 feet, 2 inches. (187.96cm)

HIRO LA'EI. ✩ ---- Hiro has been your best friend since you were in diapers. You know everything about him, and he knows everything about you. You genuinely think he might be one of the sweetest people alive, despite what others might assume, and he jumps at the chance to help you with anything. . . ---- He has tan skin, wavy dark brown hair, and pretty doe-like brown eyes. He stands at 5 feet, 10 inches. (177.8cm) ! Option to have a crush on him— it goes nowhere, though.

MEDUSA CALIXTE. ♡ ---- Medusa. What can you say about Medusa? To put it plainly, she's your best friend's ex-girlfriend. She broke up with him and gave no reason. At the time of their relationship, you thought she was. . . interesting, for lack of a better word, and when she left your best friend, it took a huge toll on him, and from the looks of it, it barely affected her. ---- She has russet brown skin, coiled light brown hair, often shoulder-length and worn in dreads, and upturned hazel eyes. She stands at 5 feet, 2 inches. (157.48cm)

MONROE HALILI. ♡ ---- Your brother's best friend. They're concerned, and not just about their best friend. They're observant, annoyingly so, and can tell how bad his leave has affected you. Obviously, due to their status, they've taken it upon themselves to check on you- wanted or not. ---- They have deep tawny skin, curly black hair with white underneath, and dark brown monolid eyes framed with long, naturally curled eyelashes. He stands at 6 feet tall. (182.88cm) ! Option to have a childhood crush on them. (Three-year age gap.)

LIVIA ALARIE. ✩ ---- Monroe's daughter. From what you heard from your brother, she's incredibly timid- Oh, and she's smiled at him. (He wouldn't shut up about it for a week.) You've never seen her or talked to her yet. ---- She has tawny skin, wavy black hair that reaches below her ears, and dark brown almond eyes. She stands at 3 feet, 7 inches. (109.22cm)

VIVIAN DE LA CRUZ. ♡ ---- Your ex. You still think about them occasionally— you don't date someone for 5 years and forget about them even if you want to. You don't like how things ended, but you don't know if you want to see them again. ---- They have warm golden skin, light blue wavy hair, and downturned brown eyes. They stand at 6ft, 1 inch. (185.42cm) ! Details of the past relationship in their character profile.

The Selection🩵👑

[noahhawthorneauthor]

I was angry when I wrote this book. I poured my trans rage and frustration and grief into this book. But of the many conflicts inside these pages, being trans isn't one of them.

I created a main character that was strong. Relentless. Generous. Clever. Kind. Flawed. Disabled. Trans. I wanted a world where being trans isn't a problem, and the characters could worry about big things, like taking down society instead.

Its unlike anything I've ever written, and defies genres. For that, and the time in my life it got me through, I will always love it.

It's free for the trans rights readathon this week, everywhere but Amazon.

Monstrous Truths by K.A. Knight

Fo gotten City book 2

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a phenomenal second book in this series ! I’m loving this world full of monsters and humans I love the overall plot to this series I love how this book sets us up for the next and final installment and I can’t wait for it !

⠀

⠀

Thirty years ago the world as we know it was lost. Now humans live like rats, desperate for food and safety, the wall towering before us as a mocking reminder of what happened…

⠀

But some, some are born into privilege and wealth and I am one of those. I spend my days trying to change the world we live in, fighting for the truth as any good scientist does. However, when I am thrust through the wall I have to fight just to survive.

⠀

Hurt, alone and scared I run smack into the very creatures we are taught to fear.

⠀

A monster.

⠀

But this monster is intent on protecting me, even as I fear him.

⠀

Together we must delve into the past, to find the truth behind the monster's creation. The truth behind what happened all those years ago and when we do? It changes my entire future. The world crumbling around me, I cling to the only honest thing I find.

⠀

Him.

⠀

But when the humans decide they want their research, and their scientist back, I am ripped from the safety of his arms. Once more fighting to survive, I promise to find the truth, even if it costs me my life.

⠀

With my monster at my side, I will untangle the lies, I will find the truth and when I do? This whole Monstrous plan will come unravelled.

⠀

*Monstrous Truths is the second book in the Forgotten City Series, all the books can be read as a stand-alone and feature different characters but to fully enjoy the series I suggest reading the series in order.*

i love coming on here and finding out everyone lost their damn mind while i slept

[haveyoureadthispoll]

This is a world divided by blood—red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change. That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power. Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime. But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.

The Inverted Spire is a dark fantasy choices-matter visual novel with themes of redemption and self-discovery in a brutal dystopian world aimed for an 18+ audience that may not be suitable for all players.

You play as a mind-reading goblin mage whose citizen score has fallen below the threshold of social acceptability.

The Spire is an unearthly architectural marvel stretching many leagues below ground. It has no known origin, and has been altering the surrounding landscape into an unlivable wasteland.

Your Council has been sending groups of prisoners into the structure for decades with the stated intent of investigating and destroying it. This is the sole opportunity for wards of the state to have their crimes forgiven, scores reset, and citizenship fully reinstated.

None have ever returned. But you, and the six others who have been 'volunteered' alongside you, are determined to be the first survivors.

The interactive novel is created by N. A. Melamed. You can support them on Ko-fi and follow their progress on Twitter and Instagram. Currently, their game is downloadable only on Windows and macOS.
