If you're looking for a thriller with a dark academia setting look no further! For Your Own Good was a very fun and quick read. I enjoyed the different POVs and I loved the short chapters. The plot and pacing were very well done and I had a great time trying to piece everything together. There were so many twists it kept me engaged the whole time and I couldn't say whodunit! The ending felt a little too rushed for me but I very much enjoyed the epilogue. I definitely recommend if you haven't read it already (especially paired with a glass of milk)! 

Oh this one was not good at all sadly. The story telling was very absurd and the characters were very dumb and unlikeable. The storytelling was bad and took away all the tension because you exactly knew what would happen next. The setting and atmosphere but that's it. I thought that I would get a Rock Paper Scissor esque thriller but this one felt very flat.

This novella was absolutely amazing! Short but so powerful. I enjoyed it very much and I'm definitely going to read it again. Miller has such a way with words it's a pleasure reading her works. 

The overall atmosphere and vibes were very good! It was creepy and eerie and I just loved the whole setting. I had some trouble following the different POVs and time stamps and I think it's because the characters really lacked in depth for me. I enjoyed Luna's story line the most and still remember parts of it but I already forgot every other person this book was about. I really can't remember. Without spoiling the ending I just was disappointed with the outcome. The plot twist/ending made sense but for me something was missing. I ended the book and was like "ok.". 

It is definitely not a bad book, but it didn't grab me as much as I would have liked it. 

Last but not least: the note of the author at the end was very interesting and I enjoyed this a lot and I will definitely want to read more about the witches of Scotland. 

 

 

 This book feels like a cozy blanket. I found this copy in a LFL and of course I had to get it home with me! 
It tells the story of 79 year-old Eileen who is newly single and is just sick of her boring life in the Yorkshire country side. There also is her granddaughter Leena who is a workaholic and who really needs to slow down and escape her busy life in London for two months. Both decide to swap places for this time and try a new and different lifestyle. 
This book was so funny and wholesome! I loved Eileen and her new found life, friends and romantic adventures in London. She definitely was the center of the story for me. Leena also had some very sweet and rememberable moments but her grandma was the real star. The book also dealt with grief, cancer and death which took the lighthearted and funny story to some darker places which disrupted my reading flow a bit. 
I did not always understand Leena in her thoughts and actions and I would have been fine with only reading Eileen's POV. 
It was exactly what I needed and I will definitely pick up another book by the author soon! 

It's nice to be back in Elfhame even it's just for a short time. I enjoyed Taryn's POV and her look onto the events.
