This week’s reading stack feels very deliberately split between intensity and comfort, which honestly says a lot about where my head is at right now. On one side, I’m continuing with Insurgent.

Cassie 
…a soft “here’s where I’m at”

Currently Reading – A Blend of History, Heart, and a Touch of the Uncanny
This week I’ve settled into two very different but surprisingly complementary reads: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley A time travel novel unlike any I’ve read before—bureaucratic, witty, and threaded with a deeply humane look at displacement, love, and the complicated weight of history. Bradley’s writing is sharp, layered, …

Last week, I had grand plans for Frankenstein and False Value, but my brain waved a white flag. Mental health-wise, I just wasn’t in the headspace for Shelley’s heavy storms or Aaronovitch’s magical noir, so I pivoted to something gentler: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood and A Thousand …

🐺 From Fake Fiancés to Feral Instincts: Last Week’s Reads & What’s Next
Last week didn’t go the way I planned — and honestly? That might’ve been for the best. Instead of getting lost in mythology (Mythos by Stephen Fry) and cozy magic (Mosaics & Magic by Nancy Warren) like I intended, I fell headfirst into a small-town fake engagement (The Fiancé Dilemma …
📚 Reading This Week: Divine Chaos & Witchy Whodunnits
This week’s reads are spinning tales both ancient and arcane — and I’m happily caught in the middle. ⚡ Mythos by Stephen Fry Greek mythology has never felt so charming. Stephen Fry retells the familiar myths of the Greek gods, goddesses, and glorious disasters with trademark wit and warmth. It’s …
