- I always like to grab some solid cryptid-themed books every fall. It just seems like the perfect time of year to dream up some spooky critters ?

September 22, 2019Looks like you’re doing well on your ARC ban! I’m super intrigued to see what you think of The Collected Schizophrenias and Lore!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
September 30, 2019Thank you! I’m so excited to pick up both of those. It feels like The Collected Schizophrenias has been on my radar forever, and if I like Lore, I might have to buy it because it’s soooo gorgeous!

September 30, 2019The audio narrator is really perfect for Feyre! I think listening to these has put them in a whole new light for me and has just totally taken me back to how much I loved them the first time I read them. ??? Thank you Jen!

September 24, 2019ACOMAF!!! Fun fact, ACOTAR series is one of my favorite series of all time and I have never listened to the audiobook ? Do you think that the audio is up there with like illuminae? Or is it just nice audiobook? Lmaooooo
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
September 30, 2019Hmmm… I wouldn’t put it at Illuminae levels, just “a really solid narrator who fits the character” levels ?
