I'm Leah! The woman behind Leah's Books, a blog where I write book reviews and post other bookish content.
I’m currently drowning in ARCs, so the vast majority of my fall 2023 TBR is going to be ARCs. However, there are some books I got that I’m dying to start sooner rather than later. Here’s just some of the books I’m hoping to read in fall 2023: […]
This week’s prompt is about broody/grumpy characters, and it’s surprisingly apropos for me. I love a good grumpy/sunshine story, and that obviously can’t happen without a grumpy or broody character. I also read a lot of fantasy novels, and those tend to be chock full of broody and […]
This week’s prompt is favorite character relationships, which can be platonic or not, romantic relationships, parent/child, siblings, family bonds, friendships, found families, pet/human, etc. I love this prompt, because the relationships and interactions between characters can really take a book to the next level. Here are some of […]
Hex and the City Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. CONTENT WARNING: blood, gore, mention of bullying, eating disorder, gaslighting Things you should know about Poppy: 1. She’s a witch 2. […]

This week’s topic is a fun one—books that defied my expectations, and it was submitted by Sia @ Every Book a Doorway. The prompt further clarifies: we can focus on books we thought we wouldn’t like that we loved, books we thought we’d love but didn’t books that […]
Bloody Summer What do children know that adults can’t begin to believe? The answer is hidden in plain sight in this haunting short story by the bestselling author of Her Body and Other Parties. Tiger, tiger, burning bright, in the forests of the night. In the town of […]

August is finally over, and I can’t wait for the autumn weather to arrive. I’ve already gotten my fall scented hand soaps for the bathroom, and I am seriously looking forward to saying goodbye to summer. Sorry to all of you hot weather lovers, I need the temps […]
