Name: Echo Age: 31 Favorite book as an adult: The Court of Ravens Duet by Liv Zander. Wish I could read them for the first time again so much. Coming in second for me is the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. Favorite book as a child: Baby Beluga by Raffi Favorite genre: Dark Romance, Monster Romance, Horror/Thriller, Romantasy, Fantasy. Favorite troupe: Stalker, touch her and die, masked men, why choose, obsessive mmc, morally grey. Least Favorite types of main characters: Ones that fall in love too quickly/easily. One book that deserved a sequel: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, would’ve liked a continuation vs the second book with a new story line. Grave Love by Audrey Rush as well, for the same reason. Do you read physical books or digital: Both, I read several physical and digital books at the same time. How much do you read a week: Depends on the week, but I typically spend 2-3 hours reading everyday.

Okay came along this little gem from book tok and it gave me such a delighted giggle thinking about all of us out there with steamy spicy kindles *giggles*
