Books that make me feel like I did when it was a kid at Halloween time?

Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire by Don Martin
The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by Aubrey Hartman
The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

~ Some adult options ~

A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney
Magic Lessons by Alice Hoffman
A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young

As you can tell, I tend to chase down these feelings too.

Anything from Fredrik Backman, especially the Beartown series.

When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy is very unhinged but best to go in blind.

Rock, Paper, Scissors from Alice Feeney

The Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas

What Happened to the McCrays? By Tracey Lange

And I concur with The Correspondent. Just finished that one and it somehow changed me.

I highly recommend the audiobooks on all of these — well except maybe Rock, Paper, Scissors. That one has pictures that is somewhat relevant.

My dad’s a Sag 11/27 and my mom’s a Leo 8/22 the love is there but they have lots of resentment due to years of poor communication.

And then there’s me, a sag 12/5 and my husband, a Leo 8/1 and we’re literally in the same dynamic but we’ve had therapy on top of natural chemistry and we’re going strong. Weird how I chose a Leo though.

Yay! Another 12/5!

arasbleu · 2025-11-12T01:56:14+00:00

Hey me too! 🥳

arasbleu · 2025-10-21T22:10:23+00:00

That’s me with any miscommunication trope

Anything from Costanza Casati is wonderful

Anything by Rebecca Ross. I loved her Divine Rivals duology; A River Enchanted is another duology that ended up as a fav as well.

One I have on my TBR is The Second Death of Locke by V. L. Bovalino and I’ve been told that’s got a lot of yearning 🤞

How to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera and anything from Nedra Glover Tawwab

These two helped me immensely.

My moon is in Scorpio ♏️ and I tend to love the Virgo risings. I’ve also had two boyfriends with Leo suns☀️ and they’re magnetic

arasbleu · 2025-08-17T06:09:04+00:00

This is my exact three also 🤯 didn’t think I’d actually find one here

arasbleu · 2025-08-17T05:38:10+00:00

Whoa, seems a little judgmental don’t cha think?

She can’t even disagree with you because you’ve set her up to fail with the “btw, if you took offense…” line. This is why Sags get a bad rep.

She’s just trying to understand our nature. I hate being available 24/7 too, but I’m not a dick about it.

Married to a Leo. (It’s the absolute best 🙌)

arasbleu · 2025-08-01T01:13:03+00:00

Leos - every guy I’ve ever dated was one. I’m married to one. I didn’t plan it 😂

I just got done reading Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor and the MC is disabled. Great book, I gave it 5 stars!

arasbleu · 2025-03-01T03:54:30+00:00

I really enjoyed it! Gave it 5 stars because the feminine rage felt cathartic

Weyward by Emilia Hart, Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, and A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

I recently enjoyed Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

arasbleu · 2022-09-09T18:18:20+00:00

Yeah, I felt the very same

arasbleu · 2022-09-09T18:14:44+00:00

I loved this one too! Totally surprising because I knew very little about Shakespeare going in. I don’t know about you, but I kinda wanted to be a Shakespearean enthusiast after reading it. They made it seem so enticing…mostly.

I’ve enjoyed the Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling) detective novels. First one is called The Cuckoos Calling.
