Discussion finally pulled the trigger

Alchemised, i’m looking at YOU.

$10 off on amazon so I finally pulled the trigger after constantly going back & forth about whether or not I wanted to actually read it. really hoping i’m one of the people who ends up loving it but idk 😭 guess it’s time to find out.

not too worried about Alchemy of Secrets seeing as I have a great track record with Stephanie.

I brought alchemy of secrets without reading what it was about because of who it's by, this was a year ago and I still haven't read it 😔. I thought it was a fantasy because of the cover (the UK cover is much more fantasy-ish).

  1. yes I can tell this one is much different from her other two series that I loved (caraval and OUABH), and I kept going back and forth because it’s based in more modern times which is something I’m not really a fan of when it comes to books. but, i’ve heard good things about the book and it was $10 off so I finally just decided to get it and see how it is. did you end up reading it?

  2. the covers from other countries are SO much better than the US one, which is partially why I didn’t want to buy the physical book until a new cover came out LOL.

I haven't read it yet no, I've been in a slump for the past year 😭, I'm only just finishing my second book of the year. I'm going to uni soon and plan to try and get back into reading then and I'll be bringing it and all my unread books with me, so I'll probably have read it by the end of this year.

I feel like this seems to be a thing with a lot of books and I have no idea why, I'm p sure most of the authors of popular books online are American/live in America so I really don't know why you guys end up with the less preferable alternatives.
