    A month of dark magic and deadly deeds:Isle of the GodsThe Foxglove KingLittle ThievesPainted DevilsKingdom of the WickedFourth WingLying in the DeepCursed CrownsGood Girl, Bad BloodAs Good As DeadKill JoyWelcome to One For My Bookshelf! This is a podcast all about books, mostly YA, NA, and adult fantasy, but also featuring the occasional mystery and contemporary book. In this first episode I spend debatably too long talking about what I read during May. It was a bit of a hit and miss month; I read some books that I absolutely fell in love with, others that left me disappointed, a few that I thought were just ok, and others that I found unfortunately forgettable. Looking back, I seem to have unintentionally ended up with a death themed month (but I'm not mad about it). Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy my bookish rambles!There will be a new episode up soon, with some more mini reviews - my June TBR is full of fantasy books that I will be sharing my thoughts on next!Instagram: @oneformybookshelf (Messages, thoughts, comments, recommendations, general bookish discussions etc. are all welcome - I am always up for talking about books!)

    Welcome to my new podcast all about books! I'm El, and I practically live in books, so I have finally made a place to talk about them. I mostly read YA & NA fantasy, with the occasional mystery and contemporary book in the mix, so a lot of episodes about fantasy books will be incoming. Hope you enjoy listening!
