Two for Tuesday: Let It Burn!

These themes will vary! It could be based off of some book mail I just received, pop culture, something personal to me, a headline from the news, a trend I noticed when I was buying books for my library system, etc. I hope you stick around to see all the themes and book recs I come up with!

Today’s Theme: Let it Burn…

I have recently consumed a lot of media surrounding fire, whether big or small and I thought it was only right to talk about them! OF COURSE I had to start with King of Ashes. This book had me Googling the weirdest things when I was reading. I know the agent who watches my phone was hella worried lol Anyways, in this book, the MC and his family own a Crematorium. And this just opens up a whole can of worms about issues I never would have even thought of. And the twists and turns in this?! Y’all I was fighting for my life trying to keep up and make sure I didn’t miss anything. Because what they say is very true….. Everything Burns. [This book is Adult and will come out 06/10/25]

This one is another thriller I read that has something to do with fire. The MC lost everything in a fire. Just as she’s trying to rebuild her whole life, she realizes she also lost other things that weren’t in the fire. Her mom won’t answer and doesn’t want to come back this time. And to top it off, nothing in the rest of her life is as it seems. Everything implodes and she’s suddenly more alone than she’s ever been. The twists and turns in this one threw me for a loop too. I can’t really put into words the sound I made when I realized that everything is involved in this one. It’s hella crazy. [This book is YA and will come out 05/06/25]

Here’s Some of the Other Media I’ve Seen/Added to my TBR Lately….

I’m sure there’s more out there, but these are the ones that I’ve read or seen most lately. Up in Smoke has mention of remnants of a fire, but I still thought it should be included.

What about you? Have you read or seen any recent media where there was a fire? What did you think of them? Let me know in the comments!
