Since you finished the Harry Potter series are you gonna read the Percy Jackson series? Also you hit it in the head with Certain Hunger, it wasn't just that she was a psychopath but she loved the attention of being one. In fact I believe that the main character stated that she loved the attention she got from the press, the student psychologists, and from her family. I actually liked the book especially when her friend revealed she lied in court.

When you mentioned a few videos ago that Spotify had audiobooks I jumped because I have had Spotify Premium for ages and I’ve always wanted to listen to audiobooks but since I already had a Spotify subscription and I’m kinda broke lol I couldn’t afford both Spotify and buying audiobooks in other platforms. When I went onto Spotify though I couldn’t find the audiobooks anywhere. I thought there was something wrong with my account but then I found out that the audiobooks are only available in the US, UK, and Australia, and as someone who doesn’t live in any of these countries I want to scream so so loud and sob HARD because I can only listen to music and podcasts even though I have a premium account 😭
