This was listed as one of the best books of 2025, and I think I agree. I read this for book club. My book club had mixed feelings, but this book hit me right in the feels and tapped the nostalgia for my 20's. I cried at the end, so not fair. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 💙📚 #booksky #bookreview

It's been awhile since I've posted here. This book was a pretty wild ride. Stealing your twin's influencer life after finding her dead on the floor? I mean, who wouldn't? Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 💙📚 #booksky #bookreview #bookrecommendations

✨BOOK REVIEW: Savage Blooms by S.T. Gibson Creepy, sexy vibes & the Scottish Highlands! The focus is on fascinating bisexual characters & their insta-lust at the mysterious Craigmar. I need the next book! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Happy Monday! I'm feeling very bleh. At least my reading is interesting. What I'm Reading: 🎧: The Night Swim - Megan Goldin 📘: Savage Blooms - S. T. Gibson 💙📚 #booksky #currentlyreading

🎧The Bright Side Running Club - Josie Lloyd 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 While it does deal with the topic of cancer, I found this whole story of female friendship to be really cute & uplifting. Now, my thoughts on running? Ew, gross, that sounds terrible. What do y'all think? Do you guys run? 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

Happy Monday! Do any of you bowl? I bowled a 166 in my bowling league yesterday and I'm stoked. I'm typically a 110-120 bowler. Haha. Currently Reading: 🎧: Lady Eve's Last Con - Rebecca Fraimow 📘: Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk 💙📚 #booksky

The God of the Woods - Liz Moore Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘 Genre: Mystery, Historical Fiction I love a twisty family drama that revolves around a mystery. It's like catnip to me. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

What's your favorite classic? Mine is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. The Bell Jar is a compelling read, beautifully written, but there are racist ideas and thoughts sprinkled throughout. So, keep that in mind. 💙📚 #booksky

What are you reading this week? My Plans This Week: 🎧: The Bright Side Running Club - Josie Lloyd 📘: The God of the Woods - Liz Moore. This is for @thebookanalysts.bsky.social BOTM. I think I suggested this one too, so I couldn't just not read it. Haha. 💙📚 #booksky #currentlyreading

What's your favorite book-to-screen adaptation? Or your least favorite? I found a bunch on my shelf, and it's not even all of them, but I'm curious about what y'all think. Not pictured here is All Systems Red. I thought Apple TV did a decent job with their rendition of Murderbot. 💙📚 #booksky

4.5⭐ Wonderful book about some amazing women. I loved the characters and the focus on the strong bonds of female friendship. Especially when they face off against societal standards. Know a book about strong friendships? Drop me a comment! 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews ⏳📚

Happy Monday! What's new with you? Reading anything interesting? Life highlights for me: ✨Celebrated my SIL's birthday. She's the best. ✨My son's team won their soccer game, and my kid actually did pretty well. ✨The Denny's in my town closed. Boo! 💙📚 #booksky #currentlyreading

A great book and a fantastic sequel! This mystery is a whirlwind of danger with a ticking clock, but it's really all about watching Kem and Rika's relationship grow as they solve the latest curse together. Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social and @netgalley.bsky.social! 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Scavenger Hunt! # in the title: The Atlas Six Name in the title: Get a Life, Chloe Brown Color in the title: Red Rising Setting in the title: In a Dark, Dark Wood Animal in the title: Six of Crows One-word title: You >500 pages: Anna Karenina <300 pages: The Last Tycoon 💙📚 #booksky #scavengerhunt

A suburban thriller? Say no more. I love neighborhood drama, especially when it's not my neighborhood. With cheating spouses, lies, betrayal, and murder, this book has it all. I was hooked the whole time. Have you read any books like that recently? 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews ⚡️📚

Alright, we're heading into fall, and I'm going to change my decorations tomorrow! I've already started with this one little bird. These are some witchy books I found on my shelf. Any recommendations? 💙📚 #booksky #bookrecommendations

Happy Monday! Are there any podcasts that you would recommend? I've been listening to one about the p*rn industry that's been super interesting. What I'm reading: 🎧: One True Loves - Taylor Jenkins Reid 📘: The Last Soul Among Wolves - Melissa Caruso 💙📚 #booksky #currentlyreading

Have you read any Chuck Tingle yet?! This one isn't as good as Bury Your Gays, but still a solid 3.75/5 stars. Highly recommend for the creepy religious vibes and amazing main character! 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🩸📚

❓Do you prefer single POVs or multiple POVs? This one bounces around POVs, sometimes quite suddenly. But overall, I loved this blend of historical fiction and magic. The idea of the "time space" and time walking were so fascinating. Thanks Atria and NetGalley! 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Whatcha reading? Anything good? As for me: 🎧Camp Damascus - Chuck Tingle. I love Rose Darling. 📘A Mother's Guide to the Apocalypse - Hollie Overton. This book hooked me in from Chapter 1. Amazing and chilling. Thank you @orbitbooks.bsky.social for this eARC! 💙📚 #booksky #currentlyreading

Do you have a Half Price Books near you? This is my mini haul from my trip to Ohio. Have you read any of these? The Wolf Den - Elodie Harper Tender is the Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica Ink Blood Sister Scribe - Emma Torzs The Family Chao - Lan Samantha Chang 💙📚 #booksky #bookhaul #neverendingTBR

In your opinion, what book had the perfect ending? 4.25 ⭐. I loved the way the author decided to end this series, particularly in this book. It was such a wonderful conclusion to the trilogy, even if the pacing was a little off. And OMG, yes, a cute throuple. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Have you read any Chuck Tingle? This gets 4.25 ⭐, but let me tell you, I was skeptical going in. This is the person who wrote Space Raptor Butt Invasion and I’m Gay for My Living Billionaire Jet Plane. I ended up loving this book, though. The audiobook is fantastic. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read Do you like cliffhangers? I can't stand them, I'm too impatient. I was glad that I was immediately able to dive into Book 3 after this! This is definitely a lot slower than the first book, but it's a great lead into Book 3. Lots of info and world-building. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Happy Tuesday! What are you up to? What are you reading? 🎧: Good Inside - Dr. Becky Kennedy 📘: The Nightshade God - Hannah Whitten I'm going camping this weekend and that's going to be a lot of fun. 💙📚 #booksky #whatthisweek #currentlyreading

4.5 Stars. This book was so much fun. I love a weird religious cult and death magic. Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social and NetGalley for the free copy ahead of Book 3!!! So excited. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

❓What have been some of your favorite books of 2025? I have had six books that were worthy of five stars. I'm actually pretty pleased with this because that's the same amount of five-star reads I had for the entirety of 2024. 💙📚🪐📚 #booksky #2025reads

What magical power would you want and why? I love the idea of power over plants, but I want teleportation. It's the only way I'd get to travel. Haha. This Poison Heart is such a great read. I loved the Black witchy vibes, poisonous plants, and Greek mythology. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Happy July! What are you reading this month? Anything you'd recommend? I have way too much on my NetGalley TBR, and it's shaming me every time I look at it. LOL. 💙📚 #booksky #julyTBR #neverendingTBR 🪐📚

Happy Monday and Happy July! What did you guys read in June? Any favorites? My favorite read was Chain-Gang All-Stars. Amazing read! Repost because I forgot to update the rating for This Poison Heart in my graphic. Haha 💙📚 🪐📚 #booksky #readingwrapup

❓Can a fictional story change the way you see real-world systems? This book was hard to read and review, but the writing is phenomenal. It's such a powerful story that holds a mirror up to our deeply flawed prison system. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

Whenever I'm in Sacramento, I can't help myself. I have to pop into the Half Price Books and see what's available. Have you read any of these? 💙📚 🪐📚 #booksky #bookhaul

Happy Monday! What are you up to? What are you reading? What I'm Reading: 🎧: This Poison Heart - Kalynn Bayron 📘: The Foxglove King - Hannah Whitten What I'm Watching: Ted Lasso Murderbot 💙📚 🪐📚 #booksky #currentlyreading #currentlywatching

❓If you had to be cosmically bound to a place, where would it be? One Last Stop - Casey McQuiston 4.25 ⭐ This is a love story wrapped in subway magic, quirky friendships, and a warm found family. It’s a little chaotic, a lot unrealistic, and completely charming. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

Happy Monday!!! What I'm Reading: 🎧: This Poison Heart - Kalynn Bayron 📘: Chain-Gang All-Stars - Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. What about you? 💙📚 #booksky 🪐📚

What’s something in a book that instantly makes your skin crawl? For me, it's bugs, lots of bugs. *shudders* And this book has a scene where there is basically a swarm of ladybugs in her room. I would have been gone. 😂Other than that, great vibes, loved it. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

❓If you could rewrite a piece of history with magic, which era would you choose? Tudor-era fantasy? With a side of sapphic yearning and destroying the patriarchy? Yes please. Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social and @netgalley.bsky.social for the eARC! 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

❓What book was required reading in school, but you absolutely loved it? My son finished 7th grade today. It got me thinking about books I had to read for school. For me, one of the books I always enjoyed was The Joy Luck Club. I read it in high school & college. 💙📚 #booksky #thejoyluckclub #amytan

✨TBR Spotlight✨ ❓What's your favorite sapphic romance? One book on my TBR is "Can't Spell Treason Without Tea" by Rebecca Thorne. I do keep nominating it for the BOTM for @thebookanalysts.bsky.social, but it never wins. Haha. 💙📚 #booksky 🪐📚

What was your favorite read in May? Here's my reading wrap-up. It was a mixed bag, but I loved: Nettle & Bone - T. Kingfisher Aftertaste - Daria Lavelle The Knight and the Moth - Rachel Gillig Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia 💙📚 #booksky #readingwrapup

Would you stay in a murder house? I think I would, but I'm not sure. Haha. A slow, simmering story about messy friendships, creative women, mediocre men, and one very cursed Italian villa. Not a thriller, but I was hooked. The vibes are strong and the drama is real. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews

Happy Monday! What's the last book you DNF'ed? I just yeeted The Third Gilmore Girl, and it's for my IRL book club. 😬 What I'm Reading: 🎧: A House with Good Bones - T. Kingfisher 5% 📘Six Wild Crowns - Holly Race 23% (eARC) 📘Chain-Gang All-Stars - Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah 💙📚 #booksky #DNF

What are you reading this June? Any summer plans? I'd like to get some backpacking done, some day hikes, and go on a vacation. A vacation at a real hotel. Haha. Fingers crossed. And, as always, I hope to get some reading done while I melt in the 100F+ heat. 🔥 💙📚 #booksky

What do you think about animal characters? Do you have a favorite? Because I'm pretty sure I would die for the chicken with a demon in it and Bonedog. This was such a whimsical and creepy book. I loved it. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚

Have you read this? Do you have any recommendations for similar books? 4.25 ⭐ The way this story unravels is weird and unsettling in the best way. I had such a great time listening to it. It's a pretty slow book overall, but it worked really well in the audiobook. 💙📚 #booksky #bookreviews 🪐📚
