novella time because I skipped it before, and it apparently has details relevant to book 7. this narrator is so much more slowly paced than what I’m used to that I can listen nearly twice as fast (compared to my norm). CR: Wyn by Lily Mayne 🪐📚🌶️ Narrated by Michael Lesley 🎧📚💙

idk how I didn’t see this until now, but: → Egotistical Puckboy is a bonus borrow from @hoopladigital.bsky.social this month! ← you have two more days to borrow it 🥳 and it doesn’t count towards your borrows, so you have no excuse to not listen 😏 #booksky #mmromance 🎧📚🌶️💜🌈

I just realized the books are <400 pages, but the audiobooks are ~15+ hours. which is a pet peeve. for how much this series has a grip on my conscious, I sure do have complaints about it :P anyway. CR: Seraph by Lily Mayne 🪐📚🌶️ Narrated by Michael Lesley 🎧📚💙 ready for that tongue action 👅

I am so frustrated with myself. I just need to upload some images & write a blurb about this project. it doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be done. but since I don't know the 100% "correct" way to do it, I keep avoiding it (spoiler: the only incorrect way is to not do it).

CR: Moth by Lily Mayne 🪐📚🌶️ Narrated by Michael Lesley 🎧📚💙 Charlie & Moth time 🥳 this book has shown up for me SO many times when looking for reads via romance.io tags 🤭😇 tho tbh I’m more invested in Lilac & Seraph, but the rest of the monstrous audiobooks are exclusives so idk what I’m gonna do.

I HAVE BUILT A HOUSE WHERE I WAIT FOR YOUR RETURN

onto hammer daddy with “pert, intriguing mounds,” and a biteable ass. lookit that tiny nip 🤏 CR: Gloam by Lily Mayne 🪐📚🌶️ Narrated by Michael Lesley 🎧📚💙 #currentlyreading #monsterromance

CR: The Rycke by Lily Mayne 🌶️📚🪐 Narrated by Michael Lesley 🎧📚💙 continuing the monstrous series! the last book felt a bit slow to me. I hear this one is two cinnamon roll mmcs being tortured, so, I don’t know if I’ll like it all that much 😬 but I want to finish the series, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

y’know, sometimes I feel really stuck. I want to move back to Charlotte. or maybe even Chicago. but being physically disabled with no safety net makes that feel like a reckless option. and I don’t want to miss my bff raising her daughter.

stuck in his old ways ffs

if I make a dating profile and put my ‘looking for’ as, “I want a boyfriend with a boyfriend,” what is the worst that will happen?

I also haven’t done one of these in a while. lookit all you lovely people 🥰

I spent all day yesterday thinking it was sunday. I specifically didn’t go pick up my scripts cause I thought the pharmacy was closed.

Here is the #Readzamas StoryGraph Challenge. The unofficial Nerdfighteria Summer Reading Program. Be sure to check out @sweet-carolyn.bsky.social 's page for the official bingo card of Readzamas. (Thank you Nerdfighter Carolyn for making my dreams a reality!) 🍕📚✨

I'm catching up on Secret Sleepover Society and Gamefee Tomodachi life and just getting myself so hyped about the game. also I missed these nerds. I barely watch vids anymore bc of how much I'm reading 😅

CR: Little Demon in the Details by Nordika Night Narrated by Liam Dicosimo & Gabriel Michael rec’d by: @xkirstyreadsx.bsky.social this is actually my first Nordika book! I’m surprised by that—I see her stuff all over my feeds. #CurrentlyReading #mmromance 🎧📚🌶️

hi hello #booksky 🌶️📚💬 would love some spicy audiobook recs where at least one character is an unapologetic Brat™ bonus points for: ✿ queer characters 🌈💜 ✿ contemporary romance ✿ disability and/or mental health rep thanks in advance 😇🥰😈

*design/marketing brain go brrrrrrr*

dear universe: a collab between MAPHRA & Janine Berdin would heal my soul. ty for the consideration 🙂‍↕️

more photos from that day that wall with ivy is so cool to me. I’ll have to see if I can find it again bc I was not paying attention to where I was going lol

apparently colbert is doing public access media now 👀 and Jack White was there! (this is like, an hour away from me) youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4

CR: His Alpha Unlocked by Anna Sparrows Narrated by Zachary Zaba 🎧📚💙 new-to-me author, picked this up on a whim. it sounds fun: wolf shifter, contemporary mm romance (with mpreg) where alphas are believed to be extinct (a twist!). oh, and they’re fated mates. #CurrentlyReading 🌈💜

get in loser, we’re screaming into the void.

me: allergic to gluten and dairy (not severe). me: eats 4 bagels with cream cheese in one day. me: complains about tummy problems. does this count as masochism or just idiocy?

CR: First Impressions by Jay Hogan 🌈💜 Narrated by Gary Furlong 🎧📚💙 got this from the Stuff Your Earbuds event earlier this month. I’ve read other books by this author, so I feel pretty good about this one. ✿ US ER doctor x NZ k9 officer ✿ single dad ✿ shameful past #CurrentlyReading #mmromance

if a person you see frequently in your neighborhood learns your name and always says hi are they just being neighborly? or do they want to be friends?

do you enjoy a sliced, salted raw potato as a snack? if yes, where are you from?

helllooooo hawke ☀️

well. I can now check off “witness a literal dumpster fire” from my 2026 bingo card.

CR: Tough Love by Heidi Cullinan 🌈💜 Narrated by Iggy Toma 🎧📚💙 this one apparently has: ✿ Drag Queen x Leather Daddy ✿ age gap, hurt/comfort ✿ Iggy adding a Texas accent to his twink voice ✿ lots of kink, but that’s not the main point of the story #CurrentlyReading #mmromance

this was weird but good! the in-depth poker instruction ended up being very relevant to the plot. the characters from the first book joined in for an mmmm scene, which was great. vulnerable, emotional, a little twisty, and still spicy. plus, kittens! and the characters go to therapy.

am I getting stories crossed, or is there a bonus chapter somewhere (from When the Moon Hatched) where Khan meets with his niece before Raeve performs?

and yet somehow along the way, you found a heart. ⋆⋅ ───────────── ⋅ #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #essekthelyss

starting the next in the series because I enjoyed Special Delivery much more than expected! CR: Double Blind by Heidi Cullinan 💜🌈 Narrated by Iggy Toma 🎧📚💙 this was also published in 2010, recorded in 2016. the last book had a iphone with 3G as a new kind of tech, which was amusing to relive.

I did not expect new Evanescence in 2026, but it is a nice surprise.

CR: Special Delivery by Heidi Cullinan Narrated by Iggy Toma 🎧📚💙 so, I discovered this in the depths of Hoopla. the book was published in 2010, and the narration was recorded in 2016. baby iggy sounds so much different, but it’s been a delight so far 🙂‍↕️ #CurrentlyReading #mmromance

okay. I am, in fact, going to miss the flower market. which means photo adventure time before/during golden hour in downtown Detroit 💫 → maybe we can make a game out of it? give me objects/colors/prompts to try and capture in-frame—like a scavenger hunt! ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

I want to go to the flower market event today. the problem: I’ve been awake for 26 hours (with a two hour nap). pretty sure sleep is claiming me soon. but I might miss the flower market event. h o w e v e r ~ I am charging my fancy camera’s batteries. so something cool will happen today

CR: Don’t Bang Your Stepbro by DJ Jamison 🌈💜 Narrated by Iggy Toma 🎧📚💙 two stepbrothers wake up married in Vegas, covered in cum. y’know, normal stepbro things. good thing their small town friends already are suspicious, but the MCs don’t know that. #CurrentlyReading #mmromance

I need more pokénerds to trade/share with pls
