If you ever want to read a train wreck omg it’s this one. It’s gossip and pettiness and drama and racism and patriarchy and tbh with everything written the way it was, I felt like such an eavesdropper myself. Definitely me sitting there like 👀🍿#TheOperator #GretchenBerg #HistoricalFiction #Booksky

I loved this one. Phoebe’s life falls apart in a devastating way and she’s straight up planning suicide, but then! Turns out everyone else in the hotel is here for a wedding and one thing leads to another in the best way. I LOVE a story with character growth. #TheWeddingPeople #AlisonEspach #Booksky

I finished reading another book but it was kinda disappointing - and I’m not going to get on here to complain, I’m here for joy - sooooo here is a picture of my dog lol

I went into this one hoping it would be warm and cozy and full of autumn vibes and absolutely that’s what I got. It’s sweet and it’s charming and I had a lovely time ❤️ #FallingLikeLeaves #MistyWilson #Booksky

Y’all I am completely in love with this series. All four of the books are great and THIS ONE. Omg. The drama. The intrigue. The painting that made me so mad I couldn’t get to sleep last night 😂 The duel! And Jonathan and Juliet ❤️😭 #TheRushworthFamilyPlot #ClaudiaGray #MurderMystery #Romance #Booksky

I finished the sequel! FAB ❤️ I’ve finally realized what this reminds me of. If you know Dark Shadows? I don’t know if it was in the original too but in the Tim Burton, the jealous ageless witch harassing the family? This is that plus Coraline. #TheMirror #NoraRoberts #Paranormal #Romance #Booksky

I’ve been a Nora Roberts fangirl since I read Dance Upon the Air. Her writing style is lovely - it’s easy to get into and get invested with her books. This one ENDS ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER MA’AM WTF 😭 I’ve already started the sequel because MA’AM #Inheritance #NoraRoberts #Paranormal #Romance #Booksky

All I had to read in the description was “Norway’s all-time best thriller” and I was like heck yes sign me up. It’s from 1942! The setting is insanely spooky, really atmospheric, absolutely gorgeous, and the ending reminds me of Psycho, actually, the way it flows. #DeDødesTjern #AndréBjerke #Booksky

This is a nice cozy little murder mystery. I had a lot of fun with the whodunit parts but also the festive bits are a hoot - even tho I was like “Ma’am you’re suspected of murder(s!!!), I would forgive you for postponing Thanksgiving” 😂 omg #TheDivaRunsOutOfThyme #KristaDavis #MurderMystery #Booksky

Ooooo y’all this book was great. It was a little bit of a slow burn at first but I couldn’t put it down once things really started cooking. Very twisty turny, very mysterious, and omg so tense. That whole last chapter had me like 👀🍿#Hunter’sGreen #PhyllisAWhitney #Romance #Suspense #Mystery #Booksky

This novel was written in 1897 and it is WILD. We got shapeshifting, we got hypnosis, we got kidnapping, we got blood cults and human sacrifices, we got a ridiculous amount of xenophobia, we got train wrecks and explosions. 1897??? WTF RICHARD 😂 #TheBeetle #RichardMarsh #SupernaturalHorror #Booksky

This book is so cute! Enemies to allies to lovers is a pleasing plot arc, and the characters are very fun. I DO want to know more of the backstory of what happened with the Duke and his wife, but that’s just me being nosy lol #HowToLoseALordInTenDays #SophieIrwin #RegencyRomance #Booksky

If you took Identity and blended it with Blink Twice (both of which are solid films and I love them) you’d end up with something like this novel. Y’all, it’s HEAVY. It’s layered and it’s stressful and it’s such a fun read omg. #OneOfUsKnows #AlyssaCole #Thriller #Booksky

The plot to this one is pretty straightforward - woman gets brutally dumped by asshole boyfriend so woman goes on selfcare journey and finds both herself and love - and I had such fun reading it ❤️ (And the ✨SPICE✨ is… 😳🥵 …entertaining) #SavvySheldonFeelsGoodAsHell #TajMcCoy #Romance #RomCom #Booksky

I’ve had a really good weekend 🥰 I’ve introduced my sister to Gilbert and Sullivan. Y’all, if you ever did want to see Pinafore, the Opera Australia version is sooo good. I love the costumes and I love the staging and every time I watch it I have a good time. #HMSPinafore #GilbertAndSullivan

Y’all should find the audiobook of this one. It adds sound effects and Richard Armitage has the nicest voice ever. AND THE PLOT OH MY GODDD. It’s intense. It’s intense like you would not believe. Super dark. Also! There’s a Labrador named Columbo ❤️ #BeautifulUgly #AliceFeeney #Thriller #Booksky

I NEEEED y’all to watch Cuban Fury. I love it so much. The plot is adorable, the cast is perfection, I’ve watched it half a dozen times, it makes me so happy. ALSO??? Kayvan Novak is legit one of the most beautiful men to ever exist and I’m glad he got to be Nandor after this ❤️ #CubanFury #Moviesky

OMG Y’ALL THIS BOOK. It’s brilliant. It hops around between characters, always close third POVs but several different people, and I was enthralled the whole entire time. Things just Keep Happening OMG. #WhenDevilsSing #XanKaur #SouthernGothic #Booksky

This is legit my favorite scene from Hamlet. My sister and I just watched the Branagh version together today. I’d seen it before (and Olivier and Hawke but y’know it’s such a good play) but it was her first time, and when we got to this line she went OOOOOOH 😂 gettem. #Hamlet #Shakespeare

Oh my god. Oh. My. God. This book. I had my hand over my mouth for what felt like twenty minutes there at the end. I DID NOT see it coming. I’ll tell ya. I finished the book. I sat with it a couple minutes. And I just started crying. It got me, y’all. It got me. #TheMaidens #AlexMichaelides #Booksky

This novel is so much fun! It’s vivid. There’s imagery and depth and drama. I love the main character, I loved watching her grow, and I’m absolutely gonna get hold of the next book in the series to see where she goes from here. #Legendborn #TracyDeonn #Fantasy #Booksky

“A Comedy of Terrors,” absolutely I agree with that descriptor. The acting is SO GOOD, this cast is perfect and it was nice to see Michael Palin. I’ll tell ya, I did one hell of a double take because I thought Stalin was Martin Freeman in prosthetics 😂 he’s not, I checked #TheDeathOfStalin #Moviesky

This book was real fun to read. I didn’t expect some of the twists and turns. Like (only vague spoilers) the thing that happened at the hospital! I genuinely thought he was gonna make it out. I’m excited it’s a series too - the main character is feisty in the best way #DesertHeat #J.A.Jance #Booksky

My sister and I found a competition show where people compete to make pottery and it got us curious to try it ourselves, and we went to a studio and we made our own little things and I’m so proud of how mine turned out ❤️ they’re the first I’ve ever made on a wheel! #Pottery #TheGreatPotteryThrowDown

Crazy Ex Girlfriend was SUCH A GOOD SHOW. It’s goofy good fun and it’s also deep and meaningful and it’s made me cry (repeatedly, I won’t even lie). Genuinely genius work and I’ll die on this hill. The costumes were great and the casting was great and I miss it so much. #CrazyExGirlfriend

This book is so heavy omg. Horrible horrible things happen and the injustice is infuriating. But it’s genuinely good. It’s wonderfully written and I was invested the whole entire time. #RainbowBlack #MaggieThrash #Booksky

The Man With Two Brains is so good. Steve Martin is hilarious and also it’s SO ROMANTIC OH MY GOD. I adore stories where people fall in love at the soul level. It makes me so happy. I don’t have enough space to rant about how great this movie is lol you just gotta trust me 😂 #TheManWithTwoBrains

Literally every time my birdie girl gets onto a plane my brain starts singing that Wild Blue Yonder song. I blame The Rescuers for it more than anything 😂 I am so jealous of her. I wanna go exploring too 😭 #Finch #SelfCare #Travel

I found another massive murder mystery series and lemme tell ya I am here for the ride. The first day she moves in and her dog BRINGS HER A HUMAN FINGER FROM THE BACKYARD. The mystery is pretty fun and there’s 26 more of these bad boys to go. #ArsenicInTheAzaleas #DaleMayer #MurderMystery #Booksky

This is the coal-mining mystery I was talking about! It’s got a great plot, a solid mystery, and the setting is fascinating. The racism sprinkled throughout is gross as hell but it’s a period piece, Wigan England in 1872, so I was real uncomfortable but not surprised. #Rose #MartinCruzSmith #Booksky

I’m reading a book right now (a historical mystery) that’s set in an old coal-mining town, and this line made me laugh. I knowww he meant the god of the forge, but I absolutely one thousand percent pictured Mr. Spock in period garb 🖖😂 #Vulcan

And now for something completely different lol I painted this turtle for my sister’s birthday and I’m really pleased with how he turned out 🥰 #Turtle #Ceramic #Art

The two different covers for this one crack me up. My library gave me the one with the snowy rose, Google gives me the weird proportioned one lol. I love the title, but it did take me some time to get into it. Her dad SOLD HER AT AUCTION?! I woulda murdered people. #ARoseInWinter #KathleenEWoodiwiss

This novel is just lovely. It’s got such a vibe. I love the characters and I loved reading this, and I’ll warn y’all right now, if you are emotional like me, there’s a chapter near the end where I just started weeping. Beautiful work. #TheHopeOfAzureSprings #RachelFordham #HistoricalRomance #Booksky

I love spooky books like this. I had questions the whole time, all the way to the end. The pacing was fantastic and the mystery of the thing is just 👀 I was legit invested. #TheMidnightClub #MargotHarrison #Mystery #Suspense #Booksky

I enjoy this series so much. I love the setting, the secret spy room, the hot British gardener, the recipes at the back. I’m going to read every single one of them, I swear. And the mystery in this one! So twisty turny omg. #MurderInATeacup #VickiDelany #MurderMystery #Booksky

This book was fun! Some of it was predictable but some did genuinely surprise me. The denouement dragged a bit, I think because there weren’t any more questions that needed answering and some of it could’ve been taken for given. But it’s a real fun setting. #TheHighTideClub #MaryKayAndrews #Booksky

Y’all. Superman was amazing. Solid script, solid acting, solid special effects. I loved the whole thing. Unbelievably huge recommend. And Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor oh my GOD. It’s always wonderful to watch him work. He’s an absolutely brilliant actor. #Superman #Moviesky

This is quite possibly the weirdest film I’ve ever watched in my life. I had no idea what I was getting into, and there’s no way to prepare for it 😂 It’s… if a silent film got Looney Tuned, with extra violence. It can’t be explained lol it has to be experienced #HundredsOfBeavers #Comedy #Moviesky

The sequel to Of Jade and Dragons also has political intrigue but this time there’s PIRATES. Things happen that are just 😦 (You could read the first one by itself if you wanted but you’d miss out, especially if you care about the relationships, we get TWO here ⛵️) #TheBloodPhoenix #AmberChen #Booksky

I loooooved this novel. The aesthetic is just top notch. Little bit of murder mystery, little bit of magic, little bit of pining, sign me tf up. I’ve already got hold of the sequel because yaaas. #OfJadeAndDragons #AmberChen #Booksky

This book is adorable! I had such a lovely time. The characters and plot are sweet and fun. I minored in theater at college and I was a girl this age once, so this felt like home to me. I would LOVE to see it as a movie! Someone call Nicola Coughlan #TheUnstoppableBridgetBloom #AllisonLBitz #Booksky

I had such a fun time with this book, it’s incredibly stressful and very thrilling. There’s a looot of death. Human death, animal death, lots of violence. I got so invested right away. And this is in the middle of a giant series! So I’ve got plenty more books to read lol. #WolfPack #C.J.Box #Booksky

I absolutely devoured this novel. Y’all should hear the audiobook, huge recommend. It HURTS, I’ll warn you right now. The abuse Eugene doles out on his wife and his kids… It’s horrifying. But the character development, especially Kambili, is fabulous. #PurpleHibiscus #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie #Booksky

This one is cute like the Pinup one was, but the overall vibe’s a bit different. Instead of enemies-to-lovers, there’s this star-crossed bad timing thing, where they both caught feels but REFUSE TO GO WITH IT. The ship was struggling so hard 😭😫 #AccidentallyInLove #DanielleJackson #Romance #Booksky

This book is genuinely lovely. It’s sometimes sad and heavy, but it’s beautiful. The way it ended kind of left a lump in my throat tbh. The funny thing is, I was halfway through before I realized this one was a Pulitzer winner lol I get to check another on my list! #TheGoldfinch #DonnaTartt #Booksky

I found my newest obsession. I love cooking competitions (Zumbo’s Just Desserts, the GBBS, etc) and I just know I’ll watch this whole show in a week. It’s got art and improv in it. Halfway through the challenge he throws them a new ingredient to incorporate. It’s so fun! Huge recommend. #SweetGenius

Yesterday I learned the Miyazaki film is an adaptation - today I read the book 😂 It’s not exactly the same plot, but the vibe is the same. It’s calm and cute, playful and lighthearted. I like knowing that she wrote it for her daughter too, that’s adorable. #Kiki’sDeliveryService #EikoKadono #Booksky

I’ve read the first ever Pulitzer winner now! 1918. I can see why it won but wow did I hate George 😂 he gets better eventually but UGH. (Also 😠 the racism here is in the narrative itself so it’s the author being racist and not just the characters 😒) #TheMagnificentAmbersons #BoothTarkington #Booksky

I love a good romcom, it’s legit one of my favorite genres, and this one’s adorable! Two rival photographers collab on a lingerie shoot and they enemies-to-lovers real fast. I love how vivid the imagery is too - it adores photography so much. #TheAccidentalPinup #DanielleJackson #Romance #Booksky
