Nobody asked but here are my thoughts on age gap romance books: •as long as they’re both adults when they meet and the younger half is at LEAST in their 20s, I’m a fan •NOT a fan if they are related or family in any way including step and/or adopted family members

I genuinely believe that my children have some kind of super power that allows them to bed fast asleep but wake up the second I decide to get out of bed a little early and read. It’s like clockwork every time.

I saw @gremlinlibrarian.bsky.social talking about the Prime Mating Agency series MONTHS ago and never picked them up… until yesterday morning and now I’ve finished book 1 and I’m halfway through book 2 (I’m obsessed) 😍 I should have listened to them sooner

Update: Jackie is the WORST. Absolute worst. GARBAGE. Will fight her in a Waffle House parking lot.

For Valentines Day my little were nice enough to gift me with ✨the flu✨ so I’ll be here, in bed, reading this queer read about two besties who get fake engaged so they can get fake married so one of them can get a green card (spoiler alert they fall in loooveee) OH and there’s autism rep

I’m gonna level with y’all. As much as I hate Amazon and Jeff Bezos, realistically I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up my kindle or kindle unlimited. There are so many reasons for this but honestly what it boils down to is: I’m broke and I’m queer.

I know we’re in the bad place because Mitch McConnell and I actually agreed about something.

Describe your taste in people using actors: BEFORE YOU COME FOR ME. Half of wrestling is acting so Rhea counts.

Yall need templates? #booksky

Once we buy this house, I swear I’m never moving again. Home buying is stressful, moving sucks, and I don’t wanna do it again 😭

I’ve been slacking on my book recs so let’s change that. If you too have felt the crippling weight of familial expectations, hate family vlog channels, and have memory problems (that aren’t magically induced) Read Spells to Forget Us by Aislinn Brophy

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

We went house hunting today and if there’s one note I can give anybody who is selling a home, PLEASE put some salt down if there’s gonna be snow and/or ice. I saw my life flash before my eyes when I slipped on ice on someone’s driveway and it ruined the vibes of the home 😭

I’m trying to do my bedtime doom scroll on YouTube shorts instead of my usual TikTok scroll and it’s AWFUL My kids use my YouTube account so every 3rd video is skibbidi toilet or something skibbidi adjacent 😭

Got annoyed and finally deactivated Threads because someone decided to try to compare banning TikTok to banning drunk driving

“Theres a huge difference between just reading a book and reading literature” “If you say you read 100+ books a year you’re lying” “Graphic novels shouldn’t count towards your reading goal” SHUT UP. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. Why do you care? The world is a dystopian hellscape, just let people LIVE.

Here’s a little post 🖤 #booksky

Ya know, past me didn’t really remember that end of the year reading wrapups are fun when they stopped tracking their reading in like August. I know I’ve read books this year, can’t tell you how many or what books I read when over the last few months

I think I’m going on a book buying ban for at least the first half of 2025. Why? Honestly it’s super simple, my husband and I are hoping to buy a house (or at minimum move out of my in laws house for the sake of my sanity) and I wanna save money. Plus that would be less books I’d have to move 💁

My biggest pet peeve in books will always bee when one of the mcs makes an off handed “joke” about how eating something sweet like ice cream will cause diabetes 😭 That’s not how that works, please I’m begging of you to stop

Real talk, if TikTok goes away y’all might never see my face again. You’ll see my content and so many books but taking pictures of myself makes me ✨uncomfy✨.

Christmas came a little early 😌❤️

Once again setting my 2025 reading goal to a whopping 1 book because I can and life is already stressful enough, why add another thing to stress about.

Obligatory picture of my current read and a little potato dog Lemme see your reading buddies 🐶🐱🐰

My husband just informed me that when people have asked him what I want for Christmas, he just sends them my book wishlist.. The wishlist that has Morning Glory Milking Farm on it. HELP.

Bookish things I’m leaving in 2024 1. Goodreads. Bestie it’s been real but I’m out. 2. Honestly that’s it, I didn’t have a second thing 🤷

How many copies of a book is too many, asking for a friend. Definitely not me because I already have the paperback of this ya sapphic dystopian with romance where one of them is a literal zombie on preorder

We listen and we don’t judge: Sometimes I check out books from the library that I have no intention of reading for the sole reason that I live in Indiana and want the library to see that people are still interesting in queer and/or diverse stories so they’ll keep buying the ones I request

The older I get the more I understand why my dad never let me touch the thermostat as a child Because who tf turned the air conditioner on when it’s 25* outside 😭

Popped straight out of a reading slump and have finished 8 holiday romance novellas in the last week. I feel so alive.

I’m pansexual. I mostly just think people are hot, gender’s not really a big deal to me. Hot is hot. I also just call myself queer or bi because the “does that mean you wanna bang pans” jokes are annoying

Nothing quite like reading Grinch themed erotic horror while watching the 2018 animated Grinch movie, to make you question your choices (the books great though)

Homemade. I’m also the only person in my family who likes cranberry sauce so I just make it the way I like every year.

Alright, I’ll bite. 1 like = 1 random piece of Lara lore

I survived Costco the Monday before Thanksgiving and I only cried once (misplaced my emotional support husband) So I totally deserve a little treat, right

I desperately need a book that’s Gossip Girl, BUT just Chuck and Blair’s relationship. Who has this.

Yeah never mind, turns out I will actually still be having heated political arguments, just with pro-lifers on Threads instead of with my family 😌

Hi, I’m God. Jesus said he wants you all to have free healthcare. Love, God

Oops, fell asleep before I remembered to do a 🌈 holiday post last night so here’s a 2 for 1 🎄 🎁 Hookup to Holidate by @rosesantoriello.bsky.social (sapphic monster romance with fake dating) 🎁 The Christmas Swap by Talia Samuels (sapphic fake dating but she falls for her fake boyfriend’s sister)

One of the perks of living 1100 miles away from my family is that there will be no heated political arguments during any of my holiday celebrations. I mean sure, they can try, but I can just ✨hang up✨ and that’s beautiful.

Just a little housekeeping for my new friends: ✨ when I say I love queer books, I’m talking about all queer identities ✨ audiobooks = reading ✨ this is a SJM, RY, CoHo, TJ Klune, Kate Stewart, etc free zone ✨ free Palestine ✨ diversify those bookshelves ✨ I LOVE my library 📚

I promised @dylslibrary.bsky.social that todays rec would be even gayer than the last so I present to you: The Perfect Gift by Clio Evans It’s an MMMF novella where a husband and wife are on a vacay, bring two lumberjacks in out of the snow, and everybody 💥 basically all spice, no plot

I made a blog just so I could have a consolidated place for my holiday romances 🫶🏼 www.theboricuabookworm.com/post/non-whi...

Once every 2-3 months or so, the stars align just right, and my brain decides to give me all the energy and productivity I need to be able to complete all the tasks I’ve been putting off. But, it only happens in the middle of the night. And that’s why I’m cleaning out my closet at 1:30am

Indigenous authors, did you know that @binderybooks.bsky.social has an imprint focused on Indigenous books? Boozhoo books was founded by @fromthemixedupdesk.bsky.social and will be accepting unagented manuscripts December 4th-6th. If you have a project ready for eyes on it, make sure you submit!

My favorite tropes are: 🖤 Second chance 🖤 Enemies to lovers (but only with fantasy) 🖤 Fake dating 🖤 Age gap 🖤 Forced proximity 🖤 Fake dating again but when they go home with someone for the holidays and fall in love with their sibling instead

Another day, another sapphic holiday rec 💅
