There's only been 1 book where I've given my characters pets. Normally, I'll lose track of a dog by Chapter 5 and then delete them altogether 😭 In I'LL CONJURE FOR YOU, the rabbit is a familiar for my witch and the dog is the companion of her love interest. They have their roles and I love them 🥹💞

I am in the middle of @charishreidauthor.bsky.social's MICKEY CHAMBERS SHAKES IT UP and it is so thoroughly charming and delightful. It's always a great feeling to read a great romance novel, but it's particularly lovely in this shitty moment to have this refuge. charishreid.com/mickey-chamb...

The perfect time to curl up with a spooky love story that features a B&B owner and the cameraman sent to document her haunted business. I'll Come Back For You: shorturl.at/y0pCa

Happy Perchtentag!!! It’s the celebration of Frau Perchta, a winter goddess and figure in German folklore, who’s sometimes considered a female counterpart to Krampus.

READ ME SLOW is in B's "horniest book" category!! 🥹❤️ My MMC would like to accept this award on my behalf, lol:

I got this book for Mr R. for Christmas and he devoured it in two days. Then he gave it to me—an equally Cold War-obsessed reader—and told me "to get into it NOW." I'm half way into it and can tell you that this is straight up horror. I've never read non-fiction that was so horrifying.

I'm going to try making oxtail stew tomorrow (never done it before), and all I've got is the oxtails, lol! I don't have a Ninja or a pressure cooker, but I've got moxie! WE'RE WINGING IT, BABY!

I read Kick at the Darkness by Suleikha Snyder. It's a zombie apocalypse novella, yet so emotionally intense, and the central couple has such history and a complex romantic journey, and the HEA is so fulfilling despite the bleak world... HOW?! I love reading skillful romance. This genre is hard.

Tropes for READ ME SLOW—October 28th shorturl.at/g8d3l 🎧 May/December 🎙 Romance author 🎧 Horror podcaster 🎙 Only one mic 🎧 Brother’s best friend 🎙 We'll do "everything but" 🎧 Voice kink 🎙 Secret relationship 🎧 He falls first 🎙 No 3rd act breakup

Nia Òla said on tiktok: "Covid is our time's lead paint," and I can't get this out of my head. Generations after us (if we can ever get this bus back on the road) are going to be so confused by our behavior.

READ ME SLOW is a high-heat/low-angst novel about a romance author and the horror podcaster she accidentally hires to narrate her book. She’s 45 and so stressed 😭 He’s 30 and her little brother’s best friend 🫣 📆Out October 28! AMZ: shorturl.at/piegI B&N: shorturl.at/aThXr

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

He's absolutely right. Because the Illinois mentions in this book are ABUNDANT. From my own experience, hanging out in Carlinville and Herrin kept me vigilant 😰

Its fascinating to watch Javen go from feeling like he "won a prize" to acting like he couldn't care less about this woman. It's almost cruel to witness Katisha be treated like an object to be discarded. "Huh, you were upset last night?" he says with a cheeky grin. #loveisblinduk

Being transplants in that part of Arkansas? They really ought to be worried about other White people, lol!

If you have time, go to Disney+ and watch Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time for a refresher on how tragic natural/man-made disasters are. 2005 was 20 years ago, but it's a blueprint for what could happen again. Soon. Racism, climate crisis, failed policy, "Shock Doctrine"...this will happen again

The random idea 🤝🏾 The book READ ME SLOW October 28, 2025 Preorder: shorturl.at/5ZV0G

READ ME SLOW (Oct 28) shorturl.at/5ZV0G She’s an indie romance author on deadline. He’s her new narrator… and her little brother’s best friend. Their 1st recording session? Electric. His voice? Filthy. When she uses his mic? He's finished. 🎧 May/December 🎙️ Voice kink 💥 Forced proximity

You know what would make me really happy? A Christopher Guest mockumentary about the acquisition, set up, and opening of a Spirit Halloween store.

The human body is so weird and bizarre to me... Two months ago, I suffered a violent fingernail ablation. Cuticle too 😭😭 I've been cleaning and dressing it every single day since, and sure enough—the smallest sliver of nail is coming back?? As far as I'm concerned, It's a goddamn miracle! 🙌🏾
