Heading to the local Farmers market today! But first, a relaxing reading morning 📚💙 Hubby asked how my “bird book” is going. Now I can’t unsee these character designs 🤣

period. #booksky #bookish #bookmeme #reading

The Crimson Throne by @sararaaschbooks.com @bethrevis.bsky.social 5🌟 True YA (ages 13+) but I didn’t care because I was here for the vibes ✨ THIS is the crafty fae I crave in fantasy, but make it Outlander and zero🌶️, but big on yearn! Teen me would have made it my whole personality 🫶 #netgalley 📚💙

Ep. 5 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino Ans: Story inside is PRETTIER! & mother👏effing👏queer👏normative! Releases tomorrow 09/23/2025📚💙 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The Second Death of Locke by VL Bovalino 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Friends to lovers, but don’t judge by that alone! The magic system was unique, world building was rich, and story was very queer normative! LOVED it 💙📚 #netgalley #TheSecondDeathofLocke www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Ep. 4 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross Ans: Yes x1000000!! I loved it! You don’t even have to get an SE, just enjoy! (Standalone or can read Divine Rivals duology if desired) 💙📚

Ep3 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Thorn Season by Kiera Azar Answer: Yes! 5🌟 Upper YA, court intrigue, betrayals, mystery solving & an interesting power system! 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

My August 2025 reading wrap up! WHOO! Quite possibly the best reading month so far this year! 📚💙 📚🪐 #booktok #booksky

Ep2 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas Ans: maybe this will be up your alley… but not for me. Fanfic vibes all over & too dark humor 💙📚 #booktok www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I identify as a threat. My pronouns are try/me.

Now presenting a segment I like to call ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the quality of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry Answer: NOPE. Final 10% is enthralling but FMC exclusively asks questions as a form of communication 💙📚

Thorn Season by Kiera Azar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Halfway thru I forgot it was YA! Female rage vibes like Hunger Games, dealt with self suppression and betrayal and dark themes of persecution, all set in a royal court with magic-like powers. Zero spice, and didn’t miss it! 💙📚 #ThornSeason #NetGalley

I was just sent my first widget AAAHHH 🥹🎉😭 @michaellaborn.bsky.social @falenciajfwrites.bsky.social I am so excited for this one!

Make a band edible! 🎶 Limp Bizkits & Gravy

I’m a day late, but Happy Release Day to ARTIFICIAL WISDOM!! 📚💙 🎉 Yay and congrats to @tomweaver.bsky.social If you’re looking for a 5🌟 techno thriller murder mystery, this is the one!

Throne Seeker by Jamie June ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 ✅ DO read this if: dating simulator games full of will-they-won’t-they’s are your favorite! 🛑 DON’T read this if: you absolutely loathe face touching in books between MCs Thank you to The Nerd Fam for the gifted eARC! #thethroneseeker #thenerdfam

@badwonton.bsky.social nailed today’s vibes!

Happy National Book Lovers Day! One of my favorite local indie bookstores, Artisans in Everett, ran a promotion today that every book purchase participated in a Blind Date with an ARC! 💙📚 👀

Life update - we built a home gym in the garage!! Now entering my VALKYRIE ERA!! #fitnesssky #booksky

The Green Bone Saga by @fondalee.bsky.social 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the trilogy, hands down! Took me 3 months but I finally finished, and I get it now!! Holy cow - these characters and their personal and political reactions felt REAL! Some of the best fleshed out world building I’ve ever read. Chefs kiss! 💙📚

Happy Release Day to HOUSE OF THE BEAST!! My first ever ARC 💕🎊 The art interspersed throughout is delightful, story is YA leaning, and Gothic vibes are on point! 🦇 💙📚

The inordinate joy this hat brings me. And makes me crave a cowboy romance… If you have a recommendation, please shoot it my way! 📚💙

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood ⭐️⭐️1/4 Now, look… You can’t keep calling the modern day Mr Darcy MMC a grandpa or joking he’s old enough to be your dad, and then be surprised he doesn’t want to date you! And FMC was just BEGGING him the whoooole time to date her. Just not for me. 💙📚

Went book shopping with friends yesterday and got my first ‘Blind Date with a Book’ at Lovestruck in Seattle! 💙📚

My July 2025 reading wrap up! 📚💙 Not pictured, 2 ARCs: Rumoured by the Mancaruso sisters and Zomromcom by Olivia Dade

We're three days away from the paperback launch of TWOW! Seems like a perfect moment to run a giveaway for three copies, signed by me and mailed to you! Enter below! (Limited to North America unfortunately.)

When a book is so pretty it basically catapults to the top of the TBR 📚💙 ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒˡᵈᵉʳ ᵇᵒᵒᵏˢ ᵒⁿ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵀᴮᴿˀ— WOW HAHA WHO SAID THAT??

💙📚 Someone asked me this today, and it STRESSED ME OUT enough to make this handy graphic that I will save on my phone so that this travesty of a conversation never happens again. #booksky

Happy anniversary to the best hubby ever!! (You’re just going to have to believe me when I say our niece is the cutest! Lobster roll was a paid actor 🦞)

ZomRomCom by Olivia Dade 3.25⭐️ Picture the cityscape of Attack on Titan; ALL the monsters found in True Blood; millennial-coded jokes and running gags that had me giggling; and scary fast, brain eating zombies, the likes found in 28 Days Later. BUT I craved more yearning… 📚💙 #Zomromcom #NetGalley

Hey there! 👋 I want to start by saying: please prioritize Palestinian families, immigrant legal funds, and trans peoples' relocation efforts before this post if you can. However, my partner and I are in a really tough place financially and I could really use a boost. ebay.us/m/6BBLc4

they should invent larger little free libraries

You influenced me @mo.seeks.quest ! Terror at the Gates by Scarlett St Clair 3.75⭐️ Lilith is a menace in the best way, full of feminine rage! The world was unique but also familiar. Only complaint - she cried every other chapter, and for good reason! But our girl gotta be dehydrated! 🌶️📚

Rumoured by The Mancaruso Sisters 4.5⭐️ Whelp, this tickled that guilty pleasure part of my brain that rubbernecks at pop culture conspiracy theories in the best way! Good beach read mystery, great debut! 💙📚 #Rumoured #NetGalley @netgalley.bsky.social

For a girls weekend, challenge was to pick up the most unhinged romance possible. I’m cheating and bringing two, but… Think I’ll win? 😈 📚🌶️

Hammajang Luck by @makana-yama.bsky.social Hear ye, hear ye! Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, pick this one up if you crave a genuinely fun heist romp, speculative future tech, wonderful representation, and just wish the world of Oceans 11 would collide with the ragtag of Guardians of the Galaxy 💙📚

Rose in Chains by Julie Soto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a great audio book, great narrator! Only big critique is I found myself googling who each character was in relation to Harry Potter. Ultimately was still engaging without the HP aspect, but def check trigger warnings! 📚💙 #netgalley #roseinchains

My June 2025 reading wrap up! Feels like I didn’t read much but I could swear I was hustling?? Not pictured, 2 ARCs - Pitcher Perfect by Tessa Bailey and Rose in Chains by Julie Soto! 📚💙

Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Horror fans, add this one to your TBR! The creeping unease and tension had me staying up reading past my bedtime. But the love component was a surprise and had me snotty crying on a plane. Immaculate!! #horror 📚💙 📚🪐

Good morning! Couldn’t sleep, but I caught the sunrise 💛

Pitcher Perfect by Tessa Bailey 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My first sporty romance was a chefs kiss of a beach read!! The spice was spicing, the mmc was simping, and the hijinx / real life family pressures were perfectly balanced. Fabulous, even as a stand alone! 💙📚 #PitcherPerfect #NetGalley

Just got approved for an advanced copy of this audio book AAAHHHH!! Immediately started!!

A Spell for Change by Nicole Jarvis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4 My first speculative history! Total mash up of the movies VVITCH (for the old timey spooky magic) and The Conjuring (for the Christian/exorcism overtones), but cut down the terror and pacing by half. Try to guess the end! 💙📚 #ASpellforChange #NetGalley

It’s tiiime!! I made it to the tandem read! Did you utilize the tandem read on your first read thru? I asked a couple friends and it was recommended to me - I’m kind of nervous but excited! #tog #tandemread #teammanon 💙📚

My May 2025 reading wrap up! 📚💙 Not pictured, 2 incredible ARCs read this month: Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross and Black Salt Queen by Samantha Bansil!

Happy #Pride!! 🌈 All love stories, all identities, and all representations deserve to be on bookshelves, celebrated this month and every month. This is a small part of my TBR for June. If you’ve got an LGBTQIA+ rec, let me know! 📚💙 @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social @makana-yama.bsky.social

Black Salt Queen by @sambansil.bsky.social is one to add to your TBR if you enjoy slow burn reveals of characters and motivations, court intrigue, complicated feelings and relationships - and enemies to lovers AND lovers to enemies! Thank you for the influence @kevintnorman.bsky.social 💙📚

After a looong hiatus, it’s time to return to Erilea! #booksky
