My April 2026 Reading Wrap up! 💙📚 I ate good this month! Not everything was 100% a winner, but there were still so many great ones that just SHINED! 🥹

Happy Indie Bookstore Day!!! The past 7 days has been Snohomish County Indie Bookstore week in my area, and I got to visit some favorites as well as discovered some new locations 💙📚

Happy Release Day! A City of Iron and Ivy by Thomas Kent West 5🌟 Do you have a green thumb? A Bridgerton hangover? And crave a murder mystery plot, romantic subplot, with a rakish MMC?? Then this is the under hyped Regency treasure for you! Appropriately slow burn, until it’s not… #netgalley

My first stop during Snohomish County Indie Bookstore Week, at Artisans in Everett. And I’m ecstatic to pick up a copy of Morsel by @carterkeane.bsky.social 💙📚 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I was lucky enough to pick up an ARC of this via @netgalley.bsky.social and it was the most perfect horror story! Pro dog, anti MLM!

Have bug repellent salesman come up to your garage with a sales pitch while you were FIGHTING for your life during an ab workout? If so, I vote we be entitled to monetary compensation.

Hey #booksky! An aunt wants to start a book club where we exchange books, but she reeeeeally loves mysteries / thrillers only. If you’ve got any good recs, please send my way!

My escape of choice today 💙📚

Happy release day to Devil in the Deep by Falencia Jean-Francois!! This was a Haitian swashbuckling good time! Would recommend because it had everything - mermaids, cults, BIPOC and queer kick ass characters, and more! Huge shout out to @michaellaborn.bsky.social for getting it on my radar 💙📚

My March 2026 Reading Wrap Up! 📚💙 Had a few great reads! And unfortunately a few I absolutely slogged thru…

If I had a nickel for every time a rock in a movie made me cry, I’d have 3 nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird it happened 3 times, right?

HIP HIP HOORAY! It’s release day for A Lady for All Seasons by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social These were both 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely delightful romps into regency era hijinks, beautifully heartfelt queer stories. I ate these up, even when blinking back tears 😭 💙📚 #aladyforallseasons #netgalley

My February 2026 reading wrap up! My god, these torso covers are outing me 💀 #booksky 📚💙

Happy sunny sweaty Saturday! #selfieset #fitnesssky

The way I SQUEALED and danced around the house seeing my review featured in Fable app’s Must Read email of the week 🥹 💙📚

Half His Age by Jeannette McCurdy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holy cow. I’m reeling from this one. Very conflicted on how uncomfortably real this was written. Plunged me right back into my naive, rabid, easily influenced teen years. And I BOILED at the adults. Gonna be thinking about this for a while… 💙📚

Thank you Bad Bunny 😍 💙📚

Anyone else obsessively checking their emails for a notification from @thestorygraph.com after completing the January Reading challenge?? 💙📚 🥺

Monk and Robot duology by Becky Chambers 💙📚 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It’s official, real life is the worst. I want to live in THIS world, where people are enough & can exist as they are, and humanity chose to do right by the planet and each other 😭

My January 2026 reading wrap up! 💙📚

Queen of Faces by Petra Lord 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📚💙 I wish this existed when I was a teen! Some of the most incredible, respectable and accessible gender discussions I’ve seen in fantasy. Unique magic, poignant gov’t commentary, and forgot it was YA! #netgalley #queenoffaces www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Went thru some boxes in storage from my childhood, and I can’t properly put into words how giddy this happy hippo makes me!

Copy and paste the bunny and then put something else in their hand (\_/) (°-°) />🍜<

Brought ‘Someone You Can Build a Nest In’ on a snow camping trip and it was perfect, a true cozy horror. I’m astounded that it was both heart felt and gruesome, poignant about the love and partnership everyone deserves - even monsters. I loved it! 5🌟 @wiswell.bsky.social truly an original! 💙📚 🫶

Bookish buddies… how bad would I be for calling in sick just to read an ARC?? Totally hypothetical of course… 🥹 📚💙

Ep. 8 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Graceless Heart by Isabel Ibañez - publishing today! Ans: Maybe, if Edward Cullen is your one true book boyfriend! and you love historical fantasy & the renaissance!

Another one read for my Big Books in DecemBRRR! Kingdom of Ash by @sarahjmaas.bsky.social 6🌟 7th and final in the series, and one of the best books I’ve ever read. Ton of POVs, and I cared about each person and plot line! Just incredible. And the heartbreak 🥹 💙📚 #booksky

Proceeds to hyperventilate a little

me, yelling at every romance book I read: “if these ADORABLE IDIOTS would just be HONEST about their FEELINGS they could have been SMOOCHING THIS WHOLE TIME!”

My first finish on my Big Books for DecemBRRRR read list! Alchemised by @senlinyu.bsky.social 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Exactly what you’ve heard. Absolutely a heart wrencher. Trigger warnings galore. This was a tough read. Auto 5 ⭐️ for making me weep like a baby partway thru.

We back in the home gym babes 🤘 #FitnessSky #FitSky #GymSky

My November 2025 reading wrap up! 💙📚 📚🪐 Did a lot of traveling this month, so just didn’t read as much as usual. A LOT of these are short stories, truly!

The Devils Brother by Dharshaini G 4.5🌟 Loved this thriller/mystery novel steeped in folk-horror! Features a morally grey MMC you can’t help but cheer on. If you are a fan of Japanese or Korean style horror films, highly recommend this one! 📚💙 #TheDevilsBrother #NetGalley

Ep. 8 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Fallen City by @adriennebooks.bsky.social Ans: 5🌟!! Has dual POV & timelines, and I loved the insight! War, political intrigue, heart break. And the YEARN! 📚💙 #netgalley

I AM A SESAME FIEND NOW (More info in ALT, I couldnt help it)

OMG I know him…

Sesame lattes are about to become my whole personality.

BRB, in Japan! 🇯🇵

Julia Song is Undateable by @susanleewrites.bsky.social ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Humorous kdrama level hijinks, balanced with real life gut punches regarding familial expectations and pressure, imposter syndrome, and aging family members. Characters felt real and genuine! 🥹 💙📚 #JuliaSongIsUndateable #NetGalley

My October 2025 reading wrap up! 🪐📚 💙📚 Honestly loved the balance of this month between stressful spooky and comfy cozy!

Rules for Ghosting by @shellyjayshore.bsky.social 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I blubbered like a baby! A perfect paranormal queer romance. Themes of grief, love, dignity and gender inclusivity, Jewish cultural appreciation, and the classic conflict of loving your family even if you don’t like them. I loved it! 💙📚

4 books I’m dying to read 💙📚 ✨ Biggies on my TBR that I swear I will get to! And one my grandpa recommended ❤️

Never Ever After by Sue Lynn Tan 3.5⭐️ This was so much more than a Cinderella retelling! Darker than I expected, and the love triangle actually had me switching sides repeatedly! Only downside… it was a bit of a slog in the middle… 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Love this imprint, and I think you will too! 💙📚 And who doesn’t love a giveaway!?

Ep7 of ✨Judging a Book By Its Cover✨ where I tell you if the beauty of the exterior matches the quality of the story within! Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao Ans: if you love the whimsical yet heart wrenching vibes of Miyazaki movies, yes! Slow build but strong finish, great side characters! 💙📚
