My review of Role Model by Elle McNicoll 5/5⭐ An absolute must read for everyone, especially autistics. Her best book so far. Representations: trello.com/c/Pujxfq0x PB: pagebound.co/reviews/3793... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 #BookReview

Did I just post 2 reviews back to back, one of a cute kids book and another of Korean body horror? Yes I did, and both are great books 😄

My review of A Mermaid's Diary by Chris Riddell 5/5⭐ Perfect art as always from Chris, and spot on humour even for adults! Representations: trello.com/c/3MvHvYk1/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/2824... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 🪐📚 💙📚👀 #BookReview

My review of New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre by Cho Yeeun 4.5/5⭐ Insane, body horror-y sticky sweet book that isn't exactly *fun* but it is enjoyable. Representations: trello.com/c/eKmvl9Zc/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/2886... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 🩸📚 🪐📚 💙📚👀 #BookReview

My review of Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours 3.5/5⭐ Very good, slightly predictable but not fully (at least for me), pretty damn good characters too! Representations: trello.com/c/YGB0bVYh/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/711410 GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 🪐📚 #BookReview

My review of Strange Pictures by Uketsu 3.75/5⭐ Weird, engaging, but falls short with its gimmick. Representations: trello.com/c/S0swy9aT/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/655672 GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 #BookReview

Ended up getting burnt out a bit on reviews, thought it was a slump at first but no I guess it was just burn out 😅 Got 1 new review written up though on a fun book, and I just finished up another that was quite fun to read :3 Might be writing shorter/less structured reviews for a bit though

New Knights Of book!!! I absolutely love this publisher, they really know quality when they see it 😁 Can't wait to get my hands on this new one!! 💙📚

My review of The Underwood Tapes by Amanda DeWitt 5/5⭐ Read this in 2 settings, half of the book each time. I got absolutely HOOKED! Representations: trello.com/c/AFPp8tnh/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/136159 GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 🪐📚 #BookReview #Netgalley

Just started The Underwood Tapes by Amanda DeWitt (at 18%) and this start is just perfection 👌 I didn't read the description, I requested the ARC just based on the fact that I loved Aces Wild so I had no idea what to expect. But my god this will be an incredible read, I know it! 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 🪐📚

My review of Black Tag by Simon Mayo 3.5/5⭐ Feels a tad generic, but with some very wild curveballs thrown in with not much research. Quick & easy read! Representations: trello.com/c/VCDroEhD/1... PB: pagebound.co/reviews/128109 GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 #BookReview #netgalley

So, I finished Heavenly Tyrant a couple days ago and I'm still feeling pretty annoyed at it. Am I the only one who thinks it felt like an entirely different book? Is there any word on what the romance will be in #3? I'm really hoping it's not gonna follow the same tropes as other romantasy books 💙📚

I know I've been hinting at this for a while but IT'S HAPPENING!!! The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School is getting a spinoff following Cesar after the events of the first book! I can't wait to share this story with you all , it really means the world to me 💜

I emailed pagebound a couple days ago to ask some questions about their platform and they just got back to me with a very positive email! TLDR; Absolutely no genAI at all. Mobile app is coming. Stats is being worked on. Accounts are hard to manage so just google auth for now (very valid ngl)

People: Please stop using genAI as it doesn't give any benefits and it just causes much more harm than good @thestorygraph.com : (How the fuck is this meme literally just their response. Fuck you storygraph.) 📚💙

In light of Storygraph's recent videos talking about genAI and their absolutely abysmal excuses for it, I'm ditching the site. At the moment I'll just post my reviews on goodreads unless I can find another alternative which isn't wanting to speedrun ruining their reputation.

My review of The Broposal by Sonora Reyes! 4.5/5⭐ Funny, a bit raunchy but very heartfelt and pretty serious when it wants to be! Representations: trello.com/c/3YDDdUHv/1... SG: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/1227... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 #Netgalley #Romance #queerfiction

My review of Temple Alley Summer by Sachiko Kashiwaba! 5/5⭐ Felt VERY much like a classic Ghibli story, warming and cosy and just the right amount of magical ❤️ Representations: trello.com/c/puw0f9oV/1... SG: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/2d42... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀

So happy to share that ARTEZANS: The Forgotten Magic has been shortlisted for the Oxfordshire Book Award! Thank you to everyone involved in the listing, and happy reading to pupils in Oxfordshire whose schools in Oxfordshire have copies to read and discuss! ✨✨✨

the reason art with ai at the creative helm will never get traction in any long term or meaningful trot is because art is more than what is in the text of the book, or notes of the song, or runtime of the movie. art is whats OUTSIDE of the medium, a performance piece between creator and experiencer

BY THE WAY last day to vote for BURY YOUR GAYS in goodreads award first round and i just think it would be funny if i won because sad puppies nominated me for an award thinking it was MOST RIDICULOUS thing they could do and now nobody knows who they are and im here www.goodreads.com/choiceawards...

Anyone know how to get into #freelance sensitivity reading? I'd love to sensitivity read for topics like ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, cancer (thyroid), chronic pain + fatigue, (fem, AFAB) non-binary and welsh culture/language. I have lived experience of all that & formal DXs too! #writingcommunity 💙📚👀

finding out there are people who really get what I wanted to do with this book is the absolute best early birthday present!! if you catch me crying at my birthday party it's happy tears I promise!

It's nearing gift season! I have a huge trello board for all my book recs where you can very easily sort by genre/representation/country/etc! Every book on there is something I rec & I have a very diverse spread of all sorts! LMK if you want help w/ how to use the page💙📚👀 trello.com/b/wG8ixw72/b...

My review of To Strip the Flesh by Oto Toda! 4/5⭐ 2 halves 1st an inspiring & powerful own voices tale of transitioning, the 2nd half being a wild mix of short stories! Representations: trello.com/c/KDqPb5YE/1... SG: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/e795... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀

Brought some books on wednesday~ 💙📚👀

I love storygraph BUT does anyone know if they'll ever stop trying to shove genAI into it??? It's incredibly frustrating and genuinely might push me off the site if it's not gotten rid of. I don't want my reviews trained off of.

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

thrilled to announce BURY YOUR GAYS is nominated for the 2024 GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS. this is such an honor and particularly exciting because unlike other awards YOU BUCKAROOS GET TO VOTE. click here to vote for 'bury your gays' best horror before nov 24 www.goodreads.com/choiceawards...

BLACK GIRL POWER is out TODAY!! Happy pub day to all of us contributors and huge shoutout to Leah Johnson for bringing us all together for this. This is such a special collection of stories. I’m honored to be a part of it and to be in community with so many authors I respect and admire.

COMING SOON 💛🤍💜🖤 From debut illustrator Logan Hanning and me, comes KICKFLIP - a YA comic about navigating gender, perception, romance, and sports… whilst being fifteen. I am thrilled to announce that my debut YA graphic novel with Logan Hanning will be published by Hachette in June 2025! 💛🤍💜🖤

Hmm, just finished up The Women but I'm very conflicted on it. I liked that it highlighted the fact that women were in Vietnam, but I was expecting some more Vietnamese representation in it, and a lot less..... messy, petty romance. There's more to Vietnamese women than áo dài's too... 💙📚👀

For what it’s worth, I don’t think the internet is bad. I think almost everyone, myself included, needs to read more books. A lot of people, especially young ones, will say they can’t even focus long enough to read a single book, nor do they have any interest in them.

My review of Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes! 4.5/5⭐ Spooky scifi body horror mystery thats Alien-esque! Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Storygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/3e64... Representations: trello.com/c/ZFr6xUnX/1... #booksky💙📚👀 #bookreviews #scifi #horror #literaturesky

I don't read too many graphic novels (changing that!) but I read a fair bit of manga. Junji Ito! Tomie, Uzumaki (that anime 😭), adaption of No Longer Human are top for me. I've been loving House on the Lake and if counts, the webtoons Everything is Fine + Memorial! #BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚

Is it just me or do others just not really re-read books as well? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to re-read books -especially my favourites! But there's just too many books out there, and too many that constantly release, my brain always chooses new over comfort old.. #booksky 💙📚

I’m having one of those irrational days when all I can think about is how many books there are that I will never get a chance to read.

My Andrew J White books from Illumicrate arrived! They're SO beautiful omg #booksky 💙📚 Highly recommend all 3 of these books - Very queer and terrifying (though I wouldn't recommend them for YA, except the first one HFWU!)
