Publishers, don’t do this! I almost picked up the wrong book!! (It is not lost on me that’s exactly what they do this…) 💙📚
Happy Trad Pub Day for Splintered Kingdom!! 🫶 by @gretchenpowellfox.bsky.social 💙📚 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Welcome to YEARN CITY!! Mutual pining and simping were rampant and I LOVED it! So many tropes are flipped on their head in a really fun way, and I’m dying for the conclusion of this trilogy! #netgalley
Oh man, it’s great! Just strap any book in! It’s mostly book display, but there is a pocket on the back to carry money, etc
Happy National Book Lovers Day! Yesterday made it out to the Washington Midsommer Ren Faire, on Pirate weekend! I ate 3.5 pickles and picked up a handmade mug and a new book. Great weekend! 🏴☠️🫶 💙📚
My first ripe tomato from the garden! YAYAYAYAY!! BLTs on deck for lunch today!
My July 2026 Reading Wrap Up! Had some ups and downs this month, but I reeeeeeally loved the gems that I did get! 🫶 💙📚
The Dragon Has Some Complaints by @wiswell.bsky.social 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Heartwarming, cozy, slow coasting comedy - until it grabs you by the shoulders and thrusts you into the center of the action! ♥️💛💚💙💜, found family, and a disabled dragon. I loved it!! Elated I had it on a long flight! 💙📚 #netgalley
Brando Sando, he’s the man-do! The Emperor’s Soul by @brandonsanderson.com 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This was an excellent quick novella, especially while on vacay. V under hyped. Perfect for anyone who’s a scaredy cat like me, and intimidated by the size of Mistborn and Stormlight… 💙📚
Can someone please freak out with me - BECAUSE LOOK WHO GOT HER FIRST BOOKMAIL 🥹😭 HUGE thank you @celadonbooks.bsky.social for the gifted ARC! Just finished the ALC. V macabre commentary on how far people will go when pushed to their limits. Pls check trigger warnings, this is bloody detailed!! 💙📚
Happy release day to Nemesis Mine by Amy Archer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Just such a fun romp, and perfect for Pride Month ♥️💛💚💙💜 A mischievous villain, a do gooder champion, a secret deal to work together, and my favorite micro trope: a grumpy horse side character! 💙📚
CR: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke I’m about 40% thru. Holy cannoli, I wasn’t prepared for how close to a horror this feels… 💙📚
Last year, bunnies got to all my strawberries before I had a chance to try one. This year, we’ve got giant fruit on deck!! AAAHHH I’m so happy 🥹
Made it out to my local small town Pride Parade and won a free book from the library’s pop up!! Happy Pride ♥️💛💚💜💙📚
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.
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
