The “my wife” has come very early in this arranged marriage book! Konflict is a problematic unhealed jerk but I am having a time with this one. #Sinfulserenity #mafiaromance #Booksky #Blackbooksky

I’m 20% into Crown Me Dead and this is so gross 🤢 I was expecting a typical romantasy but I’m too intrigued to stop. I really need to stop going into books blind though because I had no idea. #Booksky #Darkromance #Romantasy

Finished up The Intrigue this morning-what an amazing character study! 5⭐️ I’m 58% into Dragon Blind-it’s such a fun #Romantasy with disability rep and characters more focused on the plot than how hot they think each are. I’m having a blast💚 #booksky #blackbooksky #diversebooksky

I’ve gotten 2 arcs that I’m so excited to read but I’ve been holding off until closer to the release dates. 1st is a debut author An Immaculate Deception by Isabella Livino. A gothic horror that reminds me of Moreno-Garcia & I love all her books so I have high hopes for this #Booksky #Diversebooksky

I’m finally about 85% moved in and unpacked. My office/library is almost finished. I just need one more bookshelf. I’m reading again and happy🙌🏾 #Booksky #library #decor

Mid year #readinggoals check-in. I’ve easily made the book goal but I’ve been reading shorter books this year so my page count is just barely there. I have some thick ones on my #tbr that I know I’ll get to though. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Diversebooksky

Headed to FIFA FanFest. I’m trying to be social but have my blanket and emotional support Kindle in case of an emergency. #Worldcup #Fifa #Booksky

I just moved and don’t have any shelves yet but I visited my local indie bookstore The Book Cellar in Conyers,Ga and it was the cutest place! It has a cafe and plenty of seating inside and out. Jessica Cage is doing an author talk on the 20th🙌🏾. And of course I had to pick up a few trophies #Booksky

She’s here!!! The Illumicrate edition of Dance of Burning Blades was too beautiful not to order. And the artwork has me intrigued. I know I won’t get to it this month because I’m in the middle of moving but I’m excited for when I can focus on this thick read. #fantasy #Booksky #Blackbooksy

Happy Release Day to CM Lockhart 🎉🎊🤩🫶🏾 I haven’t been reading much this month but I think this novella is just what I need to get on track. I can’t wait to get back into my ladies in space #scifi #booksky #blackbooksky

I really enjoyed the Artefacts of Ouranos series and I just love a good dystopian novel-so I had to preorder Storm Breaker. I’m also a sucker for a pretty book 😆 Happy Release Day to Nisha J Tuli 🎊🎉🫶🏾 #Booksky #Diversebooksky #YA #Dystopian

I’ve not been reading as much but I’m still shopping… This morning’s haul- Boom Town by Njc Stone (new to me author but I keep hearing about this book and it’s based in Atl!) And this was such a pretty copy of Beloved, I couldn’t resist. #Booksky #Blackbooksky

Happy Release Day to SJ Stewart🎊🎉🙌🏾. I’ve been impatiently waiting on this one! #Booksky #Blackbooksky #paranormal #romance

I’m currently prepping to really dig into Octavia Butler’s catalog so I’m starting with some homework. I’ve read & loved some of her works already but really want to approach them thoughtfully. Positive Obsession by Susana M Morris. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #nonfiction #biography

Happy Release Day to Gabi Burton 🎊😳🙌🏾 I was able to read To Steal a Throne as an eARC and absolutely loved it! Mira was putting those people through it in this fast paced story that has a layered plot and tons of secrets. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #YAfantasy

I’m only 12% into Where No Shadow Stays by Sara Hashem but I am hooked! Cuz WTH was that?? #Booksky #Diversebooksky #horror

Finally finished Eldritch by Keri Lake. Despite my complaints I’m eager awaiting the next one. Started Theirs by ML Bash and Miss Mary Mack by Deandre Kralevic for a change of pace. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #romance #horror

Walk #4 I’m going to have to start a new book -I’ve been working on 4 mid books all week & I need something I’m excited abt. 68% The Child Thief & the racism… 38% The Bone Season & nothing is happening. 91% Eldritch- it’s long for no reason. 69% Claws & Crochet it’s made for ppl w/ triggers #Booksky

Walk #3 done. I love a streak 😂 58% into The Child Thief and the plot has definitely thickened beyond just child abuse thank God! Only 32% into The Bone Season & waiting for more plot. Interesting world building so far but the characters are a bit dull🤷🏾‍♀️ #Booksky #Horror #fantasy

Day 2 of daily walking. 35% into The Child Thief and took a break because I’m traumatized. Poor Nick! & 29% into The Bone Season but I’m a bit bored tbh. I’m going to keep going with both though. #Booksky #horror #fantasy

Spring is here! I’m so glad to be back outside💕 Currently listening to The Child Thief by Brom. This is only my 2nd book by them and I’m a little surprised by how dark and grim it is. Slewfoot wasn’t this bleak. I may be being triggered by all the child abuse though. Still a great read! #Booksky

Happy Release Day to Soraya Bouazzaoui🎊🎉👏🏾 Aicha is a historical fantasy full of feminine rage and the importance of family. And a heartfelt romantic subplot 😍😍😍 #Booksky #Diversebooksky #fantasy

I’ve been waiting on this for months and she turned out so beautiful 😍Happy Release Day to Shanora Williams 🙌🏾👏🏾🎉🎊 #Mayhemandthemortal #Booksky #Blackbooksky #fantasy #newrelease

I recently found out Blackwell’s ships to the US for free and they’re about to be sick of me. Those UK covers are so pretty! Also I immediately bought this beauty which I just can’t find here but have been dying to read #Booksky #Blackbooksky #fantasy

I’m 71% through The Poet Empress & usually I’d finish it up at work but I’m certain imma end up crying and I can’t do that at my desk so I may wait until I’m off. There’s no romance but this love story is so gut wrenching. Possible #1 book of the year! #Booksky #Diversebooksky #fantasy

I’ve never heard of this author but I came across this book cover and I absolutely adore it so I’m about to dive in #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Vampires

My first time visiting a BAM so I got my first haul of the year. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about The Poet Empress and it’s beautiful so I snatched it up. Also got the 2nd books in the #manga series that I was introduced to last year. #tbr #booksky #diversebooksky

I read from mostly my fav authors this month. It was great way to start the year. I’m going to try to concentrate more on new authors in Feb. Here are my fav reads for January. #Booksky #Blackbooksky Mexican Gothic Predators MC duology Wolf Worm To Steal a Throne

I’ve had such good luck so far this year with my ARCs. I highly recommend all 3 of them Aicha- Moroccan fable retelling Wolf Worm - historical horror featuring insects! To Steal a Throne- YA fantasy featuring political intrigue and budding romance #booksky #diversebooksky #blackbooksky

The good news-I just got approved for #ToStealaThrone on #NetGalley (one of my most anticipated reads for ‘26). The bad news-it archives 1/31 so I guess I’m dumping the 4 other books I’m in the middle of. I know what I’ll be doing during the storm. I’m so excited! #Booksky #Blackbooksky #YAFantasy
