Starting book two in my friend Jason's Ultimate Hustle series! This cover is absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍

Finally made a decision on what book I'll be reading when unwinding... took me long enough to find one to commit to instead of jumping from book to book to book! 🤣

How I'm spending my night! Tea flavor is Vanilla Almond from The Republic of Tea!!!!

Enjoying some blue alien smut tonight!

I loved the movies and had no idea they were even based on books. Looks like I need to read them now!

I just finished 'The Diamond Rose by my friend Daniela Valenti, and am now moving onto this book while I try to finish 'Virozone' and 'Handbook For Mortals!' ❤

I've never read this before, so I'm going to start it tonight. I've heard great things about this series, so hopefully it meets the hype!!!

I'm about due for a reread of the Vampire Huntress series!

It finally came in! I can't wait to read it!!! 😍

Decided to add a little romantic fantasy to my reading list as a pallet cleanser!

I'm feeling the horror vibes today!!!

Bookmail came in today!!!! My friend Zach sent me 'Cabal' by Clive Barker for Spooktober, and my friend Danny sent me his Black Pages series!!!

Is there an author that you just can't get enough of? For me, besides Stephen King, that author is Amy Cross! I love her writing and how spooky her novels are!!!

❤ QotD: who is the author that you will read no matter what? ❤

Another addition to my Spooktober TBR! 😍

Now we're getting started!!! 😍

Horror movie night!!!

Look what came in the mail today? 😍

I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm proud! ❤

All hail the King!!!!! ❤

Bringing in Spooky Season right!!! 😍

Guys, I am screaming!!! I am so excited about this book!!! I love Bookmail days, they're the best!!!! ❤📚

Part 2

I figured you guys would appreciate a little background of my meltdown from last night. I want everyone to know that I'm ok, I'm not quitting what I do because I love it too much to just give it up, and I'm learning how to not give a damn so that the next time something like this happens, I can just brush and laugh it off! ❤

Part 1

Reading is starting to lose it's fun because of all the reader shaming and gatekeeping I've been becoming subject to due to my love for a certain book I'm reading. This saddens me because reading is my passion, and that passion is dying out! 😭😭😭😭😭

I love the message that Lani put in the book!!! Thank you Lani for letting me live the magic in this book! ❤

I'm so excited to be reading this! I underestimated it thinking it wouldn't be as good as I thought because of all the negative reviews, but once I started it, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm absolutely LOVING this book so far!!! The author autographed it for me, and sent me two other autographed copies for a giveaway on Instagram! Ill share a photo of the autograph. This may be one of my all-time favorite books I've read this year! ❤

Sometimes when reviewing books, you come across a book that you just cannot finish, and this book was it for me. I really wanted to like this book, and the author and his friends had this book so hyped up that I thought it would blow my mind away. Sadly, that wasn't the case. The characters were so unlikable, the dialogue felt like a B-Movie script, and the sexual component felt like the author was trying too hard. I have to rate this a half star!

I've been dealing with a lot of mental health problems and it led to me falling behind in my book reviews on Instagram. Now that I'm better, I'm finally hitting that massive backlog of ebooks I need to read and review! First up: "Stealing Venice" by Anna Erikssön Bendewald!

⭐REVIEW⭐

BOOK: 'Eden'
AUTHOR: Zachary Strupp
PLOT: We follow an artist named Jonah and a woman named Eve. Jonah rescues Eve from an assault that almost claims her life. Eve isn't an ordinary woman, she has a secret that she doesn't want other to know. Eve and Jonah fall in love, but tragedy strikes. Will Eve lose Jonah, or will she get her happily ever after with the man she loves?

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Me right now. I'm pretty sure Jared's getting concerned! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zachary sent me a copy of all the books he's published so far, and this was my first pick! I love a cute trans romance, and so far, this fits the bill! I'm loving this so far!!!! 😍 My heart is breaking for Eve though! 😭

Continuing 'Cemetery Boys' tonight. I'm pretty much mad at every character except for Yadriel, Catriz, and Maritza right now. I only hope that Yadriel gets to be a Brujo, and that he gets recognized as who he really is. I'm tired of jerks misgendering him and referring to him using his deadname!!!

One of my current read! I've been wanting to read this, so I'm excited to finally start it!!!

Starting this book!!! I'm in a true crime kinda mood; it's getting me excited to continue writing 'Retribution!' I'm getting so many ideas for it!!! ❤

I am currently reading 'Dark Lover' by J.R. Ward, 'The Vampire's Seduction' by Raven Hart, and 'Guilty Pleasures' by Laurell K. Hamilton. I think I have a vampire smut addiction!!!

I just finished chapter 4 and chapter 5 is now in progress! You learn a little more about Benjamin in chapter 4 and ladies, you may find yourself falling more in love with Benjamin after the chapter is over! ❤

Chapter 3 was finished early this morning and chapter 4 is being written tonight!!

I'm ecstatic to report that chapter 2 has been finished and chapter 3 is about to be started! I'm so proud of myself because I usually give up by now and put the project on the back burner only to forget it and never pick it up again, but this book is coming along nicely!! Remember, even if it's a little progress, it's still progress and it deserves to be celebrated! ❤

Progress report: I am pleased to announce that chapter 2 is almost finished! I'm in celebration mode now!!! 😃

Chapter 2 is underway! Don't panic, it's actually happening!!!

It's the author's life for me! I got a random idea for a novel this morning. I started writing and am already done with chapter 1! I'm falling in love with two of the men in my novel, Conrad and Benjamin! I can't wait to see where this goes. I hope it turns out great in the end!! ❤

Guess what Littens? I'm back! I apologize for the hiatus, but life has been getting in the way. Since my last post, I have become a book reviewer on Instagram, and I get paid to do book reviews for the Online Book Club website! I have also started writing again and I have three books going that I hope to publish all at around the same time! I've missed you all and it feels so good to finally be back! ❤

I've been struggling with my mental health lately. I decided to feed my soul in hopes of it perhaps helping me through it because I can't do this alone!

One of the adorable bookmarks my sister-in-law got me for Christmas! It's part of a four pack! I thought this one was fitting for The Stand!

I have decided to write a short story anthology as a way of easing into writing a novel. So far, I have a short story called 'The Echo Chamber' in mind. I could use some ideas for more short stories! Feel free to drop some ideas so I can see what I can make of them!

So excited to finally read this. Last Podcast on the Left is one of my all-time favorite podcasts!
