I SAT AT A TABLE IN MY SHADOWY KITCHEN, STARING down a bottle of Boone‘s Farm Hard Lemonade, when a magic fluctuation hit.

I really like the concept behind this one and the unique magic system, but the pacing feels off. Could be bc the chapters are incredibly long.
Nothing about writing is, in fact, silly. Or perhaps the whole thing is. That dreaming up people and worlds is perhaps the silliest, most beautiful thing a human can do.
Being a halloweenie means my mid-August bday always comes with a few horror-themed gifts to usher in spooky season 🍂
Been a minute since I read a physical book, but I got this one as a gift and am working through it slowly.
Anything can be a bookmark in a pinch... Dead leaf bookmark. Anyone else have one? 😅
It's my bday!
I came across a writing contest for this week in which the prompt was "birthday," so I had to jump on that! U can read my bittersweet, somewhat magical story here ?? Writing it was my gift to me ?? https://share.google/9ASq0UwHPg18LoVxj
Some GORGEOUS Alice in Wonderland/KPop Demon Hunters fan art 😍 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMAe6xnSR/
The artist is my friend, she's awesome and so talented!! Check out her children's book, too 😊

Settling in for a few mins of downtime at a friend's cottage. A little break from all the fun in the sun 🌞
Loving the Final Girl vibes in this one.
Getting back into my #audiocrochet habit lately. I've missed combining two of my favourite things, reading and crocheting 📚 🧺 ❤️
Fighting aliens in a Costco is maybe one of the most fun action scenes I've encountered in a book. Strong Buffy vibes, too.
I'll be finishing this mermaid horror tomorrow morning with my salty siren coffee. I can't believe it took me so long to read this! How was it barely on my radar?!
So good and SO scary 🩸🧜♀️🩸
Doing a little #audiocrochet outside while listening to the tagged book. I'm even on theme, making my son a sea turtle stuffy while listening to a terrifying mermaid book. This is no Ariel 😬
🤣🤣🤣
Had to share.
Tagged the last book that made me feel this way.
Yes, yes, yes! I could not agree more.
I am SO into this! Historical fiction, locked room mystery, train thriller, and slasher all rolled into one. Thank you, Sager. I needed this 🙌🏾
Millie peered through the grimy window at the old brick wall beyond.
#FirstLineFridays A really great cozy so far!
Was reading an ARC (Wysteria House) under this beautiful evening sky yesterday. Very relaxing 😌
The heat wave has broken, and he's finally getting to read under a real tree 🌳 🤗📚
My son wanted to go read under a tree, but we are currently under a severe heat warning... so we improvised.
I'm in such a slump! Looking for something contemporary with a little humour and a few good twists... murder is fine, but not too much grief 😂 Any suggestions?
Gia North‘s lungs ached as she tore through the trees.
#FirstLineFridays I always get R.L. Stine vibes when a book starts with a character's full name lol This is a fun YA Thriller
Always a good morning when you wake up to the arrival of a pre-order 😌
In the final hours of a weekend away for our wedding anniversary 😌
I would lie in my backyard listening to the tagged book ALLLLL day, if I could.
Reading this one for my Final Girl book club. So far, a very fun teen-scream with which to kick off June 🔦 🏕 🔪
Bad day? Me too.
Read a book.
so-soI love McFadden and how ridiculous her twists are, but this one fell a little flat for me. It was fun to listen to while I packed up my house, but the ending left me a little disappointed. I think there were too many POVs, and this from a reader who digs a multi-POV book. This time, it felt like too much build-up for too little payoff.
Only 60 pages in, but it feels like I found a hidden gem here. I stumbled across this series last night and can't put book 1 down. I'm enthralled with the gritty portrayal of an alternate world where cryptids live among us, but after an event called The Reaping, are now feared and have been reduced to abused carnival attractions.
The heat rippling over the surface of Charity Marlow‘s blacktop driveway was one hundred twelve degrees.

Getting ready to sell our house and the stager came by to give her professional advice, which included telling me I had too many books... she suggested removing most of the books from my BOOKshelves and replacing them with candles, plants, and stock photos. I'm not a violent person, but I was seeing red 😡😅
Just for fun, type "reading" and use predictive text to finish the sentence. Here's mine ??
Reading this is a good time. ? #TextFun
What do u get?? Tag a current read
so-soThis is between a pick and a so-so for me. It's worth noting that the story kept me hooked despite not liking the protagonist AT ALL. I was leaning towards a 4-star rating until the end. I just don't feel satisfied with the way her "growth" was handled. Creepy book, though!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Got a gig reviewing books on Reedsy 🤓
Bring on the free books 🎉🎉📚
Well... winter is back. Time for a little spring cleaning during a spring snowstorm 😅 At least I have an audiobook to keep me warm 🎧📚
I stared at my father, waiting for him to say something after the bombshell he‘d dropped on me.
#FirstLineFridays Finishing up this very fun trilogy!
Yes, it FINALLY has!! Last night it was snowing, and today I'm sitting outside with a book for the first time in about 5 months! 🌱💕
A BIG smile for a BIG book. Taken just after getting home from the book store 🤓💕
#BabyBookHaul
There's an ice storm heading our way, so we took our son shopping and got him his first book haul (first time he's been active in picking his own books). Bring on the storm 🌨
Definitely the best handling of a cliffhanger I've ever encountered 😂 Also, what a fun series!
Using the allure of a libby hold popping up to try to pull myself outta bed this morning. It's half working.
recovering from routine surgery, so I'll be lying in bed binge-listening to this today for my fable bookclub 🗝🫣
Both my current reads include red-headed teen girl protagonists. Just a random observation, but I get a kick outta bookish coincidences like this lol
Conscription day is always the deadliest.
#FirstLineFridays
Decided on a whim to see what the big deal is with this one. I used to read a lot of fantasy, but this'll be my first big one in a few years. Looking forward to it 🤗
Maybe the best dedication I've ever seen 🤣
Visions ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Never Lie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Blonde Dies First ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 😟
Clearly, this month's theme was (unintentionally) Supernatural 🖤
