Cover of To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose

Why yes, I did make a paper chain to count down the days to the first @washingtonspirit.com home game of the season. See you in 59 days, Rowdy Audi! #nwsl

I also love starting with an ARC!

Ok #booksky — how do you choose your first book of the year? And what did you pick for 2025?

Yep, there’s more

And more

Still not ready to admit defeat on my annual reading goal, but here are my favorite books of 2024!

Sorry to that recommended feedback ratio, I can never review another book on NetGalley again 😈

Thanks for the heads up!

I’m hoping everyone’s need for escapism will lead to more epic fantasy & sci-fi, cozy and dark!

Alright book lovers, tell me your predictions for the biggest book trends of 2025! I’m working on an article for Book Riot and could use your insights on what readerly folks want to see more of next year 📚

Ooooh so close yet a very different vibe

Thank you for reading! 💜
