Big Bad Wolf series by Charlie Adhara (reread). I love mystery books but add in werewolves and a queer romance? Delightful. I loved the characters, the way the relationship developed throughout the series felt authentic, and the mysteries kept my attention but weren't super stressful imo. M/M rep

Not a terrible reading experience but I don't know if I'd call it good either. Kind of exhausting? Definitely check the TWs if you ever want to give it a go! If you like Captive Prince, you might like this?

Phew, okay. I'm going to be honest, I only finished this series out of sheer stubbornness. The characters weren't super likable (to me), the writing was okay, worldbuilding was interesting, the amount of traumatic experiences the MCs went through eventually had me letting out a resigned sigh-

I'm ALMOST done with the Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton. Paused Mistress of Lies and won't pick it back up for a couple months, methinks- same goes for the Steel Remains. Thinking about starting the Mimicking of Known Successes OR the Lavender House (prolly the former since it's pretty short)

Getting a spell cast on you that ties you to a classmate you don't get along with? Yeah, no, I think I'd actually have an aneurysm. But reading about someone else experiencing it? Giggling and kicking my feet or whateverrr. M/m, slow burn (SPOILER: they aren't together by the end of the book)

So I went from listening to as much tma as possible in a day to listening to one ep a day bc I don't want it to end [screams]

Crafted a new face piece !! It's been so long since I've done a craft with fake flowers- planning to do one with birthday candles soon 🫡✨

Episode 177 of tma was roughhhh. Anywayyy, on ep 181 now and still having a g8 time

It's so hard to choose so not yet ! 😌

On episode 55!! It's really taken over my life ahaha 🙏✨ Jonathan's paranoia has me rolling (it makes sense but he's really spiralling huh) and the way no one has noticed Sasha acting differently has me STRESSED

Okay, last one! Read this in January (?) and forgot to post about it! I needed something soft and lighthearted and this delivered. A heartfelt story about an adventurer who is ready to settle down and decides to open up a coffee shop. Change can be refreshing and community is everything! Sapphic!

The Tithenai Chronicles! I liked both books, the first being the better of the two imo (tho I adored the side characters in the second book). Arranged marriage? Magic? Mysteries to be solved? All are my bread and butter, so I was very excited to pick these up! They did not disappoint!

Didn't know what to expect for this tbh I just saw t4t and immediately put it on my to-read list. Historical fiction with horror/fantasy elements. As a queer person with lots of hang-ups when it comes to religion, it was a bit cathartic? There's smut, which took me by surprise for some reason.

The story in one sentence: A trans man stuck between a rock (no, like, actually) and a hard place. In all seriousness- I loved this book! Such interesting worldbuilding when it comes to gods, the forms they take, and the people they interact with.

Took a break from listening to audiobooks (still need to make posts about the ones I've finished whoops) and started listening to The Magnus Archives. Started Monday, already on episode 36, having the time of my life

I want to go antiquing so bad ‼️‼️

Ann Leckie*** (def recommend The Raven Tower btw, I'm liking it a lot so far)

Okay, all caught up!! Currently reading through The Raven Tower by Ann Lexie, The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan, and Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright. Phhhew

My most recent finish! I am so fond of this book, I have no idea why it took me this long to pick it up. Flowery writing, a story told through a series of letters/notes, time travel, sapphic- I usually hate throwing trope buzzwords around outside of my story prompts but "enemies to lovers" does fit

This book!! I loved it! It's another case of "weird pacing, would've been better spread out into multiple books" for me, but maybe I'm just greedy. Writing can be overwhelming/flowery at times, LOTS of worldbuilding, VERY queer, gritty, bold, viva la revolution, etc.

This book was honestly not what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed it! Sci-fi for people who typically only read contemporary fiction? Put lightly: An alien abduction, a dysfunctional family, and a tense reunion. Very subtle queer rep?

I keep forgetting to post once I'm done with a book so I'm gonna spam post as a little catch up! To start: The Sky On Fire! Liked it, weird pacing imo but I enjoyed the world building. Would've been better if the story was spread out into multiple books? Polyam/sapphic !! There be dragons, of course

Thank you!! Both for finding me on here and the kind words ☺️🩷 I'll mostly post my finished reads here and possibly do prompts somewhere else. And I'm glad you've found use of them, always happy to hear it!

I need to see a bluesky equivalent of your osomatsu-san era

Second book (novella) on my 2025 reading list finished! I wish I liked it more than I actually do- I mostly just think my storytelling preference got in the way of fully enjoying it. Well-written, a diverse group of characters (ace rep, trans rep), and an interesting setting.

First book on my 2025 reading list finished! Love love loved this book. The story put simply: a fantasy-thriller about a shapeshifting (human-eating) monster falling in love with someone from a family who is hunting her. It was also very comical at times and had some unexpected twists. Sapphic/ace!

You're so sweet, Kitty! 😊💕 The pearl looks almost always end up being my favorites, I'm glad you like them as well!!

Since we're only hours away from the new year, here are a few of my fav looks of 2024 !

Went holiday shopping today and was almost overtaken by fight or flight instincts (I hate crowds)

One of my favorites from recent time, my #ocs Thorne and Basil (Basile?) I’ll Yap about them sometime soon. #digitalart #characterdesign
