What wasn’t on my bingo for this year? Alexis Hall, an author who wrote one of my favourite romances with a trans woman MC, saying that they wouldn’t remove HP references in a rerelease because “the book was written before she (jkr) went full mask off”. Yeah this shit is disappointing as hell 🫤

do people not know how to write *SPOILER WARNING*

Tamara Cole’s book deal: Karen Chaplin at HarperCollins/Quill Tree has acquired, at auction, Tamara Cole's debut novel We Kill the Flame, pitched as We Were Liars meets Euphoria in the vein of Gillian Flynn for Gen Z, a YA psychological thriller about a Black girl from a wealthy family built on a legacy of lies who must unravel the dark truths leading up to and after the night of her debutante ball where she was almost murdered, before the killer strikes again. Publication is set for 2025; Natalie Lakosil at Looking Glass Literary & Media negotiated the deal for North American rights.

Excited to share this to #BookSky

My debut novel, WE KILL THE FLAME, is coming in 2025 from @HarperCollins.bsky.social!

You are cordially invited to a twisty thriller set in a wealthy Black boarding school, featuring sapphic cheerleaders, female rage & debutante balls!

This is my dream come true!

reading in coffee shops supremacy!!

i used to do this so much and downplay how i felt about a book because of everyone else’s opinions. it’s honestly been way more freeing saying my honest thoughts and being more transparent

it was really good!!

LOVED PARABLE OF THE SOWER AND A WOMAN IS NO MAN!!
