4⭐Just when I thought I couldn't love Effy and Preston more, you come and break me again! I am still reeling from NetGalley/Harper Collins even approving me for this, so tysm! In true Ava Reid style, the return to Llyr was full of both hope and peril. Longer review on socials #booksky 📚🌈💙 #arcreview

That cover is 🤌 I'm so excited for Skies Press and R.A. Basu ♥️

Phew 128 pgs and I am locked in 🔥 I missed this. #booksky #oathbound 📚

Living for these #thestorygraph analytics #booksky #wrapup

It's such a struggle! Like why can't I just pick something and read it 😭

I got the shipping notification yesterday and squealed ❤️

💀 this is the best synopsis for this book, omg

An ethereal mercreature superimposed over an ocean teaming with whales and sea life. The Deep in bold letters across the top. Rivers Solomon with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan Snipes listed at the bottom

Can't believe I forgot to review this here! I still haven't processed everything that I feel about this novella. I had to pop over to some bipoc content creators' reviews to make sure I was drawing the correct parallels. There are so many layers in such a short format.
5⭐

A dark haired boy, face wrapped in thorns, submerged to the neck in a pond. Hazelthorn by CG Drews title in light colored lettering

I was ecstatic to be approved for this eARC! Immediately drawn in by the visceral prose, the overgrown estate, this a gothic tale of love, rejection, obsession, redemption, and self discovery.
*TW: Body horror, childhood abuse, and a solid serving of decay and gore.

Red to green gradient background with black black silhouette of cabin in the woods. Yellow text "Listen to Your Sister" A Novel Neena Viel

Finished this eARC and WOW! Such a brilliant examination of love, grief, and shared trauma through a horror lens. #booksky #bipocauthor

My problem is, I make piles, and then I buy a bookcase and it's immediately filled from relocating the piles. Rinse and repeat every 6 months 🤡

Red to teal gradient background with the black silhouette of a house in woods. Listen to Your Sister (in yellow text), A Novel (white text) Neena Viel (background gradient)

Distorted watercolor image of a woman's face. Yellow text superimposed: "Old Soul Susan Barker author of The Incarnations"

I don't know how I got so lucky, but I was approved for an eARC of Listen to your Sister by Neena Viek and a giveaway for Old Soul by Susan Barker, and I am trying to convince myself not to shelve one of my current reads and start one. Has anyone else already read either of these? #booksky #eARC 💙🌈📚

A gold background with a steampunk brass and blue dragon. Title "A Language of Dragons" in bold white font and "S.F. Williamson" along the bottom

Finished this tonight, just in time before my Libby loan expires. 3.25⭐ but only because I really really disliked Viv 🙈 Still a very interesting plot, love talking dragons, and the action goes off the rails post-80%. #booksky 📚💙🌈

I signed up. Idk what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyway 😂

Loved this! I struggle to stay focused with audiobooks but this one had me locked in.

I've heard so many great reviews!

So excited to dive into Blood Over Brighthaven! Thanks to @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social and Del Ray for hosting the giveaway 💙📚 #booksky

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I never made content but followed you on ⏰app and followed over here ❤️

I'm really enjoying it! It definitely feels like it's trying to do too much to begin with? But I just hit several rapid fire reveals and the pieces are falling into place ❤️ Some very cool discussions on consciousness and bodily autonomy

This month* The whole month. I'll try again in February 😅

Human rights are not opinions.

If you're looking to gain access to ARCs, you kinda need to keep Goodreads/Amazon/etc as well. Publishing reps want posts on the big box sites for maximum reach. I don't even think NetGalley recognizes SG as a review site option?

I am definitely struggling. I've only finished 2 books for January, and I usually read ~10 books a month. It's difficult to stay focused through all the existential dread.
