I absolutely read every word in Georgie's adorable voice in my head. So charming, so lovely and so true. If you're not following her on social media, you simply must. She has a way of making your heart warm, reminding you of the wonderfulness of this life.

I'm telling you, you gotta allow yourself to DNF books that aren't working for you. Since I've been DNFing like a queen, this is the kind of reading I've been doing. It was a stellar month. My favorite was by far Bury Our Bones. These books will stick with me.

Everywhere I go, gotta find the bookstore. This time was Bethany Beach Books where I picked up Ghost Fish by Stuart Pennebaker and Doll Parts by Penny Zang. Very excited to get into these. 💙📚

What a beautiful story of trauma, grief and motherhood. The witchiness of the characters is treated with intelligence and honesty. Alice's journey dealing with trauma and anxiety, coming into her own power, and having to apologize for her own perceived weakness, really struck a cord with me. 5⭐ 💙📚🩸

OMG I didn't know you were posting here 😆

My reading wrapup for July. It was a pretty good month. By far the favorite was In Universes by Emet North. It was beautiful and moving and so unique. 💙📚

Wow, that was beautiful. I can't believe this is the author's debut. I will read anything they write! This may be the first book that I've ever wanted to immediately begin again after finishing. So unique, so heartfelt, so human. This goes on the god tier. 🥹

My cats are fried

I really loved this one as well!

Both excellent! 🤌🙌

Another pretty fantastic reading month. I'm itching for another gothic horror. What's your favorite that I should read?
💙📚🩸

OMG destroyed. I am unwell. was the writing a masterpiece? nope. is my heart ripped open, flip-flopping on the floor like a lovesick fish? absolutely.
5⭐
💙📚

I'm listening to this audiobook now! So good!

5⭐ Yellow Wife was agonizing, beautiful and so important. As a white person originally from Virginia, I am honored to be shown this story from a horrific time in our history. I can't recommend this enough. This goes on the god tier.
💙📚

I came here to second that!!

I had DNF'D this as a physical book because I couldn't gel with the conversational tone of the writing. As an audiobook, I'm really enjoying it. Has this happened to you? What's a book you recommend that's better as audio?
💙📚🩸

Now THAT'S a good reading month. I also DNF'd a couple and it's making such an impact on how much I'm enjoying reading.

Faves were definitely Buffalo Hunter Hunter and When The Wolf Comes Home. Two absolute masterpieces. I have so many good things planned to read in June. How was your month?
💙📚🩸

Nah, take your time!

man, the afterward alone gets 5 ⭐

I will read anything this man @natcassidy.bsky.social ever writes, and now that I've completed the "trilogy" as he puts it in the afterward, I want to read it all again.

💙📚🩸

The way I gasped when this was put on the new books cart at work, and then snatched it before it went on the floor
💙📚

What my bones know was so validating 👍

FOR REAL

So far so good!

I'm going in! Everything else by @natcassidy.bsky.social has been 5⭐ for me so pretty sure this one will be too! 💙📚🩸

Every time I put my bookmark in my place and close my book, I look at it from the top to see where I am and how far I've read. Am I the only one that does this? 💙📚 #amitheonlyone

You'll never look at pomegranates the same way 😆

You should listen to My Dad Wrote a Porno, a podcast. It's a guy whose father self published porn and is reading it aloud to his 2 friends, all British so extra hilarious sense of humor. It will make you snort laugh.

Such a quirky good book ❤️

This is a GOOD one!
