Anyone who knows anything about me knows how much I love The Mummy. This book has ALL The Mummy vibes combined with Death on the Nile. I ate this book up and can’t WAIT to read the second one. #whattheriverknows

Y’all know that tiktok sound “this mfer don’t miss”? That’s how I feel about @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social because it’s banger after banger. This book was so hyped and for good reason!

i NEED IT

I have to do a separate post for the book I finished last night, my first five star of the year. The only thing that upset me about this book is that it took me so long to find it. @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social I’ve fallen in love with you hope that’s cool 💜

And the rest! Some new authors, some old favorites, and some great books read! @realcharlaine.bsky.social

I’m behind on updates but here are my March and April reads! Can you believe we’re in May already?? What’s next on your TBR? @adalyngrace.bsky.social @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social

Completely unnecessary but also very necessary hill I'm ready to perish and absolutely rot on: if you spell y'all with the apostrophe after the a (ya'll) you are objectively incorrect and I am ready to fight over this.

I have been in a MASSIVE reading slump for the last month. Send me some book recs to get me out of this mess!

Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen in this book I was proven wrong. Such a cool read! (The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton)

Book number 2 of 2025! The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie so I was pumped to start this series and it didn’t disappoint. Such a cool concept and the writing is so fun. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! @daniellepaige.bsky.social

Which was more emotionally devastating to you as a child: “You can talk to me. I’m his brother.” or “It’s just me and you. Prix de Fontayne baby!”

First book of 2025 down! I had no idea where this was going and I did NOT see that ending coming. This was my first @colleenhooverbooks.bsky.social and I can’t wait to read more from her.

57 books in 2024. Time to empty the jar and start all over again!

My 11 year old is currently reading chapter 35 of Order of the Phoenix. If you know, you know.

And my favorite book of 2024. The one that brought me to my knees and back again. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I have never cried at a book the way I cried at this. It was absolutely stunning and so will forever love it.

Number 2. The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The way I cried through this book. Evelyn was an amazing character and I adored her more than I can say.

My top 3 books of 2024. I only have 3 books five stars last year and they earned them. Coming in at number 3 is the incredible One Last Stop by @caseymcquiston.bsky.social This is the one that made me fall in love with Casey as a writer and I’ve torn through her other books

i’m built different

if they have one thing it’s the audacity i guess

Not a bad year overall. Looking forward to 2025!

all i want for christmas is a soft blanket and 2 million dollars

2025 goals: Finish the first draft of my book. Read at least 60 books (so far I’ve read 52 this year). Make actual booktok/bookstagram content.

the correct answer here is bubba ho-tep

And we’re about to start all over again!

I had my first DNF book of the year this week. I wanted to love it so much but the violence was just too much. What’s a book you just couldn’t make it through?

me when i read love in the time of cholera

ok #booksky i have a serious question for you: what’s a bookish canon event you’ve seen recently? i’ll go first. my oldest kid is reading order of the phoenix for the first time and said “man sirius is the coolest. i hope they prove he’s innocent.” I CAN’T INTERFERE AND I’M SCARED FOR HIM

HUGE SAME BUDDY

This place is already better than the other site because @markhamillofficial.bsky.social followed me. If anyone needs me I’ll be watching Star Wars and playing Arkham City.

Even here on my author account I must make it clear: at it's core every social media account I run is a Brendan Fraser/Jack Black stan account. This is no exception, I just yell more about books over here.
