I’ve never met anyone that knows this song!! This is so near and dear to me 🤍🤍

took a hiatus, now I’m back #booksky! Check out the newest addition to my family since my absence 💛

Saw a lady looking at books and reading the backs of popular ones, so I decided to talk to her:) I recommend my fav book and she bought it! She said I made her day because she just started reading and didn’t know where to start. She was feeling lost. Made me so happy. I hope she loves it ⏰📚💙

Thank you!!🫶🏻

I’ve been in a reading lull since i finished Exodus by Kate Stewart, the second book in the Ravenhood Trilogy. I’m still having difficulty getting into the Finish Line, even though it’s been 2-3 weeks 🫣

Book grief is so real!

trilogy vibe👇🏻🐦‍⬛

my best friend is also a book friend. I LOVE that we read similar genres & book club them. We’ve been long distance friends for a couple years now and i want her back home.

I’m trying to convince her to come back, while also wanting the best for her and her growth. Adult friendships are hard.

so hi new friends🤗

y’all made my day when i logged into the app and saw i had more followers. it feels good to have people care about what i have to say 💙💙📚⏰

that’s the funny thing about apps like this - you follow to read their thoughts. Kinda neat when you think about it. I know it’s obvious, but nice to remember🫶🏻

Hi friends!! I took a little break but now I’m back 🤭

💙📚⏰

We got a couple inches this year!! Hardest snowfall since the 80s lol

Stunning!! It’s 70° where I’m living!! We never get snow

I JUST realized that Flock is in your profile pic 🫣 silly me lol

Thank you for your words and following along with me on this heartbreaking, gut wrenching, beautiful journey 💙💙

I’ll take my time and take a breather for a bit. It’s raining here today, so that’s not helpful😭

I’m ahead!!:)

I can't start Finish Line yet; my heart is too shattered from Exodus. I've never felt heartbreak like this from a book. The characters were so real—I fell in love and then into grief. I've read sad stories, but nothing compares to the pain of Exodus. There’s nothing like it. It still hurts.

⏰📚🌶️📚💙

I wish the absolute best for your recovery!! ❤️‍🩹 I hope it’s speedy, successful, and liberating!

I’m so happy I have my little #book blog here. It brings me so much joy💙

I seriously look forward to reading all of your posts and thoughts. It’s an awesome escape. You all are a great community to chat with.

#booktok on #booksky is the best!!

You guys make me smile and chuckle 🥰

Cat tax!!

The final book of the Ravenhood series has me hesitant to start after Exodus rocked me. I'm curious: will it be happier? Will I find closure? Can I let go of my love for characters she didn’t choose? Will the rain bring comfort instead of sorrow? Let’s see💙📚

I will!! I literally just walked out of the bookstore with it 😌

I finished Exodus and wish I could go back to Flock. This book wrecked me—every emotion from anger to acceptance. I hate it but understand it. Kate Stewart is brilliant yet cruel.

I want to give it 4 stars out of stubbornness, even though it deserves 5.

4/5⭐️ because I’m sad and stubborn.

💙📚⏰📚🌶️

I feel like I’ve been in serious mourning the last two days. I want to go back and just live in Flock🫠

This book has not been kind to me at all 😭 it’s 3:03am and I can’t stop torturing myself 83% in. I just want everything to be okay and perfect again.

Kate Stewart, you beautiful monster.

Fans of this series, any encouragement is welcomed. Please tell me everything will be okay😭😭

💙📚⏰📚🌶️

The volume at which I’m consuming coffee this month is alarming to say the very least

If you're with me, glad you're here.

Thank you😭🫂♥️ I work a little every day to try to make things happen for myself, while helping those around me do the same. That’s all I can do for now. May be brave enough to start writing my own novel, by beginning with a list of my ideas and see what comes of it

I needed this advice.Thank you♥️It hurts a little more than normal when there’s a strike against something I’m already insecure about. The “manipulation” aspect doesn’t hurt as much, because I know my heart and far that is from true. But being successful, that one hurt. A lot. But she is not *well*🥲

Thank you very much🤎 I’m very thankful for these babies, even when they drive me crazy!!

Oh yes. Super tough. Thank you🤎 I hope your day is wonderful and kind to you

Thank you🥹 I appreciate your words friend

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them”

Tough day yesterday. My favorite character died unexpectedly. My mentally ill grandmother said I’m manipulative and will never amount to anything.

Stuck in limbo between two worlds hurting me at the same time. Tough to choose which one I “deal” with today.

Thank god for cats, though
