Just a thought 👀 📚

Just a heads up to Romance readers. Bloom Books and author B. Celeste are blatantly marketing a novel as Romance where one love interest dies and the other admits they never loved the other in the epilogue.

This is disrespectful to readers and disgusting business practice. They just want ur 💵

Physical TBR Book #8: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

The past couple of weeks have been A LOT. Stressful, frustrating, and overwhelming in ways that make retreating into books feel less like an escape and more like a survival tactic…🫠

Adds to tbr immediately

I'm def posting this week

My agency was ordered to burn books today. So, yeah.

BIPOC isn’t a synonym for Black, and using it that way is both inaccurate and dismissive. It’s meant to highlight unique experiences of Black & Indigenous communities.

It erases Black identity, history, and the specificity of anti-Black racism. If you’re talking about Black people, just say Black.

It’s officially “Show me your favorite BIPOC authors” month.

Here’s a tip: search “Black + [your favorite genre]” Click on books, visit authors’ websites/socials, and follow them on Amazon.

Why? Because it trains your algorithm to include Black authors in your daily browsing—supporting them always

Going numb actually sounds peaceful 😩

I'm going to make myself a menace, though, and fight every step of the way. The inevitable breaking point scares the 💩 out of me

I'm literally torn between a nervous laugh and flat-out crying

Not today at least. But words like diverse and inclusive are banned… just a tiny hint of everything blasted today

Today, I got to witness in real time this administration wipe out decades of diversity progress at my agency. I have never felt despair this deep. I have no answers for my BIPOC employees because it's pure hate. I can only promise that this administration will hurt them over my DEAD FCKN BODY
