Mixed spring tulips grow aplenty in rows. The tulips are white, purple, yellow, pink, and a pink/yellow mix.
Rows of pink/white, red, and yellow tulips grow on a farm with red barns, tall trees, and the Cascade Mountains in the background.
Tiptoed through the tulips yesterday π·ππ·ππ·

A pinched photo of me with my photos app faded behind the photo. (Iβm so sorry I donβt know how to describe how I did this. I am smart but also not smart.)
About me: my photos are all of books, me trying to look presentable, my cat, and me kissing my cat. So. Yeah.

Itβs rare to see accounts of DV perpetuated by women, especially wlw accounts. Be prepared for dreamy imagery, nightmares, and haunted houses.

I honestly donβt want to say anything else so you can go into it with a clean slate.

4 years on my shelf later, I absolutely loved this adaptation. The illustrations were gorgeous. There were even little modern updates given that the graphic novel came out 20 years after the OG.

I wanted to read this because I liked Ali Hazelwoodβs Brideβ¦it wasnβt for me. π€·π»ββοΈ It is definitely of its era (00s paranormal romance) so if thatβs your vibe here you go! If you donβt like non-con in darker romances though, I donβt recommend.

A page from the graphic novel of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The page shows a teen girl with a blanket wrapped around herself looking into the mirror at her scabbed, bitten up lips.
A page from the graphic novel of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The page shows four teenage girls dressed as witches having fun on Halloween.
A page from the graphic novel of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The page depicts a girl sitting in her closet with her head in her hands. The door to her closet is open and we can see her messy room and drawings of trees on the wall.
Two pages from the graphic novel of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The pages contain one scene of a girl punching an assaulter and screaming βNo!β
Finally cracked open the graphic novel version of one of my favorite books. Did you read this modern classic?

Book 4 for TRR π³οΈββ§οΈ: Love After the End
Indigiqueer sci-fi speculative fiction.
Sci-fi isnβt a genre I often read, so this collection of stories was a great exposure to some new-to-me authors.

This was a memoir, an interview, and a queer abolitionist history lesson all in one. Highly recommend!

This memoir is so important! Itβs short and sweet (and heartbreaking and joyful & & &) but packs a punch.
What a gorgeous love letter to the trans community. π©·

I LOVED this story. Accidental pregnancies arenβt my jam mid book (especially mid-series) but you know what youβre getting from the outset with this one. And itβs so damn sweet. The perfect read to usher in spring. πΈ

A purple lit room with blue and red skeletons sitting on funky chairs, a gold ornate mirror, and floral tapestries on the wall.
A room in the Stanley hotel with grey and gold accents, a framed painting of Stephen King on the wall, and a painting of a nude woman above the bed.

Being a new mother DOES sound like a horror show in #dearest. This story was creepy in a similar way to the Smile franchise. IYKYK.

π§ This was such a fun listen! I loved the setting, and the chemistry between these two was off the charts!
Also Iβm realizing that novellas might be the exact audiobook length that I enjoy listening to. Jotting that down for later.
