Hey all!

'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, overlaid with watercolor illustrations of a skull roses, daisies, and pine trees. The title 'HOUSE OF VALENTINE' is prominently displayed in large, elegant white letters. Below the title, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' and 'AGENT & EDITOR GUIDE' in smaller white font. The overall aesthetic is moody and romantic, with a gothic fantasy vibe.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'EXCERPT' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a poetic passage: 'If you could live for centuries—through famine and plague, through wars that razed cities and left ash in their wake, that not even a bomb crashing through your home could destroy you—would you choose immortality? Wouldn't you dream of such a gift? To remain as you were as the world crumbles around you, and rebuilds itself, endlessly? Of course you would. That’s the allure, isn’t it? The whispered fantasy of endless time, of infinite existence. But let me tell you: it’s a lie. A cruel promise. Because after enough centuries, you begin to wish for the plague to ravage your body, to tear through your flesh and wring you dry of life. You begin to long for the bomb to shatter you, burn away your skin until you’re nothing but bone and ash. You’d pray for the famine to hollow you out, for hunger to gnaw at your insides so violently that you might finally collapse under the weight of mortality. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, embellished with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'BLURB' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by the blurb: 'When anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything. House of Valentine is a gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn b-plot romance that will leave you breathless.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

I’m obsessed with this. I need to read this story!! I love time travel stories and this sounds so heartfelt and different from time travel stories I’ve read

a ferris wheel at a carnival with people riding it Alt: a ferris wheel at a carnival with people riding it

A boy falls through a hole while ice fishing and is saved by his fourteen-year-old Granddad in 1963. A stranger from the present confronts him at a county fair, but he wants to stay to have adventures with his healthy granddad, because the one at home is sick. #WSPit #WSPitQ #MG #CON #F

That sounds like an adorable book

Okay I love this

Moodboard featuring four photos: Bottom left: view of a museum second floor. museum has columns and arches in the architecture. Left: closeup of a violin as someone plays it. Top right: Violin sitting on a dark surface. Bottom right: artistic music staff with notes. On the right is a color palette in browns ranging from dark to light. A sticky note in the bottom right says: Finn's Fiddle

🎻Two women, each with different deals to the same god. Both on the same mission to steal a legendary violin out of a museum. But while one recognizes the price of failure, the other does not understand consequences. Can they sort out their differences before midsummer's end? #WSPit #WSPitQ #A #F #ND

Interesting!!!

This is an interesting premise!

Bright coloured moodboard with words One rule: Don't open the trunk.

The job had 1 rule: don’t open the car’s trunk.

Should have been a 2nd rule: don’t give your friend a lift or she will absolutely break the one rule.

Now, an interdimensional smoke monster is free and hungry for souls.

Who has our disaster bi been working for?

When anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything.
