5 delightful stars for Limerence and my favorite February read!

Felix is baby. 🥹👑

@scarlettedrake.bsky.social is magic.

In the world of ballet, there's no room for weakness- especially not when your fiercest rival is also your deepest desire. Limerence is a high-heat, banter filled, rivals to lovers mm romance set in the cut-throat world of classical ballet.

Limerence will be available 25 February 2025!

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

This is a clarification I have to make:

For people that voted for Trump, y’all don’t love lgbt, POC, or marginalized communities. You like what we make and you develop parasocial relationships with us online.

You can’t say you love someone and vote for the people that will cause them harm.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

I am in NY so I'm fortunate that I have my local library, along with Queens, Brooklyn, and NYPL. The biggest issue is that so many of the authors I read aren't available there. I utilize Libby as often as I'm able though. When I purchase physical books, I buy direct from the author when possible.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

I'm all for not supporting Amazon BUT so many of the authors I read are on there and not available through my library. For context, I read over 500 books last year. How do we support indie authors, and afford to consume so many books? 😭 #booksky

In the event that the authors and creators I support are able to get away from Meta, I'm moving my book content here. My 2024 recap for #booksky 😌

Ugh, not my age showing as I figure out how to work a new platform 🥹🫠

Here's my sweet baby Freya. Figured she's a good first post to have 🤣

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

✨ A look inside the special edition To Catch a Firefly ✨

Find in both hardcover and paperback online where books are sold, as well as signed from my shop. 📚

Thank you so much! I go back tomorrow to finish color and shading and I'm dyingggggg 🤣

I did one ebook read, have listened to the audio twice. Just got a physical copy for annotating with a special edition on the way. I also included a quote from it on my full sleeve book tattoo. I'm unhinged. 🤣

The audio is incredible!

Hands down, Oleander by Scarlett Drake. That book is everything.
