Women be critiquing dates harshly because they be leaving out the part where they don’t like the man. When you like a man, you like doing anything with him. Y’all be entertaining people you KNOW you don’t like.

Fantasy for sure. Also a big fan of what I like to call "mindless reads," fast-paced, character driven romance. The lack of in depth plot is low effort and makes my brain happy, it's like a palette cleanser. 😅😂

Reading wrap-up for September has dropped!

Last month was a hard one for me. I didn't have a lot of motivation to read. At 100 books read for 2025, I think I may be starting to hit a slump.

Here's to hoping October is better. 🙈

I enjoyed this series. Era 1 had me sobbing by the end of The Hero of Ages. Era 2 has me excited to start The Stormlight Archives. 🎉

Double standards drive me wild. Treat others how you want to be treated. If you don't provide what you require, then you can't complain when you dont receive it.

the perfect meme to describe me doesn't exi--

nvmd.

So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

I was right 😭 what the fuck was that? 💔 #booksky 📚💙

Reading "The Things We Leave Unfinished," and why do I get the sinking feeling that this book is going to emotionally destroy me? 🥲 #booksky 📚💙

“I’m sorry. If I see a black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘boy hops he’s qualified.’” - Charlie Kirk

Zero sleep lost.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

This death shouldn’t be the one to cause you to discuss political violence, school shootings or gun violence. 18 kids were shot, 2 murdered last month, a Minnesota rep and her husband were shot dead in their home in June, the CDC was shot up last month. This is not new, this is America.

Am I the only one who finds it off strange when books use current slang? I don't hate it, but it's definitely odd. This book keeps talking about birds being robots and government spies 😂 also said she "lost the plot" earlier. #booksky 📚💙

Just finished Twisted Hate by Ana Huang. 4 🌟 I liked it better than the last two, which I think is a controversial opinion, but I enjoyed their banter. I'm excited for Stella and Christian's installment 🤩

Next up is Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas 💕 #booksky 📚💙

Oh HELL yes

The one thing you can count on from a Kristin Hannah book is that at some point, she's going to make you cry. Just finished Home Front and, with that, marks my 7th Kirstin Hannah book. 🥳 #booksky 📚 💙

I didn't like how quickly Graham turned on the narrator. I feel like they had spent enough time together that he should have been able to give her the benefit of the doubt. I understand being upset, but holding her at gunpoint more than once was a wild choice.

Just finished The Ministry of Time. 3.25 🌟 I enjoy a lot of this book. Unfortunately, the ending ruined it for me. 🥲 #booksky 📚💙

June reading wrap-up has landed! 🤩 Last month was fantastic for reads! #booksky 📚💙
