Paige S. on Pages ✨

Me holding up a physical copy of Spiral, by Bal Khabra. There is an added graphic of headphones since I read the audiobook.

Audiobook Review. Tropes are: fake dating, opposites attract, found family, and forced proximity. The image shows the PRH Audio App playing Spiral by Bal Khabra.

💙📚 Thank you Berkley and PRH Audio for the complimentary copies of 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥!

I think Bal Khabra is a fan of “Romance Tropes Bingo”, because 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥 hits all of my favorites and then some! 🙌

Read if you 💖:
•💋 Fake Dating
• 💞 Opposites Attract
• 🏡 Found Family
• 🛏️ Forced Proximity

💙📚Thank you, Berkley, for the early copy of BK Borison’s newest romance! Happy Release Day to 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫, the first swoon-worthy romance in the Heartstrings series.

Read if you ❤️:
• 💖 Grumpy x Sunshine
• 🎙️ Forced Proximity
• 🏡 Found Family
• 😍 Not knowing which MC to fall for

💙📚 I started First-Time Caller by BK Borison last night and I can’t decide if I’m more in love with Aiden Valentine or Lucie Stone. 😅

Seriously, this book is about to make all the bisexual-umbrella readers feel like Hannah Montana this month. (Because we’re getting the best of both worlds) ☎️ 💕

The cover of “Spiral” by Bal Khabra. There’s a hockey player holding a ballet dancer’s hand up as she turns

Happy Monday! I’m starting the week off by listening to “Spiral” by Bal Khabra. 🏒🩰📚💙

What are you reading today?

This looks like an amazing place to read! 📚

Ran out of room but wanted to say the last 20% of the book was the best part, especially the ending! 🩵

Although there’s no magic, it is a combat school in a mythical land, so if you’re missing a certain series by a certain terrible person, consider reading this instead.

The cover of “In Other Lands” by Sarah Rees Brennan. The cover includes two mermaids

I fell behind on reading this week, but I finished “In Other Lands” by Sarah Rees Brennan. 📚💙

A friend recommended me it after I read “This Will Be Fun”, and I can 100% see the similarities!

I struggled with the beginning but once I got 50% through I couldn’t put it down. #booksky

An ARC copy of “Celebrity Crush” by Christy Swift with a note from a member of Forever Romance’s marketing team. The note says “Hi Paige, I know you are a fan of celebrity romances so I HAD to get you a copy of celebrity crush by Christy Seiff! I hope you adored it as much as I did. Happy reading, Alli”

When you’re so in love with your favorite trope that even the publishers have noticed! 💕

I don’t think they’re on here, but thank you Forever Romance for sending an ARC of “Celebrity Crush” by Christy Smith! As a big fan of celebrity romances, I can’t wait to read it. 🥰 💙📚 #booksky

Me too! Glad you’re here with us 🥰

This week has felt like seven years

It’s not even Friday 🫠

Just a heads up that they might not be on NetGalley for request yet! These were sent to me by the publisher.

A screenshot of my NetGalley shelf showing the ARCs of “Well, Actually” by Mazey Eddings and “Rewind to Us” by Molly Morris are ready to download.

Not two of my most anticipated releases for this year popping up in my inbox at the SAME TIME 😍

Any other @mazeyeddings.bsky.social or Molly Morris fans out in our little #booksky 💙📚 circle? #rewindtous #wellactually

As if I need my TBR to be any bigger but whoops, there it goes, onto my list 🤪

A stack of books in front of a bookshelf with a nonbinary flag. Books: - Cute Mutants by SJ Whitby - The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia - The Thread that Binds by Cedar McCloud - Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston by Esme Symes-Smith - The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught - Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco

Representation matters. So, here's some of my favorite books with MCs on the nonbinary spectrum.

A photo of me, a shorter, brown haired woman, reaching up to grab a book from the shelves of Nowhere Bookshop. I have three books cradled in my other arm. The covers are all for brightly-colored romances. There are cards on the shelves showing employee recommendations.

A display at Nowhere Bookshop reads “Tis the Season to read Trans Fiction”. On the display are small clear shelves showcasing Trans books, one of which has a sticker for The Happy Endings Book Club. There are also trans pride stickers and bookmarks. In the back of the image, you can see the cafe counter.

Holding up the book “The Next Best Fling”by Gabriella Gamez. The cover features a tall blonde-haired man ebracing a shorter, brown-haired woman against a bookshelf. Behind are people in chairs set up for an author event at Nowhere Bookshop.

You know who will always be brave enough to showcase #bannedbooks? Your local #indiebookstore! 🙌

I’m always visiting @nowherebookshop.bsky.social for new releases & author events. They even have some in-house book clubs, a café/bar, and a craft night! 💕

Spread the love and shout out your fave! 💙📚

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Ran out of space, but CW: Miscarriage, Racial Violence

Also I forgot to add alt text, but the image is of the cover of “The Wind on Her Tongue”. It features the silhouette of a young girl’s profile. There is a rainbow gradient behind it, and the I in “wind” is a lightning bolt”.

Happy Release Day to The Wind on Her Tongue by Anita Kopacz!

The long-awaited companion to Shallow Waters is a reimagining of the Yoruban deity Oya. If you enjoy diverse stories about persevering through life’s darkest storms, be sure to add this one to your TBR! 💙📚 #BookSky

Just a reminder that my account will always be a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. Sending lots of love to the trans community in particular today 🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Y’all… y’all know what that’s slang for, right? 😳

Today is a good day to read a book and ignore the rest of the world. 💙📚

(If you still have cable, I also recommend putting the television on any non-news related channel. Drop those ratings 😉)

Kim!! Welcome to BlueSky 🦋

This is exactly the pack I’ve been looking for!! If there is still space, I am a queer reviewer as well ☺️
🩷💛🩵

Dad humor is a dying art and I’m here to keep it up 🤣

I’ll be on both and I’m still staying off META platforms for the week! I want to hit them where it hurts (their wallets)

Apparently TikTok is back up for the US AND there’s a notes feature? That’s suspicious 🤨

(Also who knows if this was a delayed TikTok update that I didn’t get until the ban did a whole refresh for me 😆)

This has been on my shelf forever! I’m hoping to get to it this year as I’m doing a backlist bingo in my book journal

Would love to be added! Thank you ☺️
