Do I know how to use this app? No. Am I still going to post incessantly about the Romantacy I’m writing about a woman who sees how everyone will die and is kidnapped by a man whose death she can’t see?

Obviously.

Mystery/Thriller, think Happy Death Day meets The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. First lines: “I never forgot the first time I died. Or the second. But the other three hundred and twenty four tend to blur together.” #booksky #query #author

💖 Rivals to lovers, because there’s not quite as tasty as two people who hate/resent each other to the point they can’t exist without each other.

❌ Miscommunication. Because seriously an entire book long fight that could be solved with one single adult conversation? I’m so good, thanks.

Forever in my acknowledgments 🫡

Every month I stumble on a new favorite read and it’s so beautiful to me that someone out there spent years writing an amazing story and it found me and I found it.

Authors really are the world’s best blessing.

🥺😭

Every time ppl get into a brawl in a big box store, the item isn't worth it. They're making you fight for a book? In the year of our lord 2025? Instead of just ... printing more copies?

This is intentional scarcity for the sake of hype. And if they have to create artificial hype, well.

Not to mention the “original artwork” in said book is just cropped versions of someone else’s artwork 🙃

To be fair, 99% of my improvements are because of you. You can take all the credit for that 🙂‍↕️
