Also need to do some SERIOUS crafting before Christmas so audiobooks are a need

Anyone have some good winter/holiday thriller/horror/mystery audiobook recs? Been reading a lot of holiday romance with my eyes and want to have something different to read with my ears! #BookSky #Audiobooks

If you haven’t read it yet, do yourself a favor and GET ON IT. (And read the audio-it’s perfect!)

I absolutely couldn’t put this one down and it just flew to the top of my list for holiday romances (of which I’ve read… a lot)

This book is somehow so much fun while also being achingly tender. The pull between Maggie and Ethan is the kind that makes your heart squeeze and your eyes start to burn a little bit because you’re sure you’re going to start crying any minute

And as people who make up crimes for a living, our two MCs Maggie and Ethan ✨obviously✨ have to team up to solve the case

They receive a mysterious invitation to a Christmas retreat at an English manor which turns out to be being hosted by none other than mystery writer LEGEND Eleanor Ashley. What follows is, obviously, a classic snowed-in, locked-room mystery with the whole cast of cooky characters

This book is billed as Knives Out with a holiday romcom twist and features a cozy mystery queen and thriller king as our two main characters who are, obviously ✨rivals✨ (but like… the best kind of rivals where SHE thinks they’re rivals and he’s secretly been in love with her for years)

2/ tbh I knew this one was either going to be an instant hit or a major flop based on the cover alone and thankfully IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT

Just finished reading the audiobook for The Most Wonderful Crime of the year by Ally Carter and excuse me while I scream about it for just a moment 1/

The cover of The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter

18% in to this audiobook so far and it’s exactly what I expected and absolutely charming. Great narration, too! #BookSky

Novembwr was kind of hit or miss for me, but mostly hits @thestorygraph.com #BookSky

Two screenshots on a white background with the caption: a tale in two screenshots… The first screenshot is an iMessage that reads: “This whole plan is screaming what happens when chaotic bisexuals scheme together” The second screenshot is of a green check mark and text that says: “Confirmed, your flight is booked!”

Lore piece #7: last year for my birthday I decided I wanted cannoli so I booked a last minute flight to visit a Booktok friend (@ zoereadsqueer) and we not only got cannoli but she threw me a birthday party where we made people do dramatic readings of my favorite sapphic spice scenes 🌶️

how i plan to be a more conscious reader in 2025: a thread 🧵 #booksky

Lore piece #3: I intended to get a dog after a big breakup a year and a half ago. This guy decided to show up at 2 weeks old instead and so now I have a cat.

Lore piece #2: I went to college in Scotland (yes, for all four years)! I got to travel all over Europe for super cheap and I miss it 😭

I just thought my best friends various boyfriends weren’t good enough for her. Very straight behavior.

Lore piece #1: In middle school I once declared myself a nun and swore off boys.

I didn’t realize I was bi until I was 25 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not to mention our anti-BDS laws, the state treasurer who went to an Israeli bonds conference and lied about it (and then invested like crazy in them post 10/7) and… how many of our last few governors have self-funded their own campaigns???
