I didn’t run from the ballroom. I walked quickly. The laughter & chatter of the gala danced across the hotel, chasing me as I escaped the festivities. I settled into the sun that shined through the full windowed doors of the hotel lobby.

AN image of the Greek god Apollo in modern clothing with text in the top right corner that says "PERCY JACKSON x TWILIGHT but for adults.... because immortals dating teens is kind of weird if you actually think about it." Then the title across the center is A Greek God Got Me Pregnant. Then in the center at the bottom text that reads "When Larkin discovers she’s pregnant after a very out-of-character one-night stand with a man who turns out to be the Greek god Apollo, she must face monsters, vengeful gods, & most terrifyingly, her feelings for Apollo to protect herself & her unborn child."

It’s been a long time since I stayed up way too late on a work night reading, but And They Were Roommates by Page Powers got me. 70 pages left but I must sleep or I will be useless tomorrow 😅 Go get a copy of And They Were Roommates 🥰

I forgot ZapWhamPow did poetry too! 😊

Crissie (C.T. Wood) @crissthecreative.bsky.social · 1d

With few exceptions, I generally only spend time w/ other people while doing theatre… so when I’m pretending to be someone else 😅

Full Disclosure: I do spend time w/ others & *gasp* enjoy it. I just need time w/ books to recharge in between

Because I’m apparently not me without a challenge of some sort, I’m thinking of trying to do a poem of day based on a random poetry prompt generator. For how long? I don’t know. Will I even remember this idea tomorrow? We shall see! 😅

Reading And They Were Roommates by Page Powers. Why do I feel like it’s Jasper’s backstory that’ll make me cry?

Nothing has been revealed yet. I’m just suspicious. He’s hiding something too…

I love that our phones just have little icons for both witches and vampires 🤭

How can you expect her to ignore such a pull? 😂

Cara Meldapes @carameldapesauthor.bsky.social · 1d

What witch Cassandra will do to save her sisters from the battlefield
✅ Stop a prophesied war
✅ Lie to her Coven Mother
✅ Partner with a vampire diplomat
✅ Investigate an explosion framing witches
✅ Accept her power as the 3rd strongest
🤔 Ignore the magical pull to the alluring vampire

Nikolai is SUCH a good name!

Trust no one. That is almost definitely not the lesson she’s meant to learn, but it’s a place to start 😂

Kayley is stressfully revising @lowvisionliterary.bsky.social · 1d

As Death's reapers are murdered, a newly dead spirit stranded by the war agrees to spy on their killers in exchange for passage to the afterlife. But as she gets to know the spirit army, she begins to wonder who the real enemy is and whose word she can trust.

AMARI X LAST HOPE SCHOOL
When a magical villain school recruits (aka kidnaps) 12y/o Carsen, she must win her freedom by becoming the best villain in her grade, or else the school will use Carsen’s strange magic to return her supervillain aunt to power. #DVpit #MG #F

Crissie (C.T. Wood) @crissthecreative.bsky.social · 1d

Being kidnapped is a great way to get kids to conform. I’m sure that won’t go poorly for the school at all 😂

Crissie (C.T. Wood) @crissthecreative.bsky.social · 1d

Why do I feel there is more to his story as to why he became a “sellout”? 🤔

hanna @hhoshino-writes.bsky.social · 1d

When headstrong public interest lawyer Camila Gonzales has to team up with her ex-law school rival on a work project that’ll make or break her career, sparks fly between them, and Camila must divine if she’s willing to risk everything she’s built by trusting this corporate sellout.

The “save the world” lawyer and the “sell out” lawyer. Now that’s a dynamic!

Honestly, I’d want her on the PTA more 🤷‍♀️

Alyson Greene @alysoncgreene.bsky.social · 1d

To scare away the PTA, a single mom claims to be a witch. When displays of roadkill and pentagrams appear at school, she’s the main suspect. To clear her name, she works with the asst principal to find the culprit, but they struggle to keep their eyes (and hands) off each other. #DVpit #lgbt #romcom

Crissie (C.T. Wood) @crissthecreative.bsky.social · 1d

Oh I am totally using “I’m a witch” to get people to back off. Hopefully, I don’t end up similarly framed though 😬

I love a good battle with a school board…

Alyson Greene @alysoncgreene.bsky.social · 1d

Single mom, Ella doesn’t have time for romance.
Especially not with the asst principal who reminds her of Maleficent.
Especially since her teen daughter would disown her.
And especially since the school board is already out for blood.

“His to adore… Theirs to ruin.”

I am ruined, and I need this book.

In the otherworldly Sythmore, grief-stricken Amara seeks death in her marriage to Xelan, the infamous Black Widower, only to be bound as soulmates.
And as they navigate their bond, the perilous world calls for one price for their budding hope in Fate; her life.
