first spooky read for october

tali 🎀 @oequaltemper.bsky.social · 10d

release by suzanne clay

welp, here's to 101. this is a pretty good read. it's kinky and soft and cute and romantic and all the good things. a super safe, sane and consensual (like extremely consensual) relationship that starts between a boss and employee.

i'm so glad!!!

i love unrealistic sexpectations in fic and romance books alike cause why not?? but the one thing that always makes me wince is the constant double penetration with NO warning beforehand. no practicing, not stretching just both right in there

oh i know!!! even then $50 shocked me…

it’s national truth and reconciliation day today (or orange shirt day!) in canada and ten years since the trc report came out. if you have the day off, remember it’s supposed to be about learning!! lots of good resources over on nctr.ca 🧡

brat baby by harley madison

this is the third in the series, one more left!! there's just something about this series that i love. it doesn't take itself too seriously and it's very focused on the kink. can't wait for the next and final book.

sincerely, your inconvenient wife by julia wolf

i actually read the first book a year or two ago?? and recently went back to it, trying to find something to read. my interest has been all over the place recently but this was a super enjoyable book. loved the writing style! fake marriage turned real

stolen touches by neva altaj

really loved this one. it was such an easy read, never dragging. salvatore is "emotionless" except when it comes to milene. always interesting mmc's.

tali 🎀 @oequaltemper.bsky.social · 14d

seeing soooo many posts lately about how people hate baby just so much and any other condescending nickname meanwhile i have based my biggest fic on the very pet name

having this new thing happen at work where people tell me they took a stab at writing something with ai and could i make sure it looks ok. the answer is no. i'm not editing ai slop.

i just have so many opinions about things and i keep them all to myself

ruined secrets - neva altaj

this is one of my favourite mafia romance series because it's not super dark and it's good as a palate cleanser or when i'm not sure what to move on to next. age gap, arranged marriage, memory loss. what more could you want?

twisted game by eva ashwood

this was a bit of a struggle for me. i liked the *sound* of the book (dark romance, reverse harem) but i was actually a bit bored. it got more interesting later in the book so i might continue with the series, but we'll see.

last week literally everything in my life that could go wrong, did go wrong. trying to give myself some grace here but i feel like i'm just constantly on high alert.

with a little luck by jillian west

i love jillian west's books because i find them to be so perfectly low-stress. this wasn't my favourite but i still enjoyed it. trigg was my favourite alpha, a perfect little psychopath.

the night prince by lauren palphreyman

it's getting dramatic. i'm not usually a fan of love triangles (just pick them all, girl) but this has hooked me. It's perfectly smutty and angsty and the fantasy aspect isn't too difficult to wrap your head around!

just saw someone complaining about “cartoons” as book covers (art) but also men as book covers so like…what do you want just the title or??

oh man. won't be watching any nhl games for the foreseeable future with the news of the five reinstated 'players'. way to alienate an entire audience

tali 🎀 @oequaltemper.bsky.social · Sep 10

book to movie/tv adaptations only make me think of beautiful disaster (a literal disaster) and i immediately go...don't do it. not worth it.
