I just started sobbing because I was thinking about how my pup would have been so sad and confused if I had never just never come back from my surgery and now I’m so depressed.

Xena pictures because she’s the cutest.

I truly cannot get over how gorgeous this book cover is. #booksky

A book on top of a grey comforter. The book depicts a dragon with a blindfold on standing behind an armored man, who holds a sword. The man also wears a blindfold. The book is titled Defiant in the Songs of Chaos series by Michael R. Miller.

As always, I love everything by Lyonne Riley. This one was so sweet and fun, I absolutely adored it. Also starting us off with her on a breeding table was an amazing way to jump right in, thank you for that. #booksky

Graphic depicting a book review of the book Bred by the Wolfman by Lyonne Riley. Shows a 4.5 star rating, includes a quote that says: “I knew I had nothing to worry about. But on that other level, the one I’m trying desperately to banish, I wanted to eat him.”

The Covenant of Steel left me so fulfilled, but the entire story had me sobbing and in absolute turmoil Alwyn had one of the most incredible character developments I’ve read in a very long time, including admitted faults and failures. I cannot recommend this series enough. #booksky

Grey and red graphic depicting the cover of The Traitor by Anthony Ryan, with 4.75 stars under the book cover. It also included a quote that says “One more thing I am grateful for is that you will not see what I have to do.”

Obsessed. #booksky

Gold and black graphic depicting a book review. The book is The Martyr by Anthony Ryan. Rated with 4 and a half stars. The review says: “This series has me on my toes. incredible characters, amazing worldbuilding, phenomenal storyline. Each move, each decision is so calculated. I absolutely love books that show the consequences for even choices that we deem to be small.” There is a quote underneath that says “That was the day the churls learned the nobles bleed like they do.”

Short, sweet, queer read with comfortable and casual nonbinary rep that I truly need these days. Loved this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This was phenomenal. It was even better as a reread, I love the characters, the story, the narration. The casual brutality of their life, and the way that short sighted decisions can have huge consequences is just fantastic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This is book number three for me by V.E. Schwab, I think I’m just not the right audience. I made it 59% in, and while it’s well written and has an interesting enough story, I was bored for most of it. I felt the same way with Addie Larue and A Darker Shade of Magic. I know others will love it!
