📚💙 #bookishass="text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400">#bookishpodcast #bookish

When I got the email that Toppling Stacks Book Tours was running a tour for Britney S. Lewis' book, I got very excited. I've casually known Britney for a while and heard her talking about her book, Blood Moon, so an opportunity to both read this book early and turn it into a podcast was the perfect combination. Blood Moon…

Book Review: “Rose in Chains” by Julie Soto

Stephanie the Literaryhypewoman | booksky @literaryhypewoman.bsky.social · Aug 29

One of the buzziest books of the year is #RoseInChains by #JulieSoto but does it live up to the hype? Check out my #boookreview now.

💙📚

One of the buzziest books of 2025 is Julie Soto's romantasy debut, Rose in Chains. I never got into the Harry Potter craze, so I was a bit nervous to dive into the deep end with Dramoine fan fiction, but in Julie I trust. Rose in Chains centers on Briony, the Princess of Evermore, as her country is going through it.

Probably the most insane thing I've ever done is moderate the #HazbinHotel and #HelluvaBoss panel at #ATLComicConvention. I went in expecting crazy and this was so much wilder, especially once #BrandonRogers crashed the party. Insanity.

Book Review: “Playing Flirty” by Shameez Patel

Stephanie the Literaryhypewoman | booksky @literaryhypewoman.bsky.social · Aug 21

New #BookReview (which I thought I posted a couple weeks ago. Oops.) Shameez Patel made her US debut this year with "Playing Flirty", which gives us the nerdiest of romances in the best way.
Check out my full review + interview with Shameez here.

📚💙 #romancelandia

When a book is described as 'the nerdiest book in the best way', then its definitely got my attention. That's the description a friend gave about Playing Flirty by Shameez Patel. Playing Flirty is about a nerdy girl named Rose who is just a wee bit obsessed with board games. Rose and her friends play together, and she even created her own...

Book Review: “These Summer Storms” by Sarah MacLean

Stephanie the Literaryhypewoman | booksky @literaryhypewoman.bsky.social · Aug 20

Sarah MacLean is known for her historical romance, but now she's venturing out into the contemporary romance space. Check out my review of her contemporary debut, These Summer Storms.

#bookish #bookreview 📚💙

Welcome to one of my most enjoyable books of 2025 thus far. I've loved Sarah MacLean's books for quite some time, especially her Hell's Belles series, so I was a little caught off guard when I heard she was publishing a contemporary novel. She's iconic in the historical romance space, and the switch made me curious about what idea grabbed her hard enough to try a different genre.
