Saw a lady looking at books and reading the backs of popular ones, so I decided to talk to her:) I recommend my fav book and she bought it! She said I made her day because she just started reading and didn’t know where to start. She was feeling lost. Made me so happy. I hope she loves it ⏰📚💙

I’ve been in a reading lull since i finished Exodus by Kate Stewart, the second book in the Ravenhood Trilogy. I’m still having difficulty getting into the Finish Line, even though it’s been 2-3 weeks 🫣

Book grief is so real!

my best friend is also a book friend. I LOVE that we read similar genres & book club them. We’ve been long distance friends for a couple years now and i want her back home.

I’m trying to convince her to come back, while also wanting the best for her and her growth. Adult friendships are hard.

y’all made my day when i logged into the app and saw i had more followers. it feels good to have people care about what i have to say 💙💙📚⏰

that’s the funny thing about apps like this - you follow to read their thoughts. Kinda neat when you think about it. I know it’s obvious, but nice to remember🫶🏻

Hi friends!! I took a little break but now I’m back 🤭

I can't start Finish Line yet; my heart is too shattered from Exodus. I've never felt heartbreak like this from a book. The characters were so real—I fell in love and then into grief. I've read sad stories, but nothing compares to the pain of Exodus. There’s nothing like it. It still hurts.

The final book of the Ravenhood series has me hesitant to start after Exodus rocked me. I'm curious: will it be happier? Will I find closure? Can I let go of my love for characters she didn’t choose? Will the rain bring comfort instead of sorrow? Let’s see💙📚

I finished Exodus and wish I could go back to Flock. This book wrecked me—every emotion from anger to acceptance. I hate it but understand it. Kate Stewart is brilliant yet cruel.

I want to give it 4 stars out of stubbornness, even though it deserves 5.

4/5⭐️ because I’m sad and stubborn.

Not prepared to be emotionally destroyed and never recover✌️😗

Here goes nothin’

Exodus, please be kind to me

This book has not been kind to me at all 😭 it’s 3:03am and I can’t stop torturing myself 83% in. I just want everything to be okay and perfect again.

Kate Stewart, you beautiful monster.

Fans of this series, any encouragement is welcomed. Please tell me everything will be okay😭😭

Tough day yesterday. My favorite character died unexpectedly. My mentally ill grandmother said I’m manipulative and will never amount to anything.

Stuck in limbo between two worlds hurting me at the same time. Tough to choose which one I “deal” with today.

Thank god for cats, though

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

You are, in fact, not being kind to me 😭

Question for authors:

When you write the “great unbearable death”, the death scene of a beloved character, the scene that shatters our hearts and makes us cry, what is YOUR emotional state while telling that part of the story?

Do you cry with us? No? Be honest! No wrong answers.

Does this make me a book influencer? with the homies, yes ✌️🥹

My girls had to start the series so they have context for what I’m about to hyperfixate on and never shut up about😭

(i.e. My latest google search: “how do you attract ravens to your yard?”)

I finished Flock!!! WHO TF IS THE FRENCHMAN? Omw to get Exodus. This series will ruin me, I just know it. But I’m ready 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Starting the Ravenhood series. I’ve heard good things. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype 🤞🏼

I understand why you guys suggested the Ravenhood series by Kate Stewart. Only 77% finished with Flock. Omw to Triple Falls rn 🏃🏻‍♀️💨
