Finishing up a 2025 book round-up - just shy of 12 #BeautyandtheBeast books for the year... and other faves, too. It was a good, moody reading year. You?

Fab opp last week to hear @misterkristoff.bsky.social talk about hot-off-the-press, Empire of the Dawn via @halfpricebooks.bsky.social. Loved seeing a diverse set of fans & author appreciation of each who brought books & stories to share.

Can't wait to crack open this final chapter. ❤️‍🔥 #booksky
