I have been writing book reviews since I was 17. Over the past few years I have reviewed books for some amazing places & this year I want to do more.

I have my hands on a few galleys/advanced copies
Do you know any places I can place book reviews?

(🎤does this work? #booksky do your thing!)
October vibes. Crisp leaves. Festivities kick off. Spooky season. 🍁🍂🎃👻

Some book recommendations?

• Hot for Slayer by Ali Hazelwood
• Bride/Mate by Ali Hazelwood
• The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

No, YOU might be having a great weekend. I, on the other hand, am feeling seen (read: called out) by this book
📖: Drawn Together by Juliana Smith

I am saving my Bride and Mate reading for Halloween, but scrolling through everyone’s 10/10 reviews on Mate is giving me SO MUCH FOMO!!!

I have already read Hot for Slayer and First by Ali Hazelwood so I know I am in for a treat, too!

You know there’s a Ted Lasso rewatch ongoing when you come back to this poem

Sometimes you should just read the books everyone is going crazy over because they’re swooning for a reason.
Read Deep End by Ali Hazelwood and I understand why the girlies are obsessed with Lukas Blomqvist.
This ⬇️ has been ringing in my ears and flashing in my brain all day long. 🫠

If you like books about female friendships, I have a recommendation for you: So Thrilled For You by Holly Bourne. Dives right into the deep-end messiness of women's friendships.

Running Point on Netflix is such a delightful watch for a TV buff like me, purely for the casting. So many familiar faces from television and movies of the 2000s and 2010s. And such tight writing. Mindy Kaling knows how to keep you hooked. 😍

“How can you talk about books at a time like this?”

“Because if I don’t talk about books, I’m gonna talk about murder and I’d rather rather go on book tour than go to prison. Also, fascists hate books, especially those written by people like me. So books, motherfucker. ALL THE BOOKS.”
