Welcome new followers. If I do not follow you right away, it’s because I’m either sleeping or I’m working, and I will do my best to follow you back as soon as I can.
Also, I added my age to my bio, so be aware of that before following me so it doesn’t become a personal issue for some.

Unpopular #writing/ #reading opinion but as much as I love fantasy series, I don’t think it’s necessary for authors to stretch out a series just to feed fan service. I know that doesn’t make much sense, but authors need to be able to move on from past works and be able to dream up something new.

Randomly thinking about the times when I used to write fanfiction for a TV show and stopped because someone copy and pasted my entire story onto Wattpad.

Every time I rewatch #Friends I feel the need to skip season 2 episodes with Richard in them. Like I’m sorry I know a lot of fans loved him, but it’s so icky to me that Richard knew Monica as a child and ended up dating her. I know they’re both adults but it makes my skin crawl.

Writers, weird question, but do any of you have a shower pen? 🤣

I love it over here on blue sky, but sometimes I forget that I can be a sarcastic B and some people tend to take some of my book reviews a little too seriously. Imma help y’all out by knowing that if I use an emoji like this 😂😅🤣🥲 I am joking, mkay?

Since full-cast audiobooks have become popular, I would love to share the audio book that made me fall in love with full-cast books, Legends of Grim. The story is an adult sci-fi dystopian, with a pinch of fantasy thrown in.
#booksky #readersky #audiobooks
This image shows a screenshot of one of the episodes of Legends of Grim audiobook done by a full-cast of actors. Written and co-directed by the author himself Nicholas Ryan Howard. The image contains a brief summary of what the chapter is about. The chapter summary: “The main character Vant meets another character Skii Tavee while she’s in prison. Meanwhile, mysterious forces threaten their hometown called Land Escape.” The episode Note: This chapter corresponds with chapter five in the written novel. AD NOTE: Skii Furious Heart is an exciting companion Story to “Mortal Enemy. “Skii Furious Heart is NOT included in the audiobook. This image includes photos of some of the actors that are apart of the audiobook cast. This cast includes: Reid Scott, Eric Christian Olsen, Troian Bellisario, Chris Pine, Keegan Allen, Patrick J Adam’s, and more.

Unpopular opinion, but “fated mates” trope is kinda lazy writing unless it can be done well. Most writers will use this trope to force their main characters together without writing in natural chemistry, tension, and real build up to connections.

Adding Red Queen to my #tbr list because if Red Queen really was the inspiration for Powerless than it has to be amazing. 🤩

I feel bad for book fans who want to see their favorite series turned into movies and tv shows because let’s be honest, we’re living in the worst times for anything to become a tv show. Streaming services have ruined tv viewing and networks cancel everything after 2 seasons.

My 2026 news years resolution is to get better at baking. I love to cook but I’ve never been much of a baker.

I have a lot of car repairs to make which means I won’t be able to buy new books for awhile. 😭

Just finished reading #Quicksilver I’m going to be honest I didn’t totally understand the overall plot of this book. I kinda enjoyed it but I don’t know if I liked it. The romance plot of it was predictable and rushed for my taste. Too much was happening at once.
Rating: 3/5

Imma say it. Unless a book is only meant to be a standalone I’m actually not a huge fan of the main couple of a series (officially) getting together in the very first book. I like pining and tension in multiple books Beforehand. The first book in a series is never enough buildup. #booksky #reading

Could be biased but I’ve seen posts online saying Lauren’s books are just a bunch of other book ideas shoved into her own fantasy story. Do y’all realize that a lot today’s books aren’t that original either? For centuries authors have took inspiration from other authors. It’s nothing new.

Halfway through reading Quicksilver. I wasn’t getting it at first but now it’s slowly pulling me in and I’m excited to find out more going forward.

This has been on my #tbrlist for a few weeks now. It was supposed to be an October month read but better late than never, I guess.
Hope this lives up to the hype I’ve heard. 😅
No spoilers please!

Adena is better than me, because if I saw Mak hating on my best friend and blaming her for my death, I would’ve kicked his star ass out of my sky. Sure, he came around when it counted, but Mak still genuinely wanted to hurt Paedyn. Something Adena would NOT have stood for. #booksky #Fearless

Alight fellas, I’m starting Quicksilver tonight so I guess technically I can count it as an October month read, right. Right? 😅 #booksky #readersky #books

Kitt only being able to love Kai low-key doesn’t make much sense. Yes, I get it was because of his relationship to his father that he struggled, but he had Gail who actually took care of both him and Kai as children. He also had Jax and Andy who loved him as well. He wasn’t alone. #Fearless #booksky
