Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay! I hope that everyone who was out shopping stayed healthy, safe, & found tons of new books to bring home.

I wasn't able to shop in-store this weekend but I've been making lists & definitely ordered books from some of my favorites.

If this isn't foreshadowing I'm going to be super disappointed, my guy.

A Goodreads update for The Broposal: "My M.O. is putting the book down right before the third act drama unfolds so I can go to sleep happy 🙂‍↕️ That's tomorrow Lindsey's problem."

1. A marriage of convenience between childhood best friends
2. How is anyone going to believe us if we don't practice kissing first?
3. Queer awakening
4. Autistic MC

It's everything to me. 😭💕

Holding copy of The Broposal by Sonora Reyes Excerpt from The Broposal- highlighted text: "I just mean... Maybe we should practice?... We have to look convincing if we're kissing in public."

BK Borison charmed the hell out of me with First-Time Caller. I loved it so much!

A small (and hopefully manageable) TBR for February.

My biggest goals are to finish The Broken Earth trilogy and to do my rereads of Legendborn and Bloodmarked.

"A madcap adventure following two friends on a cross-country bus tour through the mind-boggling glitches in their simulated world as they grapple with love, family, secrets, and the very nature of reality in a simulation."

So excited for this one! Thank you @sagapressbooks.bsky.social 🙂‍↕️🩷 #booksky

Also, another reading update via pics:

I have the ALC for A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera and I am having a great time.

#booksky
The cover for the audio book of A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera A selfie of me holding my hoodie over my face while I smile big. The text box says "a moment for the men who see their love working tirelessly to take care of everyone else so they quietly make sure she is FED. Anytime, any place, no limits as long as she's being taken care of 🙂‍↕️💕" There is a sticker of the cover for A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera with the label " specific shout out to Apollo from my current read💜" There is another sticker of the cover for Tastes Like Shakkat by Nisha Sharma with the label "it also made me think of Bunty who I also adore 💚". A meme featuring two stills from the Disney movie Mulan. First still is of Mulan talking to Shang saying "would you like to stay for dinner?" Mulan is labeled as "Apollo" and Shang has the cover for A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke over his face. The second still is of Mulan's mother and grandmother saying "would you like to stay forever?!". Mulan's grandmother is labeled "also Apollo".

My weekend will consist of 1. Loving the heck out of the ALC of A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke and 2. Screaming, crying, throwing up over The Obelisk Gate.

What about you?

I just finished reading the first 2 novellas in the Chaotic Orbits series by Beth Revis & had so much fun!

If you like space heists, witty humor, a side of romance, & dunking on Elon-shaped villains, I recommend! (The audiobooks are A+)

The final book comes out in April so now I'm just- 🧍🏻‍♀️ #booksky
