Post your favourite XMen character.

2 because I can’t choose and they are a bit of a set. It will always be Jean Grey/Phoenix/Rachel Summers. Not so much the newer lore. I was there for the original Phoenix and Dark Phoenix Saga.
A red headed woman stands in front of flames, one arm extended forward while her eyes glow. She is dressed in the red and gold costume of the Dark Phoenix. A young woman soars through space with a fiery bird superimposed behind her. She wears the red studded costume of a Hunter.

Alright all. I did a repost boost earlier but let's go the extra mile. Are you looking for a folk horror to read under the blankets this rainy night? Check this one out. Atmospheric. Creepy. Maybe a little bloody. And a damn good read

Do not be fooled! This is the face of a sneaky pizza thief. The perpetrator grabbed the leftover crusts from BIL plate, and ran like hell from one end of house to the other, up the stairs and under a bed where he proceeded to devour his prize. Get a cat they said…

Good morning all! According to l’il sis, this should be my next coffee mug. Friends, she ain’t wrong 🤣🤣

Okay all. If you like SFF with dual POV ✅️
If you want characters that have depth and are a product of their respective worlds ✅️
If you like a bit of romance in your reading (m/f and m/m) ✅️
Mostly, if you just want to read a damn good story!!!! READ IT!!
thanks @bookspotlight.bsky.social

Recent read! A cozy, supernatural romance with dragons, fae, vampires and demons. And a wolfhound who likes to eat socks but just one out of each pair. Fun read. Book one in the series. Give it a try!!
