I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT OF MY BOOK!!!!!

Rejoice with me, #booksky

(Ignore the smudges on my computer screen. I’m a dirty bitch who forgets to clean her electronics, okay?)

#Booksky I. Am. OBSESSED. I’m not usually a dark romance girly, but Josh can get. It. He’s hilarious, secretly a teddy bear, and a little scary.

The duet narration was perfection. Jacob Morgan could read me the damn phone book any day and I’d be putty in his arms.

Go read #LightsOut. Now.

I probably won’t finish another book today, so this is my #MarchReadingWrapUp! I rate on vibes only, so don’t @ me. #OnyxStorm is my favorite read of the month bc of the absolute fucking chokehold it’s had on me since I finished it. What was your fav read of March?

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m never skipping a Jane Austen retelling.

BlueSky’s character count won’t allow me to do justice to this gorgeous #FairyLoot exclusive edition of #TheHoneyWitch by Sydney J. Shields. Instead, I’ll leave you with these mediocre iPhone photos.

#booksky
Collage of photographs showcasing the FairyLoot special edition of The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields. The largest photo shows the main front cover, depicting a small cottage in the background, surrounded by various foliage, the title in gold centered at the bottom. The photo in the top right shows the all white naked hardcover that is adorned with foil depicting a honeypot surrounded by flowers. The photo directly underneath showcases artwork on the endpages of two women, witches, facing one another, one in light clothing and the other in dark. The last photo in this column shows the yellow sprayed edges, adorned with stencils of bees and a honeycomb pattern. The photo to the left shows the reversible dust jacket, showing the two witches from the endpages embracing one another. And the final photo in the left corner shows more endpage art, featuring the same two witches along with a dark skinned character in a green apron, handing the witch in brown a green potion bottle.

The “touch her and die trope,” but for modern day romance set in a world where you can’t actually murder people. 🤣

Quote from the upcoming debut novel by SV Lynn, Holiday Handyman. “Let me make something abundantly fucking clear, Sadie. I don’t ever want to see you again. I don’t want to hear your voice, I don’t even want to know you still fucking exist. And if you ever speak about Mia that way again, I will fucking bury you so far into obscurity you’ll be lucky to have the relevancy of a discarded condom. You got me?”

The post is misleading because it’s not accurate. It’s formatted as if it’s the post, but it’s a paraphrase, not verbatim. His actual post is phrased slightly differently. My point is accuracy is important or we’re just as bad as the other guys.

Awww I want this to be true. She either deleted it or Twitter did. Her timeline goes from 2024 to 2020.

Is it just me, or are you unable to read a book if the love interest has the same name as your toxic ex? Ugh. I was really looking forward to this one!

I finished the CUTEST little romcom last night, Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter.

The only downside is if I thought my expectations for men were high before, they are absolutely unattainable now. 🤣🤣🤣

#booksky #spicybooks #bookrecommendations #romancebooks
Screen grab of the Tome app book review panel featuring the cover for Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter next to five hot pink stars, atop a black background. The book cover features a cartoon of a white woman with brown hair wearing a red dress and brown shoes, her knee held up in the embrace of a white man, with short brown hair, wearing a black suit. Their faces are obscured by a white coffee cup a la Starbucks, but it’s clear they are kissing. The background of the book cover is lavender

Page from the book A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston. Highlighted text reads “I did it need love. I didn’t need to fall into it. I didn’t need to find it at all. Not again. Never again. Because love stories were enough. They were safe. They would never fail me.

Just gonna leave this right here. If it inspires someone, then it inspires someone.
Image of a page from the book Onyx Storm displaying the quote “Sometimes diplomacy is best served at sword point. - Journal of Captain Lilith Sorrengail” also displays a gray silhouette of a dragon in flight above the words “chapter twenty-seven.”

It’s been 93 days since #TheErasTour ended and I still cannot hear Down Bad without the Fortnight transition. I’ll never recover from this tour.

I just learned Sarah Michelle Gellar honored #MichelleTrachtenberg with a modification of what Buffy says to Dawn right before sacrificing herself to save Dawn’s life. I am unwell and will need 10-20 business days to recover.

The background is orange ombré and features gold foliage framing the portrait in an arch. Book cover for Spiral by Bal Khabra. A man in a hockey jersey and slacks stands next to a ballerina, holding her hand as if preparing for a twirl. His hockey gear lays discarded behind them.

Behind are dragon emblems and a smoky design. Book cover for Leslie F*cking Jones by Leslie Jones. Child Leslie stands in the center with a large grin across her face while holding a microphone.

I’m not going to, but every time a book has chapters like this, I want to bust out the markers and start coloring.

I watch #BuffytheVampireSlayer at least once a year. I was today years old when I learned Michael Cudlitz was in this.

Mother dick.
