Not every book is for everyone… and The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw is one of them. ☠️
blood-soaked dark academia, students with god-tier powers, and a school that’s basically a slaughterhouse. chaotic, brutal, and weirdly addictive.

okay but why is no one talking about EMPTY HEAVEN by Freddie Kölsch??
EMPTY HEAVEN = queer teens vs. a cult + 90s nostalgia + a giant scarecrow god. It’s funny, dark, & full of heart—like Stranger Things but gayer. The audiobook slaps. #QueerYA #BlueskyBooks #queerhorror

I’m not getting any writing done on this plane because I’m distracted by someone else’s movie between the plane seats… not a me problem for sure. #writingproblems #booksky #writer #anyexcuse

Just started Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers on audio. If you’re looking for a sapphic romance with BIPOC rep, then I’d highly recommend. Grace is an astronomer and I LOVE the space references. Great friends, relatable angst over post college life and Black exceptionalism. #booksky #pride #queer #bipoc

Working on my queer poly ffm romance and on the fly created an older adult couple who send each other love letters through my MCs. I love them and I want to write a spin off but I MUST FOCUS! 😫

Italy is so pretty, I can't be upset. We hiked in the Majella park then went to Pescocostanzo.

(⊙ˍ⊙) Hi, my name is Rae. I released my first book today. I’m not good at celebrating my wins.
I’m always focused on the next thing I need to do. But today I decided I would try to do better and do the thing I’m always telling other people to do.
So I celebrated! 🌈

I know this is a small win, but I got my first goodreads review. It’s 4 stars and I’m so happy! I was nervous to read it but they were so kind and I’m exploding with happiness. It’s the small things these days. 🥰
