Hi if you have not read this book you need to it's so freaking good! The themes and messages. The sibling bonds. The romance (which includes the POV of a demisexual character and a separate sapphic character pov), the world building, ect! It's all so good and I can't wait to dive into the sequel!
Cover of SO LET THEM BURN by Kamilah Cole, showing the profile of a young woman with a dragon entwined in front of her and around her, head over hers, and a burning city below. Cover Text: "A dragon took her sister—she'll set the world on fire to bring her back."

Currently reading So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole and I'm loving this even more than I thought I would. I love the characters and the world building and am so excited to see where this goes and dive into the sequel.

I can't decide if I want to start #transrightsreadathon with Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis
Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki or
Make Room For Love by Darcy Liao
Cover for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background. The cover of Ryka Aoki's Light from Uncommon Stars, which shows a koi fish swimming through the starry night sky A screenshot of the cover of Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao. The cover art shows Isabel, a tall, butch Chinese American woman, sitting on a couch with Mira, a slightly smaller, femme trans woman of Indian and Jewish heritage. Isabel's open toolbox is at her feet, and books and papers are on the coffee table near Mira.

I've always gravitated towards YA and have been trying to read all the queer books I can get my hands on so this is unsurprising.

I love few things more than supporting local small businesses! After the library sale I went to a nearby indie bookstore and got a latte at the coffee shop right next door.

You ever just read the first chapter of a book and are immediately hooked? I'm trying to be good and finish my current reads but I'm so ready to dive into this.

Still thinking about this delightful queer remix of Pride and Prejudice that I read for @orlandoreads.bsky.social Bindery book club. It was everything I was hoping for and more. Highly recommend especially if you need some queer joy in your life.
The cover of Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa. Features two young men in old-fashioned clothing facing away from each other in a Jane Austen-esque art style. A peacock decorates the bottom of the cover.

I received an e-ARC of Say a Little Prayer by Jenna Voris and honestly so healing for my queer little heart that grew up in church and went to many church camps in my youth! The sapphic yearning was perfect. It was funny, heartwarming and heart wrenching all at once.
Cover of Say a Little Prayer by Jenna Voris. A girl with brunette hair, a white tank top and denim jeans standing with her hands clasped together in prayer standing in front of a girl with auburn hair, a pink headband, wearing an orange shirt and a green and orange plaid skirt with her hands clasped behind her. In the background rolling green hills with a church chapel and blue sky on the very back. On the foreground white, blue and pink clouds.

The physical book I'm reading right now is Lore of the Wild which I'm about 50 pages into and really enjoying so far! I feel like it's been awhile since I've read a good romantasy book. #booksky💙📚
The cover of Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana featuring a brown, green, and gold color scheme with three people standing against a forested background. A black woman standing in front holding an open book with grey wisps coming from it. Standing behind her on the left is a black man with hair pulled back in a bun and antlers on his head with his hand raised. To the right another black man facing away from the other two but looking back. Longer hair in braids that seem to be tied back.

Just started the audio for Cinderella is Dead on a whim and I'm so intrigued already. This might be exactly what I need right now!

I'm not complaining. Just very confused that I received the preorder gift of a book that's not coming out til April? It always comes afterwards but also pretty DND stickers!
A picture of a hand holding three stickers. At the top two women in a close embrace. One blonde with a braided ponytail and the other with short black hair. Surrounded by flowers. The middle sticker is a barn with a mountain range and rainbow painted across the front doors with trees in the background. The bottom sticker is a rainbow D20 with a banner on the top and bottom with words that read 'Roll For Love'

Did I just get my first hate comment on Bluesky? I'm so confused but so entertained. I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS PERSON!?
A Bluesky screen shot featuring a post from me reading "I told myself that I was going to film YouTube videos today but now I'm tired and don't want to do anything but read" with a reply that reads "Tired from virtue signaling the shit out of people until they quit Bluesky, maybe" A screen shot from Bluesky reading "I just thought you should know you spoiled a good person's experience is all" with a reply from the same person that reads "For no reason and just for the sake of being nasty."

Okay so I got a free trial of canva and I think I fuck with this thumbnail I just made. Like I'm not the best graphic designer but it looks loads better than the other stuff I was making.
A photo of a laptop screen with canva pulled up. A YouTube thumbnail design in canva with a light blue background, torn pages on the top right and bottom left corners and a cut out photo of me holding my hands together on the bottom left over top everything. With the words '2025 Reading Goals' over it.
