It did not like this photo and wouldn't upload it with the original post

I forgot about this platform for a while, but I posted something fun on my bookstagram today that I'll share here too.

Cover Reveal & recreation for Finlay Donovan 6: Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line!

But do my neighbors think I'm a lunatic or are they used to my shenanigans?

How'd I do?

Kerry is climbing through a window with one leg in and one leg out. She is wearing all black with a beanie and sunglasses and has long brown hair. One hand is holding a lit flashlight and the other is propping up the window pane. The background outside the window is lots of green grass and trees. The cover of the book Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line. The background is a light purple/lavender color, with an illustration of a light skinned woman with long brown hair biting her lower lip and wearing all black climbing through a window with a lit flashlight in one hand and the other propping up the window pane. Outside the window is dark with a tree in the background and stars in the sky. The author's name, Elle Cosimano is at the top in a bright turquoise, followed by part of the title, Finlay Donovan, in dark blue/purple below, and the rest of the title, Crosses the Line, in white text.

👻 Apparitions by Adam Pottle

"My first language wasn't Sign. It was violence."
"When they spoke to me -- when anyone speaks to me -- they speak in ghosts. That's what words are. We don't see them, but we feel them."

📚💙

Monday Mini Reviews posted on my IG yesterday and forgot to post them here, too... oops. Tuesday Minis instead.

An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena - meh this was okay. An entertaining and quick read, but felt like it was trying very hard to be And Then There Were None, which it failed at. 🌟🌟🌟

📚💙
A graphic with an off-white background and illustrated sunflowers at the bottom. Blue text in the middle says Monday Minis and black text shows my handle, @KerryGetsLiterary. A photo of a stack of five books outside sitting on a white railing post. A gray stone patio is below in the background. Further in the background is green grass turning brown, bare trees, and a blue sky. The books are An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, and The Women by Kristin Hannah. A graphic with an off-white background and the cover of We Rip the World Apart by Charlene Carr with four star emojis underneath. To the right is black text with the mini review, which reads: We Rip the World Apart by Charlene Carr - 😭 (crying emoji) this was heartbreaking. A devastating look at racism, police brutality, systemic oppression, and how they all affect marginalized communities, particularly Black communities and families. My heart ached for these characters and it was a stark reminder of how much work there still is to do.

I finished Onyx Storm and I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with my life now or how to function anymore. I think I need to just stare at the wall for a couple weeks.

💙📚

I started a new series over on my bookstagram called Monday Minis. Every couple of weeks, I will post mini reviews of recently finished books. These are from the first post yesterday.

First book of 2025 finished yesterday. It was an absolute delight! Thrilled to start the year with a 5-star read after a not-so-stellar 2024.
