Just listening to The Earl Meets His Match by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social and got choked up at the scene of Christopher at his tailor. Is there anything lovelier than trans joy? Trans safety? Trans peace? No, no there is not.

Just stayed up to finish Vesuvius and I would like a word with @cassbeewrites.bsky.social - as would my gf who is currently gently patting me and going “oh Lauryn oh no” as I cry. Preorder this book. It’s incredible. Review coming this week on my blog.

I’m 25% of the way through this and ohhhhh boy. Also very gender affirming to read a book with a MMC with my name (even if it’s with a different spelling)
Never ever getting over how it feels to hold the book of my heart.
This weekend, VESUVIUS hit:
✨Top 50 Barnes & Noble most anticipated YA books
✨Top 10 B&N bestselling YA LGBTQ romance
✨A sales rank of 6,000—which is WILD for a debut author with no established readership

I can confirm that there is a healthy dose of [redacted] that made it from the notes into the final product
to be fair that is how my outline notes often look
“and then OMG THEY COULD [redacted] BECAUSE FUCK YESaaaaaahhhhhhh that would be so good”

You guys do NOT want to miss this. I have a blog post going up about it later today.
How good was it? Ask my 98 kindle annotations, many of which just say “AHHHH”
