I may not have won the lottery, but getting an ARC of The Isle in the Silver Sea by @tashasuri.bsky.social from @orbitbooks.bsky.social is close enough!

I’m so excited to be reading The Lavender Blade by E.L. Deards. Queer con men faking exorcisms until it all becomes terrifyingly real? Sign me up. This is gothic, intense, and full of devotion, magic, and danger.

💙📚🪐📚⏰📚

Afterlife bureaucracy. Ghost-reaper tension. And a romance that’s finally catching fire.

Just finished Hate to Haunt You and this series continues to be an absolute chaotic queer delight. Check out my Insta for more of my review!

Genre‑bending sci‑fi alert: AI ships, monsters in space, & paranormal whodunits unite in Of Monsters and Mainframes. This wild ride made me laugh, cry, rethink humanity.

A bold, futuristic book promotion image set in space. At the top, large pink-and-white text reads: "Ever met a spaceship more human than a werewolf or a vampire?" Centered is a glowing neon-framed image of the book cover for Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove. The cover features a stylized open mouth with vampire fangs and a vibrant explosion of abstract colors and geometric shapes around the title. In the background, a spaceship or satellite orbits Earth against a starry sky. Below the book, pink and white text says: “Of Monsters and Mainframes will blow your mind, here’s why you need this chaotic, tender, and hilarious ride in your life right now.”

I'm currently in Miami, which is where Camila spends her summers, so it only felt appropriate to make this my beach read today. Loving the vibes of this story and of South Beach!! #diversebooksky 📚🌏📚💙📚
A paperback copy of Camila Nuñez’s Year of Disasters by Miriam Zoila Pérez rests on a blue beach chair with sand in the background. The book cover features an illustrated young woman with long dark hair, wearing a blue top, with a serious expression. Behind her, three tarot cards are displayed, including The Hanged Man. The cover has a pink background with intricate patterns, and a circular sticker on the front indicates it is an "Advanced Reading Copy."

Such an interesting read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Set in post-colonial Trinidad, this historical paranormal horror was a delight to read. Took a bit to settle in to the dialogue and writing style, but it was well worth it! #booksky #diversebooks #blackbooks 📚💙📚🌏📚🪐
A promotional image for the book He Burns by the River by Khalia Moreau. The background is filled with bright orange flames. The book cover, shown in 3D, features a dark-haired person with fiery curls, glowing eyes, and flames surrounding them. Text around the book highlights key themes, including "Good vs. Evil," "Sibling Rivalry," "Explores Themes of Colorism and Racism," "Cain & Abel Retelling," "Romance Subplot/Love Triangle," and "In Post-Colonial Trinidad." The book title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, red and white lettering.

I was excited to dive back into The Glitched Series with Shattered, but this sequel didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While I loved the ideas and themes, the execution felt a bit disjointed. The pacing was inconsistent, and the plot twists didn’t always feel natural.

#booksky #booktok 📚💙📚🪐📚⏰
A digital book review graphic for Shattered, the second book in The Glitched Series. The background resembles a spiral notebook with pink and white lined paper. At the top, a pink banner with a shadow effect displays the book title in bold, black font. To the right, there is a small image of the book cover, which features a metallic heart with cracks, pierced by a dagger, against a black and pink flame background. The review text, written in a playful, handwritten-style font, describes the book as action-packed, featuring Spartan warriors and espionage, but critiques its uneven pacing and abrupt plot twists. Below the review, there are three thematic icons: a Spartan helmet, sugarcane and sugar, and a flame. The rating section displays three out of five pink stars, and the "Spice" section, indicated by chili pepper icons, rates it as moderately spicy with three out of five peppers. On the left side, a pink vertical banner reads Book Review in white text.

Latest book review for Why on Earth, a fun and mostly lighthearted anthology of stories surrounding a bunch of teenaged aliens crash landing on Earth and all the shenanigans that ensue. I really enjoyed this one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Current ARC read is Shattered by Eisley Rose, an indie author. This is the second of the Glitched series, and is such a good blending of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and action!

Next read on my February TBR!

Illustrated book cover for The Trial Period by Auburn Morrow. The artwork features two young women sitting closely, gazing at each other with soft smiles. One has long, dark brown hair in a braid, wears a maroon hoodie, and rests her chin on her hand. The other has voluminous, curly red hair, freckles, and wears a pink sweater with a star pattern. Their hands are gently touching on the table between them. The background is a soft blue with scattered calendar pages and comic-style illustrations of the two characters in different scenarios. The title is in bold, dark purple uppercase letters across the top.

Current ARC read! It's just a really cute queer anthology of teen and alien shenanigans and some surprisingly deep convos around gender!

Big thanks to Page Street YA for the ARC!! #booksky 📚💙📚🌏📚🪐📚
Book cover of Why On Earth: An Alien Invasion Anthology, edited by Tosiee Thor and Vania Stoyanova. The cover art depicts a futuristic, neon-colored beach scene at sunset with a massive UFO hovering above the ocean. A ferris wheel and pier with flags are visible in the background. Five silhouetted figures stand in the foreground, gazing at the spaceship, with one holding a phone. The colors are vibrant, blending purples, pinks, and oranges. The cover also includes the label "Advanced Reading Copy." The book is placed on a soft, plaid-patterned blanket.

Currently reading This Ends in Embers by Kamilah Cole! Thanks to @littlebrownyr.bsky.social for the ARC so I didn't have to wait to find out what would happen to Faron and Elara! Also, if you wanna send me the new cover of of So Let Them Burn I wouldn't be mad 😂

Book cover of This Ends in Embers by Kamilah Cole. The artwork features a young Black woman with long braids, her face partially blended with a massive, serpent-like dragon that has green eyes and white, scale-covered skin. The dragon breathes fire while coiling around the cover, its body covered in patches of green and gold. Below them, a village burns, with smoke rising into the sky. The title is displayed in large, bold letters, with the tagline: "Dragons started this war. Two sisters will end it."

In honor of #booktok what is a book you found because of Booktok that ended up being a 5⭐️ read?

The book for me was The Name-Bearer by Natalia Hernandez.

It was the one and only @michaellaborn.bsky.social who put me onto this book, and it was only the first of many times he made me spend money!

Just finished this ARC of 'Fortune's Kiss' by Amber Clement and I have to say for a debut I'm impressed! Magical sentient houses, lotería inspired gambling with lives at stake, and a heart wrenching story of two best friends and their struggles to make their wishes come true. 4⭐️
A book titled 'Fortune's Kiss' with a vivid cover featuring a flaming heart and Lotería inspired artwork, standing upright on a sandy beach with the ocean and sky in the background.
