I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either.

Happy pub day AND birthday to @azaleacrowley.bsky.social! Wicked Flavors is super fun with an autistic Filipina FMC, Demon Daddy MMC with chronic pain, Ace rep, & more. It’s funny it’s gory it’s steamy. It’s my favorite Azalea Crowley book so far and must read for fans of horromance. #Booksky
The cover for Wicked Flavors is centered with text reading “Happy Pub Day!” curved around the top and bottom. There are comic style stars around the border. The background is a blue floral pattern. Text reading “@trashyypandareads” is at the very bottom.

I just got sent an eARC of Jacob Tonia’s upcoming book Before They Were Men: Essays on Manhood, Compassion, and What Went Wrong. I’m extremely excited to read this because Sissy is actually the book that made me realize I’m non-binary. #Bookysky

Currently reading: Wicked Flavors by Azalea Crowley. Already obsessed and I’m only a chapter in although I knew I would love it by this question “what happens when he makes her worse?” #booksky

New ARC just hit my inbox and I’m SO excited!!! If you like horromance then make sure you put Wicked Flavors by @azaleacrowley.bsky.social on your radar! Out May 8th! #Booksky
Blue and pink graphic with the cover of Wicked Flavors in the center. There are short phrases in a sketchy font all around that read clockwise from top center: Interconnected Standalone, undiagnosed autistic FMC, deal with the devil, chronic pain rep, a little tongue as a treat, horror romance, unlikeable couple, multi-racial FMC & MMC, so many horror references, enemies to lovers, body horror, weaponizing praise.

Apparently the last time I read my copy of Catching Fire I stopped reading at part 3. There’s a magnetic bookmark holding my place from who knows how long ago #Booksky
My hand is holding a hardback copy of Catching Fire open to page 265 that reads “Part III The Enemy” There is a small blue bookmark that resembles a sticky tab clipped on the right side of the page.

Went and saw Companion today and it was fun as fuck. At least I thought it was. The only other person in the theater with me barely laughed so idk what was wrong with him. #filmsky

Happy cover reveal day to @azaleacrowley.bsky.social!! Wicked Flavors sounds wickedly delicious and I can’t wait to read it! #Booksky
The cover for WIcked Flavors is framed in dark blue in the center of the graphic. “Cover Reveal” in cursive font curves along the top. 2/3 of the background is a photo of several dolls on shelves. The bottom 1/3 of the background is a solid dark brown. Text on the bottom reads “Wicked Flavors by Azalea Crowley / Releases May 2025”

Finally got to see the new Count of Monte Cristo!!! Absolutely loved it! I also love the 2002 version but i think this version improved upon what I felt the 2002 version was lacking #Filmsky
