Reading wrap-up! Book 10 down. This month's book club pick matched prompt 24, but it's a total flop, my 1st dud of the year. An adult Rom-Com that felt very YA! So, what am I gonna chat about tonight?

Prompt #24: Title Is A Spoiler
Dating & Dismemberment by A.L. Brody

Reading Recap! My 9th book of the year is done. I rolled a 20, and in honor of Black History Month, "Cinderella Is Dead" felt like the perfect choice. A near-perfect feminist, POC, and LGBTQIA read.

Reading Recap! My 8th book of the year is done. I rolled a 14, and in honor of Black History Month, there was only one logical choice. What in the 2025? Why didn't this feel like fiction?

When will the number generator roll a #28? Knowing it will be another swoon-worthy retelling with a more than likely 4+ star rating has me excited. Should I choose the "Tangled" retelling "Tangled Up in You" or the Mulan retelling, "Worth Fighting For," releasing this June?

Reading Recap! The 7th book of the year is done. My go-to guilty-pleasure genre of retellings was perfect for prompt 29. Continuing Disney's "Meant to Be" series was the only choice.

Tender is the Flesh, a five-star read that's the perfect trifecta of sci-fi, horror, and dystopian literature! 🔥 Also the best mic-drop finale in a horror novel of recent years. 🤯 #SciFi #Horror #Dystopian #BookSky #Literature #Reading #Novel #Finale

The 52 Book Club is a killer idea; it'll totally expand your reading horizons. Going in a randomized order also keeps it fun.

A perfect film that still holds up today, especially because of the pandemic voyeuristic tendencies popped up amongst people stuck at home. #Movie #Anniversary #ClassicFilm #Cinema #FilmSky

Gonna crush that 52 Book Club challenge in 2025! No time for reading slumps, gotta stay focused. Plus, I'm tackling two challenge completions. I'm only five books away from finishing Book Riot's 2024 Read Harder Challenge, but it's also the 23rd of December.
