Pros: seemingly accurate child star trauma, addiction portrayed respectfully, and very sweet romance moments.
Cons: (SPOILER) they should've have ended up together at the end YET, SORRY 🫣, they are literally their own problems

adding a "Ali Hazelwood Cinematic Universe 🧬" series to my Notion database because they have to be grouped somehow
A productive indie bookstore/thrift day! #booksky #thifthaul #alltheluck
Yall remember that one fic about Ebony Raven Way or whatever her name was who looked like Amy Lee? That’s how Sour Rot felt while reading it. V much do not recommend. #booksky #gothichorror #sourrot
So far Sour Rot is giving sad Victorian child and Evanescence with a touch of depression and no I don’t know how I feel about it yet 🤨 #sourrot #arc #booksky #gothichorrorromance
When I first got KU years ago, I saw Lily Gold’s books and thought what the hell? Now, why choose is by far my favorite romance genre. This time around I thought hey, she’s calling for arc readers, I’ll just try and if it doesn’t work out I’ll still buy it. This is your reminder to try try try!
I got to read #highlandhideaway early and it’s so freaking good! The smut is smutting and the romance hits just the right spot! I would def recommend yall go check it out! #lilygoldauthor #arc #whychoose #romanceread #booksky
A photo of a nightstand drawer in a hotel with three books inside. The Book of Mormon is on the left. A paperback copy of I Accidentally Summoned A Demon Boyfriend by Jessica Cage is in the middle. And The Holy Bible is on the right.
Wow how inclusive. This hotel has something for everyone!
Love from the Cosmos was a perfect Valentine's read! Moyo and Niyi are destined to be together but fight it because astrologically they aren't a perfect match. Yall as stubborn and annoying as these two were at times the story was really cute! #lovefromthecosmos #netgalleyarc #booksky #bhm
“There were no thorns upon his head for Jude to hurt himself on, Dante thought, but he imagined horns sprouted from his head all the same.” #booksky #mjaneworma #mlm #horrorbooks
November was not a good month for hockey 🧐 #readingwrapup #booksky #novemberwrapup
Hazelthorn please, unhand me 😭
Surprise standout was Showstopper! YA theatre camp murder mystery hit more than I expected it to!

Night was about 80% better than Day, the stories were scarier and felt more real, whereas Day just felt dystopian? There were good stories but they weren’t horror, ya know? #nightandday #horroranthology #netgalleyarc
Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

Currently wishing I was loving The Glass Slide World more 😭
Interview With a Vampire meets The Thing, a dash of What We Do in the Shadows all set with Pride like vibes on a cruise ship. A short and unreliably narrated Halloween read #vampiresatsea #booksky #netgalleyarc
Oxford Soju Club is a Korean Diaspora take wrapped in a spy thriller that forces the characters to figure out who they are away from home. This book taught me that spy thrillers aren’t my vibe, but that I love seeing people grow and change #OxfordSojuClub #NetGalley
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
got about 7 arcs to get through for October, flying too close to the sun and all that business
I got my early copy of Cry, Voidbringer today and yall. It’s so pretty. And signed. If you need want to make a difference with your dollars and you just cancelled Disney/Hulu, boy do I have the place for you #leftunreadbooks #booksky #cryvoidbringer #elaineho #binderybooks
2. The twist was wrapped and woven so well into the story. YA isn't my favorite group, but every now and then a YA book sneaks up on me and is better than I would expect and Showstopper definitely delivers.
1. I got this as an arc from NetGalley since I wanted to see if it would be a good fit for my students. It's a bit too much for a middle schooler, it is a murder mystery after all, but honestly I really liked this book for myself!
Showstopper by Lily Anderson was the unexpected win I needed to get out of my reading slump, and just in time for spooky season and Hispanic Heritage Month! #netgalleyarc #showstopper #lilyanderson #booksky
I read the arc for this and really liked it! I hope you like it too!
I changed my Notion library template so there's a new link! It's free as always, I'm in it for the love of the game (books)!
So far Showstopper is a theatre kids murder mystery dream. Why does the genuine theatre kid cringe™️ make this book better??? #netgalley #arc #showstopper
The world is going to shit and I’m in a reading slump BUT we have elote and carnitas flavored Pringles so I guess there’s some hope
Age gaps are so hit or miss, but to make the person literally underage???? 🤢
