I will never stop recommending #TheSingingHillsCycle.

#AMouthfulofDust is a tale of obfuscation and misdirection in an effort to hide great shame and pain in the face of desperation. 4⭐️

#GirlDinner is engaging and enraging from the very first page.

The type of people who will love this book are my kind of people.

It’s a great book with a killer ending. Perfect for autumn. 4⭐️

It’s time for us bookworms to embrace what comes after Spooky Season.

So here are 30 books I’ve read and would recommend that I think could bring the autumnal vibes.

#TheGraceviewPatient is an exorable and painful march, unrelenting in its torment as it moves along and breaks you down, isolating you and causing you to question how safe you really are. 4⭐️

It doesn’t matter if you came out of the closet years ago, today, or if you’re just not ready yet. You are still valid. Your queerness is still valid. You are still a LGBTQIA+ person. You are still a member of this community and you are loved.

I don’t believe in censorship.

I hate fascists.

I love books and reading.

Craigmar feels like it is out of space and time, wrapped up in folk stories, wild grasses, cold lochs, windswept hills, bottles of wine, titillating games, and books by firelight. 4⭐️

The blurb says “The Godfather” + “The Magicians”. SOLD.

Does it sound like I loved this book? I hope so, because I really, really did. 5⭐️

My #Goldsboro edition of #EmilyCooper’s #SeasonofFear came in!!! It’s so stunning and this cover really fit the vibe and feel of the book so much better than the US cover. I’m so glad I waited for it. Patience isn’t usually my strong suit.
