Book 66 of 2025 💙📚🌶️

Destructively Mine by Krista and Becca Ritchie

5⭐

📱

I am thoroughly obsessed with this book & characters. They are the perfect morally grey characters that have me totally rooting for them while still questioning their choices. This one is even more twisted than the first.

The cover of Desctructively Mine by Krista and Becca Ritchie features a white and pink flower with gold leaves on top of a gold spider web. There is a gold spider dipping onto the title. This is all on a dark green watercolorish background.

I tend to enjoy a pastel cover more, but there are incredible designs for either

Book 65 of 2025 💙📚🌶️

Beneath the Stands by Emily McIntire

3⭐

🎧

I started absolutely loving this book, then, everything took a turn, and I started liking it less and less. Both of them are awful people by the end, yet we are supposed to see them as redeemed, which I simply cannot do.

The cover of Beneath the Stands by Emily McIntire features the MCs in the middle of a small town street. The MMC is helping the FMc to throw a basketball.

Reading provides a much needed escape from the negative aspects of reality, as well as provides connection with other readers when I’m very isolated due to my health issues.

Both are crucial to my mental wellbeing 🥲

Happy World Mental Health Day!

Reading helps me relax and destress after a long day. Especially if I am immersion reading

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Books are bridges to understanding and freedom. Each banned story holds a universe of thoughts and emotions. Let's stand together, celebrating the magic of words that should never be silenced. #booksky #bannedbooks 📚✨

The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri hands down.
So good. Disaster gays. When the said Priya was short I went AH-HA that explains literally everything (as a short cryptid myself😅🤣)

Book 64 of 2025 💙📚🌶️

You're Invited by Amanda Jayatissa

4.5⭐

🎧

I loved the initial calm yet eerie vibe. The complicated relationships & spread of gossip propelled the narrative wonderfully. I totally thought I knew where the book was going, but the twists at the end truly threw me for a loop.

The cover of You're Invited by Amanda Jayatissa features a V-shaped cover. In the V is a coastal scene during a storm. A white resort is in the background. The top of the V looks like an envelope that says "she'll wish she never RSVP'd"

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malina Lo is great for queer rep in general
