💙📚 #BookSky Just finished Facing Madame X by Jamie Rose. She names the specifically female version of our inner saboteur (spoiler: it uses every patriarchal message we've internalized). The tools for neutralizing it are practical and powerful. 4/5 stars for women ready to stop shrinking.

💙📚 #BookSky Finished Losing the Weight Loss Meds. ⭐⭐⭐
Strong structure, but the premise does not match the science. Many people need GLP-1s long term due to chronic conditions. What do you think about how these medications are being used today?

#BookSky 💙📚 I cannot stop thinking about the idea of a book that reveals your future if you confess a secret from your past. Books that explore destiny, memory, and emotional truth always stick. If you love character driven mysteries with a touch of magic, this one is worth adding to your list.

💀 Just finished 99 Ways to Die (And How to Avoid Them) by Dr. Ashley Alker — darkly funny, weirdly educational, and a little too real.
Written by an ER doc who’s seen it all. Would you read a book about bizarre deaths (and how to avoid them)? Or too dark for your TBR? ☕📚 #BookSky

This psychological thriller completely wrecked me. Every time I thought I figured it out, another twist left me speechless. The family dynamics are raw and authentic. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell/Gillian Flynn. Fair warning: you'll lose sleep.
