Is this… hope I’m feeling?

Thanks to the #Superman team for reminding my cynical little heart what it feels like to believe in something again.

Having to wait week by week to watch every new episode of Murderbot it’s a crime 😭. This show it’s too good!

Just finished reading Mockingjay for the first time, making it my first time reading and finishing the OG Hunger Games trilogy, and I’m unwell 😭😭😭. Also Suzanne, I will never forgive you for what you did to you know who 🥲.

Started my first ever read of The Hunger Games and I’m already hooked 😱. #booksky

I know a videogame is really good when I don’t wanna do anything else, but play it 🤭. I don’t even want to read… I know 😂😂😂.

Currently reading the ARC for Jonny Garza Villa’s spicy MM debut “Futbolista” and it’s so freaking good 🥰🙌🏻.

This is my first impression after finishing “God of Fury” by Rina Kent. I don’t know how I didn’t DNF it, but I should have 🤣🤣🤣.

Y’all gotta know that after my first ever watch of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” I had to get into “The Legend of Korra” immediately 🤭.

2 episodes in and I already love her! ❤️

📚 Currently reading “Storm and Sea” by Teresa Kane 🌈 I’m totally intrigued by the Mer lore on this book, plus it reads like a really sweet and cozy fantasy 💕.

It also gives me big Disney’s Luca vibes, but New Adult 🧜🏻‍♂️.

Don’t judge me, but I’m watching Avatar The Last Airbender for the first time, and I’m impressed. Like, it’s a kids show, but it has really mature themes. I’m on episode 6.

Highlight: Sokka, being the little misogynist he is, training with girl warriors in DRAG sent me 🤣🤣🤣.

Saw The Monkey today, and the way I was covering my mouth throughout the movie… 🫢 I was gagging, gasping, and laughing—such a fun time! 🤣🤣🤣 If you’re into dark humor, you’ll have a blast with it 💯.

Ok, but today’s new episode of Invincible ATE! I wasn’t ready to experience so many emotions 🫢😱🤯😭

Reading this spicy MM contemporary romance and DAMN these men are so thirsty and filthy, I love it 🤭💕😂🔥

To the man that gave me this compliment on TikTok, you will never know this, but thank you, you made my day 🤭🤣.

This has got to be one of the best book titles I’ve ever seen. I would just need to become a werewolf and it be my autobiography’s title 🤣🤣🤣.

Currently reading: Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella 🥱🏳️‍🌈🐺

Read the graphic novel adaptation of Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, and not only are the artwork and story amazing, but the parallels to what we’ve been seeing in the U.S. are jaw-dropping. I feel like I lost some details from the novel with the adaptation, but I still highly recommend it!

Currently reading “The Broposal” by Sonora Reyes, and this book is so FREAKING CUTE! Like, I can’t! 😍💕

Starting this beauty today ❤️🌈 “Pritty” by Keith F. Miller, Jr.

This has got to be on my Top 10 list of stupidest things I have ever witnessed in my life 🙄. Imagine being a grown ass old man and still be so childish.
February 12, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Halfway through this book, and damn, it’s gotten dark (death and betrayal), and I’m living for it! I love it when the stakes are really high! 🍏🙌🏻
February 10, 2025 at 7:14 PM
OMG! The first 3 episodes of Invincible Season 3 packed a lot. I’m so conflicted with what’s happening between Mark and Cecil. So much happened and I’m living for it! 🙌🏻❤️

🌈📚 January was a rough month, I mean the world was on fire 🔥🗑️. Still I managed to read 5 solid queer books. “Keep It in the Dark” by Justin Arnold took the highest spot and my bestie @dylslibrary.bsky.social would agree since we buddy read it 😁❤️.

Into Chapter 20 and now I’m crying 😭. This book is so beautiful and the accurate display of Puerto Rican culture warms my Boricua heart 🇵🇷❤️🥹.

📚🌈 Currently reading this queer sci-fi novella and these men are so thirsty for each other 🫦 when they are not trying to kill each other though 😂😂😂.
