🕯 Blackout by Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jac 🕯 Blackout by Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon — 6/22/21 🕯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Juneteenth y’all 🥳 Hope y’all are celebrating good. I’m celebrating by telling y’all about this amazing unapologetically Black book. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not gon really talk about plot because I think it’s better to go into this without knowing much, but when they said interconnected they mean interconnected!! I’d read a chapter and then 10 minutes later see a familiar name and I’d be like 🤔🤔 oh snap thats pookies ex girlfriends cousins dog walker from the last story. I need someone to make a connections map cause that would be so interesting to see. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This book is also a lesson in how not to be greedy because there were some stories like Nic Stone’s where I just wanted more 😩 I would read a full length of all of these, but you really just gotta appreciate the short story form. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Blackout was truly an experience to read though. I screamed Ms. Jackson several times during a part of her story cause I was 🤭 And Dhonielle naming one of her characters Zoraida is best friend goals fr. Idk why Angie had to bring up the Atlanta superbowl though. That hurt 🥲 And the way Nicola gon have you thinking. Had me like 🤔 Also Ashley’s story gave what it needed to give okay. Cannot wait for her upcoming books 👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The tropes in this were just top tier too. I mean between the pining and the tension, I just 🥺🥺 I love Black love. So yeah pick this one up y’all. You want it. You need it. There are queer stories in it too, so there’s really something for everybody. No excuses not to get it 🗣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thank you to the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own*
🎸Tell Me When It’s Over by B. Celeste — 05/ 🎸Tell Me When It’s Over by B. Celeste — 05/18/21🎸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hey y’all 👋🏼 I’m back with another #SRC2021 pick. This one is an audiobook 🎧 I keep saying I want to start an audiobook since I haven’t listened to one this year, so this is the perfect opportunity. The reviews say this is a slow burn, and I love a good slow burn so I’m ready for this 💃🏽 I also love an audiobook with more than one narrator 👌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Blurb: I was twelve years old when I met one of the world’s hottest celebrities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thirteen when I was welcomed into his family. Fourteen when I realized what his unconditional love felt like. Fifteen when he helped me figure out what hope was. And sixteen when my mother’s biggest lie changed our lives forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I swore I would never be like the woman whose chronic lies impacted everybody around her, but then I’d be a hypocrite. Because three years after the truth came out, and I reunited with the boy whose innocent love had been taken from me, I realized I was living the biggest lie of all. The one where I pretended I wasn’t in love with Kyler Bishop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #TellMeWhenItsOver #BCeleste #BookSparks #Audiobooks #RomanceBooks
🛀🏻 Bath Haus by P.J. Vernon — 06/15/21🛀 🛀🏻 Bath Haus by P.J. Vernon — 06/15/21🛀🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thriller but make it gay 🌈 or Thriller but make it one of the most mind blowing books I’ve read in a while. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I watched the @PrideBookFest Live with P.J. and his unboxing video on here, and he seems like the sweetest person ever. Which makes a little scared how he was able to write this 👀 but lemme tell y’all why I loved it: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚿 What it looks like when your life is tied to your significant other’s; Codependency tings 🚿 No secret was a secret but no one knew that their secrets weren’t secrets anymore 🚿 A ‘that’s how y’all got together in the first place’ yikes 😬 🚿 Even with all the fear and twists, it was so funny at times. The language is so fresh like conversations I have with my friends 🚿 Old generation vs New generation 🚿 My jaw dropped several times 🚿 Is everybody out to get me? 🚿 The type of book where as soon as you finish, you want to reread to see how you missed everything 🚿 I can’t think of the last book I read where the characters lied this much 😭 I mean just constant lies and if they couldn’t lie they gaslight and accuse. I started to lose my mind too 🚿 Me and Oliver both being self destructive 🤝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I would like all the queer thrillers please and thank you because this one was it 🔥🔥 *Thank you to Doubleday for the ARC. All opinions are my own* ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #BathHaus #PJVernon #DoubledayBooks #ThrillerBooks #PrideReads #PrideMonth #GayBooks
🐍The Cruelest Mercy by Natalie Mae — 06/15/21 🐍The Cruelest Mercy by Natalie Mae — 06/15/21🐍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know when the second book completely lives up to the first one?!?!! It happened here 🥳🥳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m here to giveaway this amazing second book. I accidentally requested a copy from Penguin Teen before remembering I had already preordered it in January 🤦🏽‍♀️ so I’m passing the joy on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reasons I absolutely loved this book (and you might to): 👑 If you love Loki, you’ll probably love Kasta 👑 If you love hilarious internal dialogue, you’ll enjoy this because Zahru lives very much in her mind, where she often thinks about revenge and dessert 👑 The best side characters. So glad we got to see more of Hen and Mora because I love them 👑 Me not picking a team after the first book but waffling between them, and being extremely happy with the winning team in this one 😌 👑 Zahru working through some extreme but valid trust issues 👑 Who knew training how to kill someone could be romantic? 👉🏼👈🏼 👑 The Cruelest Mercy indeed 👑 An ending that shocked me as much as the first book’s ending. @penguinteen I’m here to grovel for a 3rd book. I lay out your feet. Please 😩😩🙏🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Giveaway: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 person will win this copy of The Cruelest Mercy and 1 person will win a copy of The Kinder Poison (Must provide address or have it on Amazon wishlist).
