I had the pleasure of going to the Decatur stop on I had the pleasure of going to the Decatur stop on the Promise Boys tour, and it was such a great time. I loved getting to hear Nick talk about the book, and his insights into the craft of writing were so helpful. 

S/O @braveandkindbooks for hosting. It was my first time there, and the store is so cute and welcoming. And s/o to @fiercereads for my Promise Boys hoodie. I felt extra fly 💁🏽‍♀️

I’ll never get enough of murder mystery books set in high schools, and this book surely didn’t disappoint. It’s a great option for young readers who’ll be able to see themselves or their experiences in these boys and the friends that loved them enough to fight for them. 

Also long time no see 🫣 I’ve been working two jobs for a year tomorrow, and I still haven’t found out how to balance my life. I’ma get it together and start posting more eventually though. Just bear with me y’all 🤣🤣

2023 is going to be my year of sequels and sophomore novels. I’m always on top of reading a debut, but by the time the second book comes out I’m nowhere to be found. I’m excited to crack open more of these amazing authors’ writing.

These are just the ones that I have physical copies of, but there are plenty more that I want to read on Libby. Trying to actually start with the books I have so I can work my physical TBR down some 😅 (I know, an impossible task, but I will try nevertheless).

Do you have a theme for your 2023 reading? What book are you starting the year with? I already finished my first book of the year (If Tomorrow Doesn’t Come) and it was so 🥹🥰.

✨YALLfest 2022✨ It was my second year at YALL ✨YALLfest 2022✨

It was my second year at YALLfest, but my first with publishers being there, and I had the best time. It all goes by so quickly, but here’s a small recap of the fun I had in those two days.

I got to meet Angeline Boulley, Jas Hammonds, Lindsay Puckett, Casey McQuiston and more people I love. I also randomly saw Chloe Gong at an intersection and joined her conversation very briefly 🤣

My favorite panel was Allowing for Anger. I love an angry MC, so it was great listening to writers talk about their experiences with anger.

I got more ARCs than I could imagine, and spent way too much of my own money on books (the Addie Larue special edition was $$)

I cannot wait until next year’s 🤩 And hopefully I’ll have a partner next year cause there were not enough me’s to do everything I wanted 😂

💟 Happy Ace Week 💟

Okay, technically it ended 26 minutes ago, but I’m nothing if not a procrastinator. These are all books (that I love or that are on my TBR) with characters on the asexual spectrum.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t have anything profound to say. I just love being me (most of the time), even when it’s hard to get other people to understand. The Charm Offensive and Ace were both big in me finally understanding myself more 🥰 Definitely would check some of these out if you’re interested in reading more stories with ace-spec characters.
