POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

📚 If you know me, you know this trend was basically made for me.

A name tag and four bookish categories later, and somehow my entire personality can be summed up by an author, a trope, a character, and a title. 😂

Also, can we talk about how finding a character whose name starts with “Y” felt like a side quest all on its own? Why are there so few of them?! 😅

Swipe through and tell me: which one would you pick for your name? Bonus points if you can match mine before checking the answers. ✨

🎄✨ STOP EVERYTHING… WE HAVE A COVER REVEAL! ✨🎄

Best friends since childhood, a love that never went away, a family feud that tore them apart, and now they’re being thrown back together? Oh, the ANGST! 😩❤️

He’s been in love with her for years, she wants nothing to do with him, and suddenly a broken boat might be the best thing that’s ever happened to him. 😂🚤 But when old feelings meet unresolved history, things are bound to get complicated!

And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, throw in a secluded island, separate cabins, and a little Christmas magic. 🎁❄️ I’m getting all the cozy holiday vibes with just the right amount of tension, and I am HERE for it!

✨ Childhood friends
✨ Enemies to lovers
✨ Forced proximity
✨ Small-town holiday romance
✨ Family drama and secret pining

Tell me, besties: Are childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romances your weakness, too? Because the PINING alone has me 👀❤️‍🔥

🖤🕯️ COVER REVEAL 🕯️🖤

BRIAR SOMERSET HAS DONE IT AGAIN!! 😍🖤

Give me gothic vibes, a murder mystery, dark secrets, and a little touch of the macabre, and I AM SOLD. 👏🏻✨ This sounds like the perfect read for anyone who loves their mysteries wrapped in shadows, with secrets that refuse to stay buried and questions that might be better left unanswered. 👀

Set in Paris in 1844, this gothic horror mystery novella promises intrigue, the unexplained, and a mystery that just might blur the line between the living and the dead. And that tagline?! EXCUSE ME?! 🥀🖤

📖 Château Valmont fans, are we ready to dive back into the world of My Darling Malady?!

🗓️ Releasing January 26
🎧 Coming to immersive audio drama Spring 2027!

I’m already intrigued, and I cannot wait to see what Briar has in store for us this time! 🖤

💬 Tell me, are you picking this one up? And do you love a good gothic horror mystery?

✨📚 My 2027 reading challenges are HERE! 📚✨

Because apparently, my TBR isn’t intimidating enough already… 😂🫣

For 2027, I’m taking on two reading challenges, and I’m so excited to see how they go!

📖 27 in 2027 — 27 books I want to make time for next year! Some have been on my TBR for way too long, while others are books I’ve been dying to read. 🫶🏻

🔤 The Alphabet Challenge — I’m doing this one again in 2027! I loved having this challenge on my list this year, so of course I had to bring it back. The goal is to read a book for every letter of the alphabet, and I’m excited to keep going and see what books fill those letters next year! 📚✨

Of course, these are more like reading goals than strict rules because we all know mood reading will always have the final say. 🤣 But I’m hoping these challenges will help me step outside my usual reads and finally pick up some books I’ve been putting off!

Now tell me, book besties… 💕 What reading challenges are you planning for 2027? And if you’re doing either of these, let’s cheer each other on!

Four morally grey alphas? Say less. 🥵🔥

Sometimes you pick a book for the cover, and sometimes you end up getting WAY more than you bargained for. 😂 This one gave me laughs, spice, and four fictional men I absolutely do not need to be explaining myself over. 🐺🦊🐻🐯

If you love your romances a little unhinged, a little dark, and VERY spicy, you might want to add this one to your TBR! 🖤📚

Tell me… are you choosing one favorite or keeping all four? 👀👇

🧛🏻‍♂️🖤 Apparently, my reading choices lately are just me seeing a pretty cover and making it everyone’s problem. 😂📚

I swear, some of my most entertaining reading experiences start with absolutely ZERO research and a whole lot of blind faith. 🤣🫣 Sometimes it pays off, and sometimes I’m just sitting there questioning every decision that led me to this moment. 💀😂

But hey, we love a little chaos in our TBR, right?! 🩸🖤

Be honest… are you a cover buyer, a blurb reader, or a “just trust the vibes” reader? 👀👇🏻
