Calling all gaymers, spooky bitches, and book lovers… are you ready to get scared? 👻🌈🎮📚

We’ve fallen HARD for Fortnite over the last couple of months (I mean we’ve been playing basically every damn night 😅), so obviously we had to combine two of our current obsessions: Fortnitemares skins + spooky books.

So we matched some of our favorite Fortnitemares skins with books that give the exact same spooky, creepy, campy, or downright chaotic energy. A match made in hell 🔥😈.

QUESTION❓

What are some video games and books do you like? Drop a comment and let us know…or drop your Fortnite handle for SQUADSSSS!!!

As always, happy reading & gaming besties 🎮🫶🏼

🌈📚 My variants explained: emotional, protective, stubborn, a little unhinged, slightly feral, deeply loyal, and somehow still the responsible one in the group 😌

A Katniss Everdeen who just wants peace (and yes, we share the same birthday 🤭), a Shrek who hates people but loves his people, a Dexter with anxiety and a plan, and a Beast with a tough exterior protecting a soft heart 🥺

Sprinkle in Batman levels of trauma and control issues, Lisa Simpson intelligence with existential dread, Woody loyalty issues, and Dana Evans boss energy… and yeah, you got me 🤭

📚 Sapphic stories deserve to be celebrated loudly and lovingly 🌈

🏳️‍⚧️ 30 Trans Books to Read All Year 📚

The Trans Rights Readathon may be ending today, but our support doesn’t have to. There are so many ways to uplift our trans siblings all year long.

Here are 30 trans books 💕 mostly YA with a few adult picks, including some favorites and some still waiting for me on my TBR.

Because every story matters. Because representation matters. Because trans rights are human rights.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🩵🩷🤍
