I love my job because this is 90% the gist of all my professional correspondence 😆.

This particular masterpiece was doodled by my PA @fictionsandfriction who was impressively fast sending this after I asked her what pose we should put them in to show off the meat scepter. Which the spicy version of this art is available for your viewing pleasure in the VIP Lounge on my website (gain access when you sign up for my newsletter!!)

And of course the brilliant @giulia_fw.arts took one glance at this drawing, said bet, and delivered this epic piece of art.

Anyway, read THE BLOOD THAT BINDS US if you want to dive into a series where the FMC is a bloodwitch and turns her villain lover into her own personal gogurt.

📚GIRL GRIP📚

what’s in it? well let me tell yaaaaa…

🥤 @alaninutrition is always on deck, and if it’s not, it’s def 7 brewwww! i’m a slut for a sugar free/low carb drink, a happy beetes is a happy jenna.

📚 always have a book in hand, whether it’s through Kindle Unlimited or a physical one. TBTBU by @erinmainordauthor is one of my favorite dark fantasy series! Sin is just….sinful 😈

🎧 music is always blasting, sleep theory, motionless in white, state champs, beartooth, and president, are just some of my repeat obsessions.

🍆 you gotta have something to throw when your book ends on a cliff hanger or someone dies, so this crocheted peen is ready to be yeeted at a moments notice

thanks for the tag @whatdevonisreading 🖤 i’ve tagged a few besties, show me your grip!

✨️🖤 ડꪖ𝕥ꪊ𝕣ᦔꪖꪗ ડρꪮ𝕥ꪶⅈᧁꫝ𝕥 🖤✨️

I'm back again with some more of my favorite bookstagram accounts. I love these accounts for various reasons (see ☟). Be sure to check them out.

@rachii.reads is extremely talented and artistic. If you are looking to get into cross stitch she's your gal. She even has been doing monthly collabs with authors that you can also buy and she will teach you how to do it. She's always down to chat and I love getting her voice messages. PS she just got the most adorable puppy!

@maria.inksorceress oh how I love her. She is always coming in with some amazing book recs. She has some of the best best cosplay and it amazes me every single time. Also if you want to talk plants she is always down.

@lettesreads she seriously has the best Twillight collection I have ever seen. She is a d!e hard fan and I love it. If you are looking for fantasy/romantasy recs she will not lead you astray.

@plots.and.prose is one of the first bosta friends I met in the wild. I truly appreciate your friendship more than you know and cant wait to see you again in less than a week! She loves to feature a wide range of authors and content. Also the girl can cook the most beautiful food.

@thebookishmusician is always extremely helpful. She gave me so many good tips when I was a newbie on her. I have also gotten the chance to meet her and we both get to be influencer together next week at @midwestbookishfest And yes I am bringing you a "bag" of cheesecurds.

@ourmagictails commissions the best art ever for her favorite books. Please just dont go taking the art from her page though. She is always so sweet and I love all the animals she shares. She is your horse girlie.

@sherry_reads_books is truly a treat to get to know. She is absolutely hilarious and if you ever get the chance to watch her Story Time With Sherry please do. She loves recreating covers. Also she is an author so be sure to check out her books.

@fictionsandfriction is always down to chat about books. I have gotten to know her through being on teams together and always love connecting. She is also a fellow Midwest girl!

⁉️QOTD: What do you love about booksta?

🖤 𝓔𝓻𝓲𝓷 𝓜𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓻𝓭 🖤

You may have seen me around here (and everywhere) recommending the Bound by Blood series. It’s because I genuinely love this trilogy!!

This is a truly engrossing dark fantasy trilogy about Wren, a witch with blood magic and Singard, a dark mage warlord. Part of what I love about these books is that Wren and Sin are both at times morally grey but at ALL times headstrong and engaging. These books kept me addicted because the back and forth between these two is red hot! Not to mention I just loved the worldbuilding and complicated politics. I was hooked from reading the blurb for Book 1!

I am so due for a reread of this series!!

Series Tropes:
🌙 Captor/Captive
🖤 Enemies to Lovers to…
🌙 Betrayal
🖤 Touch her and “bye”
🌙 Knotting
🖤 Blood and plenty of unaliving
🌙 Shifters!

This beautiful omnibus is Erin’s signing edition!

❓QotD: Are you on any street teams or ARC teams? Or let me know how your Sunday is going! I think I might be getting a cold so that’s a thing 😖
