Listen, I have a TBR problem. And by problem, I mean these covers keep finding me, and apparently I have absolutely NO self-control. 😂💜 Today’s lineup of books I need to get to ASAP: 🐉 Unbound by Penelope Bloom 🖤 The Ascended by Greenwich and Lennox 🌊 Sea of Shadows by C.M. Gilvere 🔥 A Wrecking of Salt and Fire by E.K. Kondo 💀 A Spell of Bones and Madness by E.K. Kondo 🐲 The Dragon Has Some Complaints by John Wiswell 🌙 The Song of Salt and Shadow by Seren Rose Have I read them? Nope. Am I already hyping them up? Absolutely. 😂 Because LOOK AT THESE COVERS. 😍 And the descriptions have me intrigued, my curiosity is officially activated, and my TBR is out here acting like it doesn’t already have 947 other books waiting for attention. Someone please give me 48 hours in a day, because at this point, I need to read faster than my book-buying and book-adding habits. 📚💜 Tell me which one I need to pick up FIRST! #tbr #reels #bookstagram #fyp #books

💀 🌲 BOOK REVIEW 🌲 Someone You Can Build a Nest In by @john_wiswell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Q: Have you read any monster romance from the POV of the monster? This was such a surprisingly sweet cosy horror. I genuinely fell in love with Shesheshen while reading this book and her growing affection for Homily tugged at my heart. I loved everything about their unconventional relationship. They were just so sweet, so kind, so understanding with each other. They just wanted the best for each other through everything awful that was happening. I loved that Shesheshen was monstrous and lovely at the same time. I love that she wanted to be nice for Homily when she didn’t care what anyone else thought. The plot was also engaging and sometimes surprising, and a lot of fun to follow through the monster’s eyes as she’s in disguise helping the hunting party hunt…her. All in all a very fun, surprisingly lovely book. Key words: queer books • lgbt+ stories • diverse reads • sapphic romance • aussie bookstagram • australian bookstagrammer • avid reader • always reading • bookworm • book lover (ID in alt text) A copy of someone you can build a nest in is held in front of a rainbow bookshelf

[PRÉCOMMANDES] Vous cherchez votre lecture spooky idéale pour l’automne ? 🍁 On ne peut que vous recommander “Je ferais de toi mon nid“ de John Wiswell, qui arrivera le 29 octobre en librairie ! 💘 Ce roman ose le mélange unique entre horreur et ambiance cosy en vous narrant une romance touchante, racontée par le point de vue d’un monstre aussi effrayant qu’étrange. Shesheshen est une créature métamorphe qui sera totalement bousculée quand elle rencontrera Homélie, une humaine à laquelle elle va s’attacher… 👀 Et qui lui fera ressentir des émotions inhabituelles. 💖 Comme l’envie de la dévorer… 😱Mais n’est-ce pas la plus belle preuve d’amour pour son espèce ? 💘 Racontée du point de vue de Shesheshen, ce roman garni d’humour noir et absurde renverse la figure du monstre. Malgré son aspect de créature horrifique, Shesheshen est un personnage drôle, complexe et très attachant. 🥰 Étonnée des mœurs humaines, elle découvrira pourtant tout un nouveau monde en compagnie d’Homélie. Un roman plein d’humanité que l’on finit le sourire aux lèvres ! 😍 📖 Résumé : Shesheshen est la terrifiante et redoutée guivre de Basseterre. Créature métamorphe, elle repose dans sa forme naturelle, un amas de chair et d’outils épars utilisés comme os, griffes et crocs, au sein d’une caverne inhospitalière au cœur de la forêt. Un jour, alors qu’elle fuit des humains inopportuns, elle est secourue par une jeune femme aussi douce que bienveillante : Homélie, qui provoque une agitation tout à fait peu naturelle dans la poitrine du monstre. Mais ses chasseurs la traquent sans relâche, persuadés qu’elle fait peser sur eux une malédiction et que lui dérober son cœur serait la clef pour y mettre fin. Le seul problème ? Shesheshen n’a pas de cœur. D’où vient alors ce sentiment qui l’envahit à chaque fois qu’elle pose les yeux sur sa sauveuse ? Et surtout, comment lui expliquer que la dévorer est la plus belle preuve d’amour ?

Still on cloud 9 from meeting 4 brilliant authors yesterday! The husband and I made our way to our first Southport Literary Festival hosted by @bhbkenosha and @mykpl and we were absolutely blown away. Meeting these 4 women was an absolute dream and could not be more grateful and thankful for this event. •Overview of the books I purchased •Meeting the lovely @meganderson.writes who was just the absolute sweetest and had such positive infectious energy! I have been so excited for the release of her debut novel and cannot wait to see what she has in store! •Meeting the amazing @_jo_salazar_ who’s book has me absolutely hooked and am looking forward to any sequels •Meeting the down to earth and sweet @janashawrites who’s novel I can’t wait to dive into •Finally meeting @rbeaird and being blown away by her panel and learning the history and process of Tenderness •Of course no book outing is complete without additional purchases - I picked up my holds at Blue House Books one including @nickmedinawrites who’s coming to BHB next month and I cannot wait. Couldn’t leave this event without snatching up @whimsywamcreations sign which fits perfectly in my home. And of course had to pick up the first of @richard_chizmar and to my surprise saw it has been signed and the husband picked up these two books he’s super excited about at the take a book leave a book table. Such a fun way to spend my Saturday and can’t wait to see what the future holds for all these authors!

Who knew queer whimsical romance and body horror paired so well together?? Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell is a fantastic whirlwind of revenge, identity, and love in all its forms. It's so much fun. Here are my highlights: • a shape-shifting, cave-dwelling monster parading as a human (whose narrative feels exactly like navigating the world as a chronically ill, autistic person) • a fat love interest with parental trauma • some excellent names, including a bear called Blueberry • guts and gore everywhere • hilarious commentary on the general foolishness of society I bought this copy from the library's second-hand book sale! Swipe for the blurb, and let me know your thoughts on this book if you've already read it 💚 . . . #sffbooks #sapphicbooks #bookrecs #bookreview #cosyfantasy bookstagram, queer literature, disability representation, tbr, book recommendations, LGBTQ books, reading is political, social commentary, books for halloween The paperback edition of "someone you can build a nest in" by John Wiswell, held up against an assortment of green books that match its front cover. A tiny Lego flower basket and a Sylvanian Families giraffe are among the trinkets that surround it.
