☠️ 💜 🪽 This is a pretttty big call BUT I’m fairly certain Grim Tidings is my absolute favourite read of 2026 😍👻

Do I now have three editions? Yes.
Do I have different editions on the way? Also Yes.
Do I adore them all? 100% Yes.
Will I ever emotionally recover from Tater Tot’s bonus chapter? It’s too early to say but I make no promises 😭 (a sentiment @dollymctavish can confirm!)

The Ghosted series has absolutely got me in a chokehold but don’t worry about me, I’m exactly where I want to be 😍 by @this.gal.reads

👻 🌵 🤠 About Last Night ✨ 🐴 🥃

What an incredible night! @hachetteaus and @the.forbchapter sure know how to make an event absolutely phenomenal! ✨

@authorlylasage was so captivating, entertaining and absolutely hilarious - honestly her energy is totally unmatched - what a spooky queen! 👌🖤

@tierney.reads did a phenomenal job hosting the Q & A, we had a total powerhouse duo of entertainment 🫶

@the.forbchapter did an amazing job as always! Stace and Ash are the best! ✌️ 📚

What an event to start off my week - cup absolutely overflowing! 😍🌵🐴🏜️👻 taken in 75 Reid St by @this.gal.reads

Sports Sunday 🏒⛸️🥅 🏈⚽️🏀🏎️

If you told Year 9 me that I’d grow up to LOVE reading Sports Romance, I would have told you to get wrecked 🫣😂

👉This Gal 👈 avoided ALL sports-related activities at any costs 😂

Athletics carnival? - absolutely not.
Beep Test? - I don’t even know her.

I’m just a girl.
Standing in front of her shelves.
Wishing she was watching Practical Magic 2 again 🥲

I may just have to settle for Practical Magic to get my fix 🫣😂 by @this.gal.reads

🩷 🩵 If anyone was wondering what that screeching noise was earlier today, it was me opening up this absolutely STUNNING Limited Edition Character ARC from the one, the only, @rebeccajenshak 😱😍😭🥹
Whitney and Conrad were absolutely amazing, I LOVED them so much 🥹 So to receive their gorgeous book means the world - thank you SO much Rebecca (and of course, Jamie - your email takeovers give me life 😂)

And we can’t ignore those absolute 🎀 bow-tiful beauties 🎀 in the background 😍😍😍😍 by @this.gal.reads

Happy Saturday! 👻 🎃 🪦 🦇 🕯️ 💀

Your girl is tired 🥱 I don’t know about you but I am well and truly ready for the school holidays to be finished and routines to return! The break from lunchboxes has been fab but in retrospect, I think I’d rather make one lunchbox each than be a certified Snack Bi+ch for 12 hours a day 🫣😬😒😂

Anywho.. whatcha reading?! 📖 📚 ☕️ 🪴 by @this.gal.reads
