🖤🅱🅾🅾🅺🆂 🆁🅴🅰🅳 🅸🅽 🅹🆄🅽🅴🖤
Books read : 6
Pages read : 934

My reading is so slow and lacking this year. However, I'm not disappointed in any way. I am still reading, and it doesn't matter how many books I read each month, as long as I am still reading. Do I wish I was reading more? Hell yes! I have over 3k books on my current tbr, but it will be what it will be.
Don't ever punish yourself, or let anyone else say anything negative to you about the amount that you read each month! As long as you are reading, that is what matters! 🖤

Books I read -
▪︎ Go Down Hard by Ali Seay (horror)
▪︎ Dear Laura by Gemma Amor (horror)
▪︎ All Hallows Hex by Kenna Bellrae (f/f romance)
▪︎ Red Room by Ash Ericmore (horror)
▪︎ Slashed by Thalia Sanchez (erotic horror)
▪︎ No, For An Answer by C.J. Riggs (dark romance, revenge)

What was your favourite read in June?

🖤𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖂𝖊𝖊𝖐🖤

This is my first ever post, but I've been running low in the creativity department lately, which is why I haven't posted much. Life lately feels like it's at a giant standstill, and I am desperately trying to find myself again. I know I will get there it's just taking a really long time.

Anyway, enough of being a sad sap, here's my what this week...

𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕴'𝖒 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌...
Honestly, not much! My reading so far for 2024 has been SLOW! I started Go Down Hard by Ali Seay last night, though, and I am really enjoying it.

𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕴'𝖒 𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖙𝖔...
Eminem's new song, Houdini, is currently on repeat! I have been a massive Em fan since I was in my early teens, and this song has me feeling so many good things!

𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕴'𝖒 𝖜𝖆𝖙𝖈𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌...
I have been watching 911 and 911 Lonestar on Disney+ for the last few weeks. Both such great shows.

𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕴'𝖒 𝖑𝖔𝖔𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖉 𝖙𝖔...
So this one is a bit harder for me with my mental state where it is at the moment. However, Master 5 started playing miniroo's soccer a few weeks ago, and his games on a Saturday morning are always so fun to watch. 🖤

How is your week going? Do you have anything planned?

Talk soon, boo's,

It's been ages since I've been tagged in anything (yay, to never being around anymore 🫣), so when the beautiful tagged me in this one, I jumped straight on it! Thank you, lovely. 🖤

I have so many favourite books, so this was hard, but also not really.

I'm going to tag a few lovelies in this one, but also, if you see this and want to join in, then consider yourself tagged. 🖤

Are you ready to head back to Blackstone?
24/02/2024

𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖉 by .l.steele
book 2 in the Blackstone Gates series

Read the TW! ⚠️

𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗥𝗕
𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑒
I wanted her gone.

Our breakable, defiant, human mate.

I wanted to run her out of Blackstone Gates, never to see her again. That was until the last night she spent with us, and now she is missing.

Taken from right under our noses by a being who has hated our family for centuries.

I want to destroy him. The need to feel his blood running through my fingers is strong. But even I know it will not be that easy. Not with him.

It will take sacrifice to get her back, a sacrifice all of us are willing to give.

𝑊𝑦𝑛𝑛
I was hunted.

Falling prey to both the men who forced their way into my soul and to the being who is hellbent on revenge.

He wants to hurt them, to watch them suffer at his hands. He craves power, and I am his golden ticket. Or so he tells me.

But something he has no control over is the fates, fates that have a different path carved out for me.

I become intertwined in the web of secrets and lies, finding allies in places that I least expect it.

If I make it out, my life will never be the same.

In light of what has been happening lately with certain authors being targeted and attacked, what better time than now to shout out some amazing taboo authors!

Now, these authors and the types of taboo that they write are not going to be for everyone, and that is ok! Please, please, research each authors works and their trigger and content warnings before picking up their books! Your mental well-being is always what comes first!!

The amazing authors featured in this post are :
🥀 𝐊.𝐀. 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐧
🥀 𝐑𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐈𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝
🥀 𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐞

The amazing amount of support for taboo authors that is happening in our community right now is astounding, but it just proves again that our community here truly is so very accepting of everyone. I'm so proud of all of you, my fellow readers, and authors. 🖤

How many books do you have in your currently reading list at one time? Do you restrict yourself to one book, or do you let it run wild and get to nine like I have? 😅

Yep, I currently have nine books on the go, and I am actually reading every one of them, which is surprising even to me, lol!

I'm hoping to finish the majority of these by the end of the month - fingers crossed.

One year ago, on a rainy night, I made a horrible mistake.
A mistake that would haunt my every waking moment.
I accidentally k!ll3d Nate, the star quarterback.
Or so I thought.

Now he’s back from the de@d.
Nothing will quench his thirst for revenge.
Not until my broken pieces lie scattered by his feet
and he’s inhaled my last breath.
The only way out is in a b0dy bag.

Something new from me, and I'm hoping to make it a regular weekly post. A gentle reminder each week because I know that myself and a lot of you as well, can get caught up in what we think is expected of us as Bookstagrammers and readers.

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and that the holiday period has been kind to you.
