Brooke Riley found her love of literature very early in life. From the moment she learned to read, she devoured books like candy. Her love of writing developed in high school, and from the moment she started creating worlds, she never learned how to stop.

She is the author of the YA dystopian trilogy, How We Rise, and the Adult Magical Realism/Romance novel, The Dreams Between Us.

When she isn't writing books, she's probably writing anti-AI posts for her Substack or sharing anti-AI posts on social media. She can also be found reading or scrolling Pinterest in her free time.

You can find her on:

• Substack: brookeriley. substack.com
• Instagram: thebrookeriley

Finding Myself In The Midst Of The Fog

I was mulling this over last night, trying to decide if this is truly the direction I want to go. And I think it’s not about what I want, but what I need.

I have written countless posts (okay drama queen, we could count them actually, but it’s been quite a few!) of the way social media has drained me. I’ve gone back and forth on being on hiatus from it, to then scrolling endlessly.

I think there is

There's just something about the way Tahereh Mafi writes that makes me want to consume every last word written on the page.

I am so late to the Shatter Me hype train, but I am here now, and I am willing to read every word. I am so beyond in love wit

Quotes by Brooke Riley  (?)

“Rising to my feet, I make my decision. Samantha wants ruthless? I'll be cold, heartless, and unforgiving from now on. It will be the only I can survive this.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“Peter looks up again, though he doesn't seem to see what's truly in front of him. No, he's watching something from years ago, watching another boy being taken away like the one I watched today.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“Promise me you'll never leave me.' His voice is husky.
'Only if you promise me the same thing,' I say.”
Brooke Riley, How We Rise

“There's a few things even fire can't destroy.”
A.J. Sky, Firestorm

“Weston is everything
And all at once.
Weston is gentle
And harsh.
Weston can be blindingly bright
But then he can also be
Delicately soft.
Weston is a paradox.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“And, actually, I was feeling pretty good at the time. My brothers were like individual rays of sunshine that had come crashing into my room to drive out the fragments of Despair. For a few minutes, everything was golden. And everything was okay.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“Well?' he asks when I don’t open my eyes and silently savor the goodness. 'What do you taste?'

I smile despite myself. 'The most amazing waffles under the sun.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“This is when I usually crack a lame joke, like, “Yeah, sorry, I left my real legs at home.”
Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight
