hi!! so sorry if I've ignored anyone or ignored any buddy reads I had planned, I'm so sorry. I've been having issues with my health and I've been traveling to other countries, so I haven't been active much and for that I apologize to anyone I've ignored or not interacted with. I'm going to start being more active. if we have a br planned or we missed our br pls message me either on here or on my socials. 💋

I've been gone for a month why are there so many new characters omg 😭

have a lovely day 💋

give me the worst Rina Kent or Lola king book, I feel like torturing myself.

something we need to leave behind in 2025 are books not having a diverse cast. because why the fuck is everyone in a fantasy or romance book a white straight cis gendered individual? can we make our characters unique? can we have more race representation? we want Arabs, Asians, brown people, black people. we want queer characters, trans characters.
lets represent more communities in books.

I saw someone say that Victoria averyard is calling out Lauren Roberts for plagiarism. but I can't comment on their status update and they aren't responding to the comments, so is it true? I checked her tiktok and there's noting there. & my insta's banned so if anyone could tell me if this is true? because of it is, that's AMAZING.

so much motivation to read, but you don't know what to read.

hey guys, am I the only one who's experiencing this issue? whenever I search up a book on goodreads & click on it, it directs me to a page that says, "Sorry, we couldn’t find the page you were looking for." if anyone's experiencing this please lmk!
fuckass app.
