book update! i finished a good girl's guide to murder, and it was fine! not a fav but not the worst thing i've ever read. it's in the script for my first booktube video!

currently reading someone you can build a nest in. i'm so excited for it, i don't think y'all understand. i went to the b&n helpdesk to find it.

hoping to have the first booktube video up soon! i have to record and edit it, but it's fully scripted! it's a topic that i have a lot of opinions on 🤭

[bookishkates]

finished another book this week! posted it on my insta first as i do, but Molly's work never fails to move me in ways i didn't know existed. i will be forever grateful.

now, if any of y'all have any good book recs, please let me know! always looking for new books, and ones that can scratch specific itches! looking for more books to also start making my first youtube videos with <3

[bookishkates]

quick little reading update! i'm trying to be more active here, i promise. this is my current read, and i'm hoping to finish it soon. if you want to see my review when it drops, check out my goodreads! i tear stuff apart over there.

in other news, i also want to start posting reviews and other bookish things on youtube to become a booktuber, so if you're interested in that, let me know. hoping to have more books to show you and discuss soon

Ask Me About My Uterus by Abby Norman (BIG recommend)

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (literally changed my life)

Medieval or fairytale (can you tell there's a theme there)

Don't really have one (willing to take recs though! I just don't read a lot of science fiction)

Near-future, biopunk, and feminist science fiction (I'm actually currently writing something with these)

Payback's A Witch by Lana Harper and I Kissed A Girl by Jennet Alexander

Enjoy: enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine, opposites attract; dislike: smut (depending on execution), tragic queerness, the booktok man (if you know, you know)

Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag (I have The Deep Dark locked and loaded for the next read)

Murder on The Orient Express by Agatha Christie

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (ugly sobbed at this book)

A Lesson in Vengence by Victoria Lee (but this book is SUPER low on my book ranking list bc horror books need to meet a certain threshold for me)

The Last Thing He Told Me (again, the bar is on the floor bc this book didn't impress me either)

Don't have one

Mystery, thriller, horror, romance (sometimes), fantasy

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (they're on my shelf to be read, but they're probably the best I can do)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan (basic, I know, but I can't help having taste)

I don't read series generally for the reason of them not being finished and also being a big time commitment

I try to! It depends on what I find in a store or on TikTok. I love the Blind Date with a Book boxes, so I usually just go with whatever I get in those.

Again, bookstores or TikTok. I cannot walk into a B&N or a BAM or even Target without getting a book.

The Great Gatsby; The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis; The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Percy Jackson

Don't have but want one

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard

The Biscuit the Dog books and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Goodreads 1000%

178 and counting

3

Physical copy always

Molly Knox Ostertag and Casey McQuiston

Pretty much never now that I'm out of high school

N/A

Predictable endings in horror books; most horror books have had an ending I predicted from chapter 5, which ruined the experience as a reader

Talia Avramov (Payback's A Witch) and Lilah Silver (I Kissed A Girl)

The Last Thing He Told Me (kind of)

10 but I'm hoping to read another this weekend

Depends on the book. If the top reviews on Goodreads are bad, I generally don't pick up that book or add it to my tbr.

Yes, and I still do! Working on lots of things right now

Depends on location and travel method but generally 1 or 2.

No, but I have one exception in that I bought the collector's edition of RWRB.

My Harry Potter books (that I got literally probably ten years ago) because my mom and extended family have borrowed them to read.

Seven Husbands, Go the Distance by Jen Calonita, and The Night Circus

SEVEN HUSBANDS PLEASE and also I Kissed A Girl because I think it would have similar vibes to Scream (2000)

I like horror, witchy, autumnal, and sapphic books, please give me recs!

The Last Thing He Told Me, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and Jagged Little Pill by Eric Smith

Every book I've read since getting my Goodreads has a review, and I don't hold back.

Depends on the day, the vibe, and what I want. Generally I like funny or upbeat books for romance/sapphic reads, but I will always take sapphic rep in my horror/thriller/mystery books.
