Another holiday photoshoot with your favorite senior dog and your hellhound princess niece. sometimes its the little things that make the difference
The only one getting a good night sleep in my house. It‘s been a hard couple of days here. Send love, light, prayers, and tequila(lol just kidding) two deaths in the family recently.
Just a friendly note from Chloe Okoye or mommy‘s little hellhound princess.
Mommy has been exhausted and not feeling well. She would like to thank @MaleficentBookDragon for another awesome swap. Also, thank you to Elizabeth L for the fun box and books to keep my mom company while she takes time to rest. She did send out some Litsy mail and hope it reaches everyone. She is still behind. Now back to annoying my brother.
pickWicked Prince of Shadows Review
This book surprised me. The enemies-to-lovers story felt like it was going to be only an enemies story. lol I had a fun time. I will say pages 222-223 were my favorite part. It was so raw and beautiful. I feel like the underlying theme of finding joy in the darkest of places is something we all need to keep in mind. 4 out of 5
pickI enjoyed this fast-paced book. It's more like Golden Girls meet John Wick vibes. It was a fun ride from start to finish. The author gave real auntie vibes to be story. I felt like I could see these women as my aunts and grandma. The transition from past to present wasn't overcomplicated or made you feel lost. It was a smooth transition to give you a little more depth to each of the 4 women. 4 out of 5 for me.
I wanted to say, I sent my swap box out on Thursday, and I received my swap box this week. #AHRS2025
It's been a long week. I am a little behind in Litsy mail, but I have some time this weekend to get caught up. Happy Friday, everyone.
Book #3 in the Wicked Prince Series
Release Date: 10/17/2025
Wicked Prince of Carnage by @candacerobinsonbooks & @amberrduell
Welcome to the dark world of Grimm, where the villains are as wicked as their desires.
Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Will she kill the wolf or tame him?
If you like morally grey and fairy tales retold, this one is for you. I have started reading and I am hooked.
If you like corn mazes, alpha wolves, and spooky season - this book is for you. lol
This is a short & ghost pepper spicy read on Kindle Unlimited. It's Alphas looking for their Omega.
I will say, I love almost everything Imani Jay puts out. If you like multicultural spicy reads, she does give you some jalapeño to Carolina Reaper spicy.
ONCE AGAIN, this is GHOST PEPPER SPICY.
Sharing is caring.

New Queen has been announced!! I am here for it!!
@Eggs here are some random pins I got when I went to #leakycon a couple years back. I like getting pins and keychains when I go to cons. I do not collect keychains, but they are nice to have with all the different bags I have.
I never see any Newt & Leta stuff, so this pin was a nice find. #artistalley #supportsmallartist #iheartenamelpins
@Eggs here is a small amount of them. I have them displayed on pin boards I made. Except the princess and the frog pair, these are kickstarter on this board. I need to post my jean jacket at some point, there are pins on there. I change them out for my jacket. I have 7 displays I made for them. I need to make more.
As a kid - All sorts of pins
As an adult - just enamel Pins
I wish I could find the pins I collected from childhood, as a adult, I keep up with all my pins. Many have a story, and some I felt compelled to get. My favorite place to get enamel pins is kickstarter. I have got some cute pins and some really good ebooks, highly recommend. There are some good gems in the indie space.
pickWicked Prince of Mirrors @angelajfordbooks review
4 out of 5 stars - review
This book is great for fall/cozy reading. I fell in love with the story. There was enough world-building with elements that we would understand. It was a good spin on the enemies-to-lovers trope, and this did not disappoint. I am excited for the rest of the Wicked Prince series.
Currently Reading this. This is my ARC read. I love this author, and there is a whole series that includes some of my favorite romantasy authors. It's called the Wicked Prince Series. I got it as an ebook. This title comes out tomorrow. If you look at my Instagram you will see all the books in the series and the release dates. So far, I am liking this book. I have never been disappointed with this author.
My Spooky Season Book Spin - I rolled 19 - so I will get a spooky themed book and post what I got tomorrow. Let's hope I get a better role.
#bookspin #spookyseason #october
Littens - come get your niece over here. She is driving me and Buddha crazy. Who sleeps like this? Who? I feel like some days Buddha wants to put “sister for sale” sign on Chloe Okoye. lol #dogsoflitsy
Finally have 5 mins of quiet to post. Little late with the fall swap post but i love everything. I have to admit the drink sleeve is slackers kiss because I love drink sleeves. Thank you @bumpinthenight started my fall with a bag!! The fortunes of jaded women has been on my the for while and now I have it 😍 #fallswap was a fun success @Avanders @Chrissyreadit
Let me reintroduce my shop - Quills and Teacups.
I have a shop on Etsy - that is where you can get different kind of blind book dates and some K-pop & bookish items.
There is the regular store - www.quillsandteacups.com
And TikTok shop - that store is new but has some cute stuff. Each store has its own goodies. Hit the follow button on instagram. Everything but the blind books ships internationally, except TikTok. Instagram has the links.
Since I am the type of person who doesn't gate-keep cool stuff. Let me put you guys on to Booksprout, you can get free books to review on certain platforms like Amazon and Goodreads. The site is easy to navigate for the most part. They have audiobooks and ebooks.

That is the reader's link.

Buddha will be turning 19 later this month. This old man still gets mini zoomies and loves to cuddle. I can‘t believe he will be 19. Just wanted share a fun little picture of him. He has been my reading buddy for many years. I am thankful for each day I get to have a little longer. Who knew a foster fail 17 years ago, would lead to having the best cuddle bug.
