This book was slow for me but damn! I can see why there is a series. Loved that I got to read this in July. Review coming @TheKidUpstairs great suggestion- thanks for the buddy read. @TheKidUpstairs let‘s get a Sept book book going. I have a weird August and will be ready for a buddy read in Sept! I am getting litsy mail out this week. Had a few hiccups, getting all the mail out this week. Sorry for the delay 🥺

This book has me rolling. I swear the fan girl in me is hollering. I can‘t with this book 😂 glad to@finish July with this book. The humor was nice, in the beginning I wasn‘t sure how this story was going to come along, but the ebb and flow came together.

This was a fun little swap!! Thank you @Kdgordon88 for the amazing package!! I love everything! Bruiser approves, lol #leoseason #transformation #lss #lammassmallswap

Happy Birthday to me 🥰☀️♌️ — can‘t wait to open up my bday letters. Y‘all are the best 😍 Leo Season is here

FYI — overdrive is leaving in 2023! Download Libby if you haven‘t!

Welp I would fully support this. I mean seriously 🥰 do not get me started on how epic this would be. Maybe Marvel Character - Dr.Fate 🥰 this book got fangirling.

Down to the wire!!! Last 2 and I am excited to finish them both!! Boy has this been a fun month of random books. Lol shout to #Libby App for dropping books random books out of my hold cue. Lol i got to read some amazing books so far from short stories, duology, & a book about cosplayers around #sdcc time. 🖤 now let‘s see a what gal has to do to Marry the yummy Keanu Reeves and ice cream and with a hint of murder.

My fan ideas for this book!!! There are so many but these are my top picks. With the Thor reference in this book of course I went with my Chris Hemswprth!! I am more of Loki‘s girl but I will give a pass for this book. I love Nicole Byer — she gives - Kendra energy!! Also had to Add Lizzo & Chris Evans 🥰 I ship this!!

The story of a black plus size cosplayer & her struggle to fight to be on this competition reality show, without falling to racial sound bits resonates with me. I have been in similar situation because “trolls” want to gatekeep fandoms. I don‘t care if a character isn‘t black, they are going to be black when I cosplay. #representationmatter #blerd #cosplayerofcolor #cosplayforeveryone

This little friends to lovers story got me in my feels. I love the backdrop is a cosplay reality contest. There is some many nerdy tidbits that make me smile. #cosplay #cosplayer #poc #friendstolovers #interracial

Lol I am dying right now because I feel like this. #facts #books #undateable #leavehim #badboy

Taco truck and a little reading for dinner lol yes we have taco holders in my house lol 😂 I heart tacos 🌮 #tacos #convention #cosplayer #woc #poc #libby #ereader

Welp before I could get my hands on my two paperbacks — Libby decided I need to read this first. I had this book on hold a while, now it‘s here. This right up my nerdy alley!! How to Marry Keanu Reeves looks like I have a chance lol 😂 I love Keanu 🥰 I need the coloring book in my life and funko pop of John Yummy Wick.

One of my favorite stories - I believe there is series based on these characters. I might have to read it after this little taste of their story. Unless it‘s connected like blackout: the novel - I am not going to read these stories in order. I will say they do get a little dark in some cases. There are not many traditional happy endings.#poc #lgbtq #anthology #shortstories #darkstories #woc #cliffhanger

4 out 5 - interesting anthology. I did not love all the stories but there were a few that I would love to continue reading. The stories range in length, genre, & storytelling. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick story spin. Random short stories over coffee would have been great idea instead a straight read through.

So far this book has some interesting short stories. They vary in theme. I am think this might have been fun as an audiobook to hear the the stories. This book might be a perfect idea for a short story a day or reading with with someone. I recognize a few of authors & meeting new ones is always fun. #poc #adventure #diversity #lgbtq #shortstories

@MoonWitch94 Thanks for the tag!! 1. Deathly Hallows had me in tears of course. I ugly cried. 2. Fantasy is my favorite genre, anything is possible. is nothing like seeing an author build a beautiful world to get lost in. 3. The Gilded Ones series is a great example of world building, myth, and adventure.

Here I am trying to make my 7 book goal for July!!! Woohoo — I think I will do the inside scoop for the last book because it‘s a little slow. A Universe of Wishes is another great #ya anthology- first story has me hooked. Let‘s see where the others take me. #july #bookchallenge #julybday #leo #ya

Don‘t forget to mark your calendars for this epic story!! I love Viola and can‘t wait to see this! 9/16 🖤 #womanking #power #warrior

OMG — these characters are taking me through it right now. Like seriously. This story got me in my feels. Someone should warn folks — the feelings I have is being betrayed, happy, lost, & looking for book 3 or Netflix to pick this up. #magic #wlw #poc #woc #blackgirlmagic #hecate #plantmagic #mythology

Welp another day of reading and letting the world buzz around me. Today is Vanilla Crème soda ? I was able to find a quiet table and read th second book in this series. Nothing like the hum of a convention while reading. One of my favorite purses I own!! I heart ? #poc #woc #lgbtq #magic #plants #odyssey #greekmyth #hecate #heart

I am going to give this 4.5 stars because you have to read a second book. Lol the story was well done & the pieces came together. I could guess some but there were plot twist. Now I have to read the second book because there is so much more to know. This book weaves Greek myths & history together while giving a modern story. Add to your stack but make sure to add both. I am glad I waited till second book launched last month! 😉#woc #magic

I take a book everywhere — lol I got to sit and rest my legs while everyone was buzzing around me. I had the best time. This was a sitting room for convention attendees. I enjoyed butter beer & reading. Can‘t read about magic without my wand.#Potterheads can you guess whose wand this is? #magic #fandays #readanywhere #poc #woc #magic

Saw this online and thought this was amazing look at the main characters from this book. I can‘t believe how twisty this book is the secrets that come about. If you like chills, suspense, magic, this is the book. I will shout out one of my favorite characters of this Book “Lou” - he was in for a short time & stole the show in his pages. I would read a series on him and his family 🔥#kitchenwitch #herbs #magic #mystery #woc

Welp this book has me by the throat!! I can‘t get away from the story. Unlike the previous book by this author of a reimagined fairy tale, this book is based off a story of a disciple of Hecate and how myth and truth are woven together to tell the stories of a time before internet. This magical story with real life reference and even more practical responses to magic is amazing. #poc #woc #magical #ny #plants #wlw #lgbtq #hecate #greece #legacy

To all my July Bdays!! Happy Birthday to all the Cancer/Leo Bdays!!! This is our month to celebrate!! Celebrate your yourself all month long!! #leo #cancer #july

This book - 3.75/5 -This book gave NY vibes from start to finish. The different couples featured gave real love, loss, and renewed love. I wanted more from some of the couples but I really enjoyed this peek into a nyc summer black out & young love. Check out these amazing authors because this little taste will have you read their work. #blackjoy #lgbtq #love #woc #poc #nyc #ebook #libby

This is a fun weaving of different authors telling one over all story. I think this is a nice weekend read. I enjoyed how all the stories over lapped each other, but I will say there was a couple I really wanted more from. I have read books from each of the other authors and could see their individual story telling in the grand idea of the a Black Out in New York and various people trying to get to a block party in BedStuy. #poc #love #selflove

Happy Monday aka 4th of July. There was a major shooting (highland park, sniper has been caught) not far from me, everyone is safe because we are all at home. I did have a couple of friends out that way and they are safe. These last few days I have been recovering and sleeping due to strong pain meds. I hope this upcoming week, I will be able to move better. Thank you for the love & support. Happy Reading

Welp I am kind of reading this but today is my procedure. Wish me luck. I think I am more nervous than anything. 4 weeks recovery. My procedure was rescheduled to today. I am done with this week. I will be sleeping and resting. I am catching up on litsy mail this weekend since I am down for 48 hours. I am excited for post procedure tacos. 🖤 miss you guys and will be back to posting and writing. ETA or this is my last procedure.

Happy Juneteenth!!!! #freedomday #jubilee #texas

Buddha just wanted to send some love to @CaliforniaCay 🖤 thank you for being amazing

This book is 8.5/10 — I would have liked more battles, throuple could have been flushed out better, book was left on a cliffhanger, and little more detailed world building. I would recommend this book. Great long weekend read. I really enjoyed this book. #libby #aapi #lgbtq #poc #woc #china #ironprincess

I was at a car show and brought my book. I sat down and read while people walked around. Weather was nice but this pic reminds me of this book. I will say this is a page turner. There are very few slow parts. Gets to the point and the action. #woc #battleready #pilot #poc #aapi #boundfeet

I started this book — Umm we started off rough 🥺 this book will not be easy #poc #woc #boundfeet #fight #figtlikeagirl

Happy Loving Day #lovingday #interracial #landmark #supremecourt #Virginia

What are you guys reading? Anything I need to@add to my TBR? Summer faves?

One of my go to drinks from Starbucks. I am a little behind on litsy letters but now I should be caught up by the weekend. I have to admit, I feel like a weight has come off of me and I can take the time let my body/soul heal. You guys are about to be sick of me. Reading starts back up on Monday. 🖤

Happy June - Happy Pride - Happy Juneteenth — a little update from me — I had a setback from my recovery so, I quit my job and spending time healing like I am suppose too. I have been struggling with being on top of everything but realize, I need heal from this crazy traumatic experience. So more reading, streaming, creating art. I am blessed with a supportive family and you guys have kept me smiling when I wanted to scream. Thank you all ❤️

Random moment of guiltily pleasure and joy. I got a Mexican pizza!! Yes I know — I know but I couldn‘t resist. Mexican pizzas got me thru a lot of break ups, late night dancing, stress eating, and pregnancy. Shout out to bringing it back and needing heartburn meds lol #nostalgia #tacobell #badfood #memories

Got to see my nephews (Zorro pictured above 1 of 2) before my procedure. While waiting to go under I am listening to this book. It is not starting as expected. I hope I don‘t dream of the crusades, lol. Maybe I will listen tonight while drifting in and out of recovery and rest

Quicker to download the audiobook — can‘t wait to dive into this remix. I have to admit — there are my two favorite versions of Robin Hood. I am not sure if I will get the same chuckles but I do love the retelling of this story. #robinhood #classic #disney #humor

Someone asked me@to describe the genre or type of book this is — for some people it would be a horror and others a thriller. If I had to like towards something 🤔 get out meets gossip girl mixed in with pretty little liars dash of mean girls

This book has me by a whole choke hold. Shout to the character Terrell!! He is the only one that sees what‘s going on. This book is frightening how honest real situations of many POC experience in school. #thriller #poc #woc #mystery #ya

What in the heck am I reading? This book is crazy and slightly terrifying. #horror #thriller #ya #survival
