I’ve been seeing lots of book events recently on the Gram and my question to everyone is WHERE ARE ALL THE MALE BOOKSTAGRAMMERS/READERS??

January Reading Wrap Up over on the Gram. It was a good month with 10 and three-quarter books read 😉 www.instagram.com/p/DFh4-H7Mj2...

Seriously thinking of revamping my reviews. Why use ten paragraphs when just a blurb and ten words will suffice? “It was good and I recommend you read it too.” Put some effort in guys. Rant over. Happy hump day.

Catch my review of ‘At Dark, I Become Loathsome’ by @ericlarocca.bsky.social as part of @titanbooks.bsky.social blog tour. Only on the Gram. www.instagram.com/reel/DFZnzCx...
