Okay…I’m reading a bad book. I know it’s a bad book. I know it. It’s immature, poorly punctuated, and sloppy! But it’s, like, soooo sloppy? Messy.☺️☠️ It’s reminding me of horrible-fun fanfic? I should stop…. 🌶️📚💙

Yeesh. How many DNFs equal a book slump? 😅 *Is sad.* Any non-toxic KU recs? Or is it time for some monster smut? (A kinky ogre novella is the cure for a book slump, pretty sure. But, like, you can’t live on ogre smut alone!) 🌶️📚💙 #romancelandia

Contender 2: Faking With Benefits, by Lily Gold. (I read another of hers and found the plot nonsensical and the arcs Diet Sprite adjacent, but I have high hopes of the Diet Sprite going down real nice. 🤞 My tum tum hurts. Let’s just get something down! 🤣🤣🤣 …I think I’m funny.) 🌶️📚💙

On today’s quest for a superb omega verse, we have “Clouds and Daydreams.” The summary makes me fear bleakness—reality being bleak enough, imo—but I do like psychological nuance, so it’s today’s first contender. (I did gag at her 4’11” height, tho. Short? Fine. But 🧐🤔🤷‍♀️. U know?) We’ll see! 🌶️📚💙

Starting a new omega verse that’s reported to be filthy—promises, promises—but one trigger warning has me squinty. Fisting? Degradation? Free use sex? …meh. Probably fine. But pregnancy in the epilogue? …yucky! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll try, but that’s one strike going in, so…good luck! 🌶️📚💙

Why choose has me so spoiled. I’m like, “What do you mean it’s 350 pages? Is there a part two? Is that even a book, though?” 🤣 Every omega verse is like the Moby Dicks of love stories. 🌶️📚💙 #whychoose #omegaverse #spicyromance

Welcome #booktok refugees. …fuck. Am I right? 🤷‍♀️😢 And now we make new friends! If you love #romantasy or #whychoose with kink and filthy awesome character arcs, let’s swap recs and friendly fangirling as (the world burns) we continue to experience history. Lucky us! 🌶️📚💙 #romantasy #smut

Artistic philosophy? 📚💙

Hey, book people. 🌶️📚💙 Anyone ever get into theme and character-arc forward series plotting? It’s surreal. It’s cyclical. 🌀Like, you have iterations of the same thought, again and again, as you gather new context and structure from adjacent puzzles. It’s meta af. Total surrender to change and growth.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love, love, love this book. It stays pleasantly “cozy” despite some deeply vulnerable and raw themes. I cried a ton. Like, so much, actually. It was so sweet and meaningful. Also, exceedingly spicy/kinky. Some bratting and primal dynamics, et al. A new favorite.
