Hook, line and sinker. Mthrfkrs I love this 😭🍻

Re my last post. On that list was a beautiful novella by @acwise.bsky.social "Grackle" that I was so lucky to read in 2024. Grackle was mysterious, unsettling, strange/weird , scary and so fucking gay. I had to have a glass of water after a certain scene. It's also a beautiful piece of art. πŸ˜πŸ–€

Spent my monthly book budget until August on preorders (no regrets), so my year is now a countdown until I can get book 2 in The War Eternal series

TGK is on Netgalley!

No review today, so probably not the best day to remind people that I'm open to review requests for the reminder of 2025. I might take some days to answer, but if you have a release during 2025 and want Jamreads to cover it, don't hesitate to contact me.
