#booksky, thank you to my man for helping me set this up! Now I have more room for books! 😁

I ventured out today #booksky and started a new book. (I know I have a problem!). This one I’ve been dying to read. It seemed fitting to start it during a silent book club. I had the best time, chilling out and making friends. I’ll keep you updated too on what happens.

I may or may not be a dark romance girlie #booksky. I’m continuing to read Lights Out as much as possible, and anytime I finish a chapter, I feel the need to cleanse. Maybe that means I’ll finish the book but not the series. 😬

#booksky, that also means I’ve made my reading goal for the year! Woohoo! 24 books read/or listened to by November. Now I can read whatever I want. This will be a thread of the best of the best.

And that’s a wrap on The Sixth Faction #booksky! I was a powerhouse yesterday reading. At some point I couldn’t put the book down. I ended up giving it 5⭐️s. The truth is, my expectations for this book were very low. I grew up on the original trilogy and loved it for all its perks and flaws. (1/2)

I will be honest #booksky, “The Sixth Faction” is very easy to read. The chapters vary in length but most are short. I’m now 81% of the way through, thinking I’ll either finish it today or this week. Then I’ll have met my reading goal for the year!

I meant to say thank you to everyone who followed my #inktober prompts this year. I didn’t get them all, but that’s okay. I got the practice in and that matters most to me. I’ll see you again next year!

I think I’m going to finish the Iron Tangle today #booksky. If not today then this weekend. The truth is I don’t know how many stars to give book 3 in the #DungeonCrawlerCarl series. I was engaged, yet it felt like it dragged too slow at times. What did you rate it?

#booksky, now I’m not a person who likes to spoil things. Let’s just say The Sixth Faction just made me react like this:

Man Reacts with Huh

Okay, I couldn’t resist this book. I started “The Sixth Faction,” since I’m almost done with the iron tangle. Already I’m loving it, #booksky. This Beatrice seems…different. It’s been a while since I’ve read the Divergent series, but I can already see the changes made.

#booksky I’m always showing you what I’m reading. This is my TBR at the moment. I think it’s just going to get taller. “The Sixth Faction” is next after I get through the Iron Tangle. What do you want me to read after that? 🤔

ACOWAR is done #booksky! 5⭐️, and my favorite book in the series thus far. I loved seeing how Feyre grew as High Lady, as a war began to take shape around her. There were tears at times too. I won’t start ACOFAS just yet. I still need to get through the Iron Tangle and any surprises in “Lights Out.”

🐏 “The thing is, Apollo didn’t know what ‘no’ meant. He rarely heard it.”🐏 As you can see, I’m seeing how many #Inktober prompts I can do in a day. I don’t mind being behind. This is writing practice for me after all. I hope you enjoy! #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1665091360?u...

🦨”Today, we are testing the limits of a female skunk. These black and white creatures don't like humans.”🦨 I tested my narration skills on a very stinky creature. Enjoy! #booksky #writingcommunity #Inktober www.wattpad.com/1665086895?u...

#booksky, I am 75% of the way through ACOWAR, so I’ll probably power through it this week to finish it. This has to be my favorite ACOTAR book (so far!). There’s a healthy mix of story and spice for me to enjoy it. ACOMAF is a close second.

😥”My lungs feel so tight/ That I know my breath is rattling.”😥 Day 7 of #Inktober was a bit tricky. How do you capture “panic” in short fiction? I decided to try a poem this time. #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1663270091?u...

🖊️”Before he said anything, he took a long, wet sniff.”🖊️ This one is probably the shortest I’ve written for #Inktober. The only reason why I’m publishing it is because I got my intent across. I love it when that happens! #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1663265420?u...

Okay, #booksky, I did start this book finally. I’m almost halfway through the Iron Tangle. I know Dinniman said don’t try to figure out the train system, but I keep trying to figure out the train system. 😂

🍕“The flour felt like dust or crumbs, a coating you can't quite escape.”🍕 Some of these #Inktober prompts are hard. Some are abstract, like smack, to the point you have to figure out how to write it out. This one kind of came naturally. #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1662976599?u...

🌵 “I didn't realize I could hold a star in my hand.”🌵 It took me a while to get the right words down. This one is a shorter response, but very educational. I’ll be catching up on #Inktober today, so you may see more posts from me! #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1662970712?u...

🍬“Ron had the bowl of candy in his lap. Occasionally, Jared snatched up a Sour Patch Kids packet.”🍬 Give this one a chance. I had a crazy idea that came up when thinking about how to capture “miniature.” #Inktober #booksky #writingcommunity www.wattpad.com/1661687471?u...

🌤️“Hundreds of years later, the cloth kept this man's image intact.”🌤️ Here’s my take on day two of #Inktober. Had to do a little bit of research on this one. I probably will need to for day 3 as well. #booksky #writingcommunity. www.wattpad.com/1661538335?u...

🍎“She had to bite into it. One bite, and all of her dreams would come true, the old hag said.”🍎 Here’s my first entry for #Inktober. I’m still working out how many I want to share. The goal is to practice craft first, share second. Thank you for giving me a chance! www.wattpad.com/1661356688?u...

Oh, also #booksky, I’m reading this while I keep trekking through ACOWAR. I’m already 30% through and this is my reaction most of the time: 🫪🫣🫢🤭. Any advice?

There’s something I want to try this month. #booksky #writingcommunity I enjoy watching artists participate in Inktober, where they illustrate something based off of one word each day. This year, I want to join them as a writer. Technically, I work with ink. Would anyone like to try it with me?

I’ll descend to the 4th floor soon, #booksky, but first, the chaos. I’m so excited to be reading book 3. ACOMAF destroyed me. I can tell you, Feyre in part 1 is not talked about enough. She had me clutching my pearls, with a smile. Never underestimate our High Lady of the Night Court!

Trust me, #booksky, I am enjoying this book. I think it’s taking me a while to finish because Carl and Donut get sidetracked on their second quest. I finally got to the biggest boom. 5 more chapters to go, and then the bonus story!

I post about what I’m reading. I like to write, too. Most of my projects are on pause because I’m experiencing perfectionism, so what’s the cure? Play. Yesterday I played with this concept: what if there’s a world where no one liked to be grounded? Everyone floats but one person. Would you read it?

Wow. Just wow #booksky. I finished this while dog sitting. The ending was not what I expected, but June was diving down the path of no redemption. Thanks to Kuang for writing a story like this. It gave me a glimpse at what publishing can be like, too. Dungeon crawling, here I come!

I haven’t posted in a week to #booksky because I’ve been reading. I’m almost done with “Yellowface.” This is the 3rd book I’ve read by R.F. Kuang. I love her style and concepts so much. I’m at the point where I want to know how it ends. Does Junie change or stay the same? No spoilers please!
