30-something, gay🏳️‍🌈, DC. Huge fan of Survivor, the Real Housewives/Bravo, Star Trek, video games (Genshin, Zelda, the list goes on). Otherwise I can be found reading on my Kindle - send me book recs please!

Just finished Japanese Gothic as my 10th and final book read in July! Most productive reading month since moving to the new house 📚💙

Just DNF'd my fifth book of 2026 which feels really high for me (usually I DNF a book or two a year). Not sure if I'm just choosing worse books or if my book standards have risen 📚💙

I'm having a weird time with reading The Book of Luke - I can't help but think if this was playing out in real life, I would not be on Luke's side (given what I know so far at the 25% mark) 💙📚 but also really enjoying the unREAL-like depiction of reality TV production

Got downgraded from a full orthopedic boot to an ankle brace yesterday so I decided to get back into CrossFit (scaling every single movement, of course) - working out is really hard when you haven't done anything for a month!! and I'm doing like 20% of the prescribed movements!

Why does Fable tell me “we think you might like this book” and then show me a book that it knows I’ve already read? 📚💙

I just started reading The Strength of the Few and I've got so many questions... I am completely shocked that anyone could come up with this type of setting, and curious how it all fits back together

Finished The Prison Healer! Super fun read, although it seemed like a lot of similarities with Throne of Glass. My biggest (and only) disappointment was that it could have easily been a queer love story with the FMC, but it turned hetero pretty abruptly. At 92/104 books for the year!🪐📚💙

I'm halfway through The Prison Healer and I really and truly hope the main character falls in love with her female prison guard and not her fellow male prisoner (although I'm worried there's going to be a twist that the guard is actually her long-lost sister or something)

I'm reading that book about the facebook people and it's just such an infuriating read - I don't even want to root for the author, everyone is just a total dick 📚💙

I just went through which books I read in 2025 and it was a crazy reminder that 11 months ago I had never read a word of the Cosmere and now I’m fully versed in it 😱 💙📚🪐

I need to start writing and burning letters to folks who I feel wronged by because ever since we lost Twitter Circles I've felt my outlets for expression have been limited

I just finished One Dark Window… this can’t be the same book everyone’s raving about - it was basically Cardcaptor Sakura meets HuoHuo in Honkai Star Rail plus cheesy rhymes in every other line of dialogue ⭐️ ⭐️/5 📚💙

Tragedy strikes - I finished my book with more than an hour to go on this flight and I don’t have any new Libby books downloaded to my kindle! 📚💙

I just got the first Wheel of Time book from Libby but first I have to slog through The Tenant (a book that’s making me avoid all future works by this author)
