Been reading Forever My Girl by Heidi McLauchlin but giving up and deleting it because the MMC can't have a single thought about a woman that isn't misogynistic as hell. They all want him, they're all trying too hard, they all make him sick. He makes me sick.

I know a lot of other generations filled with folks who don't identify as readers! It's an activity that we fall in love with and continue or not. #AmReading
Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!

I can attest that if one becomes addicted to #kdrama it slightly reduces the yearning for all of the books! Excited to be heading off on a 4-week #camping#roadtrip though. I suspect I'll get through some nice long #audiobooks as well as some print and ebooks. My k-drama watching will definitely be less. #AmReading
I love books! I have a #wishlist The proceeds go toward supporting indie #book sellers.
I probably don't have a right to ask for anything more this month, given how kind everyone has been in keeping me housed. Just gonna put this here anyway. 🥹
#WhatchaReading ? I #AmReading The Breakup Lists by Adib Khorram (YA, theater kid, narrator is deaf) and have reached the part where I know exactly what is going to happen to screw up the romance and the anticipation is so painful I can barely read on.
Somewhat meh set of April reads, though The Night Tiger and The Hunter were definitely high points. Some fun romances by Alexis Hall and Cat Sebastian too.
This is turning out to be a book I'm not terribly excited about: The Dog Of The South by Charles Portis. The tone sort of reminds me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but set in Texas and Mexico and without the hardcore drugs. Parts are funny, but mostly it kind of drags and I'm not sure what the point is. If I wasn't already more than halfway through, I'd probably add it to the DNF pile. #FridayReads#AmReading#Books#Fiction#Bookstodon@bookstodon
A rare case where the sequel is better than the first book! I found the romance in this one more compelling, and the characters a little better-drawn and realistic. The ergodic elements continued to be interesting and well-integrated with the visual design. Several plot twists made me gasp aloud. I'm now impatiently waiting on my library hold for the final book in the trilogy to come through!
