Finished “Hollywood, Ending” by John Green and I loved it. Worth the wait. Had classic witty banter and exploration of trauma, but also says so much about art and what artists need to give away or trade to make it and how we engage with it. Just excellent. Highly recommended.

What I read for May, easily my biggest Month so far. I won’t be reading as much in June, but I might get back up to these numbers in the future at some point. Mostly physical books with a few audios thrown in. #booksky

My reading wrap-up from March! Some re-reads and some new. This was my first month back into reading in a while, so I wanted to do some re-reads to ease back into it. #booksky

What I read in 2025…. Barely anything. And 20% was my own poetry trilogy I published last year… but still 😅 Trying to get back into posting regular bookish updates again after taking a break for as long as I did. So far I’ve read almost 30 books in 2026, so, more to come! #booksky #readingwrapup

Those moments when, as an author, you have imagined conversations with your own characters as if you are bestie catching up, but knowing full well you’re mining them for another book idea where any happiness they have will be once again in jeopardy. 🤭🤭🤭 Silly characters.

I’ve written maybe my most romantic scene for a book ever that is saved as a draft currently. A love declaration from one character to another. Is it the most romantic scene ever? No. Is it the best love declaration ever? No. But it’s one of the best things I’ve personally ever written.

I just read a five-star book and I feel like it’s been so long since I have. Highly recommend this. It won’t be for everyone. But wow… just wow. This book will stay with me for a VERY long time. Haunting. Fascinating. Depressing. Existential. Hopeful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premise in the comments!

I don't know if you're the same person leaving these or you're all different, but it is SO nice and SO sweet. l often think my poetry is very safe and cliche and simple. I always feel a little invisible in my real life, so this means more than you probably think it does. 🥹🫶🏼🥰

Thank you for saying that. I always hope my writing speaks to other people (even across oceans). That you feel seen and heard and have a voice. But I also like to treat others how I like to be treated. Don't you forget your light either. l can see it from here. 🥹🥹🥹 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
