Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

COFFIN MOON 🤝🏾 NETTLE & BONE when Maeve’s bandmates are murdered, she realizes that embracing the one thing she loathes—her erratic witch/vampire hybridity—might be the only way to seek revenge on the deranged witch that killed her loved ones. Or she’ll be next 🩸 #DVpit #CF #f #a #poc #BVM #WOC

Maeve’s a hybrid—diminishing witch trapped in a vamp body. To save her magic, she seeks a cure. but she’s not the only one on the hunt! someone’s after her—if she fights back, she’ll lose her cure/magic, & if she loses, she & her loved ones will be diminished. #DVpit #CF #f #a #own #poc #BVM #WOC

AITA for not telling my (128F) vamp bandmates that my hybridity’s erratic & letting my vampirism suppress my witch side? (turn full vamp? no thx) & WIBTA if i keep seeking a vamp cure after learning i'm being stalked? TIA THE WITCHES OF BONE HILL X NETTLE & BONE #DVpit #CF #f #a #poc #BVM #WOC

finally rounding up the agents i’ve saved across here & twitter into my query notion doc. not sure how many i plan to query, not all are open at the moment also.
