She is on the left with a white cloth on her eyes so she can't see and he is holding a mask in his hands. The cover is full of beautiful color with reads, oranges, yellows and browns.

The madness is a game between gods and kings.
But it is not the gods and kings who are mad.
So, we play their games.

Reading Review - 4 stars Dating Jessica Brown by T. Ashley - Black FMC - Mid 30s - Romance - Cats - Magic - Supportive Friends

I forgot to post this when I finished it.

I went into it knowing nothing and enjoyed this cute story about Jessica and the journey she takes once a cat follows her home.

If you are looking for an FMC who is bisexual, this may be for you!

I truly love a duology. I don't have to wait for tons of books to get released, I get the full story typically in a shorter period of time and it's jam packed with a great story!

Here's some recommendations if you are looking for one.

Blood Moon by Britney S. Lewis

📖Blood Moon by Britney S. Lewis

This was such a good read! It's an enjoyable slow pace slice of life while Mira starts to put the pieces together after a random student tells her she needs to leave campus because she's not safe.

Currently Reading: Blood Moon by Britney S. Lewis

So far I'm really enjoying this. It isn't a fast paced book if you prefer that, the beginning is giving me slice of life with Mira joining college and her experience there.

2 Book cases side by side with wood shelves but metal hardware with no backing or sides. Top row of both shelves is decor and all the remaining ones have books ranging from tideborn > legendborn > ami > dragonfruit > lore of the wilds > and more.

Reorganization of the office bookshelves has been completed. I like how it came out. I tried to put everything in alphabetical order.

Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)

There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

2 bookcases with no backing that had a variety of books and have plants on the shelves

Cleaned the bookcase! I also got some new plants for it 🥰

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are".

I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

I'm on the market for a new Body Oil, what's some of your favorites?

I'd like one that is in a spray, if it has a vanilla comfy scent even better but not required.
