Hello Friends,
I have been screaming busy at work and will be for the next two weeks, but after that I expect a bit of a reprieve! (read: I will get better at posting more regularly!)

IN OTHER NEWS
- All of my Pango books are 50% off until Tuesday morning. Pango Books Link
- I'm going to be focusing on growing my Youtube! I'm most posting SHORTS there right now, but I have a plan to be consistent with long form as soon as my schedule relaxes a bit. LET ME KNOW: What kind of long form content would you like to watch from me! Follow me here: Youtube Channel
- I'm going to Shelves and the City! I haven't seen many people talk about this publicly, but we are talking about it privately! I filled out my travel form. I booked my extra hotel nights (You know I can't just spend ONE WEEKEND in NYC!) I've got my Gluten Free NYC playlist on Instagram. And I just found out there is a TAROT exhibit at the Morgan Library. First of all I love the Morgan Library. Second, if you didn't know. I'm tarot obsessed and have over 20 decks. I'm sure I will be coming home with more. Should I do a post with my Tarot Books (again?) because I have books, too!
- I have gotten so MUCH book mail! It's too hard to update when I slack on posting, so I am just going to add all of the books I've received recently to this post and promise I'll be better about updating regularly. See any that stand out?
- We've been doing a readathon all weekend in the Discord? Have you joined our reader community on Discord (hot tip: If you've left because of the tagging, you can turn that feature off and come back haha)
I just finished up:
Die for Me by Shirlene Obuobi and am currently reading Headlights by CJ Leede

Carnalis by Tiffany Morris
You know I was obsessed with Tiffany's Indigenous sapphic swamp horror novella Green Fuse Burning, so I cannot wait to dive into Carnalis!
Wealthy party girl Lauren hungers for human flesh. Her girlfriend Alex, a recently injured dancer, is trapped in Lauren's toxic and deadly spiral. The looming threat of capture may prove to be less dangerous than Lauren herself and the lengths she will go to satiate her needs. Will Alex be next on the menu?
Rich bitches? Cannibalism? My favorite!
The Curse of Hester Gardens by Tamika Thompson
We Need to Talk about Kevin as if written by Jason Reynolds and Tananarive Due meets Model Home by Rivers Solomon in an innovative twist on the haunted house novel: about a mother desperate to protect her sons from the twin specters of gun violence and otherworldly menace in their public housing project.
Haunted house horror in the projects? Are you kidding me right now?
Indigent by Briana Cox
Live-in handyman Xavier seems to be the only one who notices. Or cares. After a chance encounter with the culprit leaves him infected with something horrifying, Xavier is thrust into a surreal nightmare of starvation and consumption all too familiar to his gentrifying Atlanta neighborhood.
Succumbing to his infection, Xavier is drawn into the cobbled-together family squatting in Leigh Pierce's basement. People who, through a myriad of doomed roads, fell into the same self-destructive cycle of indigency, harboring dark secrets... and darker appetites. Trapped in a dynamic of codependency and complicity, Xavier and his family- new and old- are forced to confront the cost of survival in a world that has disregarded them.
A horror that goes after healthcare? Yeah. Sign me up right now.
Aviary by Maria Dong
A young woman undertakes a terrifying journey—and a terrifying transformation—in this genre-blending speculative suspense novel set in South Korea and the US which mixes fantasy, gothic vibes and queer longing, with a shot of feminist body horror.
This is a horror about violence, power, exploitation and transformation. NEED.
The Sea Hides Its Dead by Megan Bontrager
Trapped in an underwater cave, a group of academics must face a series of deadly, supernatural trials—each one demanding they confront their darkest sins—in this chilling aquatic cult horror debut
Academics studying a sea cult? Trials underwater in a cave to survive? Inject it into my veins. This is crazy.
As a reminder, any book purchased through my bookshop this month, benefits Black Walnut Books, an Indigenous, Woman and Queer owned bookstore. Check these books out below!
