💜 Happy release day, Autumn Reed! 💜⁣ ⁣ S 💜 Happy release day, Autumn Reed! 💜⁣ ⁣ Spineless is an amazing reimagined/inspired by Wizard of Oz story that I had the utmost pleasure of ARC reading. If you'd like to read my review, check it out at https://alatedbibliophile.com/review-spineless-autumn-reed 😍⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ✨BLURB✨⁣ Eight years ago, I believed I’d finally found a place to call home. My mother’s marriage to Vincent Sharpe meant security and three stepbrothers who were already my best friends.⁣  ⁣ But Mom’s mysterious death one week before the wedding turned my world upside down. The day of her funeral, I was whisked away to live with my aunt in Kansas, and I never heard from the Sharpes again...⁣  ⁣ Until a devastating tornado leaves me destitute.⁣  ⁣ Now, Vincent is offering me the opportunity of a lifetime—he’ll pay for my tuition and expenses at an exclusive university. All I have to do is move back in with him and his sons.⁣  ⁣ Knowing this is my one chance to discover what really happened to my mother, I grudgingly accept. But if I thought living in the same house with a potential murderer was going to be my biggest obstacle, I couldn’t have been more wrong.⁣  ⁣ Leo, Hayle, and Tristin Sharpe are no longer the boys I remember. They're all grown up, with the adult attitudes, tensions, and sex appeal to prove it. They aren’t my problem anymore. Yet, somehow, they keep drawing me into their web of drama.⁣  ⁣ I might be the only person who can fix what’s broken between them. But I don't trust that they won't shatter me in the process.⁣  ⁣ *The Lonely Souls trilogy is a contemporary reverse harem series inspired by the main characters in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...except, this version of Dorothy and her friends is a little twisted.
✨📚Hey, book friends!📚✨⁣ ⁣ I know it' ✨📚Hey, book friends!📚✨⁣ ⁣ I know it's been a while since I posted last. To kind of update everyone, my mental health hasn't been great at all. I know I've touched on it briefly in previous posts, but this time the depression and anxiety was so high, I backed out of social media altogether. It wasn't exactly intentional, but I can't help but think my mind subconsciously knew I needed a break. I also realized that while I can be super understanding and empathetic for others, I have an extremely difficult time being kind to myself. 😣 So, that's something I'm learning how to do. It's slow going, but I'm learning. ❤️⁣ ⁣ If you'd like to understand a little more where my headspace has been, please feel free to read my post "Quarantine, Anxiety, and Me" on https://alatedbibliophile.com 🖱️⁣ ⁣ In any event, I'm [tentatively] back! I'm severely behind on reviews and graphics, so I'm going to try to be slowly catching up and just getting back in the groove. Please be patient with me! I miss this wonderful community, so I'll be doing my best to get more involved in the coming weeks. 📚💕⁣ ⁣ To those of you who've kept following me, I humbly thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support and patience. 🙏🏻 To those who've recently started following, welcome!

Are you a big fan, don't care for it, or somewhere in between?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I just finished reading Be Your Mistake by Sariah Skye, an M/M romance between a huge rock star and a tattoo artist.

✨ Happy Valentine's Day! What are some things th ✨ Happy Valentine's Day! What are some things that you love or bring love to your life?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I'm doing something a little different this year and I made a graphic representing some of the things I love (going clockwise starting at the top left: coffee, video games, writing, my faith, books, TV, my marriage, music). Comment below with what you love and see if we have anything in common!⁣ ⁣ -- --⁣ I know I've been horribly MIA, guys, and I'm so sorry. Last year was a huge blow to my mental health and while I'm probably about 80% better now than I had been, obviously dealing with anxiety and depression is a chronic thing and I still have my ups and downs. Add on to that that I got sick around Christmas and am JUST NOW starting to get over it, I'm a little behind where I was hoping I would be.⁣ ⁣ So, just know, I'm still around, but basically, I'm trying to get my sh!t together, lol. If you've sent me a message and I haven't responded, that's partly due to everything going on and partly because apparently I am just not receiving notifications from IG or FB anymore. If you need to get ahold of me, please feel free to email me at alatedbibliophile[at]Gmail[dot]com. I check it every day (unless something comes up) and you're more likely to get a response from me there.⁣ ⁣ Okay, enough from me here :) I hope to get back in the swing of things soon! Thank you for following me and if you made it to the end of this post, you're the real MVP (does anyone say that anymore?)

Others have to be—it’s the only way.⁣ ⁣ Since moving back to my hometown of Hastings, Texas, I’ve been called a whore, tramp, and homewrecker. And maybe I’m all of those things and more.⁣ ⁣ But those people don’t know me. They don’t see me. They only see my mistakes.⁣ ⁣ My little brother is my entire world, and if I can give him what I never had—love and security—then returning to the town that hates me will be worth it.⁣ ⁣ I’m prepared for the whispers and stares, but the moment a knight in a black truck crosses my path, it’s clear that I’m not ready for kindness. As he, my brother’s sexy teacher, and the town’s golden boy work to break down my walls by standing between me and the hate, I find myself beginning to hope again.⁣ ⁣ Maybe redemption is within reach...if I share my story.
