Luca Vitiello (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #0)

Cora Reilly

I was born a monster. Cruelty ran in my veins like poison. It ran in the veins of every Vitiello man, passed on from father to son, an endless spiral of monstrosity. A born monster shaped into an even worse monster by my father’s blade and fists and harsh words. I was raised to become Capo, to rule without mercy, to dish out brutality without a second thought. Raised to break others. When Aria was given to me in marriage, everyone waited with baited breath to see how fast I’d break her like my father broke his women. How I’d crush her innocence and kindness with the force of my cruelty. Breaking her would have taken little effort. It came naturally to me. I was gladly the monster everyone feared. Until her. Author's note: Bound By Honor in Luca's POV.

LINCOLN CARTER.

What a walking green forest you are 😍😍😍

I enjoyed dual pov, the charachters and their progress were amazing. Lincoln Carter definitely going to live in my head rent free for a while 😮‍💨

Josie pissed me off so bad through halfway of the book. I was this close diving into book itself and knock some sense into her.

But i could say Lincoln really carried the book. He is so forgiving, so gentleman 😭🥵

If there is anyone i am more annoyed than Josie was that little fatphobic Ellis. I HATE HIM. GO SHOVE THAT ECAUDOR COFFEE WHERE SUN DONT SHINE.

This is a great, easy-going and lighthearted cowboy romance, perfect for summer! 🤍🥂

You wont regret picking this up, Amber Palmer did a really great job! Cant wait to read rest of the series 🙂‍↔️

Between the Pines (Black Springs Ranch, #1)

Amber Palmer

Josie Hayes is always on the run. From bad decisions. From heartbreak. From cowboys. Her latest escape was supposed to be a quiet reset at her family’s cabin in Tennessee—not a reckless detour at a smoky backwoods bar, and definitely not a collision with Lincoln Carter. Rugged and magnetic, he’s temptation in a cowboy hat, and his slow smile makes forgetting her rules far too easy. Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. What starts with teasing glances and lingering touches spiral into a series of nights that feel like more—too much more. By the end of the week, Josie does what she does best: she bolts, leaving behind only her name and the memory of a man she can’t shake. A year later, Josie’s done running. With a steady job, a new boyfriend, and her life finally on track, she’s ready to prove she’s not the same girl she used to be. Except her father’s prestigious summer horse training program just brought a ghost from her past straight to her front door. Lincoln isn’t the forgiving type, and now that he’s on the ranch, he’s determined to show Josie exactly what she left behind—and what they could have had if she’d stayed. As old wounds reopen and sparks reignite, Josie must decide: keep running from her past or take a chance on the cowboy who just might be worth staying for.

Available Libby Cards

I have been on the hunt for more cards to access via Libby and thought I would share what I know and see if anyone else have found any.

🔗queer liberation library has free accounts and has a good selection of Queer book and 5 loans available per card.

🔗reciprocard.com allows you to see what other libraries are available to you with the library card you already have. As I live in CA there are a lot of counties that as long as you show up in person with ID you can get additional county cards.

What have you found?

Confessions by Kanae Minato is the ultimate "Supporting Women’s Wrongs" book 🤫🥛

Hey everyone! 🤍🔪

I just wanted to drop a quick recommendation for the Supporting Women’s Wrongs badge because Confessions by Kanae Minato fits this vibe perfectly.

The main character, Yuko, goes absolutely insane to get revenge on the students who murdered her 4-year-old daughter. Instead of going to the police like she should have, she takes matters into her own hands and literally infects their school milk boxes with HIV-positive blood. It is completely mind-blowing, illegal, and terrifying but because she is doing it for her child, you just sit there rooting for her anyway 🥂 . It is the absolute definition of "I support her chaotic, illegal choices."

If you need a dark psychological thriller to unlock this badge, you seriously need to log this one in your TBR list.

I would love to see Confessions by Kanae Minato counted for this badge!

Has anyone else read it? 🔪🤍

Feral and Hysterical: Mother Horror’s Ultimate Reading Guide to Dark and Disturbing Fiction by Women

Sadie Hartmann

Move over Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Lovecraft—it’s time to let the Scream Queens howl. In Sadie Hartmann’s follow-up book to the Bram Stoker Award-winner 101 Horror Books to Read Before You’re Murdered, horror fans will be delighted to discover a whole new list of horror recommendations—all by women writers. Taking a cue from the popular practice of mood reading, the most common requests she gets on social media, and the overwhelming positive reaction to the icons included in her first book, Sadie has carefully curated and organized her 200+ recommendations into reading lists based on, well, vibes. Are you in your “Gothic Era?” Sadie has a list for that. Going on vacation and need some good dark beach reads? There’s a list for that. Just finished Mexican Gothic and need more “Sporror in your life?” You guessed it, there’s a list for that too! Each book on every list will include its title, author(s), date of publication, publisher, page count, theme, a spoiler-free description alongside Sadie’s recommendation. Featuring five brand-new essays from popular and rising voices in the genre—Alma Katsu, Alexis Henderson, Christina Henry, Rae Knowles, and Laura Purcell, this illustrated reader’s guide is perfect for anyone looking to get out of a reading slump or diversify their TBR pile.
