somebody do some fan art of Sincere, Lorenzo, Romeo & Goldyn please. I'm tryna see sum 👀

me, a glass or two of wine + this story have a date tonight 💆🏽‍♀️

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, YESSS IT’S LIT

the action, magic & banter, yeaaaaaa this is so goooood!

hold up na… miss ghost gurl Clara is tripping…

even though Ophie is 12, this doesn't feel like juvenile fiction to me, more like YA. 1920s Pittsburgh, ghosts, a murder mystery... yea, I'm really, really enjoying this! Bahni Turpin's narration always eats.

the faerie Toot Toot lolol omg

not the daddy explaining coons to Ophie as “double talk folk” 💀 sjaksjwklflenaja, I’m weak. love that for black juvenile fiction

once Ophie’s daddy was murdered in an act of racial violence, she began seeing ghosts. she then relocates to Pittsburgh w/ her mom to live w/ family in a crowded house… that fuckin sucks, but life is going on…

Ophie then has to quit school to work at an old manor for an old racist lady & her 3 girl cousins that she lives with are mean & bad as hell… yea, the pressure is getting worsa… crash out loading

Dresden is a lil sassy lol. liking this so far

another Justina Ireland book, but make it JF. let’s get ittt

“Katherine,” I say, drawing my swords “Turn back.” “No,” she says, not yet seeing the dead around us. “You want to march into the mouth of hell, then I will accompany you all the way to Satan’s throne.”

KATHERINE IS SO REAL 😩 + Jane, yea… unstoppable duo !!

“I will not abandon Jane again. I am not nearly as afraid of dying as I am on grieving for her once more.” 🥹🥹🥹 Katherine! now you’re ripping out my heart 😭

“I think that the good Lord might have his hands a bit full at the moment & I am willing to step in & take up the burden” 🥺😭 Jane is ripping my mf heart out, she so traumatized. HELP HA “Boston Richey voice*

wtf I spoke too soon 😩 get tf up outta San Francisco

this vision of San Francisco during a zombie apocalypse during the late 19th century is everything! imagining the described Spanish & Chinese influence 🤩 & they making their way to the black part of the city, y’all… I love this series fr

PART TWO !! when these Dread Nation books switch up in the 2nd half… 😳😨🫨 Justina Ireland, the woman that you are! I’M SHOOK

AHHH, it's getting SO good !!

I love that Katherine quotes the bible while Jane quotes Shakespeare at the beginning of each chapter

I get that Kidan is looking for her sister, but the murder mystery + vampires feel all over the place. something about this story isn't working for me

ugh, after Holiday Heat by Beverly Jenkins, I need MORE Halloween-themed romance novellas! 🔥🎃 if you have a recommendation (preferably with POC or supernatural) run that by me, PLEASE! 🙏🏽

yea... now Ms. Beverly... that Halloween party could be considered real Diddy-ish!! but... I'm not mad at it... I need an invite, actually

even Kidan is asking herself what’s HER problem lol… the dancing scene 👀 an enemies to lovers connection is inevitable, but at what point do we take a stand against this bs 😩

thank you for the recommendation @Midnight August Moon! 🫶🏽 just checked it out on Hoopla & going to get into it!

the world building is so ehh... the vampires aren't vampire-ing enough for me. them being able to feed only from their designated humans is ??? I'm also not keeping up with all the characters. idk, it's just not giving

all the words for things & names make this a lil hard to understand. the mc pissing me off a lil cuz what is wrong with her?

I need to make a chart of who is who

everyone is talking about this one. let’s see what it’s hitting for 🧛🏽‍♀️🧐

I’m on the circ desk for 5 hours tomorrow 😵‍💫 but I’ll be able to put a dent in this. excited to see what happens with my girlies Jane & Katherine

naw, I'm really enjoying this fr. Jane is that girl. I love her down
