#BookTok Has a Hold of Me, and All I Can Say Is ‘Yes, Ma’am'
Watch out, my good girl kink is showing with every inch of growth...to my TikTok 😉; Plus — A Needy Girl Boss Wrestlemania Recap 🤼
First thing’s first: OJ did it and now he’s in hell for it.
The last few weeks have been a blur of writing strategy proposals for work and slowly knocking out books in my ever-growing TBR. (My fantasy wish list is also growing — take a look here and remember, my birthday is in May 😌). I also take book recommendations! Drop them in the comments below 👇🏾
📚 Book Genres I Like 📚
(Let my dream Amazon wish list be your guide):
Romance (including erotica, dark/gothic romance, and romantasy) — this includes mythical beings, monsters, vampires, werewolves, etc.
Fantasy (see above)
Sci-fi
Thrillers
Historical nonfiction and fiction
Memoirs of interesting people
Black and American History
World History
Poetry
It’s also been filled with hot takes from #booktok and annoying my friends and family with my growing obsession and return to book reading, buying, and living vicariously through female main characters who have the balls to be unapologetically who they are and the scary-cat billionaires who discover three-fourths of the way in they cannot live without them.
I even had to do a mid-book check-in to ask my new #booktok friends if Dante is in Ana Huang’s King of Wrath (Book 1 in Huang’s wildly popular “Kings of Sin” series of morally grey MMCs and bad bitches) got any more palatable by the end? Turns out l, he does. But my annotations are hilarious for this one. T Time Review forthcoming.
As I finished today, thankful that Dante did redeem himself in the end (also, fuck you, Francis — you’re a terrible father!), I can now move on to the wildly popular “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame” books and the rest of my ever-growing TBR. But “AnnieBot” and “Gothikana” keep looking at me. And my dirty L.O.R.D.s series. But the MMC in “Fourth Wing” keeps popping up in my dreams…
I digress. I am ignoring my mother asking me if I’ve talked to my therapist about this. No, mother. You know I don’t have insurance since I started my new job and it doesn’t kick in until May 1. But, Dr. Shana does follow me on TikTok and I am sure we’ll have plenty to discuss once our conversations resume.
But despite my mother’s ribbing, I have been handing out fun #booktok tips:
Pray for me. Or send positive vibes. Whatever you’re inclined to do 🫶🏾.
The Needy Girl Boss Review of Wrestlemania XL
The biggest event in sports entertainment annually was this past weekend — WWE’s Wrestlemania XL in Philadelphia, and the massive two-night event was the main reason I haven’t been able to focus or keep up with my reading list in the last seven days.
The lead-up to the marquee WWE event was filled with crazy good interviews, quotes, quips, promo shoots, must-see moments, and highlights that will last until next April.
Here are the highlights in case you’ve been living under a Rock — and I don’t mean the final boss:
Jason Kelce should be invited to everything live and fun.
My baby daddy Cody Rhodes finally finished the story and is now the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. There were tears, there were congratulations. There was a John Cena sighting, which is odd because allegedly, you can’t see him.
The Undertaker made an appearance in the main event Sunday and has assumed his role as the ghost of Wrestlemania’s past, present, and future.
Roman Reigns is the finest champion in this decade.
My main husband and baby daddy CM Punk got SWEET revenge on Drew McIntyre after he defeated Seth Rollins for the WWE title.
Also, CM Punk can wear the FUCK out of a suit. Lord, he’s looking like he’s in fighting shape 👀
I’ve never been so happy for The Miz and R Truth in my life.
Bayley deserved this title win.
I think I am attracted to Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill and I am not mad about it.
Jade
Rhea
And if I ever need an advocate for anything, please call Paul Heyman first.
👀 Things to Watch — Comments on Quinn
I am obsessed with Quinn, as I have mentioned, and it’s helped me get back into reading in the last year. Adrian is one of my favorites on the audio erotica app, and Comments on Quinn is one of my favorite Instagram accounts. Check out her series with creators on YouTube.
BRB, “I’m gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.” FERAL THINGS.
