Finished Mexican Gothic by @[email protected] and it was phenomenal. I haven’t read a lot of gothic novels aside from the classics, but this felt like a genre defining book for the current era. Highly highly recommend! #books #bookscene
I aspire to read broadly, across time and genre.

So, what are people #currentlyreading ?

I'm about halfway though Twisted Love, and I'm loving it (it's so bad it's good!) except I appear to be out of synch as I keep reading about cute fall fairs and swimming lessons at home, and the not so SFW scenes at work 😳

In my #wip, the female lead gets stuck in the rain with her love interest.
I'm struggling to describe her soaking wet in a way that makes her sexy and wild (like in the picture below). I keep deleting everything I write because it comes across as funny or creepy, not even remotely hot.
