A Very Special Christmas… or is it?

Tangled in Tinsel by Trilina Pucci

January 1, 2023 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

If you have read any of the reviews I’ve posted over the last year or two, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve mentioned BookTok a good bit. Honestly, I probably spend more time scrolling through the clock app than any other form of social media right now. All of this is to preface where I’m going next: SmutTok, the part of BookTok that is for the people that like a *serious* amount of spice in their romance. As in, more pages are dedicated to sex than […]

Positivity and Inclusivity all around

Praise by Sara Cate

Eyes On Me by Sara Cate

Give Me More by Sara Cate

Mercy by Sara Cate

September 25, 2022 by katie71483 1 Comment

As has often been the case of late, BookTok steered me toward the Salacious Players Club series by Sara Cate. The recommendation I came across was actually for MERCY, the fourth installment in the series, but who starts at the end? In order, the series includes PRAISE, EYES ON ME, GIVE ME MORE, and MERCY. While they’re stand alones, you’ll enjoy them more if read in order as you do see characters from other installments in each book. When I say this recommendation came from […]

A spicy indictment of purity culture?

Purity by Skyler Mason

July 3, 2022 by katie71483 5 Comments

… This I have to read.* Obviously. I came across Skyler Mason on TikTok. She was speaking about her experiences with purity culture, making a break from it, and then writing a spicy book about those experiences. Purity is that book. (Please note that I received this book as an ARC after signing up for it on the clock app.) Having grown up in a low-key version of the Purity culture, I was very curious about how this would work. I think this book is […]

BookTok Made Me Do It

The Land Where Sinners Atone by V.F. Mason

June 20, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Phoenix Hale is convicted of manslaughter for the death of Zachary King’s wife, and he, unsatisfied, arranges to make her life an endless torment. But it turns out Phoenix is innocent, and when she is released, the pair are forced to work together to stop a serial killer before they can strike again. I am not one much for BookTok, but it is a fun way to find books I’d probably not come across otherwise. The video about this book attracted me immediately because of […]

“Knowledge is Carnage”

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

April 1, 2022 by anana Leave a Comment

The Atlas Six came highly recommended by a friend, who is much cooler and trendier than I am and found it via something called “BookTok” which I hear is all the rage with the youths. The same friend was kind enough to lend me her library card credentials to be able to check it out from Libby, because there was a six month wait to check it out using my home library card!  The plot of The Atlas Six is a fairly standard “magic school” […]

Following BookTok down an odd rabbit hole

Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta

August 13, 2021 by katie71483 1 Comment

Y’all. Y’ALL. I follow several romance authors on TikTok. Many of them are self publish in a variety of subgenres under noms de plume. One of them (I wish I remembered whom it was) recommended Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta as a follow up to Ice Planet Barbarians for the romance everyone is going to be reading and talking about this month. I knew when I was reading the blurb on amazon… Strike that, I knew just from hearing the title that this […]
