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.

A spicy indictment of purity culture?

Purity by Skyler Mason

July 3, 2022 by katie71483 5 Comments

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 […]
