What I just finished and what I’m about to read!

Tender is the Flesh is NOT for the faint of heart and made me soooooo uncomfortable but in a fantastic way!!!! It definitely helped me think…. Things in the world could be worse.

TW: cannibalism

Next up is Court of the Vampire Queen!! Because Vampires have been and will always be my most favorite. Ever since I was young and read Interview by Anne Rice (I was 12) 🥰
