October is for witches, racing, and ovaries

I’m a little late on the newsletter again this month. You’d think that being off of work for three weeks would make it easier to get a newsletter out on time, but it turns out that your body healing itself is kind of exhausting.

So…. remember when I got a hysterectomy last year and joked that it was “10/10, would do again”? Well, be careful the things you say, ovaries will listen. And grow squatters inside your body. So you need to do it all over again. I had that surgery at the end of September and it went really well and recovery is going pretty smoothly. I’m now fully reproductive organ free and I definitely have thoughts on that to write out soon. In the meantime, you can reread the cursed piece about my first surgery below.

Reading

• ✨ A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna 🎧️

• Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tuli 🎧️

• Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon 🎧️

• 🏎️ Lights Out by Aven Ellis

• ✨ Passion Project by London Sperry 🎧️

• 🏎️ Slipstream by Madge Maril 🎧️

Since it’s Spooky Season, I HIGHLY recommend reading both A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping as well as Sangu Mandanna’s previous book The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Both are full of charm and cozy magical romance, but also deeply touching (especially if you have a soft spot for Found Family).

Other Autumnal/Spooky Recs:

• You, Again by Kate Goldbeck - When Harry Met Sally genderflipped. Fall vibes.

• Bride and Mate by Ali Hazelwood - These books are absolute crack and I NEED MORE. I’m calling that if there’s a book three, the pairing will be Owen and that female senator. Cause we haven’t had a Vampire/Human pairing yet. 👀 

• Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings - Chicken Shop Date but with hot dogs. Fall Vibes.

• The whole Ruinous Love Trilogy by Brynne Weaver - Serial killers in love.

• This Spells Love by Kate Robb - If you love midnight margaritas, pick this up.

• Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe - Highly recommend the audio for this one.

I am deep in the R&R revisions on THE RACING LINE, so that means ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ . Which means more for you to read!
