About Me

Hi, I’m Taylor!

I’m from Seattle, but recently moved to Austin, TX. (Bring on the taco trucks & sunshine!)

I’ve been part of the Bookstagram community for 3+ years now (previously known as SilverFire Books), and I’ve loved every minute of it!

When I’m not working, you can usually find me curled up with a book and a cup of iced coffee. I’m also a big fan of dogs, chocolate, and ridiculous dance moves.

What was the last really unique book you read? (Th What was the last really unique book you read? (Thanks @tordotcompub for the gifted ARC!) Siren Queen is about a young Chinese American woman in the 1930s who makes a deal - with sinister people - in order to have a shot at becoming a movie star. It’s strange and ethereal, with monsters who walk and talk like people. But it’s also grounded in historical and thematic elements, like race, class, LQBTQ rights, and fame. The entire time you’re reading it, you have no idea where it’s going to lead. That’s the mysterious beauty of it. The plot meanders a bit, but I never wanted to stop reading - and the characters really stand out. If you’re looking for a truly unique book set in a world that’s similar to but not quite our own, this one is definitely worth reading! 4.25⭐️ (out now)

Do you have any short story collections on your TB Do you have any short story collections on your TBR? (Thanks @randomhouse @hogarthbooks for the gifted book!) The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is haunting and visceral. I had some mixed feelings, but overall I liked it and I’m glad I read it. I really enjoyed the beginning of most of these stories, but some of the endings disappointed me. Sometimes, they felt like they ended too abruptly - like they were building up to something, but then/the tension just petered off and you’re left confused. There were a few stories that really made an impression on me, but at the same time, some of them left me wanting more. I loved the cultural aspects and folklore though, and the stories were definitely unique! Rating: 3.5⭐️ (out now in paperback!)
Happy pub day to my #currentread , Book of Night b Happy pub day to my #currentread , Book of Night by Holly Black! (Thanks @torbooks for the gifted ARC) Holly Black is well-known for her YA fantasy books, but this is her debut into the adult fantasy/fiction world! This urban fantasy is set in our world, but with shape-shifting shadow magic. It’s about a woman named Charlie - with a not-so squeaky clean past - who gets entangled in a dangerous scheme with some very powerful people. The world building/magic system is super unique here. I love how urban fantasy bridges the gap between the real world and something just beyond it. I also love how we get glimpses into Charlie’s past, along with a good dose of mystery in the plot. The characters feel real and I’m so curious where it’s going to lead! This book is out TODAY, so be sure to check it out! 🙌 💬 Do you read fantasy at all? I haven’t been reading as much lately, but I want to get back into it!

🐘🦒 🐆 Here’s a new(ish) thriller to put 🐘🦒 🐆 Here’s a new(ish) thriller to put on your radar! (Thanks @williammorrowbooks for the gifted book) If you’re looking for an eerie thriller set in a remote location, check out The Wild Girls! It’s set at a secluded safari lodge in Africa, where a group of friends are reuniting for a birthday party after years of separation. There’s a lot to enjoy here: -And Then There Were None vibes (but modernized) -exotic setting -multiple POVs -secrets on secrets, slowly revealed throughout the story It’s an addicting story - I finished it in 2 or 3 sittings. I do wish there had been more of a focus on the animals, and things do get a bit far fetched at the end, but the interesting plot and strong characterization made it a solid read for me! Rating: 4⭐️ (out now!) 🌍 Where does your current read take place?
Happy pub day to One Of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose Happy pub day to One Of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose 💄(Thanks @blackstonepublishing for the gifted book) This is my #currentread and it’s definitely intriguing so far! I feel like it would be perfect for fans of The Real Housewives and/or anyone who loves a juicy drama. Here’s a little blurb: “Jenny owns Glow, the most exclusive salon in [Buckhead]. She knows all her clients’ secrets and darkest desires. Who amongst [her clients] will be clever enough to survive Buckhead—and who will wind up dead? They say that friendships can be complex, but no one said it could ever be this deadly.” One Of Us Is Dead is out today! 👉 What’s your current read? Are you liking it so far?
