It wouldn’t be a reading guide of mine if I didn’t forget a slide—just like last time. My updated reading guide is up! Check my last post for the rest of the guide if you’re looking for something different.

🐙 FALL 2025 READING GUIDE 🐙

I have a lot of range and I’m not afraid to use it, which means there’s almost no chance I won’t have something for everyone. However, it can also be frustrating for mood readers and those who like to stay comfortably in their bubble.

✨With great artistic freedom comes great responsibility.✨

This comprehensive guide will help you find a starting point if you’re new to me OR catch up if it’s been a while.

🐙 CHRYSALIS releases on 04.14.26

🐙 Some titles may appear more than once because they fit multiple categories.

Hope this helps!!

When the trope is TOUCH HER & DIE, but you thought he meant “dead to me.” Oop 🫣⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: mild g0r3. ⏩ Swipe to the 4th slide if you like to live dangerously.

@eightbawlstudio crushed this scene from CRUCIBLE of Seth giving Aurelia the severed head after she was attacked by drifters and her men did what they do. Gaaaaaaaah! 😮‍💨🫠 I. Am. GAAAAAAAGGED. I can’t thank the artist enough.

I also want to take a moment to appreciate all that 🍑🍑🍑Aurelia is carrying back there. Made me say WHOA. 😜🫶🏾

Thank you for an amazing release week! I hope everyone is enjoying Chrysalis! I especially loved seeing so many of you at BookCon this past weekend.

I’m wrapping up my final book this year so my time online will be limited, but stay tuned for a special reveal happening tomorrow. 🫶🏾

#bookstagram #romancebooks #romanceauthor #bookish #bbreid

Had such a great time at @bookcon that I forgot take more footage. I got to chop it up with @authordanielleallen and see her shine at her panel. And then I did my first ever panel with @taylorjlarue @authorshaylingandhi and @literaryintersections and I don’t word vomit as bad as I thought I would. 😂

My absolute highlight of the weekend was the reader who dressed up as Aurelia/Goldilocks. That was so cool to see, and I’ll never ever forget it. I couldn’t wait to tell my mama I made it. 😭🥹🙌🏾

Thank you so much to @sourcebooks and @read_bloom for creating this amazing opportunity for me.

#bookcon #romanceauthor #booklovers #bbreid #bookstagram

I’m at BookCon, baby! Here is where you can find me tomorrow! I bought some goodies (as seen in the Men of the Wilds PR box) so make sure you stop by. See you sooooon!! 🥹✨🙌🏾

#bookcon #books #sourcebooks #romanceauthor #romancebooks

Aurelia was ready for Khalil to put her through the mattress after seeing that sl*tastic display 🫠🔥😂 (scene from CHRYSALIS)

The MEN OF THE WILDS duet is now complete.

Binge this weekend if you want:

🐻 Goldilocks retelling
🏹 Why Choose
🐻 Only one cabin
🏹 Multicultural MMCs
🐻 Wilderness setting
🏹 Baddie Archer
🐻 Danger around every corner
🏹 Banter and sexual tension
🐻 World building
🏹 Plot & Spice
