Welcome to my corner of the internet, where we treat mood reading like a strength, not a flaw.

I'm Laura, an investigator by day and a book world enthusiast by night. This Substack is for readers who want to read more, spend less, and maybe sip a little tea while they’re at it.

Here’s what you’ll find here:

📚 Listicles Worth Bookmarking
From toxic love stories to cozy mysteries to high-heat Kindle Unlimited finds, I serve up curated book lists to match your mood—no algorithm required.

🏛 Library Lowdown
Tips for getting the most out of Libby, Hoopla, and non-resident library cards. This is your jam if you want to read 100 books a year without blowing your budget.

📖 Kindle Unlimited Unlocked
You might've missed guides, hacks, and troves of underrated KU reads. It’s not just about what’s popular—it’s about what’s worth it.

🔥 Miss Redacted xoxo (for paid subscribers)
Your go-to column for book world gossip, publishing drama, problematic author deep dives, and unfiltered commentary. Think DeuxMoi meets indie publishing.

Who is this for?

• You read across genres (especially romance, thrillers, and mysteries).

• You love a great book and a good takedown of BookTok & Threads nonsense.

• You're constantly refreshing Libby holds or KU borrowing slots.

• You think reading should feel like an escape, not a chore.

This isn’t a space for aesthetic pressure or performative Goodreads goals. It’s a cozy, slightly chaotic bookish world where curiosity and candor come first.
