Happy Belated Release Day!!

Some personal things popped up, and as a result, I'm a day late on the surprise release date for The Viscount Says Yes by Sarah Wallace. However, that doesn't mean I'm not absolutely thrilled to be sharing this beautiful epilogue for Wallace's Meddle & Mend Series.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The 2025 Grammy Awards were filled with moments almost guaranteed to get conservatives riled up, as artists used their platforms to speak up about trans rights, healthcare, immigration, and DEI initiatives. ⤵️

"If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

teen vogue CONTINUES to be That Girl.

they are a perfect example that youth-oriented media can tackle real-world issues with intelligence, heart, and respect for its audience. they cover the topics teens care about while amplifying marginalized voices and holding people in power accountable 💖
As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

⭐ Five Star Reads of 2024 ⭐

I will start this off by saying these are 5 star reads for me, but they may not be for you.

⁉️QOTD: What was your favorite read for 2024?

Mine was Fire Spells Between Friends by Sarah Wallace & S.O. Callahan. I absolutely love the queernormative world they've created.

12 days into the New Year and figured it was about time to post my @thestorygraph.com wrap-up. I'll also be posting my 5 star reads of 2024 later!

I wasn't really surprised by anything in my round up, except for that, I explored the work of 48 new authors!! I hope to continue exploring in 2025.
