You, too, will soon be able to have your heart stolen (smashed, and trampled) by Woman of Sorrow and Blood 👀👀
My favorite book of 2026 so far!
Woman of Sorrow & Blood by @diannalgunn.bsky.social stole my heart from the opening page and I think about it all the time. Get ready to have your heart stolen (and maybe eaten) in this gorgeous cult vampire romance.

I think my theme for 2026 is "embracing the new and amazing." 🥰
Instead of making resolutions, I choose a word as a theme for the year.
My word for 2025 was survive, and that’s pretty much all I did.
For 2026, I’m aiming a tiny bit higher. My word is live, as in “live a little”—which is exactly what I plan to do.
