Just a little housekeeping for my new friends:
✨ when I say I love queer books, I’m talking about all queer identities
✨ audiobooks = reading
✨ this is a SJM, RY, CoHo, TJ Klune, Kate Stewart, etc free zone
✨ free Palestine
✨ diversify those bookshelves
✨ I LOVE my library 📚

Nobody asked but here are my thoughts on age gap romance books:
•as long as they’re both adults when they meet and the younger half is at LEAST in their 20s, I’m a fan
•NOT a fan if they are related or family in any way including step and/or adopted family members
•as long as they’re both adults when they meet and the younger half is at LEAST in their 20s, I’m a fan
•NOT a fan if they are related or family in any way including step and/or adopted family members

I genuinely believe that my children have some kind of super power that allows them to bed fast asleep but wake up the second I decide to get out of bed a little early and read.
It’s like clockwork every time.

I saw @gremlinlibrarian.bsky.social talking about the Prime Mating Agency series MONTHS ago and never picked them up… until yesterday morning and now I’ve finished book 1 and I’m halfway through book 2 (I’m obsessed) 😍
I should have listened to them sooner

Update: Jackie is the WORST. Absolute worst. GARBAGE. Will fight her in a Waffle House parking lot.
For Valentines Day my little were nice enough to gift me with ✨the flu✨ so I’ll be here, in bed, reading this queer read about two besties who get fake engaged so they can get fake married so one of them can get a green card (spoiler alert they fall in loooveee)
OH and there’s autism rep

I’m gonna level with y’all.
As much as I hate Amazon and Jeff Bezos, realistically I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up my kindle or kindle unlimited. There are so many reasons for this but honestly what it boils down to is: I’m broke and I’m queer.

Once we buy this house, I swear I’m never moving again.
Home buying is stressful, moving sucks, and I don’t wanna do it again 😭

I’ve been slacking on my book recs so let’s change that.
If you too have felt the crippling weight of familial expectations, hate family vlog channels, and have memory problems (that aren’t magically induced)

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

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. ⤵️

We went house hunting today and if there’s one note I can give anybody who is selling a home, PLEASE put some salt down if there’s gonna be snow and/or ice. I saw my life flash before my eyes when I slipped on ice on someone’s driveway and it ruined the vibes of the home 😭

Got annoyed and finally deactivated Threads because someone decided to try to compare banning TikTok to banning drunk driving

“Theres a huge difference between just reading a book and reading literature”
“If you say you read 100+ books a year you’re lying”
“Graphic novels shouldn’t count towards your reading goal”
SHUT UP. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. Why do you care? The world is a dystopian hellscape, just let people LIVE.

Ya know, past me didn’t really remember that end of the year reading wrapups are fun when they stopped tracking their reading in like August.
I know I’ve read books this year, can’t tell you how many or what books I read when over the last few months

I think I’m going on a book buying ban for at least the first half of 2025.
Why? Honestly it’s super simple, my husband and I are hoping to buy a house (or at minimum move out of my in laws house for the sake of my sanity) and I wanna save money.
Plus that would be less books I’d have to move 💁

My biggest pet peeve in books will always bee when one of the mcs makes an off handed “joke” about how eating something sweet like ice cream will cause diabetes 😭
That’s not how that works, please I’m begging of you to stop

Real talk, if TikTok goes away y’all might never see my face again.
You’ll see my content and so many books but taking pictures of myself makes me ✨uncomfy✨.

Once again setting my 2025 reading goal to a whopping 1 book because I can and life is already stressful enough, why add another thing to stress about.
