Finished The Thirteen Black Cats of Edith Penn by Sean McDonough
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dark, witchy, and full of feline power. I only wish there’d been more cats (because obviously, cats > humans).
Tortellini approves. 🐈⬛✨

To put it simply, I adored Cleopatra by Saara El-Arifi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cleopatra felt brilliant, flawed, and human. The world building was 😍, the romance lovely, but her devotion to her empire was always at the heart. Tears & goosebumps.

🚀🌌 Floating Hotel by Grace Curtis – ⭐️⭐️✨ (2.75)
Loved the concept of a cozy sci-fi hotel in space, but it felt more like little snapshots than one big story. Wanted more world-building + character connection. Still, the cats and I had a cozy cuddle while reading. 🐾💙

🥖✨ A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic ✨🥖 by J. Penner (@jpennerauthor) — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/5
Such a cozy, sweet read! It gave me total Great British Bake Off vibes, but with magic, and made me want to curl up with a blanket and something warm from the oven.

✨📚 Spell Your Pet’s Name challenge…
After seeing a couple friends on IG try this, I knew I had to do it with my cats! 🐾
First up is Tortellini…who is not always the most cooperative model, but she played along for treats today. 😂
Swipe to see all the Tortellini cuteness!

Happy pub day to How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow by Bonnie Quinn. It’s got that eerie, weird vibe like Welcome to Night Vale, with creepy monsters and rules you really don’t want to break. I’d never survive a night there, but I loved reading it.

Happy pub day to Automatic Noodles by Annalee Newitz. I gave this cozy sci-fi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. It’s full of found-family robots, biang biang noodles, quiet resistance, and a lot of heart. I want to live in their shop and eat noodles forever.

Huge thanks to Hartleaf Botanicals…the plants arrived and I’m in love. This was hands-down one of the best plant packing jobs I’ve ever seen. I’ve been waiting forever to get my hands on a Pink Lady Peperomia, and of course I couldn’t resist adding a variegated Hoya heuschkeliana to the order. 🌿

Feeling really grateful to @libro.fm.bsky.social for including me in their Listener Program. It means a lot to support indie bookstores while fueling my audiobook habit — even if Tortellini thinks the real perk is more lap time for her.
Thanks for letting me be part of it.

I’m not celebrating the 4th. Not because I don’t care about this country, but because it was built on stolen land and broken promises. America has never been great for everyone.

They want us afraid and confused.
They want us broken.
But we were raised on stories that end in fire, not submission.
Fueled by words that spark rebellion.
We read. We resist. We rise.
