I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who made plans to see me this month. Hopefully I can reschedule things when I'm better
Tw suicidal ideation I feel like I’ve been a hypocrite because this recent book release has centered so heavily on mental health, especially asking for help when you need it. I promised myself I wouldn’t perform wellness for this release. I thought if I made myself visible, as this broken version of myself who I am fighting so hard to keep alive, then people who are struggling to show up for themselves would see me and know they aren’t alone. Unfortunately I think it’s time I took my own advice. It took me longer than it should have to admit it, but I need help once again. In order to get treatment, I unfortunately have to cancel my upcoming events for the rest of the month. I wanted to give all my energy to release week, but I have to save my own life right now. Sales numbers mean nothing if I’m not here to see them. thank you for understanding 💜

✨Blurb reveal from @sonorareyes.bsky.social for IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, out February 10! ✨
Blurb from author Sonora Reyes for IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, out February 10, 2026, by Sabina Nordqvist “Nordqvist masterfully balances a swoon-worthy, toe-curling romance with the unfiltered reality of being disabled in our current society—from the frustration of not being heard, to the magic of finally feeling seen. If you have ever wondered if you were too much or not enough to be loved completely as you are, this book is for you.” - Sonora Reyes, author of The Broposal

At the risk of sounding like I'm pity marketing, I really need to talk about how fucking hard it is as a disabled person to take care of my mental and physical health while also promoting/ marketing/writing/editing and doing interviews/blog posts/events/emails and the list goes on (1/5)

We're torturing children. We're terrorizing them. The long tail of what this regime has done to kids (first term AND second time around) is going to haunt for generations.

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation.

Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
7. At all of the shelters visited in the middle of the night, ProBAR staff witnessed children who had been pulled out of their beds. They were confused and scared. At Hands of Healing Los Fresnos, one young girl was extremely distraught, crying and repeatedly saying that she could not go back to Guatemala. At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician. At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members. At Compass Connection in Harlingen, an attorney was able to meet with only one child. None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return. ProBAR’s client and named Plaintiff ARMD was at Compass Connection, but he was transported to a plane without notifying me as his attorney of record.

I originally had a really cool preorder campaign planned for The Golden Boy's Guide to Bipolar but unfortunately the fiery pits of depression hell got to me first, which I suppose is fitting since I promised myself not to perform wellness for this release.

mental health update:
I noticed a small piece of proof that I'm making progress today. I used to quietly put up with pain when I was hurting. I convinced myself I deserved to be in pain, and that I should just put up with it like everyone else. (1/5)

I'm mad and I don't feel like being quiet about it so here's my little (probably actually long) vent about insurance being a FUCKING SCAM

So I found out a month ago I need to get a CPAP so I can breathe while I'm asleep. I was actually really excited to learn that I have severe sleep apnea (1/7)

My therapist told me I should compliment myself in the mirror so I hyped myself up this morning before I finally went to say something nice and when I got there I pointed at myself and just froze and said "nice" and you know what it actually made me feel very nice! 10/10 highly recommend!

genuine question for readers: what kind of marketing from an author actually makes you want to read a book? And is there any type of marketing that makes you NOT want to read a book from that author?

gonna be really vulnerable for a bit and then we can all pretend everything is fine again. I think the reason I haven't talked much about The Golden Boy's Guide to Bipolar even though it comes out in less than two months is because I'm currently in the trenches of my mental illness.
