I've been collecting digital pictures since before the Internet was the Internet, so here's just a bunch of random fun to hopefully brighten moods.

Ok, I hate the title. But, this book sounds great. I confess....I don't think I'd be able to time travel without changing something. "She got the red Trapper Keeper instead of the blue, and that changed EVERYTHING." LOL. Starred review from PW. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97982...

I thought this said "Horny Bee Mine" which....is probably not entirely inaccurate? It is described as "sweet and sexy" which, if you're using euphemisms, is contradictory. I have no idea of the heat content of this. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

I don't know why this reminds me of the late 80s, Bruce Springsteen songs, and....Reaganomics. But, it does. Starred review from Kirkus. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97988...

Murder yellow for real! Right in her living room. Still not loving the hot pink. But, can't deny it's a great background to make that yellow pop. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

Good Morning, my loves. Happy Tuesday. My hair decided to be a poofy poodle this morning, which.....is ok. It's raining. I get it. And, I finished re-ordering my grids so they are 2026 compliant. Which means....let's order some books!
I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday.

uh oh. I think FA-A is heating up now. Zizou should have finished this set off when he had the chance. Impressed, though. With Bergs and with FA-A's comeback of sorts.

You've had literal MONTHS to get this thing ready that you insist is necessary. And legal, you have to do it! It's the law!
And the shit don't work on January 5th? It's like you didn't realize January 1st was on the way. And after January 1st.
I can't. Fire yourself.

This year, I vow to mute, unfollow, block people that make me upset rather than just being upset. My blood pressure and cortisol levels have demanded this change. Being upset at people who don't matter seems dumb. Saving all my caring, good or bad, for people who matter to me.
