Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction? I love learning and I love escaping and both genres help me grow!

Do you like sad books? I don't. 🤣 I just haaaate crying so much. And I cry so easily. 🤣 #booksky #bookishquestions

I'm pretty sure I have a bit of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I'm still able to do my work and daily chores, I just want to be a vegetable when I can. It's sun lamp season.

I prefer hugs. 🤣 And yes, I do have OCD, so no need to diagnose me in the comments. 🤣

The fairy light quest is FINALLY over! 😭 I have two full sets of the correct style in the correct color, which is what I needed. 😭

If more come in stock, I'm buying them. 🤣 #authorsky

Lovestruck in Seattle snapped this picture of me on Sunday and I love being surrounded by all the pink and my book. 🩷💙

I set up a canopy outside for trick-or-treaters and went, "Well, I did buy all those fairy lights. Might as well use some." 🤣

I don't have the patience for a proper TBR, apparently. 🤣

I love cardigan season! I get to feel like a cozy librarian. :3

I have a theory that other bookish people do too. So do you also love a good cardigan?

Lemon8 is by far the WORST social media app, in my opinion.

I get the MEANEST comments there far more often than any other app and the posts are frequently nasty too. I don't understand why the culture there is so vile, but I don't like it.

I'm so tired of author scams. Sooo many people contact me acting like an interested reader when they're just trying to get my money. 🙄 NO SOLICITING!

Comparison is called the thief of joy for a reason. Comparing yourself to others helps no one, but especially not you.

I hit all my goals AGAIN!

Moving forward, I won't be tracking social media following anymore, though. It doesn't really serve any purpose, but it was cool to watch it grow! Thanks everyone. 💙

I had so much fun at Romance Recess! Should I make a more detailed video about event table setup?
