A lovely contemporary romance!

NYC Bookstore Crawl was a success.

We went to a romance bookstore, horror bookstore, and mystery bookstore. I loved that we made such an effort to hit some really cool genre specific spots.

Checking in on my friend in Portland.
Screenshot of a humorous text conversation. The first message says, “How is living in a war zone going for you? Sounds like Portland is just on fire like all the time. Must really suck.” The reply says, “We’re fighting back with ass and titties!” followed by a news image of a nighttime crowd on a bridge with the Portland, Oregon sign glowing in the background. The headline reads, “‘Emergency’ World Naked Bike Ride planned in Portland.” The next message says, “I’m doing my part by wandering around my apartment naked for the helicopters.” The final message response reads, “An—ttitty––fa,” with a “haha” reaction above it.

The white cat is my snuggle buddy and he is not happy that the kitten is currently snuggling with me.
Two cats relaxing on a bed with a colorful floral comforter, one white with gray markings sitting upright and watching, the other black stretched out near the camera. A TV is on in the background showing a movie scene.

They told me I was the 5th person at the Early Voting Place this morning. Polls opened at 9am.
They said they had like 400 people yesterday.
Let’s go Virginia!

My kitten is getting her spay sutures removed today. She no longer has to use her doughnut as a travel pillow.

My weekend reading plan! #booksky
A person holds the book Katabasis by R.F. Kuang. The cover shows an M.C. Escher–style illustration of a surreal, descending staircase library, with scattered papers falling into the depths. The title and author’s name are in bold gold letters.

I don’t read a lot of literary fiction but I was super intrigued by the premise of this book.

Set in a small, no where town in the Florida panhandle, if it wasn’t fictional I would swear it was my hometown, it follows the story of a group of girls as they navigate motherhood and life.

Enjoyed it

3D-printed some guillotine earring. Fashion with a French Revolution twist ⚔️🇫🇷
A pair of 3D-printed guillotine earrings in a shiny purple-blue color, modeled after jewelry from the French Revolution. The design features a Phrygian cap at the top, a rectangular frame with a slanted blade inside, and a decorative charm hanging at the bottom, recalling the guillotine earrings worn in the 1790s to mark the execution of Louis XVI.

I love sharing books with friends and I love when they find things in them that they connect with.

My friend is very much enjoying Mia Sosa’s new book. And it makes my heart happy!

Getting to meet both @miasosaromance.bsky.social and @oliviawrites.bsky.social was just a delight.
I started reading Mia’s books when I moved to DC and she is fabulous storyteller.
I am excited for Olivia’s newest book as I am a paranormal romance reader at heart.

Two colorful romance novels propped up on a red and white plaid tablecloth. The book on the left is ZomRomCom by Olivia Dade, featuring a plus-size woman wielding a machete alongside a man holding a sword, both standing in front of a blazing fire with zombie hands reaching toward them. The tagline reads: “Her lover—a vampire! Their enemies—relentless!” The book on the right is When Javi Dumped Mari by Mia Sosa, showing a woman confidently holding a rose while a man gazes at her with a city skyline in the background. A pink sticky note with “Jen” written on it peeks out from behind the books. Framed art of bright houses and windows is visible on the wall behind them.

Our last full day in #Ireland and we woke up to this amazing rainbow. 🌈

Happy to go home but will be missing this beautiful place.
A rainbow stretches across a cloudy blue sky above a pale blue house with a slate roof. A gravel path leads past flower beds and potted plants. The green lawn and trees in the background are bright from recent rain. A small patio set sits to the right of the house.

In the mossy wilds of Kerry, this peaceful spot is said to be the grave of Queen Scotia, an Egyptian princess and warrior of legend. Hard to say what’s fact, but the story endures and the place itself is undeniably magical.

A person in a turquoise raincoat and wide-brimmed hat stands in a lush forest clearing with arms open, gesturing proudly toward a large mossy rock in the center of the photo. The ground is covered with ferns, grass, and scattered stones, and dense green trees fill the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Ireland is amazing but the neighbors are a little loud.
A lush green field dotted with white sheep, some standing and some lying down, stretches toward a line of trees. In the distance, a large tree stands tall near the center, backed by a view of calm water and rolling hills beneath a cloudy, gray-blue sky. The peaceful rural landscape captures a classic Irish countryside scene.

Why don’t people have more kids in the US?

May I present my most expensive bag I own. It was a gift when my son was”graduated” preschool.

His TOTAL tuition for the 9 months he went to this school was $20,000.

It was the cheapest preschool/daycare option we could find with availability.
A white and black canvas tote bag with black handles, decorated with childlike artwork. The center features a green cartoon frog with a dragonfly on its head and the words “Frog Pond” beneath it. To the right, there is a second frog face drawn with large eyes, pink cheeks, and a smile. Faint green text and scribbles are scattered across the bag, including what looks like children’s handwriting. The bag is resting on a dark floral-patterned comforter.

Fine…I will take a nap.
A white cat with a black patch on its head is curled up on its side, resting on a textured white blanket. The cat’s front paws are tucked adorably under its chin, and its eyes are partially closed in a peaceful, sleepy expression.

A person holds the book Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, wrapped in a blue towel or blanket beside a pool. The book’s bold, yellow title features stylized lettering with tiny icons, including skulls and a pineapple. In the background, swimmers are visible in the water, and white lounge chairs line the pool deck. The person’s fingernails are painted a shiny cobalt blue.
