Regardless of how you feel about TikTok this should send chill downs your spine. This kind of shameless groveling before a political figure should be an ominous warning for everyone and every aspect of society.

Rewatching Hook with my kids and realized the lost boys all wear clothes from the time when they came to Never Land and THAT’S why the littles who knew him and thus believe that Peter is Pan are all dressed like 1900 newsies while the “older” cooler boys who look like 1980s TV characters don’t 😭😭😭

Post the cover of a book you read way before you were ready for it.

(No regrets! The original horny telepathic dragons changed my brain chemistry forever)

Whoops, I missed this one so I ran to GoodReads to see what everyone else loves most, and my readers are on the same page: #SFFtalk #bookquotes
Screenshot from Goodreads “Keep your gods and goddesses on their pedestals if you want, but the rituals, the rules, the isolation? You know that isn’t really from them, right? That’s written by mortals. Men, mostly. We have a bad habit of locking up people who scare us, and the thing that scares men with power most is a woman with more of it.” “Cry. Rage. You deserve to. You’re angry, and you should be, but you get to choose whether it will make you bitter or make you better.” -Emily Thiede, This Vicious Grace (The Last Finestra, #1)

Hi butterflies! I’m Emily Thiede, author of romantic YA fantasy full of banter, innuendo, and messy found families saving the world🍋

My debut duology, This Vicious Grace and This Cursed Light, is available everywhere books are sold and the Nerd Daily says it all in the final line here:
NERD DAILY: This immersive fantasy features an incredibly dynamic backdrop and it is imbued with magic that just breathes life into the characters. Much like its cover, it’s rich with beautiful storytelling, compelling characters that will sear themselves to your very soul by the end. There’s betrayal, forbidden romantic entanglements, found family, political machinations, and so much to love about this book. Despite the fact this story is fantasy fiction, I think many will identify with Alessa, because, at her core, she’s a young woman with the weight of the world thrust upon her shoulders and essentially trying to figure it out before the world goes to hell. Literally. Currently, I think most of us feel the same. I would definitely say to add this to your TBR, but if you’re someone who really enjoys listening to your books, listen to this one. The narration is phenomenal, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Tonight we discovered that the ancient “radio” in our new house is actually a creepy intercom system where we can spy on every room so the upcoming teen years will be exiting!
