Today is a good day to make Mychal Threets proud of you. Read a book that brings you joy. Some people read by listening. Some people read by touch. Some people read with their eyeballs. All reading is reading. Remember your meds and have some water!

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Just a reminder that we should be avoiding buying from giant corporations this holidays season.

Alternatives/suggestions:

-local small businesses
-charities/food banks
-creators at conventions, craft fairs, commissioning art etc
-secondhand (thrift, vintage etc)

Started the year with a fantasy inspired & influenced by Slavic Folklore (Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova), so it only feels right to (almost) finish out the year with an urban fantasy inspired & influenced by Slavic Folklore (When Among Crows by Veronica Roth)

Why yes, I did schedule a book club meeting mere days before my wedding. 🤪

Good thing the book we will be discussing is the fun & extremely Minnesotan Rom-Com, Anywhere With You by Ellie Palmer! 🥰

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Currently reading Strong Roots by @oliahercules.bsky.social, and this book is fascinating, heartbreaking, insightful, & poignant.

As someone w/ Estonian heritage marrying someone w/ Ukrainian heritage, this book feels a bit like finally learning about our own family histories, and more.

I am still very much in my tiny book era, but this book calls for an exception to be made.

The Next Chapter by @kelloggcamille.bsky.social is absolutely delightful. I chose it for the upcoming @nextchapterbooksmn.bsky.social romance bookclub, because duh, & I think I did quite well with this choice, if I do say so myself. 😜
