First Book square (ever) for January 2025 goes to For Whom the Belle Tolls by @sea-ya-later.bsky.social. Squares 2-4 will all be my own design special for the Empyrean series by @rebeccayarros.bsky.social

Devastated that my #OnyxStorm pre-order won’t ship until March. No updates from Amazon at release, order just says “received” & had to seek update myself. This really destroyed my will to pre-order other books. I wish authors could secure distro agreements from vendors. Digital it is, I guess..

I guess today is the day I teach my pre-teen about the need for disassociation as a single mother in corporate America.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I am seeing so many posts on social media about boycotting the inauguration. Don't you dare. Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming

I’m 21 chapters into #ForWhomtheBelleTolls by @sea-ya-later.bsky.social and I’m forcing myself to stop for the night with no idea how I’ll survive a full workday tomm. TGIF..
This will only be the 2nd book in my decade as a parent that I will fervently binge to finish. The other was by Stephen King.

So it’s 2025 and I know I’ve currently got about 4 hours in Starfield, but it’s feeling like time for another Skyrim play-through..
