In the meantime, my ebooks are on sale while I'm packing. You can pick these up in the usual places online and come get your shelf trophy (paperback or hardcover) at my table! If you prefer ebooks, I'll also have vinyl stickers this year featuring book quotes and Nikola Tesla.

Tonight's self-care: rewatching X-Files from the beginning + picking up my sketchbook for the first time in ages.
It feels good to make imperfect art just because I can. No deadlines, no pressure. Just scribbles and fun.

I might have gone overboard at the library, and I'm still working through books from Romance Book Store Day, but I accidentally found the wholesome side of TikTok.
People posted their personal curriculum (basically learning for fun). I already do that, but I ended up with lots of recs. Oops 😂

Happy birthday, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. While I've been making a dent in my TBR stacks for research and fun, I've had Frankenstein movies on in the background tonight.
Though I have several favorite shots in Bride of Frankenstein, I love the image of the creature descending in the tomb here:

Timeline cleanse! Please enjoy these pics of my youngest cat, Willow, stealing her mom's place on my desk before deciding to be a complete menace by perching on my printed chapter that I'm trying to revise. Again.
She's not even a little sorry 😂💖

Had an amazing time at the Def Leppard concert tonight!! It was good to step away from everything for the night. (I might be a tired goblin during revisions tomorrow, but it was worth it 💖)
Yay for blurry pics 😂

Sleep is definitely harder than it should be!!
Tiny Book Shop is on Steam and the Switch. You have a mobile bookshop in a quirky town that you can decorate and fill with real books. The descriptions are fun! There's also some quests with the townie. I really like it!

Been in a mood all day (it was a sad anniversary for me), but I'm feeling better now. Tomorrow's newsletter is done, and I've got things to mull over for revisions.
Now I get to curl up with Nine Tailed by Jaci Lee and play some more Tiny Book Shop later. 💖

A few more pics from today before I go back to reading 📚💙
After we visited the bookstore, I took Mom to Snack & Go. Neither of us had been before, but we loved the Vietnamese food! I came away with a new trinket, too. 💖

Yesterday was a DAY, but Tiny Book Shop came out and I've been having fun playing it between revision sessions. It's v cozy, but has also given me a new author goal of getting any of my books into this game. Maybe in a future update? I can dream. 💖⚙️📚

My black cats are two of the sweetest, silliest, and most intelligent cats I've had the privilege of knowing. My gray tortie was far grumpier (but I loved her so much.💖)
