Wyatt is a steamy and sweet friends to lovers romance.This novel features a cowboy and a veterinarian, enthusiastic consent, emotional vulnerability, processing grief after losing a parent, and being brave enough to share how you really feel. #books #reading #booksky #romance #luckyriverranch
Features the cover of WYATT by Jessica Peterson on the screen of a book tablet laying on top of a paisley dark brown and yellow pillow. The cover is bright blue with a cowboy wearing a denim jacket, white tank top, and brown cowboy hat. His forearms include several tattoos (one of a sunshine, one of a snake) and he is sitting down and wearing blue jeans and leather gloves. He is holding rope in his hand. You can see a side profile of his lower half of the face featuring a brown beard.

I have adored reading The Apothecary Diaries. Any manga you would recommend that have similar themes? I enjoyed the political, medicinal, and social topics illustrated throughout? #manga #booksky
Features the cover of the first volume of The Apothecary Diaries. The background has stripes in a watercolor light blue image with clouds and a plant growing. In the foreground Maomao is seated and has her hair in a bun with braids, purple eyes and pursed lips as she holds a mortar and pestle in her right hand with medicinal herbs in her left. Her robe is a light green and her skirt is purple. There are3 varieties of herbs on a white sheet on her lap.

Love the emphasis on universal design, public transportation, work conditions, and food markets.

Loved the description of my presence and embodiment 😊✨
Says Old Rose in white letters on a dusty rose background A screenshot of text that says “Blushing sunsets. Champagne bubbles. Stolen kisses. Your essence is old rose: a blend of soft elegance and sparkling vitality. You move through life with a graceful charm, leaving a trail of gentle joy and light-heartedness in your wake. Your presence is like a warm, inviting glow. You embody a unique blend of sensitivity and exuberance, with a spirit that dances between the serene and the vivacious. Your approach to life is both artistic and heartfelt, inspiring those around you with your creativity and affectionate nature. In your eyes, the world is a canvas of subtle beauties waiting to be cherished and celebrated.”

This sticker reminded me of the lyrics to the Arthur Theme Song

“Open up your eyes, open up your ears
Get together and make things better
By working together

Bridge: It's a simple message,
And it comes from the heart.
Believe in yourself,
For that's the place to start!”

These two posts were back to back in my Bluesky feed 😆 @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social
There are two posts displayed in the photo. The first post is of John Green discussing feeling like the Coauthor of the Federalist Papers compared to Hank Green (John Jay done at 5, Hamilton doing the other 51). The next post on my discovery feed is from Hank Green discussing philosophy and biology.

An impactful quote regarding ageism “Pitting groups against each other-old against young or, in this case, vice versa-is a time honored tactic used by the wealthy and powerful to divide those who might otherwise unite against them in pursuit of a fairer world for all.” Pg. 29 #booksky

The council has decided we deserve a “don’t judge a book by its cover” pick as a sweet treat. #booksky #squishables
The image features a cozy brown couch with a paisley brown and gold pillow with a burgundy “don’t choose a book by its cover” with stickers, a brief book synopsis, and several boookmarks laying on top of a calico cat snuggled up pillow, and a King Raven black squishable wearing a crown.

Loved our time at the Burke Museum. What an incredible space full of Indigenous art and featuring the special exhibit Rare Air: Connecting with Species of Flight. A wonderful space accessible for all ages.
