No.30-🌈📚 Gorgeous story of a merman & the sideshow freaks who make a family for Benny, a Puerto Rican man drowning in the complexities of life as an unwanted immigrant on the Brooklyn waterfront. Lots of history plus a fairy tale that makes the heart ache.

No.27-A wiseass demon is the curse-keeper for a family who turn into monsters - & much to his surprise, Lazlo was expected to actually KEEP the curse. Maggie, on the other hand, intends to break it. 6 days, cross-continent travel, & plenty of other monsters & trouble along the way!

No.26- 🌈 📚 Yummy novella with a mix of noir gumshoeing in Chicago & some magical mayhem. Sapphic romance, with a cool twist on possession. Breezy read for a spring day!

Ran an incredible race today, through gorgeous scenery & in support of the cross country teams of the Page, AZ, corner of the Navajo Nation. My first trail race, only about 25 mins slower than my road race PR last year. Had so much fun & the landscape was so magical!

Ran fast tonight so that I can run sweetly slow for Antelope Canyon X Half Marathon on Sunday ❤️‍🔥 maybe my penguin compression socks made me able to run faster splits! Or my hummingbird shirt. Or maybe it was the April wind 💨

No.24-An excellent “magical school" book, where the students are being constantly hunted by malicious creatures who seek their magic, & one hero stands against them. Which drives Galadriel absolutely bonkers. If Orion Lake saves her life ONE more time, she's going to kill him.

No.23-🌈📚 A therapeutic thriller about the end of days, & the people who bring it. Technocrats & plebes & Sodom & web servers. I really enjoyed this one, even though its parallels to IRL were TOO spot on. Great as an audiobook w/multiple narrators.

I LOVE a dress code. Our outfits were dialed in for a garden party last night in honor of the grandparents who came before us 🎈

No.22-🌈📚 Delicious little murder ballad brought to life, with exactly the lyrical weirdness I hoped for from Amal El-Mohtar. Two sisters on the edge of another world, singing to the willows & being wooed by a storm. Definitely read the afterward - it is potent 💜

TDoV finds me on a little run by myself in a quiet & gray bosque. So many things are threatened now, so I run, & talk to the willows, & give thanks for all the love that surrounds me, at least for another day.

I ran 100k in March! That was a fun challenge.

I was in Hillsboro, NM, this weekend being a pie boy - pies by Sal Pal! - for 152 Art Walk ❤️‍🔥 Made 6 pies & a friend made 4 more & we sold them all!

No.21-🌈📚A West-by god!-Virgina fairy tale, riffing on Narnia, but make it gay. Need I say more? Really sweet book, picking up the lost boys as adults. Emilie & her pet rat are perfect too, & the setting is delicious (of course there’s a door to another world in the woods of WV!)

There are 7 new kids at my farm! It’s been a fun week of newborns. I’ve been there for almost all the births, or found the baby right after. Pretty wild, pretty wonderful! This one is Flower (the kid of Bambi, & sister to Thumper!)

The only part of my run (yesterday after farming) I enjoyed was the part where I stopped my watch & climbed a tree 😅 Also the river was good, with a cormorant fishing in it, & my snakeskin shirt is a great vibe. But the running…bleh. So it goes sometimes!

No.20-A world that runs on
scriptomancy & the postal service - what's not to love? Maeve's father, perhaps, since he may have caused an apocalypse. Maeve is trying to solve this mystery & nothing will stop her, not bloody warnings, & certainly not a handsome courier!

No.19-A seamstress who weaves magic into her stitching is hired to make a wedding cloak for a prince. In a palace full of unhappiness, she is drawn to Kit, whose moods sprout nettles in his wake. With nuptials nearing & a revolt brewing, can two broken hearts mend each other?

Long run after a week of farming every day. We have begun the time of darting from shade patch to shade patch in ABQ - grateful for bosque by the river & of course underpasses!

A glimpse at the multitudes contained within 🌀 Cosmic nipples by Baby Atchison! It was always the plan to get “fun” nipple tattoos after top surgery.
I’m super happy with my little windows into the cosmos 🥹 ✨

No.18-🌈📚 Love & connection & how to be a good human. When Nate arrives at his cabin for some much needed R&R, he is baffled by a mysterious girl & her grim bodyguard who help themselves to his home - and eventually his heart. Funny, gut-wrenching, & action packed. The gruff MM romance is 🔥

Ran 16 miles total this week for the 2nd week in a row. I guess this is training for Antelope Canyon Half, but mostly just enjoying the good temps & my spring energy before summer farming pops off 😅

No.17- Great middle-aged romance. Twyla feels past her prime, though she is a badass marshal capable of fighting hoards of the undead. With her best friend Frank by her side she can deal with dragons too, probably. It’s grandkids, weddings, and FEELINGS that might be her undoing!

No.16 - 🌈📚 Good MM romance, with plenty of heart & hijinks. Charles' books usually have interesting female characters AND emotionally intelligent lead men, which makes the setting of a London social season more tolerable. A funny premise, a satisfying end, & plenty
of 🌶️ along the way!
