I think I’ve been listening to the same playlist for a while because Spotify is AGGRESSIVELY recommending different playlists for me. Just let me listen to my comfort music in peace, Spotify!

Little ones know best.
The batch of frozen mangoes I bought is terrible. I know this because Kili and Ori will not touch them, absolutely won't even go near them. I was like "eh I'll just put them in smoothies" and my god. These are the worst mangoes I've ever eaten?? they're so SOUR? what happened at the processing plant

I absolutely loved Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social and devoured it in two sittings. It is both creepy as all get out and really heartwarming. Five stars. Also Tara is a certified badass and I love her. 📚💙 #amReading

It’s still early yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying Bury Your Gays. Very creepy. #amReading

Now moving on to Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social which I’ll be honest, I picked up mainly because the cover is really pretty. And I’ve never learned the lesson about judging books. 📚💙 #amReading

Just finished The Staircase in the Woods and I’m not really sure what to think about it. Dark and kind of depressing. I definitely related to Lore and Owen, but I’m not sure I entirely liked it. 2.75 stars. 📚💙 #amReading

My weekend has been absolute shit. So shit that I haven’t read anything. Just lay on the couch watching Mythbusters and dreading the week ahead.

Finally picked up Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social In my defense I didn’t think it was a real book or that Chuck Tingle actually existed. I assumed it was all an elaborate meme that I was too old to understand.

I’m reading the Witcher series, starting with Blood of Elves. My eyes are starting to cross I’m so bored. But I bought the whole series, so I feel committed. This is going to be a slog… #amReading

Just finished Immortal Dark by Tigrest Girma, which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend for any one looking for fresh vampire blood. #amReading 💙📚

I’ve been calling it the Screaming 20s all decade.
The 1920s were the "Roaring 20s"; I suspect this decade will be the "Ruined 20s."

Having drunk way too much soda at the comedy show yesterday, I am currently awake. On my day off. This infuriates me. (Like it’s not my own damn fault)

Whoever thought of painting the edges of hardcover books is an evil genius. Yes I did but a new book I don’t need. Why do you ask? #amReading #well #amBuying

I DNF’d a book at 30 pages. That’s probably a new record for me. #amReading

I am trying to grow jalapeños but it’s been 2 weeks and my little seeds haven’t sprouted. ☹️ I just want something green to grow. #amGardening #okayAmKillingPlants

I love the covers so I’m in!

Scalzi says it so I’m 100% justified.

Just fyi: A new book will make you feel better

I just finished reading Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I absolutely loved this book and wanted to give Uncharles a hug and then a task. My first 5 star read in a long time. #amReading 📚💙

So I’m returning to my Backlog o’ Books with #4 in the Memoirs of Lady Trent (In the Labyrinth of Drakes). I really enjoyed the first 3 books and I have high hopes for this one. #amReading 📚💙
