I’m an avid journaler, Druid /|\ (OBOD), bookseller-in-the-making, and truck driver. Follow me as I enjoy the journey of life, my love for nature (especially old growth forests), and the occasional political spew supporting equality.
Pinned
I am currently in a binge viewing of The West Wing because I need a better coping mechanism than doom scrolling TikTok. Also it’s nice to watch an educated well articulated US President, even if he was a fictional president. It was the first show that told me lgbtq was not heinous.
Here’s a short list of what I dnf after I finished the Throne of Glass series
1. Quicksilver
2. The Ritual
3. Never Keep (this lead me to not even attempt Zodiac Academy)
4. The Coven
And very nearly Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea
What brought me out of this you might ask? The Wager by David Grann

I should probably give an update but I finishes the Throne of Glass series after thinking I’d quit after the first book. I’m so glad I kept going because it was magnificent. It altered my brain for a bit as well because I had a string of dnfs afterwards.

I am blowing through audiobooks faster than ever so I figured I’d spread the word @libro.fm is better than audible.
1. It’s not owned by Amazon (why give more $ to bezos?)
2. You can support your local bookstore
3. They have nearly the same sales as audible
Check it out: libro.fm/referral?rf_...

What is this witchery? I am now in the middle of book 3 of the Throne of Glass series after nearly dismissing the entire thing after book 1. I commend those who pushed me to start book 2 but I slipped down the rabbit hole before I even realized it lol

I just finished Throne of Glass by SJM. I loved the ACOTAR series but I don’t think I’m continuing this series. I think if I had read in when I was younger, it may have caught my attention more but alas my elder years just couldn’t connect to it.

I think this was the first dedication that ever made me cry. And I never felt so called out in my life.

Not only did I drop a door on my big toe today but I also pulled an intercostal muscle which has been extremely painful while I do anything that requires breathing.

I went the entire day today without phone or internet service and it was really eye opening how much I rely on it not just for entertainment but work and family as well. I know people complain about it all the time but damn if it don’t make life exponentially easier.

I’ve been having dreams of thunderbirds lately and just happened to stop at a truck stop with a native jewelry shop next to it in New Mexico. I checked to see if they had anything with thunderbirds and I ended up with their last adjustable thunderbird ring (and much poorer) #druidsky #nativeamerican

Happy Yule, Winter Solstice, Alban Arthan to all my pagan folk. As the days begin to stretch and night slowly recedes, may the new light of the year bring you happiness! The battle of the Holly king and Oak king reaches its peak today.
