Most probably guessed from my vague posts, but we officially closed on our first home today!
Is it haunted? Hopefully, since it’s exactly one hundred years old.
Does Tuna have a yard now? Yes!!!
Our realtor even painted our home for us, and it will hang in our home 🏡 ♥️🪴

I don’t generally rate books 3 stars (at least publicly because of the algorithm), nor do I usually write GoodReads reviews. Today, I felt the call.

I’d like to speak to the person who bought so many books without considering how I’d feel about having to pack them up one day.
Oh wait, it’s me. I’m the one who bought them.

I found my long forgotten Pokémon card collection, along with several Beanie Baby cards, in a Delia’s bag today. I feel like a walking stereotype.

One of my kids called me, from the courthouse, to tell me her guardianship request (who she wants to live with) had been granted, and when I tell you it took all of my willpower not to cry…

The only downside of getting an ARC of THE BUFFALO HUNTER is I cannot use the eBook dictionary feature for certain words, and have to look them up like a Luddite.

You all know I love novelty cookbooks. We had several on our wedding registry, and I’ve posted about some of them before.
Well, I think I have found the crown jewel of my collection.

Hoping for more great horror in 2025. I want more LGBTQ+ horror, more horror from BIPOC writers, more horror mixed with whatever authors love. I want more smart, unique horror that doesn't care about being easy to digest. I want more horror full of positionality. I want it all.

Hate waking up to see the news out of New Orleans. Such a great city full of amazing people who deserve to feel safe during large celebrations.

I read 135 books this year, and here are my top four faves, with three honorable mentions. Before I get into my picks, I want to caution/explain/advise you not judge yourself against me.
