Marisa | “the ambassador for romance novels”
@emdanyell.bsky.social
Hi. I love coffee, cats, writing, and reading books about romance. Value empathy, equity, and inclusion. Educator. Vinyl collector. Boy band connoisseur.
THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS

Rereading Rules of Scoundrels by @sarahmaclean.bsky.social & I forgot that Temple is my favorite kind of freak. This is also such a masterful moment because yes, HOT, but also because when Mara tells him his control over her feelings scares her, he gives her TANGIBLE control over him, & it’s so…👩🏾‍🍳💋🔥

Also returned from my cruise and while I didn’t do any special celebrating today (too tired!!!), I did get some love from my babies when I got home 🥰

Since I’ve returned to my writing business, I revisited my writing Tumblr and some old fic and found a screenshot of one of the texts a friend sent me at the time in response to a one-shot I wrote. It might still be one of the best reactions to my writing that I’ve ever received.

Found the most perfect pillow at Marshalls today.

I’ve been watching a lot of Fire Country so when I read “skinny” and “rangy,” Billy Burke came to mind.

Soothing my soul and my mind today with some Jason Reeves.

We also probably have some solid plans for Friday (I’m taking the whole day off)! Her response? Exactly why we’re friends.

I can see it a bit in that particular picture! Sometimes I forget that Kirsten played two of my favorite characters growing up (Zenon and Belle). Here are some others of them:

A few of mine:
* Shawn-Douglas Brady & Belle Black, DAYS
* Chloe Lane & Philip Kiriakis, DAYS
* Jessica Buchanan & Cristian Vega, OLTL
* Spencer Cassadine and Trina Robinson, GH

Cleaning my room and shaking ass to a forever favorite. While I love many of SoMo’s releases, his 2017 release, ‘The Answers’ will always hold my heart (and make me wanna throw that ass in a circle).

Might’ve gone a little ham at the Book Fair today. These kids better know how much I love them.

We put our tree up right after Thanksgiving as well! Ash and I got things all squared away this evening.

With the holiday season almost upon us, it feels right to re-share what brought me back to my fanfic roots when #Sprina captured my heart (and kept it!) last year.

Here’s “(To Be) In Love on Christmas” (and yes, it’s named after an NSYNC song b/c I’m *me*) archiveofourown.org/works/52878142

Tell us your birth year by sharing the cover of an album that was released the year you were born

Bright spots of my week: 2 of my students gave me gifts. One presented me w/ a small clay sculpture of a ghost he made b/c he “knows how much I love Spooky Season”. I have named it Espooky. The other gave me a drawstring bag filled with chocolate, cat stickers, & a bracelet that says “Cat Lover”.🥰

One thing to know about me is that I’m a music fiend. I find solace, joy, and understanding in the music that catches my ear, regardless of genre.

Here are a few albums I can’t get enough of lately:
- FLO, Access All Areas
- SoMo, 9 Lives
- GloRilla, GLORIOUS
- Megan Thee Stallion, MEGAN: ACT II

Back on my bullshit (aka reading another Lorraine Heath series from my TBR shelf)
