We have a lot of rescue animals freeloading around the house. Not Mama Kitty, though. At 13, she runs a tight ship and demands best behavior from all parties. She rules with an iron paw.

Mute calico cat with pale green eyes sits on a paisley patterned chair arm in a West-facing window catching the last of the sun’s rays. She is wearing a collar with a tag and a bell.

I’ve loved every Riley Sager book I’ve read . . . until now. There is sooo much internal conflict that by the time the characters figure out what to do, I no longer care. I have 45 minutes left, and everyone could die, and I’d be okay with it. 😵‍💫

The cover of Riley Sager’s Survive the Night shows a dark road with a single car’s headlights. The writing is in shades of yellow and orange to mimic the headlights.

Current read: What You Leave Behind by Wanda M. Morris. It makes you want to rush out and get a will. #BookSky #Blackauthors

My girl, Scout, has thyroid cancer. This is likely her last snow. Pictured here in 2015 when we were both much younger. She still loves the snow. #dogs #dogsky

I have many more at school and on audiobooks. It also just occurred to me that I don’t have a copy of Kindred—my favorite. I teach, and I love Jason Reynolds and Kwame Alexander.

28% in and The City We Became by @nkjemisin.bsky.social is blowing my mind! Although fantasy is not my norm, I read The Broken Earth series last year (when do we get a tv series?)
and decided I need to read ALL of her books. Robin Miles is tearing it up, too.
