Sober retired bartender. Unapologetic liberal and voracious reader of romance and mystery books set mostly in the 19th century. Romance is feminist as F*€k

If you get a follow request on Instagram from a profile resembling one you already follow, don't worry. I'm migrating to a new page to align it with my other social media platforms.

Meme with an angry leopard baring its teeth, captioned "Voted for leopards eating people's faces party" at the top and "Surprised when leopard eats his face" at the bottom. The meme uses the idiom of someone supporting a harmful cause and then being surprised when it negatively affects them.

The image is the book cover for "Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear. The cover features a woman, presumably Maisie Dobbs, in a grey dress and hat, partially obscuring the title. Below the title, it reads "INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER" and a quote from The New York Times Book Review: "Be prepared to be astonished." In the bottom left corner, there's a silhouette of two figures with umbrellas, with a clock tower visible in the background, set against an orange background.

Inspired by @romanticseeksfeels.bsky.social , I decided to track my savings from my library card in January
This "receipt" includes only the books I read.

I have a question, do book influencers who make videos just not know that there’s a very simple way to make your content more coherent? Watching a video where all the text is reversed/mirror image makes my brain hurt.

The video editing icon to reverse image is circled in red and labeled “before” Screenshot of a video with a person holding a book where the text NOT a reserved/mirror image.
