Ah fuck. I’m just realizing I never made it to the farmer’s market this morning and therefore have no apples to eat as breakfast this week

I don’t care how I feel tomorrow though I will make my holiday fudge!!

I have a head cold so my nostrils are super dry. They stung like a bitch when I put some lotion on earlier tonight. The thing is it’s about bedtime and they’re congested enough I really want to use my nasal spray but I also don’t want to dry things out even more when they subsequently start dripping

Finishing my reading year off by starting Shōgun. I’m hard pressed to think I’ll finish this year given how I’ve been feeling but I’ll certainly give it a go

Why oh why didn’t I go ahead and buy the second Clocktaur Wars book 😭😭 now I have to wait days, DAYS, to know what happens. An absolute travesty

Clearly I loved Clockwork Boys!

You ever shower and just feel like a person again afterwards? Cause it’s a glorious feeling

I’ve been really run down lately so been slow in my reading but I’ve enjoyed every single minute of Clockwork Boys so far. I absolutely love T. Kingfisher’s work. Ahe’s a mastermind across all genres

Nooooo! I hadn’t realized Song of the Hell Witch wouldn’t be a standalone. I have to wait for more?!? Tragic.

I’m absolutely loving Song of the Hell Witch by Taylor Hartley. It’s super cool that she’s a local author too. It’s definitely getting me out of a bit of a reading slump

I packed up a few books since we’ll be moving next year. By a few I mean 10 boxes. The issue now is that there is room again on my bookshelf

Noooooo I think I have to go to the store 😭😭😭

Finished my book for book club and now I have to choose something new. These are always the toughest of moments

It’s gonna be 80 today and I feel for all these committed RenFest folk. I can’t imagine being in full plate or leather today.

I’m a hobbit so feel pretty good! I also got a nice comb to hold my hair up and it’s AMAAAAAZING. Never going back to the claw clip

Look it's simple, we want less stress and we want to be able to afford things again and we want to feel like the rewards we were once promised for a lifetime of hard work still exist and also we want Wishbone back and those are the things we want

Just preordered a ton of 2026 releases and I am pumped!! Also snagged a spot at an author event at my favorite local bookstore for one of the releases.

They’re all pre-paid too so that means lots of free surprises in my future 😂😂

Officially signed with a contractor to renovate the house we’re moving to. It’s so exciting!

Started Broken Souls and Bones by LJ Andrews last night. It’s giving me a mixture of Shadow and Bone and the Bloodsworn trilogy. I’m not totally sold yet but I’m intrigued
November 12, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Honestly after the news I got Friday I can’t do anything but phone it in at work right now

Why post you’re opening at 8am library book sale if you haven’t even started setting up by 8am?!?! I have places to be 😭😭

Going for a long run tonight to shake off some of the shit that happened today. I’m feeling really let down

The wine I ordered at the last wine & cheese event had to be refunded. This means I should save the money but it’s also like…I already considered it spent so does that mean I should spend it on books?!?
