This is who runs this account.

Been going to the library to get my writing done more often.

Fortunately or unfortunately, that also means walking away with new books to read. (Despite already having a completely overwhelming & out of control TBR)
A stack of three library books on a light background, starting with The Daughter of Doctor Moreno by Silvia Moreno-Garcia on the bottom, 10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall in the middle, and Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur on top, which has a matte contemporary romance cover art with a white man and woman dancing before a Ferris wheel and an evening cityscape in the background.

Ignore the terrible picture quality and look at this little friend I met while working at the library today 🦎❤️
A slightly blurry, under-saturated photo of a small, sandy-green lizard on the outside sill of a window. It's color almost perfectly blends in with the dried leaves and nettles on the ground behind it.

I'm always on the lookout for books where the MC(s) and love interests are both bisexual, especially the even rarer m/f bi4bi ones.

This is spicier than what I typically go for, and the heroine sometimes makes silly decisions. But overall I had a fun time with this one (& really enjoyed the mMC)!
The official book cover for Truly, Madly, Deeply by Alexandria Bellefleur. It depicts a brightly hued image of a white man and woman embracing in front of a window between two bookshelves, while the woman is slightly looking down at the man because she's standing on a stack of books. She is wearing a purple sundress with matching purple strappy heels, and he's wearing jeans, white shoes that look like Converse, and a purple vest over a white T-shirt. The image is clearly art and not photorealistic, but more three-dimensional than a lot of the traditional romance vector art styles currently popular with romance novels.

Solid. Respectable. Not exactly a founding member, but savvy enough to have gotten in early

Everyone shut up and come look at this 1973 mass market paperback edition of The Princess Bride my spouse got for me:
A photo of a mass market paperback version of The Princess Bride novel, featuring artwork of a very obviously naked, heavily made-up woman wearing an unusual hat or veil, surrounded by a clutter of motifs including what looks like random animals, a human body, and a skull, among other things. All set against a white background yellowed with age.

Reskeet (still hate this word sm) with the fictional character you base your personality around

Really dating myself here, huh - but what can I say? She was so formative to me

Mentally? Here.
A picture from the show What We Do in the Shadows showing the vampire Laszlo Cravensworth in a southern-style dive bar with the caption "I now go by the name of Daytona."

Introduce yourself!

One book
One video game
One movie
One album
An image of Hugo award-winning author T. Kingfisher's novel Paladin's Grace, which features a cartoon sword on a background with matte violet and green swirls and cartoon mice on the cover. A fairly non-traditional cover design. A blank white background with a blood red dragon set behind a traditional fantasy-esque figure in the foreground, with the words Dragon Age 2 prominently displayed. The cover for the film for Thor: Ragnarok, featuring bright red and green, with the title character surrounded by the other major supporting characters. The cover to Florence and the Machine's album Ceremonials, featuring the lead singer Florence in a simple sequined top, arm wrapped around herself and head tilted pensively, reflected several times in mirrors which show her from different angles.
