My journey through Kettle Springs has come to an end. Today I finished reading part 3, and wow, I miss these characters already. I don’t even know what to follow up with and read next. I love the red hard cover and plan to get the other two in hard cover. #horror #booksky @adamcesare.bsky.social

I agree. I know there’s a movie which I haven’t watched yet, but the story still plays out so smooth in my head. I love it.

I’m loving this series. It’s difficult for me to put the story down when I have to do things like go to work or go to sleep, but I appreciate the escape these books have provided me after being filled with stress from work. I also have part 3 on the shelf waiting for me. @adamcesare.bsky.social

I DNF’d three books in the past few months. Not because I disliked them, but because each time I got busy with other things and I ended up stopping reading them. Now there’s another book I really want to start, but a part of me is saying no, finish one of those DNF’d books first. #booksky

The thing I hate most about AI right now is that people aren’t allowed to be good writers, good artists, or good editors without being accused of using AI. There’s still a ton of people who are just genuinely good writers and artists, y’all.

I work harder now, but I enjoy it and my coworkers aren’t perfect, but I'm surrounded by much more motivated and hardworking people. Getting fired turned out to be a big blessing in disguise.

Today marks a year since I got fired from my job (I put a target on my back because I went to HR about some things) and the journey wasn’t easy. A year later, I find myself in a much better spot. When it comes to finances, opportunities, health, and more, I’m in a way better position than I was.

I've been hooked on listening to the “Tower 4” audio drama the past week. I’m not sure where I’m going to go after I finish all the episodes, but I hope to find something just as good. #audiodrama

The dedication page in Contact by Carl Sagan. Unfortunately, I don’t think the world was left better than what his generation was given. #booksky

My current read. I watched the movie before, but haven’t read the book until now. #booksky #stephenking

I’m almost finished with reading Darkness At Noon. I’m enjoying this story more than I anticipated. #booksky

Today, for the first time in I don’t know how long I walked into a mall that was alive and filled with stores that were open for business. It brought me joy. It feels impossible nowadays, but I hope malls could make a comeback.

Watching Fox News right now. The way they’re talking down to Europe as a whole over the Oval Office blow up yesterday and then proceeded to talk up about Musk going on Rogan defending Doge is such an embarrassment to America. We already knew this, but Fox News has zero shame.

Ruez Rodriguez @ruezrodriguez.bsky.social · Feb 28

Wow what an embarrassment that was in the Oval Office. I can only imagine how much the rest of the world and especially Russia is laughing at the United States.

Ruez Rodriguez @ruezrodriguez.bsky.social · Feb 28

Yes I agree it’s worth the ride. I was turned off by how chapter 3 was written the first time I tried to read it, but I’m glad I gave it another chance.

I finished reading Brave New World this morning. My first attempt reading the book was a fail because I just couldn’t get into it, but I’m glad I gave it another chance and finished it. Wow, what a world the people in this story live in. #booksky

I’m excited for the Pokémon presents. I’m pumped up for the potential announcements.

I want to start writing again, and would like writing prompts to get myself back into writing mode. Does anyone have suggestions on where I could find some flash fiction prompts or prompts in general? I’m sure that Reddit has them, but where specifically should I look? #writingcommunity #writers

I've been selling and giving away a lot of stuff lately. From clothing to action figure and card collections. I feel really good about it. Less clutter and no more holding on to things I don’t wear, look at, or use anymore.

I’m not the first person to say this, and I won’t be the last. Even if you don’t care about politics, politics still affect you.

I read a little when I was younger. I didn’t get into reading books until a few years ago. I feel I missed out on some good years of reading, but I’m happy I picked it up in the last few years. So many adventures and journeys. So much information and knowledge to be gained. I love books. #booksky

What are some of your favorite or preferred platforms to use apart from Goodreads? I’m looking to phase out of Goodreads and start using something else. #booksky

This is the first audiobook I listened to this year. I finished 2024 listening to Jurassic Park and started 2025 listening to The Lost World. I enjoyed listening to this story and I think the reader, Scott Brick, did a fantastic job.
