The stress is unreal. The anxiety is unreal. Each day is a struggle.

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

You guys know the drill. Let's tell them what we really think.
Gooooo!

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

It has been 3 days

I. Am. Exhausted

I disappeared for a while, but I'm coming back.

I managed 10 books in January. I finished up the current books released for the Alexa Obrien series by Trina Lee. These books hold a special spot in my heart because I started them in 2020, when I was in a major reading slump, and it helped me escape the pandemic and get back to reading 💙📚

Very disappointed with the calls during the ravens/ chiefs game today. The ravens didn't play well today and likely still would have lost; however the reffing was atrocious and also contributed to the loss.

That being said, very well played season, Ravens!

💙📚 I'm tearing through books - I just finished Beauty Becomes the Beast. This one was better than vaewolf rising. It actually seemed like there was story to this one. But also SO much sex. It was enjoyable and quick. Not much character growth. Writing something spoiler free is hard. 6/10

💙📚 finished book 7 today - vaewolf rising. I've been away from the Alexa Obrien series for a while so it took me a bit to remember what's going on. I'm not certain I missed the series. The book wasn't bad but a lot of it seemed shallow. There was some decent character development though. 5/10

#book number 6 was Lucky Number 11. Holy shit, yall, this book was rough. It was a great book, and some amazing twists and turns. But it focuses on survivors of sexual assault. It is well written and it depicts PTSD with amazing accuracy from my experience with PTSD. 8/10

Cont. The plot holes/armor are slightly eyebrow scratching but also just the nature of these books and doesn't detract. It had everything I could want and more. The editing in these books aren't always the best but they are so fun and a good story. 8/10

I can't wait for shirtaloon to release 11

I just finished my 5th #book this year. He Who Fights With Monsters Book 10. To try to not spoil anything from earlier in the series

It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me angry (the ending especially, but in a good way wanting more.) There were some plot holes/armor but to be expected ¹/2

Today's finished #book was Four Point by Max Ellendale. I liked the way the book was written; you weren't constantly guessing "who done it" minus at one point. The killer was semi-known but it was the thrill of finding him before he hurt anyone else. And it was Sapphic which I love. 7/10

I was able to finish The Assassins Blade before date day today.

It's good for a set of novellas. It shows growth with Celaena. Celaena is a spoiled brat and can be frustrating but she grows and that's important to me. Don't expect the #book to go indepth. There are a lot of emotions though. 6/10

I haven't had much energy to read after having multiple deaths this week. But I was able to finish another #lego build. The tranquil garden was a lot of fun to build and will go great next to my bonsai

This weekend I haven't picked up my #book much but I #read the first 2 stories in The Assassins Blade.

I see why people struggle with reading this first in the throne of glass series, but I'm really enjoying the short insights into the characters before diving into the series. Not for everyone tho

My first #lego build of 2024

We are three days into 2024 and I have already finished two #books - Red, White, and Royal Blue and The Housemaids Secret.

I enjoyed both a lot but I preferred Red, White, and Royal Blue. The Housemaids Secret was good but I liked The Housemaid more.. the characters were too unlikable in Secret.
