June was a wild reading ride — full of magic, political intrigue, heartbreak, and a few “what just happened?” moments. 📚💙
From lush worlds and adorable spirit creatures to bittersweet romances and sequels that made me question everything… these books took me everywhere.

I can see that. A lot of times a good narrator can entirely change the experience.

Agh I could not get into this one despite how much I wanted to.

There are two types of people in this world.

Those that thank #ChatGPT every time they use it

And...

Those that won't survive the bot uprising.

I want to be able to cackle in delight at the things that bring me joy and do my weird little dances as I go about life.

So I do. More and more openly so as time passes.

I think the world would be a better place if it was commonplace to let yourself burst at the seams with mirth.

My hottest bookish take is that I think complimentary epubs should be available with each hardcover/paperback purchase 🤷🏻‍♀️

By far, one of the most productive things I have done to bolster my creativity is to turn off the noise.

Removing the background YT videos, stopping the scrolling that drowns my thoughts, sitting with myself in silence.

When you stop injecting content into your brain, it creates it instead. 📚💙

Good morning Booksky! 📚💙

I continue with the pet parade! 🐶

This precious girl is Lola. Her hobbies include sunbathing and stealing the chew toy when nobody is looking.

She wants you to stop scrolling and read your book instead.

If they get especially unlucky it will be a huge author and they will never escape it!

I love how artfully you said that. I need more coffee 😂

Today, in unsolicited advice:

Don't piss off a writer. They will put you in their book and it is guaranteed not to be pretty.

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

I hoped Bookshop.org would be the solution, but they bind their ebooks to they app and you can't load them into any e-readers unless they run Android. I have been seriously considering jailbreaking my Kindle.

We need more of this! Also, I would love it if we could find a platform where we can buy e-books that are not bound to a platform. Some of my favorite indies do offer this through services like Book Funnel but that's more of a case-by-case basis. We could definitely use a store.

Good morning Bluesky!

I am beyond elated by the welcome I received yesterday from y'all. I was honestly not expecting to be met with so many kind comments and good vibes!

Have some coffee and a brownie! You earned it 💕

I also have 2 other dogs and 2 turtles. I am sure I will have plenty of content to keep me on the spotlight 🤣

That's good to know. I am just hoping my feed doesn't turn into a rage bait fest. That's ehy I gave up on threads.
