I was so excited to get this ARC! So far it is living up to the anticipation. Review to come!

My current audiobook for work

I got that one through a giveaway...so technically that one doesnt count. Need to do some Duskwing hunting to try for one in the near future.

The same happened for me yesterday!

Palia player here! My IGN is TheOriginalKarl

Can I be your friend in Palia? It's a lot to learn at first, but so much easier if you have a buddy! My IGN is MxCookie.

Here's what I'm listening to today!

Wolf Worm is a 4-star masterclass in atmospheric dread. It’s unsettling, visceral, and focuses on the kind of parasitic horror that stays with you long after the final page. It’s short, sharp, and perfectly gross. Highly recommended for fans of What Moves the Dead.

watch me, bitches!

A new arc playing in my ear buds today. Review to come!

This is so hard! 🫂

I cannot wait tbh.

People should not have to work on their period. Just saying.

Any Palia players want to be friends? My IGN is MxCookie.

Omg...I would love this!

Today's album of the day listen through was American Idiot by Green Day while working on my current WIP.

I am a BIG fan and will be purchasing it for my personal collection!

Running errands then plan on being cozy the rest of the weekend.

I have 11 going right now 🤣

I dont have the immune system to attend a rally, and there are lots of valid reasons someone might to be able to go. But that doesn't mean you cant help:

• calls/emails to press local officials into saying no to ICE
• mutual aid/donations
• spread the word, donate signs
• honk when you drive past

To anyone who needs it right now:
If a woman gets shot in the face and your first reaction is to say: "yes, but did she provoke it?" you need to give yourself a shake.

I love it! I got it off Etsy!

​I thoroughly enjoyed Bloodsinger. The world-building is great, providing a fantastic backdrop for an engaging story. The plot is well-paced. However, the characters are the true heart of the book. They are well-developed and easy to connect with. Highly recommended for fans of the genre!

Here's the audiobook I'm listening to at work today.

This was me on Monday. I hope your day gets better!

A black and white album cover for "Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party" by Hayley Williams, featuring a close-up portrait of the artist with a thin yellow square framing her face.

One of my goals for 2026 is to listen to a new album every day. I grew up only listening to Christian music, so I want to explore other genres.

Album of the day: #4

Haley Williams - Ego Death at a Bachlorette Party

Numb. #breakingnews #news #reading #books #booksky
