I am terrible at social media, including this beloved hell site...
But I can confidently say that I am the kind of bisexual who is eagerly counting down to July 2nd 2025 like it's my day job.

December 馃悕馃Ф Update




My December reading recovered a bit thanks to taking some time off work for the holidays. I started the month with a reread of Nora Roberts's Come Sundown and ended the year with T. J. Klune's Ravensong. I am very impatiently waiting for the rest of the Green Creek series to be re-released so I can pick them up from the library. While I *could* get them on Kindle right now, I am trying to resist in anticipation of picking up hardcover copies of the whole series. We'll see how long I manage to hold out.
I also borrowed Check & Mate from the library. I don't read a ton of YA, but I found this to be really satisfying and delightful. The characters felt true to age without feeling overly juvenile and the emotions were rich and layered. Another great Ali Hazelwood novel 馃挅

January 馃Ф馃悕 Update


And now we're officially all caught up on my reading snake!!! January was pretty busy for me - I started the new year with an ear infection, chaperoned a high school trip to England and France, came down with covid, and got another ear infection.
I also finally got around to reading Fourth Wing after the nagging of many friends. And they were right, I loved it. Especially since Violet and I have a lot of health issues in common - it was great to see her be a badass in a magical world without a magical fix erasing her chronic illness.
I also tried a new paranormal author that just didn't do it for me, although I did power through the book in hopes it would get better. It didn't, but I found myself liking the second and third Charming Cove books (by Linsey Hall) even more than the first one! So that's a net win.
My reading has slowed down again in February, but I'm finally feeling well enough to crochet other projects, which means less reading time 馃ぃ

November 馃悕 Update




That's November wrapped with 4 books, which feels low to me (and the data backs that up). It should be noted that I started My Roommate is a Vampire just before Halloween, so it carried me through the spooky festivities quite nicely. It should also be confessed that my "sports romance" category has this far been entirely hockey romances 馃槀
I've really enjoyed Once Upon A Book Club's Sweet Halloween boxes the past couple years - they're always a treat and well worth it. I found the company when they did a beautifully curated Bridgerton collection, and I've picked up a few one off boxes since that I've quite enjoyed 鈽猴笍

October Snake Update 馃悕



Yeah, yeah, it's February. See my last post re: me being sick for months. Right now I'm dealing with what is either my second or fourth ear infection in that timeframe, so chillax.
The three paranormal rereads were Lori Handeland's Sisters of the Craft trilogy, which are pretty fun and a bit of a departure even from her usual paranormal style. Plus, there's some fun Nightcreatures universe connections 馃槢

I swear I haven't forgotten about my 30th year reading snake. But I've also been sick in some way or another since November. So I'm playing catch up. I'll be posting each month's roundup in the next few posts.
And I'll be posting more of my crochet creations here too.
I'm still here, still lurking, and hoping to spend more time in one of my happiest corners of the internet as I keep feeling better.

The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.
Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. You鈥檙e gonna tell me that鈥檚 conservative?? Get outta here.

when a pelican bites you there's no malice in their eyes. they aren't upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don't then it's no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that's ok it's a beautiful animal
#i love everything about this#nature is wild#birbs#birbs be crazy#i did not know this about pelicans#but i do know that vultures in human care will test other animals to see if they are dead yet#it's usually one of the first ways that caretakers know another animal may be sick#and generally leads to the scheduling of veterinary exams

Reading Snake Update! - Month 4 馃悕
August was another tight month for personal reading - I only finished 8 books and just over 2,700 pages. 馃摎 Four of those books were by new-to-me authors and I found a couple of series to follow! 馃 My favorite read this month was A Little Too Familiar by Lish McBride. Even though it had some copyediting issues, the story had a lot of heart and the world of the Uncanny was clever and immersive.

Here's hoping that as the school year gets going I can get back on track with my usual reading speed 馃 and there are several books I am eagerly awaiting coming out this fall 馃崅馃グ

Reading Snake Update! 馃悕
Month 3 (July) is over and stitched 馃Ф I only read 8 novels and 1 massive anthology due to editing projects and issues with my AC and crawl space.

This is the first month that I read fewer than 4,000 pages - only clocking around 3,200 馃摎 But while I read fewer books than in May or June, I read works by a massive variety of authors, including several new-to-me authors, and also read across several different genres 馃 The reread this month was Ali Hazelwood's Love, Theoretically - it really didn't take me long to want to revisit Elsie and Jack 馃グ
I really recommend Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King/Siren Queen books and I'm looking forward to the third book releasing in November! 馃馃徎鈥嶁檧锔忦煆濓笍
I've added a "sports [romance]" 馃弳 category to the key since May since I've started on a hockey romance kick and have some upcoming releases on the horizon that I'm excited for. I also went ahead and stitched my first book of August (finished on August 1).
