It's the Most Wonderful Day of the Year! Night before trash day, the week of Christmas- gotta pee on everyone. #FitzSometimesSits

my yia yia got me a new coat, but it's a bit too big. but I still look adorable, especially my single bat wing ear #FitzSometimesSits

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

ok my actual answer Super Tetris, Ms. Pacman, and Bubble Bobble arcade games. Guardians of the Galaxy pinball. Jaws or Indiana Jones if it needs to be older.

RAK brewing

Not bad for being this old. Love this guy!

He really is the handsome-est. #FitzSometimesSits

Speaking of an emotional week, could this BE more appropriate for my memoir audio book listen?! Just listen to it, or read it. as sad as it is, it's honest and poignant and raw about a lifetime of battling addiction.

This week has been one emotional breaker after another. I have been stretching time and time again to protect, support, and comfort others. Overdue for some selfishness and emotional release. so I sobbed on @callmemrwiggles.bsky.social in a parking lot and demanded to go to our local indy bookstore.

Finally read this despite having it for 2 years. Worth it. Quite a few stories I didn't know. 5 out of 5 would recommend.

So glad I read this one despite having watched the movie. The prose is so good, just a masterclass of wordplay and humor. #bookriotreadharderchallenge2024 5. Read a sci-fi novella.

Retelling of The Nutcracker. Didn't love it. 3 out of 5. #bookriotreadharderchallenge2024 #BOTM 24. Read a book based on a prompt from a previous year. (Read a book that is a retelling of a fairytale or myth)

well, that's one perspective. there is a lot of wrong here. I'm glad she's getting help.l and building a life outside the show. while I think she's closer to getting it, there is still the decision to engage with her family of abusers. 2-3 out of 5. not sure I'd recommend.

what's up all? I got to go to the dog park today and that makes me happy. what are you doing to make you happy? #FitzSometimesSits

First time reading paranormal romance and well, pretty dang great. really like this Author's world creation and character work.

foster?

Witch - witch hunter cat and mouse, high society lady and working class man, and choosing between brothers-this has all the tropes. Several plot twists that you see coming but couldn't stop reading anyway. Planned sequel, no release date. #BOTM

Fantasy is a favorite genre for me and this first book of a planned trilogy really hit. despite the title, strong Female ownership of her own story, characters learning to master and deal with vulnerability and I'm excited for the second book to be released in August.

Last week, I made a batch of pie crust and had the second half left over, so for all his help and kindness I told @callmemrwiggles.bsky.social that I wanted to bake him a pie, and that because he likes beets so much, I wanted to try a beet pie recipe.

delighted with the voice work once I slowed it back to normal pacing. Miss Marple is always right.

Bought it last year for my grandmother after hearing the NPR interview. Was not expecting the heart break to unfold so consistently across the back half of the book.

a night in two acts - one in Momma make the thunder boomies stop and the other is Momma I feel safe and loved. He is such an expressive and lovie boy dog. #FitzSometimesSits

the amount of restraint I exercise on a daily basis...
