This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

We continue to be appalled by attacks on immigrants that are making communities and cities across the country less safe. Today's shooting of a civilian by an ICE officer is horrifying. We have donated to MIRAC and encourage you to donate to organizations that share your values. www.miracmn.com

93rd read of 25: Head by the Ceiling by Anthony Shieh was my last (18th) Filipino read of the year. It’s also a decent debut horror story by this author. While set in Japan, it follows a group of OFWs. #booksky #horrorbooks www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

92nd read of 25: Curdle Creek by Yvonne Battle-Felton: I was gifted this by the hubby. I wouldn’t say that I *enjoyed* it; it is not a lighthearted read and a bit too grim for that. -But it has been rattling around in my brain since I read it #booksky #horrorbooks www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

88th read of 25: The Witch in the Well by Camilla Bruce. It took me far too long to realize that this belonged in the prioritized Norwegian TBR (the author is a weegie). 17th Norwegian-authored book of 2025. Review below: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

87th read of 25: The Vanished by Chuckberry Pascual: The 17th 🇵🇭-read and one that is trans-inclusive. A quintessentially Filipino cozy mystery that still handles some deeprooted issues familiar to most Filipinos. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #filipinobooks

97th read of 25: The Other Ones by Jamesie Fournier & Toma Feizo Gas ended up being a chilling 5-star intro to Inuit horror for me. What a way to end 2025❤️ #booksky #horrorbooks www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Loaf’in #SookieTheFarmCat next to the heat pump (her favorite winter spot) #catsky #catsofbluesky

47th read of 25: Our Biggest Fears by Bo Chappell: A tense and engaging introduction to @infrafan.bsky.social’s writing that is so much more than a simple slasher & encompasses more than its few pages would lead you to think www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #horrorbooks

12th read of 25: Krø by Didrik Morits Hallstrøm: Information Age-aspects merge with folk- and grief horror into something refreshingly new and exciting in this Norwegian horror book. 5 stars www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

11th read of 25: We All Go Into the Dark by Kevin Lucia: 4 new stories from the eerie (& deliciously interconnected) town of Clifton Heights. Some lessons from the stories: Do not: take the access road, go to pizza Joes/ the abandoned theme park nor spa www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

My 5 picks for Graham to read this year: Ascension by Eliza Victoria, Walking Through Needles by @heatherlevy.bsky.social , The Diner by J.C Robinson, The Tear Collector by @shawnbinjax.bsky.social & The Whistling by @rebeccanetley.bsky.social 😊

A sweet moment:

One more review to go on GR until I’m up to date. I wish past me had done a better job of this..

As mom works through the pile of books she’s borrowed from me I’ll sometimes rearrange them/move some up. I left her a copy of Lisey’s Story by @stephenking.bsky.social ~4 years ago and she’s only now spotted it thinking I must have brought it when I visited the other week. #booksky

#filipinobooks in my TBR (awaiting the arrival of a few more). #booksky

The Norwegian part of my TBR #booksky #norwegianbooks

Tradwife's been flagged by The Book Place We Do Not Name for "content violations" - on account of its "blood" and "dismembered organs" (presumably on the cover) It's our bestselling book, which we now can't advertise on the place where most people (alas) still buy books Happy New Year!

Wtf. I regret looking at the news.

Sorting out another load of laundry so that I have an excuse to read some more 😂

It’s not few times I’ve thought to myself that the local bus drivers aren’t paid enough for all the annoying people they deal with. Special creds to the short driver who threw out a bunch of drunk teens on the risk of his own safety on NYE.

My mom’s figured out that there’s videos on FB and gotten really into it. I’m now getting daily DMs with Filipino-content and I’m kind of enjoying it 😂

The year in board games. This seems around the same as the previous couple of years in terms of plays and hours. There have been some good games! Also started the daughter on gaming a bit and one of her games has creeped into my stats which is cool 😎.

< 1 hour til we’re done for the evening. Will hopefully make it to my mom’s before midnight 😊

Ended my 2025-reads with this (Inuit horror). Enjoyed it. www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...

Our #SookieTheFarmCat has always been special #catsky #catsofbluesky

#catsky #catsofbluesky #booksky This is a cat- and book friendly household. #SookieTheFarmCat doesn’t mind them either.

Trying to settle down for the night. *slam* #SookieTheFarmCat is busy..

What ended up being thr cozy penultimate read of 2025 for me:

Both my books are now free on Kindle until the 1st of January. Tell your pals... Oh, and a wee review/rating would be very much appreciated. It really makes a difference. All the best. Hope you enjoy them. ♥️👊 mybook.to/TheBlackCabin mybook.to/ScatteredLit...

I thought I'd seize the opportunity, in this festive heterotopia, to try to persuade you to read some of my books. If that's okay. First off: Tradwife Like "true crime without the ethical ickiness" (per @anna-orridge.bsky.social), and strongly *dislike* white Christian nationalism? Cool. Me too

Massive giveaway- I’m giving away a set of my whole current catalogue. Signed and personalized. Share, comment and follow to enter (on any of the platforms where I posted this). I’ll pick a winner in a week. Love you! 🖤🦑

Someone is tired (if he sits on anyone’s lap for >2 minutes he’s ready for nap time)

Stavanger Taxi must have been celebrating in style:

One of the gifts for Graham happened to be this ceramic fish by Bulgarian artist ivaspottery. He’d mentioned he’d like some swag for his bookshelves

Yule gifts from Graham pt. 1 of 4: The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, ltd edition ( @foliosociety.bsky.social ) Beautifully illustrated by Juan Esteban Rodríguez. #booksky

Time to crawl into bed. I have one of those nifty 08:00-21:30 shifts tomorrow. Merry Christmas to me, indeed 🫣

The 4 y.o made an Yuletide ornament in kindergarten. The face is giving me vague Pennywise-vibes.

In bed trying to catch 5 hours of sleep. #SookieTheFarmCat: *comes in* “meow” *leaves*

Aaaah. Yuletide and fjøsnisser. -If I continue to struggle to read I’ll be leaning into the silly and watching this instead youtu.be/qmbKcSkd9q0?...
