This year I’m going to try to keep a thread of all the books I finish. I’ll take inspiration from others and pin this to my profile and add to it as I finish each book.

If you support Trump, block me and gtfo 🥰

I went over to a friends house for a few hours today and I don’t know why but being social both physically and mentally exhausts me. It’s like I need days or weeks to recover even when I’m hanging out with people I like. I guess I will never grow out of being an introvert.

Since we're all talking Storygraph today, I wanted to share a TLOAS reading challenge that I created, in case anyone wants to join! There's no time limit, no deadline, so you can complete at your leisure! I'm also working on a graphic for this! 📚💙 #booksky app.thestorygraph.com/reading_chal...

I finally got my record player set up!! It’s so cute. I’m playing folklore first on it. Once I get the rest of the shelf organized I’ll share a picture

Don’t get my hopes up

My reading goal every year is always 12 books. I never know what the year will bring so I think a book a month is usually attainable even if life gets crazy. Also, if anyone is looking for StoryGraph friends I’m asleepybookworm over there too and I’d love to see what everyone else is reading.

If I had a nickel for every book I read last month that featured plants being fertilized with human remains I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right? Even though I gave Tourist Season 4.25 it was still my favorite read of the month.

in 2026 i'm never logging off 🫶✨

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope 2026 is an amazing year for all of you!!

My first year on StoryGraph! I wish I could pick which books showed up in the 5⭐️reads section but I read the 2nd one A Rivalry of Hearts by Tessonja Odette at the beginning of the year and I still think about it all the time. I even bought a special edition that I think shipped from South Africa.🙈

I’m going to try to reread People We Meet on Vacation before the movie comes out. It’s been awhile and I don’t remember what happened.

My local grocery store started selling cut up strawberries and whipped cream and I almost didn’t buy it because I didn’t want to pay $6 for it but I am weak and probably pmsing so I did and it’s my new favorite snack. It’s like the whipped cream icing they use on cakes.

I feel like 2026 is going to be the year I read a plethora vampire novels tbh.

I only work Monday and Tuesday this week and then 5 days off and then back to work for 30ish years until I can retire. 😩😂

I had trouble falling asleep so I finally gave up and finished reading Tourist Season and I’m sorry but I have to wait until JUNE to read the next book!!! 😭😩😩😩 And it’s a trilogy I think so I might have to wait until 2027 for book 3. 😩😩

It is Stuff Your Kindle Day to all of my romance reading friends! Today only (December 26th!) www.romancebookworms.com Let me know what you get, I haven't gotten a chance to go through the list this year but I normally pick up one or two for sure 🙂‍↕️🔥 💙📚 #booksky

I got a record player for Christmas! I can finally play my vinyls instead of just admiring them! 😆 And it’s actually pink not the wood on the box.

I went and saw the new Anaconda movie with my brother and it was actually really good and entertaining! A fun way to spend the afternoon.

Eating a quick dinner before I start wrapping presents all while I finally watch the new Knives Out movie.

A very interesting fortune 😂 Maybe I’ll finally get into kimchi next year

I’m baking Christmas cookies today while listening to one of my fav streamers do some BOTW challenges. It’s nice and cozy!

I made this back in 2021 when Gilbert was a kitten. 😭

Show me how ur 2025 went

I was planning on starting another Christmas book but Tourist Season finally become available in Libby so I will be reading that next. 😆

Random 1:07am thought… what if there is an Adam Driver and/or Daisy Ridley cameo in The Love Hypothesis movie and they’ve just been doing an amazing job keeping it a secret.

It’s Saturday, call me Craig #saturdaycraig #callmecraig #craigularjoe #community #saturday

My parents were going to get rid of this cabinet a few years ago and I said absolutely not. I’ve just been storing some things in it but I think I’m going to paint it a fun color (maybe purple) and store my favorite and special edition books in it.

Kelly Clarkson’s Underneath the Tree is my absolute favorite Christmas song. I’m just a pop girlie what can I say.

I had an idea for a new writing project last night and today I got an Instagram ad for a book that sounded a lot like my idea. 😭 I’m still going to brainstorm the idea though. 😂 I’ll add the book to my StoryGraph tbr too.

I hate the new update on my phone with screenshots. I miss when it immediately saved it to my photos.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

The company I work for does not give us money as a Christmas bonus because we get our money bonuses in the Spring but they do give us an Eataly gift box and it’s always fun to see what kind of Italian food we get every year. There’s usually some pasta and pasta sauce and a panettone and candy.

I work tomorrow and then I’m off for 10 days!! And then I work for 2 days and then I’m off another 5! 😆😂

I ordered some things from Walmart for shipping and they delivered instead in bags and they were Christmas things so people saw them. 😩

We’re having an offsite department lunch today. It feels like a field trip! Except we have to drive ourselves instead of taking a bus. 😂

Florence Welch is so cute. She seems so down to earth.

My cat who rarely watches tv suddenly concerned when Taylor Swift starts crying in The End of an Era. (Forgive the ugly chair covered in blankets, it was free. The pile of blankets makes it comfy for Gilbert.) 😂

I feel like we’ve had more snow already this year so far than the past few entire winters combined.

I’m wearing a Christmas sweater (technically sweatshirt) for the first time in public today. There are some people who work at my company that are part of the religion I used to be in but I don’t really care if they tattle on me to the elders. I’m just going to be festive and have fun and not care.

Get to know your mutuals! List 10 random things you like 😆 ✨ the legend of Zelda ✨ reading ✨ writing ✨ cats ✨ iced chai ✨ stone fruits ✨ French fries ✨ staying up late/sleeping in ✨ baking/cooking ✨ arguing with prejudiced bigots in instagram comment sections (this probably makes me toxic)

I will be sleeping when Taylor is on Stephen Colbert tonight but I’m excited to see everything tomorrow!

I just read that author Sophie Kinsella died. I remember reading her Confessions of a Shopaholic series when I was younger and I adored them. Thankful to have her stories but she will be missed.

I got these books I preordered a long time ago in the mail today and it’s been so long since I actually ordered them I forgot about the TTPD sticker. 😂 It’s funny to think I didn’t even know about TLoAS then.

you’re kidnapped. the characters from the last show you watched are coming to rescue you I’m not going to survive am I. 😪

Enough time has passed… Overall I like the music in Wicked better than Wicked For Good (don’t get me wrong I still like the music just a smidge less) HOWEVER, I like the movie Wicked For Good itself better than part 1. I don’t know what that means about me, probably nothing. 😂

Sometimes you just gotta mix a packet of strawberries and cream oatmeal with a packet peaches and cream oatmeal and call it a day.
