Name your favourite film about friendship.

i won’t let twitter’s new update fear monger me into not posting my work on that platform anymore, although i’d love to build a community on here for those who enjoy my work. feel free to follow me!!

Reminder that if you’re looking for indie books to check out, I’ve got a handy masterlist of my book reviews with genres included! Indie book reviews: rebeccacrunden.com/indie-book-r... All blog reviews: rebeccacrunden.com/book-reviews/ 📚💙

I have managed to get through the holidays relatively unscathed and rewarded myself by buying myself lots of cute colorful pens for my 2026 book planner/journal. Because if there’s one thing I’m gonna do, it’s buy pens and notebooks.

QUESTION: There seems to be a LOT of debate on Reddit about which website platform is best for author profiles and self-publishing. Shopfiy vs Squarespace vs Wordpress etc etc. Which platform do you use and why? #AmWritingMemoir #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I don't think I'll finish before the New Year, but I only have 1,258 books completely unsorted. Like... just in a big pile. That's a hell of an improvement and from there I can start tackling the 11,385 that are in broad groupings like WW2 or Africa. lol Step by Step, Inch by Inch.... #booksky

I’ve been so lucky to sell hundreds of copies of my debut novel this year. Once I accepted I wasn’t going to sell a million copies, the realization that dozens of copies would be a triumph set in. Thanks to everyone here who bought a copy, read a page, or left a review. #booksky #self-published

December 2025 Books Thread 📚💙

📚🗓️ Day 1 of @backlogreadathon.com This is my second year hosting a chill-vibes readathon! To start the proceedings, I’m finishing up a cozy romantasy and a nonfiction audiobook, both from the library. #BacklogReadathon

This book just made me mad again about the erosion of our rights. And a lot of it is males trying to hide their SAs. 😡 Everyone should be reading this and getting pissed off. As an attorney, I'm extra pissed at my profession. #booksky 📚 💙

my fav of the year: - This Inevitable Ruin (Matt Dinniman) - The Bedlam Bride (above) - The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook (above) - Strange the Dreamer Duology (sans romance) - Jason Pargin anything - Witchcraft for Wayward Girls (Grady Hendrix) - Lucky Day (Chuck Tingle) #books #reader #bookrecs

I need more indie film in my life. Anyone have good recs for that?

No A I ever touched any part of these books! (sure hope the graphics are free of art slop!) Perfect if you love Supernatural, monsters, magic, and mayhem. True enemies to (maybe) more, slow burn, more adventure and action than romance, and yes, she can save herself. #readersofbluesky #fantasybooks

Book#55. The Haunting of Paynes Hollow by Kelley Armstrong (2025) This horror novel has a strong gothic atmosphere. I quite liked how it uses a well-known legend as a jumping off point. There were certain characters I wish hadn’t died but overall I loved how the story wrapped up. #Booksky

2025 book wrap up! I read a lot of good books this year, and they deserve some love! I'm going to go through the seven or so of my favorites that I read this year, in no particular order. I will cheat on some of my entries and put multiple books or series because it is my list and I can! #1 is...

Still screaming, crying, & throwing up omg 😭😍 I've missed and love them all so much 🖤🖤 #booksky 🌈📚💙📚🏒📚

Books, poems, film, etc. may require retraining a brain to slow down. And it's important bc while scrolling social media pushes the happy button, it rarely provides actual happiness. It's like food with no nutrients; your brain ate a lot but it's still starving for things that scrolling can't give.

yeahhhh i thought they were kinda helpful at first but they’ve been so misused. i took myself off the ones i’d been subscribed to a while back. just individually blocking and muting (oh the joy)

I’m officially back from my holiday and I’ve already posted my (hopefully) weekly update in the community discord. If you want to keep up with my projects, then discord, Kofi, and Patreon are the way to go. Kofi: ko-fi.com/desiheart013 Discord: discord.gg/PPSFnwkRTU Patreon: patreon.com/DesiHeart

Movie idea: A depressed screenwriter learns to love life again after he meets a quirky, free-spirited burger restaurant. Call it "Manic Pixie Dream Grill."

Seconding writing everywhere! I try to keep a notebook on me all the time, though historically I've also written quite a bit on post-it notes and other flat things. And honestly sometimes the words just flow better when you're not in your usual typing spot/study/bedroom.

Day 26 of #FantasyIndiesDecember 2026 books I'm excited for? I don't know yet. 🤣 Happy Friday! 🎉 #WritingCommunity

yo if you got Christmas money, go buy some art. and of course I'm gonna pitch you my list of folks

My newest Realm of Monsters novella where Callista and her girlfriend, Roxanne, go to the Underworld to save Joan, Callista's dead girlfriend, to bring her to her heavens. Lots of love, banter, angst, and heartbreak. a.co/d/gK1Tl2o #WritingCommunity. #readingcommunity.
