Headed to DC for a bookstore crawl today!

We as gay people get to choose our seasons

Worked on the latest draft of my novel all morning and got so much done. I forget sometimes that all of the sitting around thinking about the novel is also writing

Groff can do no wrong. My favorites were Annunciation, Between The Shadow and The Soul, and Birdie.

Was trying to read, but the boyfriend wouldn’t get off my back!

Hosting a February read-a-long over in Instagram! If you’d like to join, go vote for your pick in my post!

If you haven’t grabbed a copy of JUST WATCH ME, please do so ASAP! I love sad girl novels, and if you vibe with the likes of Melissa Broder and Jen Beagin, I think this one is for you

Trying to hit 30k followers on Instagram, since I’m querying an essay collection and an agent said I needed to boost my followers a little. I need a little over 100, so fingers crossed! Hopefully that’ll be enough to finally land an agent lol

Brainstorming which books I might want to do read-a-longs with in 2026! I’m thinking a classic, something from a genre I don’t typically read, a short story collection, maybe a book that’s a bit daunting to approach on one’s own…hmmm

Finished The Little Friend and I need to lie down

Almost died taking today’s book post, but I think it turned out cute!

Already read two of the books on my December TBR, so feeling pretty good about that! (Also just realized I’d read them in the order they’re stacked…should I pick up Yiyun Li’s next?! We will see!)

I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much but feel like I’m inching closer to some exciting news

Haven’t posted on here in a while, but fingers crossed one of the agents who asked for full likes my manuscript

Got three requests for full, fingers crossed something maybe comes of it?

I can tell ive been busy because I haven’t even had time to be on social media…

Saw my momma and granny this weekend and my heart is full

Listening to an audiobook at the gym and hating every minute of it

Went to Parnassus today!!

Started THREE DAYS OF JUNE!

Everyone’s always talking about Herzog, but what about Hiszog?!?

I keep forgetting to post my bookish updates here! My December reads

All prepped and ready for my January bookstagram posts!

Went to see Momma and Granny for an early Christmas 💛

Tried balancing my 2025 anticipated books on my head for a cute insta pic, but with little success

I have so many authors whose work I want to prioritize in 2025!!

Got some good reads in this month!

Saw wicked. It was good. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars, maybe 4 if I hadn’t been wearing jeans.

Went to the @nationalbook.bsky.social last night and it was so fun!

Also my current read is THE DARK SIDE OF SKIN, and it’s SO GOOD!!

My most recent haul—finally used gift cards I got back in August for my birthday—thrilled to have these!

Very into this years @nationalbook.bsky.social translated fiction books!!

Guess we’re doing this—and by this, I mean buddy reading a fantasy series I never thought I’d even consider before

Told my Granny I was going to sleep my way to the top, and she said, “oh, I think you gotta be good looking for that, don’t you?”

Who’s read for the @nationalbook.bsky.social awards this week?!?!

This sound so good! Immediately adding to my TBR!

Social media is like high school in that eventually we all move on (even if we change schools), but we will always be haunted by that one thing we said that we hope everyone forgot but know someone has proof of

Hardly read anything this month, but thinking about how much reading I got done last month…

The good news is I’ve never been funny, so I have no expectations of starting, just because I’m on a new platform m

Tried taking pictures during lunch at work and kept getting caught, but anyway, I’m reading @otroedgargomez.bsky.social ALLIGATOR TEARS and it’s great, y’all should pre-order!

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I need this now

My biggest dream in life is to be smart and slutty at the same time

Missing my old reading nook…

Currently reading…

Still adjusting to this space—are we officially committing to blue sky now? I can’t handle the whiplash of moving from one digital place to the next

Guess I’m back to posting here for awhile

There are too many apps

Currently reading and loving Holler, Child!

Had too much fun at the beach today!
