24/7 Antiques Roadshow UK means the Roku stick has paid for itself 😂 I love the Michael Aspel years. These are "my" experts!

Big Cheez-Its are sorely underrated, IMO. Its hard to find them around here, too 😫

📚 ☕

April 2026 #HarlequinBooks selections. I will never say no to a new Carla Kelly historical 🤩 #romancelandia #booksky

Mr B has declared my work day is over, LOL

Geesh. I applied to one school, early acceptance, and that was in the early 2000s. (Come to think of it, that was my process for both undergrad & grad school.) I would've had a meltdown applying to more than 8! I *looked* at a bunch, but only applied to one each time. I can't be that f'ing lucky 🤨

It's the annual Ask a Manager salary survey! Every year, vastly fewer men fill this out than women. Men, please share your salary info (anonymously) so we have concrete salary comparisons to inform pay negotiations and fight the pay gap

So content 🥰

Only the most balanced meals for my little man 😇

Quelle surprise 🙄

4 years ago today, this little man waltzed into my heart and claimed it forever ❤️ Happy Gotcha Day, Mr B!

The March 2025 #TBRChallenge is "Tropetastic!" I picked a new entry on Mount TBR that includes some of my favorite tropes (friends-to-lovers, second chance, BFF's sibling, musician), and it was a pleasant, sweet, quiet read. Would recommend! #booksky #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

It feels like these were around for a lot longer than 2 years. Ah, the childhood sense of time taking forever to pass 🥲

happy World Plumbing Day to all who celebrate.

@superwendy.bsky.social - I saw #12 and thought of you, LOL! Folks in the comments are fighting to be the retriever of the blocks 😂

Happy International Women's Day.

I'm giving away this hardcover copy of Tender Is The Storm, by Johanna Lindsey! Winner will be chosen on March 22. Directions for how to enter are at the link in bio 📚🧡

FYI

When you have had so much Kool Aid that you can *taste* the poison and still NGAF 🙄 I note the lack of named editors in this lil diatribe. Maybe they are AI hallucinations?

The Conjure Man Dies (1932): This read is flat-out amazing. A++, would recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzle mysteries with twists! #booksky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

February 2026 #HarlequinBooks selections. #romancelandia 📚💙

The expression on Smudge's face - he just realized why you best not mess with Longtails 😆

The February 2026 #TBRChallenge is "Vintage," which is, of course, the name of my game 😆 I chose a 1960 nurse romance with a judgmental heroine, her Fabian-like hero, and the adorable plot moppet that brings them together #romancelandia 📚https://vintageromancereader.dreamwidth.org/24630.html

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

It's #ReadingRainbowDay, in celebration of host LeVar Burton's birthday! One of the longest-running children's television shows in American history—revived this past October with new host Mychal Threets!— #ReadingRainbow has introduced generations of children to the wonder of books. #💙📚 #Booksky

Happy Valentine's Day, Romancelandia. Keep offering the world love in all its forms and identities. And don't forget to love on yourself.

Love June and Jack's cat! A dead ringer for my own precious little man 🥰

Yesterday's thrifting adventures. The library sale proves to be slim pickings (left), tho the secondhand store proved fairly fruitful (right).

Here are my 2c: vintageromancereader.dreamwidth.org/24364.html

Dear Harlequin: WTAF??? Just last month I was cheering that you were still publishing MMPB, and now you tell your authors this?! This is devestating and infuriating! HR needs the stability of your support now more than ever 🤬 #romancelandia 📚 youtu.be/1Ky6xq8vOMw?...

The fun fact of the day!

This is amazing

Reporting in from rural America: This piece of shit can fuck right off, give us actual fucking doctors and nurses

Its stuff like this that makes me long for OH, state of my undergrad degree 🥰

My favorite little man "helping" with the blankie 🥰

The January 2026 #TBRChallenge is "Still Here." I chose a book from a series I'd started by an auto-read, auto-buy author, but unfortunately it didn't do much for me 😑 📚 #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Quoted for truth

I never thought there would be a day when I have to buy a compression sleeve due to a crafting injury, but here I am. Funny how I never had tennis elbow when I was actually playing tennis...

January 2026 #HarlequinBooks selections ❤️ 📚 #romancelandia It appears that Harlequin, at least, will continue to publish in MMPB format through the rest of the year 🎉
