Happy #caturday from Draco and Broccoli (or Leelee as we’ve been calling her, but don’t tell her mom 😂)! #catsky #cats

Fur nephew Draco is back for Thanksgiving week, and he brought his new, 13-week-old sister with him! Meet my new fur niece, Broccoli! #catsky

Had to put on my contractor's assistant hat today and go out to the stone yard to pick up some flagstone. This little guy, Moomoo, made the trip (and hauling 45 big pieces of heavy, muddy stone into the van while it was raining) totally worth it. Such a cutie with his little tire chewy! #dogsky

Thanksgiving week = #jamesbond marathon week for me. I love me some 007. I bought a box set of DVDs back in the day and even named my cat James. (He was with us for 19 years, passed in 2020.) He was GORGEOUS & when he walked into a room everybody would turn to him and say, “HeeyyyJaaames.” #catsky

I renewed my library card today 🎉 📚💙 C📖: Brimstone (I won a signed copy!) by Callie Hart C🎧: The Arcana Chronicles (a comfort fave reread) by Kresley Cole

Life is life-ing, and not in fun ways, so I haven’t had much time online. But last night I had a lil reprieve to attended the Carissa Broadbent event in town. Daughter of No Worlds is one of my favorite stories. Hearing Carissa talk about it, and having my OG hardback signed, made my week. 🖤❤️

The hallway #library is vibing tonight. #bookshelves 📚💙

I need a solid #smallbusiness office printer. Something that’s reliable and won’t crap out in 18 months. Doesn’t need to do anything fancy, just basic copying and lots of scanning. Drop a link to your fave 👇

I can’t wait I’m so excited for this! #frankenstein

ICYMI, our #DragonCon2025 Literary Guest of Honor, T. Kingfisher, joined The Late Show on the final day of con to talk about her many wonderful works of fiction. You can catch her full interview right here, but we don't recommend trying her cures for poisoning. youtu.be/RBBgLRoLpVE @dragoncon.org

One of my fave small presses will be at the Decatur Book Festival this weekend! I’ll have to swing by their booth after my volunteer shift. 🖤 Check them out if you’re going to the DBF on Saturday!

Just pulled this season’s spooky season reads off the shelves and made my stack! 🎃 I’ll dig into these after I finish Roots of Darkness and Dawn of the North (DotN is via ARC) from The Ashen series. 💙📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dark, contemporary mystery/thriller set around Halloween Fast-paced, twisty, late 30's FMC, suspenseful, & CATS! The cover & description imply a supernatural story; it's not. Content warning for SA (in the past, not graphic), murder, violence, light gore. Thanks @netgalley.bsky.social ! 💙📚⚡

Self-care Sunday on the back porch. Gorgeous weather, delicious tea, an entertaining ARC to read 👌 #booksky #teasky #porchlife

This morning’s frantic vacuuming, mopping, sanitizing, and deodorizing brought to you by an OCD crash out triggered by toxic family drama involving multiple phone calls before 11am.

I’ll be at the Atlanta event!

Happy Mabon! 🎃 🍁 Seemed like a good day to finally try this pumpkin cream AlaniNu, and I did not hate it (seems like most people did)!

Danny knows you want to come stay with us for #DragonCon2026. Tony told him. Get ready…. The Monday before each of these dates, we will post information about that specific onsale, including links where applicable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for @paperfury.bsky.social's debut adult horror novel! "You Did Nothing Wrong" took the rage, horror, & dread Drews' gave us in their YA horror novels to entirely new levels. This book pulls no punches; there are scenes that will haunt me forever. I loved it. Look for it in March 2026! 💙📚 🩸📚

I need to make a big work/job decision and it’s stressing me TF out.

If work doesn’t sort itself out by noon, I’m pulling down the damn Halloween decorations and doing something that is *actually* productive today instead of sitting around waiting for other people to do their jobs (like I did yesterday). 😤

Tonight we watched the first 4 episodes of S2 of Wednesday. It’s so good to be back at Nevermore 🖤💜 I’m glad I saved this for after Dragon Con, it helps with the PCD.

A library hold has been delivered! I’m reading All The Colors Of The Dark, by Chris Whitaker. I’ve had this book on hold since last winter and can’t wait to dive in. Today’s tea is Undertaker from CuriosiTea. Happy Saturday! #booksky #teasky

The color of my tea before and after adding lemon! This is "Magical Powers" from the Fantasy Trope Collection by Cliche Teas and has lemon verbena, lemon myrtle, butterfly pea, & stevia leaf. I added some honey as well as the lemon. YUM. #teasky

I finished my rewatch of all 6 seasons, and both movies, of #downtonabbey, so I am perfectly prepared for the Grand Finale movie releasing later this month! I should buy stock in Kleenex rfn.

Current audiobook is Nocticadia, by Keri Lake, and WOW am I enjoying the creepy, dark academia vibes! It's the perfect spooky season kickoff read for me. Now, I have to choose between 3 ARCs and some library holds coming due any day...tough decisions ahead. #booksky 📚💙

Today is my last big packing push for #Dragoncon. 48 hours from now I’ll be in my hotel room UNpacking! 😀

#tea and #downtonabbey tonight. The calm before the storm.

It’s #dragoncon crunch time—10 days to go! I’m still re-watching #downtonabbey and re-listening to the Crowns of Nyaxia series on audio. This past weekend, we celebrated the 1yr anniversary of the bookshop with one HELL of a party.

The #DragonCon2025 festival lineup 😉 is absolute 🔥! Excited to see 2 of my fave local DJs playing at Con for the first time this year. 🪩 💃🏻

Fifteen days until DragonCon! What are you doing to get ready? #BritTrack2025 #DragonCon2025 #Countdown

The only cure for my #Gildedage hangover is to rewatch #Downtownabbey. This will also help keep me from picking up a physical book before DragonCon. 😃 I’m currently re-listening to the first 3 books of the Crowns of Nyaxia series and will read this year’s installments after Con. 📚

#thegildedage finale was 15/10. Stupendous. Brilliant. All the feels. Now the long, long wait for a new season 😭

Time for a cup of #tea and the season finale of #thegildedage!

Visited the nephew at work on Book Lovers Day! Laziest bookseller ever lol. #caturday #catsky

Basically my life’s motto.

I’ve been slamming some fantasy reads this summer. Reread #throneofglass. Just finished #platedprisoner (I had mixed feelings but mostly enjoyed it). Now I’m gonna reread #crownsofnyaxia via audio this time. I have some library holds due soon, but for something different here’s my CR: #booksky

I've lived in Dekalb County ( #atlanta ) since 1999. We're moving next year & East Point (Fulton County) is a strong possibility. This would take me away from my stomping grounds of the most recent 15 years, where I have truly put down roots and where my best friends all live within a 5 min drive.

Went to visit the nephew at work, caught him napping on the job. #caturday

Tonight was brought to me by the letter P: Plated Prisoner (Gleam) and a pot pie 🥧 (chicken-bacon-veggie) from the corner market. My kind of party! #booksky #dinnersky

Story of my life.

20 chapters left in my #throneofglass reread. I’m going to enjoy it with one of my fave Cliche teas. #kingdomofash #booksky #teasky

Batch 1 is complete! This is my OG Caramel Apple recipe. #Riker thinks you’d like it. 6.5 weeks to #dragoncon ! 🐉 🍎 🥧 IYKYK

Repost if you like Raccoons, dumpsters, Snackie Snacks or reading. 🤣

I matched my #alaninu to my new nails. 💅

No cats here today for a Caturday post. Instead, a #cosplay post. Adding some stud mesh to my Star Trek punk band cosplay for #dragoncon. Just 2 months to go!
