TFW you made two eBay sales yesterday, making a total profit around $40 but on the way to drop off your packages at the post office you pick up a bolt in one tire. Cost of tire replacement: $51 🙄 #CouldHaveBeenWorseIGuess

Life has been kind of a grim hustle for a long time. 😶 Today I took a break from almost everything & it was awesome. ♥️ I ate fun food & watched 2 movies (re-watched Galaxy Quest & watched the new Superman). Even took an afternoon nap then read a fun rom-com ARC. 10/10, highly recommend. 🍫🍕🍿📺😴📚❤️

Happy pub day to We Met Like This by Kasie West! An ultimately satisfying but truly slow burn second-chance romance, with a healthy dash of self-actualization along the way. #KasieWest 💙📚 www.netgalley.com/book/556220/...

Happy pub day to Mourner for Hire by Caitlin Moss! This sweet story with an edge has a clever premise that paid off, great dialogue, and a satisfying theme of forgiveness and found family. New-to-me author that I'll definitely be reading again! 💙📚 www.netgalley.com/book/660840/...

I don't know what this virus is that's like COVID but isn't COVID, but it's tearing through my family right now and it. Is. Miserable. I haven't felt this bad since the last time I actually had COVID, but 3 at-home tests came back neagative so 🤷‍♀️ Take good care of yourselves people!

Preparing for another day of too many things to do and not nearly enough resources to do them all, let alone do them well.

Happy pub day to The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso! A great blend of fantasy, historical fiction, & romance in this complex and bittersweet take on the (literal) perils of revisionist history. 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy pub day to Here for a Good Time by Pyae Moe Thet War! A great mix of genres (romance, adventure, mystery) that sometimes felt a bit disjointed. The pacing was a little uneven but once the action kicks in hold on for a great ride! 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy belated pub day to Joy Moody is Out of Time by Kerryn Mayne! Loved this one! There's lots going on in this cleverly constructed and satisfyingly twisty mystery, it keeps you guessing right up to the emotional end. Out now, go buy it! 💙📚https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7269609727

Happy pub day to The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective by Jo Nichols! A lively & twisty whodunnit that pulls you in from the start, with a strong focus on found family and taking care of one's own. Loved it! 💙📚https://www.netgalley.com/book/489133/review/1346617

Most of the time I really like working from home mostly because of the flexible work hours. But not on days like today, when someone in a neighboring apartment *really* mishandled whatever they cooked for lunch. It smells like they set dog food on fire then tried to put it out with BBQ sauce.

Happy pub day to The Incredible Kindness of Paper by Evelyn Skye! A sweet & poignant romance with a thread of magical realism, with some of my favorite tropes: childhood friends-to-lovers & second chance romance. A quick read that was over too soon! 4.5 stars 💙 📚 🌶️ www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Lately I'm getting really tired of reality, but you know what never lets me down? Books. Even the books I didn't enjoy, they still had the amazing power to transport me elsewhere for a little while. 💙📚

July might have been a personal washout but fortunately the reading was great! My thanks, as always, to all the authors who elevate my mundane everydays into something extraordinary. This month was mostly a mix of new-to-me library borrows & ARCs, with a pick-me-up Emily Henry re-read thrown in. 💙📚

It has already been a DAY & it's not even half over. Unhappy call to T-Mobile for a still-unresolved issue, Yahoo email still down (that I use for work), my work-from-home peace & quiet fully shattered by a huge police presence outside my window serving a warrant to the apartment building next door.

Someone gifted me with a bag of these dark chocolate keto chocolate clusters & they are surprisingly delicious! Both grateful & sad that I now know these exist because buying these with any kind of frequency would absolutely wreck my grocery budget. #NomNom #DarkChocolateIsThePerfectHealthFood 🍫

It's so flippin hot outside! 🔥

Been there, at least twice this week. Romance is *always* a good choice! 🌶️💙📚

On day 3 of a persistent headache, self-medicating with memes. This one is 100% true, from 5th grade on I usually had a book stashed in my backpack that had questionable content "not suitable for children." And as a latchkey kid I had a *lot* of adult-free time on my hands after school. 💙📚

Time for a new therapist. 👍🤓💙📚

Happy pub day to the fantastic The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam by Megan Bannen! Lots of humor and danger in this romantasy, loved Rosie and Adam together! Sad that it's the last in the series, but looking forward to whatever the author writes next. 💙📚 www.netgalley.com/book/553683/...

100% accurate #RecreationalDisassociation 🤓📚💙

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers."

Also just learned that one of my neighbors threatened another neighbor today at musket-point. A musket. In 2025. 😶 The 4th of July is usually a chaotic around here but this one seems a little extra this year.

So, lightning struck this afternoon where my town had the fireworks display ready for tonight and set everything on fire. Thankfully no injuries but it set off the fireworks prematurely so the main event is cancelled. It feels like a metaphor for something. Or a sign from above. Maybe both. 🤷‍♀️😆

My anxiety eye twitches have graduated to anxiety eyebrow twitches. That's new.

Happy pub day to History Lessons by Zoe B. Wallbrook! Smart & twisty mystery, college professor FMC, sharply written & satisfying. Not my usual read (although it does have a touch of romance) and I liked it a lot! Would for sure read this author again! 💙📚 #BookSky www.netgalley.com/book/561200/...

Happy pub day to The Spirit of Love by Lauren Kate! Nice mix of humor and tension in this quick & fun magical realism romance with an interesting premise. Suspend disbelief for peak enjoyment! Part of a series but works as a standalone. 💙📚 www.netgalley.com/book/523370/...

My current read: Happily Ever Witch by indie author Cassandra Gannon. It's not hyperbole to say I've been trying to read this book for almost a year & a half. Life intervened in some pretty big ways between now & then, but I'm finally able to enjoy it. 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

End of June reading wrap-up! My numbers were higher than usual but I had a lot of ARCs this month, many of them were great reads. Also finished B.K Borison's Lovelight Farms series ♥️ & I loved the newest Ashley Poston! 💙📚🌶 #BookSky #StoryGraph

Whoops, ran out of Febreeze! #SundayMood 💙📚

Oh George, this #GenX baby is still sad you're gone.

Happy pub day to Fan Favorite by Adrienne Gunn! This 5 ⭐ rom-com was so much fun! Over-the-top in the very best way, and can I just say how much I love finding a new favorite author?!? More, please! #BookSky 💙📚🌶️ www.netgalley.com/book/553678/...

Excited for my newest library books! @ashleyposton.bsky.social #Libby #SeminoleCountyPublicLibrary 💙📚🌶

I mean, if I could I would totally move into a Little Free Library and never leave. 🤷‍♀️📚💙

I met Dan Aykroyd when he was shooting "My Girl" in my small hometown in Central Florida in 1991. He shook my hand and gave me an autograph and said the town reminded him of where he lived in Canada. He was so nice!

Going through a rough patch of anxiety-induced insomnia and it is absolutely messing with my mood and functioning. I feel very smooth-brained and detached these days, which I don't like. 😵‍💫

From my flower photo files, in case anyone needs any cheering up of the floral variety. 🌷🌱🌻🌸

Happy pub day to Magic & Manners, a great 2nd installment in Melissa Constantine's fun new-adult fantasy-romance series! There's low steam & high yearning in this one. Not a standalone, definitely read the previous book before this one or you'll be a bit lost. 💙📚 www.netgalley.com/book/652339/...

Happy pub day to A Most Unlikely Lady by Darcy McGuire! Book 4 in her "Queen's Deadly Damsels" hist-rom series. Great installment, a nice mix of romance and intrigue with dry wit throughout. Contains heavier topics so please heed the content warnings. 💙📚 #BookSky www.netgalley.com/book/622577/...

I'm in need of some whimsy today, so here is a lizard admiring a rain lily while perched on a plastic skull-shaped garden light (my Dad's overgrown flower bed a few years ago, that lizard just seemed to be having a really nice morning). 🦎🌱🌷
