It’s “sit on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and romance novel” o’clock

Happy pub day to Not You Again by Erin La Rosa! Great time loop romance with a slow burn opposites-attract relationship & enough humor to temper some of the heavier stuff. Loved reading how creatively everyone coped with the time loop! 📚💙 @erinlarosa.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy pub day to An Academic Affair by Jodi McAlister! Fake marriage turned real with plenty of banter and (some) pining in this sweet rivals-with-depth romance. I really love this author's voice! 📚💙 #BookSky @jodimca.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

1/2 Went into "get off my lawn!" mode yesterday when some feral neighbor kids smeared mud on my car RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I was standing 15 feet away, yelled "HEY" & they scampered.

Craving a piece of fresh-baked apple pie & a glass of apple cider like I used to get this time of year before I moved 1000 miles south. I don't miss much from living up north, but it was delicious & always made me feel seasonal and cozy in a way that fresh squeezed orange juice never has.

October reading wrap-up! Somehow I managed to read more books than September, despite October being especially chaotic. Mix of mostly digital ARCs & library books, with one physical library book from the stack I checked out earlier in the month. If you have a free library, use it! #BookSky 💙📚

I need a smaller life. I need better boundaries and I need to say "no" more. I need a nap and it's only 9am. I also need cookies, and I don't care if it's only 9am. I need breakfast cookies to become an accepted thing.

Anyone else get to that stage of the day where they know they just need to be on their own. Like that's enough human interaction for today thank you

A thread. Lost both parents last year to old age. They were hoarders with 4 storage units of multi-generational stuff. Been trying for the last to sift through the chaos for the valuable, the family pictures I didn't know existed, the gold bracelets that fell out of the pocket of an old coat.

In further tales of Facebook marketplace selling, people don't like to be told "no." Was asked if I'd take a trade instead of cash, I said no thanks, then was told they were going to trade cash for the item but now they weren’t because of my "bad attitude." 😆😆

Cold Comfort Farm! 1995 film based on a 1930s novel by Stella Gibons. Kate Beckinsale goes to live with country relatives in 1930s Sussex after her parents' death then charms everyone. Great cast with Joanna Lumley as her sophisticated BFF and Ian McKellen as a fire and brimstone preacher.

Emily Jane's American Werewolves has tons of cleverly written layers in this combination murder mystery & horror story with strong commentary on greed & capitalism. Unsettling & poignant, it's the perfect book for spooky season! @emilyjaneauthor.bsky.social 📚💙 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

If you're ever looking to test your frustration tolerance and learn just how flaky other people are, try selling things on facebook marketplace. Usually people are awesome, but sometimes they make me question everything I thought I knew about manners and basic human interactions lol.

I'm ignoring them right now! 💙📚

Happy pub day to Willing Prey by Allie Oleander! I expected the high spice but the thoughtful story with satisfying character & relationship development (and humor) was a happy bonus! New-to-me author who I'll definitely read again! 🌶️📚💙 @allieoleander.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy pub day to Dealing with a Desperate Demon by Charlotte Stein! 4.5 stars, @charlottestein.bsky.social writes body positivity and acceptance so well! It's a great second installment in her magical realism romance series, can't wait for the the next one! 🌶️📚💙 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I cannot articulate all the reasons why I love this ridiculously bonkers movie.

This one is my favorite recent eBay listing, because unicorns still make my inner 11-year-old (and outer 52-year-old) squee with happiness 🦄💓 #eBay #Vintage #GenX #unicorn #80s www.ebay.com/itm/36589810...

Here's a little visual serotonin boost for today, a collage of some vintage items I've recently put in my shops on eBay and FBMP. Very cottage/grandma core, which is my main vibe, but I do love the GenX nostalgia too. :) #Vintage #CottageCore #GrandmaCore #GenX www.ebay.com/usr/beborden0

September reading wrap-up, read more than I thought this month! Lots of fun books, mostly ARCs and a couple library borrows. As always, my heartfelt thanks to authors whose literary magic transported me! @laurenappelbaum.bsky.social @sloanebrooksauthor.bsky.social @charlottestein.bsky.social

I also count rearranging my bookshelf and hauling home my library books as workouts 💙📚

Happy pub day to The Underachiever's Guide to Love and Saving the World by Sloane Brooks! It's a lot of fun & hit my favorite tropes: found family, enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity, plus snark & a dragon! This was a treat :) 💙📚 @sloanebrooksauthor.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

That creeping feeling that I've worked very hard at all the wrong things for a very long time and gotten exactly nowhere. I have never felt so useless and ineffectual in my entire life. Honestly, what is even the point?

A not-so-great morning is unexpectedly brightened by new NetGalley romance ARCs from Charlotte Stein and Kasie West! Thank you Kasie and @charlottestein.bsky.social for lifting my spirits, I'm really looking forward to these! 💙📚

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. 🍫🍕🍿📺😴📚❤️
