I spent way too much time laughing at the replies, the internet can truly be a wild and hilarious and wonderfully absurd place 😆😆😆

March 2026 reading roundup! It was definitely a better reading month than February (both in quality and available reading time). I especially enjoyed B.K. Borison's Good Spirits (*finally* got to read it after months on the library hold list) & Kate Clayborn's The Paris Match (ARC). 💙📚 #BookSky

Thousands of people attended “No Kings" protests in Sanford, Orlando, Cocoa, and other spots across Central Florida to protest policies from President Donald Trump's administration.

I saw a Snowy Owl yesterday in Central Florida! Coming home at 2am & it was in the parking lot in my headlights. It looked at me, grabbed its snack then flew over me. Must be wintering here. Not fully white so it's a female or juvenile, pic below isn't mine but very much what I saw. So cool!

Never had trouble with seasonal allergies before but between the ridiculous amount of pollen and the controllled burns in the area, the last week has been awful. I'm so sorry to the allergy sufferers, I never realized how bad this makes you feel! 😵‍💫🤧😭

Yes, I would absolutely read the heck out of a straight-up romance series focusing on Gen X main characters! There aren't enough of these, and I strongly feel like it would help fulfill a subset of romance readers that's currently being ignored and underserved #BookSky 📚💙

This is literally the only thing i have the bandwidth to read about today

Putting it out into the universe that today is going to be an amazing day! (You have no choice Friday, you *will* submit to the power of positive thinking!)

My 6th grade social studies teacher gave us xeroxed excerpts of Clan of the Cave Bear to read. No permission slips or consent forms, she just handed them out in class one day. I was also reading Stephen King and V.C. Andrews as a tween in the 80s, it was a wild & lawless time for young readers 🥰 💙📚

1. Currently reading a romance with a parrot as a secondary character 🦜 Didn't know about the parrot beforehand and this is my second romance read with a surprise parrot in one week, kind of a weird coincidence. 💙📚 2. It's a breakfast-for-dinner kind of day, after-hours pancakes are the best! 🥞🥰

Let this be a friendly reminder for the rest of the week, please and thank you. 💗 Credit @jess-a-creates.bsky.social 💗

It's been two years 💔 miss you Mom

A telling sign of the local collective mood & the need for self-soothing: I don't ever remember a time when so many people kept their outside holiday lights up well into March. I hope it's giving the people who live there some joy & I really hope their HOAs aren't giving them grief about it.

Plus, the library staff is always happy to see you and they love to talk with you about your book choices! 💙📚

As a semi-functioning adult you'd think I'd have learned by now that reading before work inevitably leads to being late for work. Despairing, once again, that I'm not independently wealthy & thus doomed to a life of non-leisure 💙📚

Also, the mystery-solving should be aided by a charming but gruff sheriff's deputy who has become slightly jaded by life. And there's a bakery in the village 👍💙📚

Man. The world fucking is on fire. So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people. Live whats left of your only life. If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul. Fuck the haters.

Hot take: don’t hate-read books. One wild and precious life, and you want to spend it mad? DNF and go find something you like.

Oh, do romance readers read too much? Of the wrong kind of books, you say? In the wrong kind of language, you say? Are they too easy, too sexy, too fun, too silly? And we’re pretending this is not The argument that people have made against romance since (checks library) 1785?

There was a turtle at my front door today! I assume he was canvassing for his favorite political candidates but he ran away before I could ask 🐢

Loved Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson! Cozy mystery with found family vibes and a slow-burn romance, mixed with a dash of self-discovery. Love this author's voice, she writes with such a great blend of snark and sincerity! #BookSky 💙📚 app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/4bfb...

Underworld, Book 3 in the Mousebane & Red Mist series by C.J. Powell is out now. Really loved the first two books, and I am sorely tempted to re-up my KU subscription just for this one! #BookSky 💙📚 www.bookbub.com/books/underw...

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

Kind of a gray day today both inside and out, sharing this old picture of a beautiful hibiscus from my dad's front garden to lighten things up a little 🌱🌺 #BloomScrolling #Gardening #FlowerFeed #Flowers

Today I am manifesting a kinder and more loving world ❤️💙

It was a slow reading month for me, life very rudely got in the way. 🙄 #BookSky 💙📚

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) 💛 #iceland #northernlights #aurora #peace

Yes, this! Libby and hoopla are such wonderful apps, if you have access to them through your library they are free and fantastic and you should be using them to get some digital books! 📚💙

It was so tempting to call out sick today and just stay in bed reading. I didn't though, and I *really* think I should get some extra adulting points for that. #BookSky 💙📚

I thought I knew what I was getting with A Little Buzzed by Alys Murray (high spice, some workplace relationship drama, eventually an HEA) but I was surprised & pleased by the level of emotional depth in this layered romance. 4.5 stars! #BookSky 📚💙 app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/75ba...

Substitute "Libby digital borrow" for "Kindle download" but yes, same 😄 #BookSky 💙📚 credit: @mydarkromantasy

I know it’s a cliche but books have never let me down. During every really shit time in my life, they’ve always been an escape and a way to not be myself or in my circumstances for a little while. If I wasn’t a reader I genuinely don’t know what I’d do.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

My TBR is taking on a life of its own. Thankfully it's digital because physical book piles of this magnitude would be a danger to life and limb #BookSky 💙📚

Re-watching Schitt's Creek after a couple years & loving it but how could I have forgotten how much I dislike Chris Elliott in every single role I've ever seen him in?? It takes a special kind of talent to be that consistently unlikeable, Roland Schitt gets on *all* my nerves lol

What football teams are playing at the Bad Bunny/Green Day concert?

I got pulled into my current read and now I'm late for work. There are worse ways to start a Friday #BookSky 💙📚

You just made an enemy for life.

In a world gone mad It's still Moose Monday. Hang in there folks We're going to put an end to the fascist attempt to take over the country.

yeah, I know I am writing my silly little posts but it is worth noting that I'm filled with apocalyptic dread at every moment, and it's nearly impossible to find meaning in the world right now.

I feel like we’re living in a dystopian novel so dystopian that even if Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury had collaborated on a book, the three of them together couldn’t have dreamt this shit up.
