I received the BEST book mail this week, a pr package from author @craigmontgomery.bsky.social with the second book in his queer YA space fantasy series, A Sky So Hollow! I read the first book, A Circle of Stars, last year and absolutely DEVOURED it. I can’t wait to dive back in! 🌈🪐💫 #booksky

I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with doom scrolling the way I have the past couple of weeks. Maybe during the traumatic breakup of my early twenties? I do not like the way this feels!

ACTUAL MAGIC: Caspian is as far from a magical chosen one as you can get, which makes rooming with the ACTUAL Chosen One impossible. When romance blooms, can Arik's prophetic fate keep him and Caspian apart, or will the two discover that some magic is stronger than others? #questpit #ya #rf #w

Just kneaded my first homemade pasta dough. 🤞🏻 Hope I did it ok. I also learned, if anyone has made you homemade pasta, you were not appreciative enough. Go thank them. Now.

Trying to read in the afternoon is making me fall asleep recently, which is such a bummer.

Just spent a good seven minutes crawling around the bathroom on my hands and knees trying to find the source of what sounded like dripping water. We have an old home and the previous owners DIY’d the bathroom, so I’m wary. After my thirteenth lap, I think hmm. Is that actually a clock ticking?

The November Risk Takers box with the A Circle of Stars special edition is available!!!

An hour of revision work feels like running a marathon to my brain. So frustrating that this part of the writing process overwhelms me. How do I swap sides to writer who doesn’t like drafting but excels at revisions? 😂

Spending 4.5 hours this morning prepping tax paperwork for author stuff, knowing that I’m gonna have a multi-thousand dollar tax bill for last year, sure is a lot of fun. When does the withholding of funds kind of protesting begin?

I haven’t exactly kept track, because I don’t hate myself, but I’ve eaten approximately half a tray of brownies over the last few days. Everything is fine, though. 👌🏻👍🏻 A-OK.

Reading #booksky, my brain says book-ski, not book sky. Just a cute little booksky.

Hi #booksky, I’m an author and I wrote this book! If you’ve never seen me yell about it, these are some niche things you might find interesting about it. It’s upper YA, queer-norm, and about a chosen one who gets thrown across the universe and finds out being chosen isn’t so great. Say hi! 👋🏻

This is neat! And helpful!

Still screaming forever about this! Also, the photo challenge is always fun. Go enter if you have some pretty shots!

I thoroughly enjoyed finding this from Carter and now I want in. So, time for a lore drop. I make no promises on how far I’ll get.
