Fantasy overconsumption? HA! bethovermyer.com/2024/11/15/t...

Oh, and happy first day of autumn! 🍁 🍂

Happy Hobbit Day!

Happy 88th birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit!

When was the last time a review made you add a book to your TBR pile? Me: less than five minutes ago. The Wee Writing Lass recommended The Idylls of the Queen by Phyllis Ann Karr. A murder mystery in Camelot? I. am. all. IN.

I have signed more petitions this year than I can remember.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Glue sniffing and ai brain rot Swell

Apparently, Bowie threw a pity party of epic proportions while I was out yesterday. According to my mom, he cried and cried, sat in my room and cried, cried some more, came out and yowled. He wuvs me.

Me: I don't want to read my book again. I just read it and am tired of it. My mom: You need sherbet for the brain. Me: ? Mom: To cleanse your brain palate.

Happy Tolkien Tuesday!

Sauron: I see you! Pippin: ... Sauron: I see your thoughts! Pippin's thoughts:

Happy Caturday!

Just a girl and her books. mybook.to/TheGobletsIm... mybook.to/BladeAndBone...

All I want to write right now are cozy seasonal fantasy books. *stares at WIP* You heard me. #AmWritingFantasy

Things you can never have too much of, apparently: - books - tea mugs - cat hair

Just a girl and her books. mybook.to/TheGobletsIm... mybook.to/BladeAndBone...

Is there going to be tea? A cat or five? A time to sit around and simply read? No? Sorry, I can't come. I'm washing my hair.

I sing "Mr. Orange Guy" to the tune of "Mr. Blue Sky" to Bowie the Orange Catto.

Use this instead of [fill in the blank]. #Booksky #WritingCommunity

Kept reading "DUI checkpoint" as "DIY checkpoint" and could only picture some gran getting caught knitting behind the wheel and pleading, "It's not mine, officer; I'm holding the yarn for a friend."

The trilogy is complete! Love isn't safe. Power isn't kind. And destiny doesn't care what Verve wants--only what she's willing to sacrifice. #BookSky 📚💙 mybook.to/BladeAndBone...

How many authors have YOU read 5 or more titles by? tinyurl.com/3sn8u5yt

Reminder from Samwise Gamgee: "there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it's worth fighting for."

Happy #Caturday!

Are other folks having issues uploading video since the update?

Reading is NOT dead! www.wave3.com/2025/09/02/s...

I wear pain like a candy necklace. Grape regrets. Lemon rumors and watermelon lies. So many flavors. All leave the same taste. And I eat each memory Till my belly is sour, My tongue raw, And the noose that was a necklace Tightens just a little bit more.

Silly cat and his author pal. Buy books so the author pal can buy the silly cat more treats: viewauthor.at/BethOvermyer

My September newsletter celebrates Bilbo and Frodo's birthday! The email sends in two days, and I'll be giving away a pair of Sting (the sword, not the musician) earrings to one lucky winner. They glow in the dark! authorbethovermyer.substack.com

This is the best shot of one of the stickers I was handing out yesterday at the author fair.

I could really use some good news. I have none of my own, so please share yours with me. TIA!

Aaaand I'm back from an author fair. Three hours and I forgot to take a picture of my table!

Today I got to encourage someone who loves to read and wants to write but was overwhelmed by the prospect of getting started. "Bite-sized chunks. Just sit down, write one sentence and then another. Have fun with it." What other advice should I have given her? #AmWriting

Happy Tolkien Tuesday!

Just a reminder: I don't argue with randos on the internet. Huge waste of time.

Karl Urban, man. What a great actor.

Just got groceries delivered and the kitten -- who just ate a large meal of crunchies -- attacked the rotisserie chicken (luckily still in its protective dome) and GROWLED at me when I separated her from her prize MY CHILD YOU ARE NOT AN ACTUAL PANTHER YOU ARE A HOUSE PANTHER

Read what you enjoy, not what you *think* you *should* enjoy.
