I used to volunteer at my city’s film festival and we often had celebs come intro their new movie. The year Robert Duvall came, he bypassed all the fans waiting to talk to him and came to introduce himself and talk to us volunteers. The only guest to do that in the years I volunteered there.

Today’s the day

Books 18 & 19 of 2026 Death to Valentine’s by Catherine Cowles and Time Will Tell by Hannah Bonam-Young The Cowles short story I can’t even talk about bc I hated it that much (1/5), but the HBY story? SWOONING! HBY, please give Georgia and Callum a full novel! Please! 5/5 #booksky

Sterek just popped into my head and now I’m thinking about it and

Book 17 of 2026 Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley This wasn’t for me. I love me some fake dating, but the bakery part of it was too unrealistic for someone who worked in a bakery for five years. And for the love interest being a football player, there was no football ever. 2/5 #booksky

Well, finally watched Marty Supreme and… I never thought I’d see Timothee Chalamet get spanked, but here we are. #filmsky

A must watch!!!

Book 16 of 2026 Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson This was a such a lovely, lyrical read. I haven’t read much fiction in second person before, but I may seek out more after reading this. 4/5 #booksky

I just started watching the Burbs on Peacock and the Tom Hanks cameo in the first episode is hilarious! Love me a good murder mystery.

GO BENITO GO!! #SuperBowl #Halftime

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/b...

Book 15 of 2026 The Perfect Find by Tia Williams Tia Williams is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors. The film adaptation does not do these characters - or Jenna and Eric’s intensity - justice and I’m so glad I have this version to prefer. 4/5 #booksky

Hamnet is so good! So beautiful! I was not prepared! #filmsky

The ‘Opalite’ music video is really cute. I love that Taylor included all the other guests on her first Graham Norton episode.

Book 14 of 2026 Pinky Swear by Danielle Girard (ARC) Oy vey. How our MC, Lexi, didn’t get herself killed playing Sherlock Holmes, I’ll never know. Just let the FBI handle it, my God. You don’t need to do all this, Lexi. 2/5 #booksky

It’s only February and I already have so many ARCs stacked up that I might have to spend a month just reading them. #booksky

I love my little $15 #thrifthaul

RELEASE DAY! I cannot believe Facts and Feelings is out in the world. I’m so grateful for the reception! If you love childhood friends to lovers to strangers stories told on a dual timeline, you might want to check it out ❤️ #indieauthor #romancebook #friendstoloversromance

Book 13 of 2026 Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia This was so fun and so chaotic. Oh my God, the chaos! I don’t totally forgive the love interest for what he did to the FMC in the past, but I can move past it. 3.75/5 #booksky

WAKE UP! the trailer of devil wears prada 2 !!

January wrap-up! #booksky

We did it? WE DID IT!

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

No. No, no, no, no

Book 12 of 2026 Reprieve by James Han Mattson I call reprieve! Get me out of here! I understand what the author wanted to do with this book, but oh my god, it’s so boring. And so mismarketed. 2/5 #booksky

There’s SO MUCH to unpack in the teaser for Daredevil Born Again s2

Book 11 of 2026 Willing Prey by Allie Oleander I was having a ball with this book for the first half. But it became very repetitive and the novelty of it wore off fast. Adored Shane, though. 3.75/5 #booksky

If you ever question why we need artists in the world, watch Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix #filmsky

What a time to be a kid. I wish someone still gave me free pizza for reading so much #booksky

Book 10 of 2026 Go Luck Yourself by Sara Raasch I think my expectations were too high for this one after tNBK was so close to a 5-star for me. This one didn’t have enough development for me and the Kris/Loch relationship suffered because of it for me. 3/5 #booksky

Ice, ice, and more ice

I have electricity!!!! Took 6+ hours, but it’s back! Yay!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Book 9 of 2026 The Dragon’s Bride by Katee Robert This is the first Katee Robert book I’ve read and the first of her monster romance series, but I don’t know if I jive with her. I still love the cover, but the story wasn’t a favorite. 2.5/5 #booksky

This winter storm has barely even started and I’ve already been without power for three hours. Doesn’t bode well, Oncor.

I went #thrifting this morning while the rest of the city panic bought grocery stores. Not a bad haul for $5 (with $20 credit). #thrifthaul

The fact that Weapons also got nominated this year on top of Sinners sweeping… Is the Academy finally waking up to horror? #Oscars #filmsky

‘SINNERS’ has broken history as the MOST-NOMINATED FILM OF ALL TIME at the Oscars with 16 nominations See the full nominees list: bit.ly/OscarNoms26

F1 got a Best Picture nom? #Oscars #filmsky

OSCAR NOMINEE MICHAEL B JORDAN!!!!!!!! #Oscars #filmsky

Sinners is sweeping, y’all, oh my God #Oscars

I picked up a few more movies at the library today since we’re about to be snowed in for a couple days. #library #libraryhaul #filmsky

Book 8 of 2026 The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch I honestly was just expecting a cute holiday romance with this one, but wow, did I get way more than that. I was not prepared for how emotional and political this book ended up being. Amazing! Can’t wait for the sequel. 4.5/5 #booksky

that time of the year again😌🍿

Y’all who love musicals and queer media, watch this — it’s so good and totally flew under the radar in 2025 (also listening to the soundtrack got me thru scary plane turbulence yesterday morning LOL)

Book 7 of 2026 You Did Nothing Wrong by CG Drews (ARC) I thought I was going into a simple haunted house story, but this was WAY more than that. In the best way! We got a psycho alert with this MC and she is utterly unhinged. 4.5/5 #booksky

Yeah, so I did go to the library. Didn’t pick up any books, but picked next week’s film line-up. #filmsky #libraryhaul #blurayhaul
