3.5⭐️ Book Review of THE KARMA SEQUENCE by AO Wagner What should you do when your AI begins determining the exact date of death for your customers with 100% accuracy? What moral and ethical considerations should you take? thebookdragondotblog.wordpress.com/2025/06/16/b...

New book review! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ It was so cute 🥰 Think Bridgerton, but gay, with a splash of fantasy! thebookdragondotblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/12/b...

Well, it happened. My dreams have officially bled so far into reality that I can no longer distinguish the two 😅🙈 My only hint is that if I can’t picture *exactly* where I was when whatever I think happened… it was probably a dream.

Cal: What’re you going to do with this one life you’re given? Avi: I’m gonna eat fatty foods, have sex, stab my enemies, and visit all the national parks. C: So… there’s nothing profound you want to aspire to do? A: I think enjoying my life is profound enough. 🫡 #vss365

Happy International Asexuality Day!! 💜🤍🩶🖤 Learning that this is a thing, when I was already an adult, completely changed how I viewed myself. For the BETTER I know now that I’m not broken. That I’m perfect as I am So, if anyone needs any book recommendations featuring ace characters, lemme know 🥰

It’s International Asexuality Day! 🩶🤍💜 I am grey ace AND bi, and yes that is a thing ✌🏻🥰 I’ve known I was bi since I was a teenager, but realising I was on the ace spectrum in my 20s was a HUGE revelation. Suddenly I didn’t feel broken anymore 🩷✨

Happy Autism Acceptance Month! Guess the nonfic book from its first lines: When Crystal was young, she exhibited many behaviors psychologists today would recognize as traditionally Autistic: she lined up toys in rows instead of playing pretend with them, chewed on her blanket…

She #bounced the crystal on her palm, marveling as each time it met her skin, the light within flared. Milo had told her it wasn’t possible. Even laughed in her face when she’d told him her plan. But Milo wasn’t laughing now. She grinned at the crystal as it burned red with rage. #vss365

I'm BACK! Back in the States, back to posting. Dirty Thirty Vacation with high school friends was successful, though I was denied entry to a club because they thought I was younger than 18... Thanks? I guess? Or... Creepy?

Today’s WWW Wednesday post is up! I’ve been in a bit of a book slump lately, as life is life-ing in the US 😭, I picked up crochet as a new hobby, and apparently I’m obsessed with Hearthstone Battlegrounds now. But I’ve got a trip coming up where I plan on reading a LOT 😊

I’m excited to announce I’m a panelist for the 2025 Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award (BBNYA)! And sign ups are still open for both authors and bloggers if you want to get in on this! 😁

Not to get super emotional but if I sell a book today, I’ll have sold at least one book every day for a whole year 😭 As a small time indie author, this milestone means so much to me. 🥺💪

Guess the book from its first lines!: On a hot Friday in November, tens of thousands of people descended on downtown Anaheim, California, best known as the home of Disneyland. But the crowd hadn't dished out $300 per ticket and flown in from around the world to ride Space Mountain or

Happy February! As a happily divorced young female, here’s a monthly reading bingo sheet with a sprinkle of reality 🥰

Guess the book from its opening lines: Kalak rounded a rocky stone ridge and stumbled to a stop before the body of a dying thunderclast. The enormous stone beast lay on its side, riblike protrusions from its chest broken and cracked. thebookdragondotblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/24/f...

Best edit I made today: “I still find myself craving her.” Changed from “I still find myself carving her.” 👀 😂 🔪

Guess the book from its opening! It wasn’t a very likely place for disappearances, at least at first glance. Mrs. Baird’s was like a thousand other Highland b&b establishments in 1945; clean & quiet with fading floral wallpaper, gleaming floors, and a coin-operated hot-water geyser in the lavatory.

It’s my birthday!! The big 3 0 👀 Aren’t I… supposed to feel like an adult by now?
