A few that come to mind: @melonreads.bsky.social glowing rec's for Erin Langston introduced me to Forever Your Rogue which I loved; I think there was @fatedmates.net love of Scottie brought me to Managed... and maybe @bandherbooks.bsky.social intro to Kate Canterbary?

I think I read The Worst Guy bc of @bandherbooks.bsky.social!! And lol to FYR - I made my love of that book my entire personality on Twitter for weeks!

Best day when Mel posts a new review!!

why can't one piece swimsuits have a snap crotch like body suits?? a girl needs to go to the bathroom and i'd love to not have to wrestle myself back into a wet lycra trap

Me with my high school senior level Spanish, watching Bad Bunny

Still true

how it feels knowing i'm going to leave work tonight and i will have the house all to my lonesome all weekend

I think that one of the panels I want to do for #BookstoreRomanceDay this year is a celebration of the mass market paperback. So many of us got our starts in the Romance genre—whether as readers or writers—with mass market paperbacks & if they're dead, they deserve a proper wake.

Farley and Meyer and the ☔ 🤟 1.99 amzn.to/3O1AhsH #romancelandia

I finished this last night and it was SO good, you should read it *immediately* 😍

Oh I loved this one so much! It was my last read in 2025 and I had the best time. So, so good!

#romancelandia i always forget

THIS romance novella? holy wow. the are frenemies and they KISS on NYE and then every NYE they keep kissing and keep kissing MORE places and omg i haven't felt this squirmy and squee-ful in a hot minute whew

clinging to my whimsy despite the horrors

i will literally take any reason to dump my entire TBR and re-read say yes to the marquess

Good news, vet found a couple undisolved stitches from her surgery and removed them, and it was just bugging her and irritating her Thank gosh

need to take twix the guinea pig to the vet, again, today. she's just not acting herself. i am at work now, but i petted her head and told her YOU NEED TO BE OKAY. send good vibes (mr. b will take her for her appt later).

another thursday night hopeful, waiting, for dr. abbot to show up on the pitt

milwaukee-area heated rivalry fans, save the date for march 3. i will be hosting a special romance book club heated rivalry pop-up program at my library!

forewarning if/when dr. abbot shows up on the pitt season 2 i will be absolutely losing it; feral. unhinged.

I woke up to 2" of ice cold water on my floor this morning and the rest of the day has gone about how you'd expect after that. PERFECT TIME to push the last $5101 in my campaign over the edge.

learned how to crochet mini capybaras! i think the pattern would also be great for guinea pig plushies. www.instagram.com/p/DT-ya_zkz1r/

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

my guinea pig Twix, just to give you a moment to breathe. action is important. so is a few, deep breaths. 🧂

If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here: “Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

I hate the word “steminist” idk why, one could argue it’s a purely irrational hatred but regardless, it exists.

If there is anything I have learned from Landback organizing, it is that the work is generational. *We* will not all survive this - we haven’t all survived thus far, & it’s likely many more of us will die. But *someone* will. All empires fall. ALL regimes change. We fight for our world - and theirs.

new york public library making all of the game changers series immediately available for download on ebook with a library card through valentine's day is genius, beautiful. 15/10 source below

This times a million

my kingdom for a revenge of the humanities and liberal arts on romance novel trope lists TIRED of "steminist" being some sort of all mighty badge. just use scientist or STEM jeez

have ordered two teacups, saucers, and a new tea pot in order to institute a spousal tea time tradition. you know, for the whimsy.

i made it home a few days ago, and was immediately plunged back into real life with negative Fahrenheit temps, kids with stomach viruses, me picking up the stomach virus, and overall sheer shock in my body lolsob. dream vacation, real life stinks.

Some news from me!

Oh hi I'm in Costa Rica and I know it's real shitty both in weather and turmoil right now but here's my Costa Rican tour guide absolutely geeking over his first IRL glimpse of a rare, shy rain forest bird Life is good, even when it's hard. Love to all.

I love this please do this romance authors! #romamcelandia
